VHP seeks Muslims' fatwa on jihad in India

New Delhi: In a unique effort, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad has appealed to Muslim clerics to issue a fatwa declaring that jihad cannot be waged against India.

The VHP's Dharma Raksha Manch has issued a letter to 13 Muslim organisations asking for India be declared a Dar-Ul-Amen or pure state and stating clearly that Hindus are not infidels.

The letter quotes emails released by the Indian Mujahideen citing religious dictum to justify the terror attacks on Ahmedabad and Delhi.

If the Muslim organisations agree, that would make a holy war against India unnecessary, and would mean a serious blow to Islamic terror organisations.
