"At the time of the Bannu Qurayza massacre, Prophet Mohammed ordered only those children be killed whose pubic hairs have appeared," Umar Khurasani, spokesperson for the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, is quoted as saying by the American website, examiner.com. He said the Islamic terrorists only followed sunnat (actions of Prophet Mohammed) during wars.
Bannu Qurayza was a Jewish tribe that lived in present day Madina in Saudi Arabia. The report mentions Islamic texts that say nearly 800 men and boys and one woman of the tribe were beheaded. Khurasani is quoted as saying that those who consider the Peshawar massacre un-Islamic should refer to Sahih al-Bukhari. Muslims consider Bukhari's as one of the most authentic books on what Prophet Mohammed said and did in his lifetime.
The report further said that many Pakistanis have expressed concern over no Arab countries condemning the Peshawar massacre of more than 130 children. The American website quotes Pakistani journalist Reema Abbasi as saying, "Pakistan buried 132 children. It failed a generation. The world mourns these Angels, but am waiting for that one 'leader' with a conscience to ask where are statements, vigils, condolences from the bloody Arabs!?" Abbasi is the author of 'Historic Temples in Pakistan - A Call To Conscience.
The examiner.com report also talks about Jamaat-ud-Daawa chief and the main accused in Mumbai terror attacks, Hafiz Saeed, who has termed the Peshawar attack a conspiracy by the Indian government.
"If India can send troops to Afghanistan to help the US, then Mujahideen have every right to go to Kashmir and help their brethren. Kashmiris are clamoring for help and it is our duty to respond to their call," Saeed was cited as saying. Former Pakistan dictator General Pervez Musharraf has also blamed India along with Afghanistan for the school attack.
