Muslims, get rid of these blood sucking leeches on your body
By Justice Katju
A large part of the blame for the present plight of Indian and Pakistani Muslims and the Islamophobia must rest on most Muslim political leaders and most Maulanas/Muftis in India, who for their own vested interests have been, like leeches, sucking the blood of the innocent but gullible Muslim masses for a long time, and deceiving them..

Consider just one example. In 1985 the Indian Supreme Court gave the Shahbano judgment that a Muslim man must give maintenance to his divorced wife. One would have expected every reasonable person to have supported this progressive and humanitarian judgment. In almost every country in the world a husband has to give maintenance to his divorced wife if she is unable to maintain herself. But no, almost all Maulanas and Muslim political leaders raised a hue and cry, and vehemently denounced the judgment as being in conflict with sharia law, and ultimately the Rajiv Gandhi Congress govt. got the judgment legislatively nullified, as he was told that otherwise Congress would lose the Muslim vote bank.
Take another example, the practice of triple talaq is clearly inhuman and retrograde, because by triple talaq a Sunni Muslim husband can simply throw out his wife ( with her children, if any ) for no rhyme or reason, and without going to Court. Yet the All India Muslim Personal Board, which includes many arch reactionary Maulanas, and other like minded arch reactionaries, strongly opposed its abolition in the Supreme Court.
In fact the entire sharia law is outdated, and needs to be abolished. After all, a law is a reflection of existing social customs in a society at a particular stage of its historical development, and so when society changes, the law too must change. How can a law made in the 7th or 8th century in Arabia be relevant or applicable in India in the 21st century, when society has totally changed in these 1400 years ? ? It is like applying Manusmriti to Hindus today. And to say that if sharia is abolished Islam will be abolished is nonsense. Almost the entire old ( uncodified ) Hindu law was abolished in 1955 and 1956 by the Hindu Marriage Act, Hindu Succession Act, etc but Hinduism has not thereby been abolished.
In fact a uniform civil code would benefit Muslims by putting an end to the feudal, outdated sharia law, but the reactionary leeches, viz. most of the Indian Muslim political leaders and Maulanas will not permit this.
The practice of wearing burqa too must be banned, as it is a feudal, barbaric custom degrading to women, and it was banned in Turkey by the great Turkish leader Kemal Mustafa Ataturk in the 1920s.
Islam spread in large parts of the world, from Spain to Indonesia, because it was a great liberating force, which spread the great message of equality, and gave social emancipation to the suppressed sections of society, e.g. dalits in India.
But burqa is an enslaving force, as it puts a woman in a cage, and thus it is directly contrary to what Islam stands for. Burqa is thus a creation of shaitan, and must be burnt.
There were no maulanas at the time of the great Prophet, nor envisaged in the Quran.. These unislamic accretions came into existence as reactionary vested interests whose whole sole aim was, and is, to keep Muslims backward, while profiing themselves.
It is now high time for Muslim society, particularly the Muslim youth, to get rid of these leeches, who for their own vested interests, have kept the Muslims backward ( see Sachar Committee Report ), and have been sucking their blood.
Muslims should now demand abolition of sharia, burqa, madarsas and maulanas. Failure to do so will only give a handle to the reactionaries among the majority Hindu community, and be disastrous for Indian Muslims.
