Talk:Tufail Ahmad

Source 📝

438:, rebutted claims of Tufail Ahmad of Indian Urdu Newspaper spreading radicalisation. Ahmad's article had appeared in Dailyo. Accusing Ahmad for mis-translating and mis-quoting Urdu press, Khan wrote that Ahmad, "who earlier served BBC's Urdu service and has now suddenly emerged as an "Islamic expert" because, like Taslima Nasreen, Tarek Fateh et al, he writes what pleases the Islamophobes." It should be also mentioned that Zafarul Islam Khan and his magazine The Milli Gazette are of Islamist persuasion. In his own article, Zafarul Islam Khan notes that he could note trace the original article in Rozanama Sahafat based on which Tufail Ahmad wrote his article. Khan noted: "We searched the epapers of all the three editions of Sahafat from Delhi, Lucknow and Mumbai of the given date (November 23), but failed to find the article Tufail Ahmad finds so offensive." 446:
archives do not offer the epaper of that period, it was not possible to verify if Tufail Ahmad was honest in his quoting." However, the article cited by Ahmad from Roznama Urdu Times has been widely available on the internet. For example, as per a full translation of the article from Roznama Urdu Times of December 26, 2014, the Urdu Times advocated -- by citing the Koranic verses and Hadiths of Prophet Muhammad -- that all Muslims converting to Islam should be killed. The article notes: "The first interpreter of the Koran, Prophet Muhammad, has clearly ordered the killing of a person becoming apostate ." It will be fair to observe that Tufail Ahmad is strongly opposed to jihadism and its associated viewpoints, while those criticizing him appear to be on the Islamist side.

It will be good if Rumi imbibed even quarter-of-a-percent of Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry’s honesty on Balochistan, especially because not a week has passed in the recent decade when a Baloch man hasn’t been picked up by ISI, only for his dead body to be found by roadside."

article titled as "Raza Rumi -- When Silence is Murder," Ahmad observed: "Rumi is totally silent on the ISI’s jihadist hideouts in Bahawalpur, Rawalpindi, Muridke and Muzaffarabad. These jihadist hideouts are fundamental obstacles to talks . But in the Indian media Rumi advances the ISI’s narrative."

Of the example 4 above with regard to the Orlando shooting story in Roznama Sahafat, Tufail Ahmad noted in his rebuttal piece: "Zafarul Islam's heart is so shut to truth that his eyes refuse to see the article's headline in bold which reads: 'Orlando Shooting – Donald Trump ko Amriki Sadar Bananey ki

I have now read the two articles by Tufail Ahmad and Zafarul Islam Khan in Daily-O. Tufail Ahmad says that the Urdu dailies in India propagate radical Islam, and gives several examples. In his supposed critique of the piece, Khan's article is full of polemics. I can accept that MEMRI is a pro-Israeli

As per his article, it seems Zafarul Islam Khan failed to trace another Urdu newspaper cited by Tufail Ahmad but still went on to criticize him. Khan wrote: "The author further quotes Mumbai's Urdu Times (December 26, 2014) as saying in an article that an apostate should be killed. Since Urdu Times

In his article titled "Prophecy Playing Out in Pakistan," Ahmad noted some of the key forecasts made by Maulana Azad: one, Azad was a respected Islamic scholar and argued that Islam could not be the basis for creating countries, warning that the Muslim League’s politics for the creation of Pakistan

Earlier in June 2014 also, Yasser Latif Hamdani, dissected Tufail's article in the Indian Express on the politics of the India-Pakistan Partition. It seems Hamdani's criticism followed after Tufail Ahmad wrote a column in the leading newspaper The New Indian Express, noting that key forecasts about

Ahmad further questioned Raza Rumi for his silence on human rights issues in Pakistan's Balochistan province, saying: "In September 2012, Pakistan’s Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry was more honest than Raza Rumi when he called for: 'an end to military operations against the Baloch and for

It's not clear if Tufail Ahmad has responded to Zafarul Islam Khan's article. However, it does appear that Khan did not do his home work properly. Because, it appears Khan was searching for Roznama Sahafat of November 23 but Tufail Ahmad's original article mentions Urdu dailies including Roznama

In August 2015, a Pakistan-based blog published a post "Tufail Ahmad -an extreme right wing RSS Stooge at MEMRI". It said "the Tufail Ahmad doctrine of dealing with Pakistanis – by setting the narrative in a way that is perpetually skewed against Pakistan and Pakistanis."
