All India Sunni Jamayithul Ulema General Secretary Kanthapuram AP Abubacker Musliyar on Sunday lashed out at the religiously ignorant lot who kept flooding news channels with their views on religion.

Speaking at the International Milad meet held at Kozhikode on Sunday, Kanthapuram was all emphasis on how only those who abide by Islam could criticize the Shariat Law.

Kanthapuram reportedly reiterated that anyone who lends money on interest was absolutely prohibited from criticizing the Sahriat Law.

He said that the Quran was not a political manifesto that could be changed at whim.

Known for his controversial utterances, Kanthapuram had earlier spoken against reservation for women in elections at a Muslim Students Federation (MSF) camp in Kozhikode in the last week of November, saying that gender equality was un-Islamic and that women were fit only to deliver children.
