This condemnation is not isolated but rather extends to other acts of violence that have recently plagued Pakistan. During a joint press conference, the Pakistan Ulema Council Chairman labeled the perpetrators of these heinous acts as criminals, unequivocally dissociating their actions from Islam and Muslims. The unanimous condemnation and consensus expressed by Ulema from various schools of thought is not only commendable but also encouraging. In a war that involves battling narratives, their unified voice plays a crucial role in countering extremist ideologies. Appreciating and highlighting this consensus is vital because it demonstrates the unity embedded within the Muslim community’s rejection of these acts of terrorism.
