(15) After the religious ruling of AII Ceylon Jamiyyathul Ulama, our spiritual leader faced severe life threats in the outlying areas to carry our anti-Wahhabi propaganda and therefore our spiritual leader appointed Moulavee AlHaj MSM.Farooq Qadiree, a prominent Sufi scholar for launching a nationwide campaign against Wahhabism. Thus, he went all over the country and campaigned against Wahhabism. His propaganda hindered the growth of Wahhabism. As a result of this, Wahhabi fundamentalists shot dead Moulavee MSM.Farooq Qadiree in his house on 1998.05.29 citing the religious ruling issued by All Ceylon Jamiyyathul Ulama that "Murtads should be killed". This is the first massacre in the history of Sri Lanka by Wahhabi fundamentalists.
