## Stand on Indo-Palestine relations

Haque supports India's position on Palestine, stating in an interview, “India has opposed the creation of Israel right from the days of its freedom struggle. India’s interest will be best served by Supporting Palestine’s legitimate aspirations.”

## Views on terrorism

Haque views terrorism as an act against humanity, stating that "An act of terror which involves the killing of innocent people is contrary to the spirit of Quran and Islam because the holy book itself declares that to kill one human life is to kill entire humanity and to save one human life is to save entire humanity. (Quran, 5:32). Islamic militancy is a misnomer in another sense also. The so-called Islamic militancy has killed more Muslims than any other community, and the Muslims are the worst affected victim of terrorism." He is the author of *International Terrorism and Violence: A Human Rights Perspective*.

## Views on nuclear weapons

Haque has stated that the presence of a large number of nuclear weapons in a turbulent world is a serious threat to the existence of life on our planet.
