Monday Insights - Jun 02, 2014


MONDAY INSIGHTS – JUN 02, 2014:

1.   Thirty (30) muftis of the SIC issued this statement following the murder of a 25-year-old woman, Farzana, in Lahore who was stoned to death. Murder in the name of honour is ‘haraam’ and there is no permission in Islam ‘for such a callous offence’, according to members of the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC).


2.   It needs to be repeatedly stressed that the war against terrorism has compounded the problem of extremism in the country and the army had been pushed to fight in North Waziristan on US directives.

3.   Up to 80,000 Palestinians in East Jerusalem in East Jerusalem have spent three months without running water, despite petitions and calls from human rights bodies after an Israeli water utility company stopped supplies in March.
