The Quran Controversy in India
Channel: Mazahir Rahim
Date: 2021-03-19

In March 2021, an Indian Muslim Wasim Rizvi wrote to the country’s Islamic organizations, asking them to respond to his suggestion that 26 verses of the Quran that promote violence and jihad against non-Muslims be discarded. When he didn’t get a response, Rizvi took his case to the Indian Supreme Court. He is now under a death sentence issued by Islamic groups with a bounty of One million Rupees on his head.
 In this episode, writer Tarek Fatah suggests abrogation of Quranic verses is not the answer to Islamic Terrorism. Rather a strict separation between Islam and politics plus discarding the idea of Muslims being a seperate ‘Ummat’ (community) from Hindus of Bharat.
