A victim of rivalry between two jihadist groups, Ansar ul-Islam and Lashkar-e-Islam. This could be essentially nothing more than a turf war, but it is significant that it takes on theological coloring -- for theological appeals to the purity and authenticity of Islam underlie much jihad recruitment today.
"Pak Sikh expelled for not embracing 'authentic Islam,'" from PTI, with thanks to Infidel:
ISLAMABAD: An Islamist group in Pakistan has forced a Sikh, who had converted to Islam 29 years ago, to leave his village in Peshawar's Tirah Valley after his house was set on fire and his son kidnapped for not embracing "authentic Islam".Leaders of Ansar-ul-Islam (AI), a religious group in North West Frontier Province's Khyber Agency, was accused of expelling the Tirah-based Sikh for converting to the "Lashkar-e-Islam’s untrue version of Islam".
"Qazi Mehboob and Said Akbar came to me and said my first Islam is not genuine. They said it was tableeghi Islam," said Din Muhammad, who had converted to Islam 29 years ago.
The Ansar-ul-Islam leaders also forced his family to leave their native village Landakas in Tirah Valley when he refused to accept their demand to revert to Sikhism or embrace the "authentic Islam" that the Ansar-ul-Islam was practising.
He accused the Ansar-ul-Islam activists of kidnapping one of his four sons and forcing him to a pay a ransom of Rs 200,000 for his release.
They also set his house on fire a month ago and seized his land.
I slam, "WELCOME TO THE HOUSE OF HORROR!"
Hello, "mild sharia" Naseem, is your Islam authentic?
Keep your head down, just in case...
Guess he should revert to Sikhism again.
I would never cut and run! Unless I had one! I'd fight like hell! I could never denounce Jesus, he is my living spirit. Jesus has been with me all my life. I cannot see no separation. Sharia law would stone me! I pray for them in Jesus Christ name!
When the last infidel reverts, allah will invent new reasons for rape, murder and mayhem among moslems such as you are not really a Moslem.
War, slavery, rape, murder, arson, all customary norms of the religion of peace. Someone recently wrote on this site that Muslim men can only be satisfied if you give them six young girls every day, provide them with honey and wine and make them think that they are in the heaven.
when the Islamists run short of money, they look for bodies for ranson, kidnapping for ransom, or extortion for cash...seems most of the Islamists have no job....not much of a life either...
It seems one must be extremely careful these days when picking one's fake religion :)
pakistan is where mindless go where no muslim has reached low enough.
Another brilliant example of the type of peace the world will enjoy if the jihadists achieved their dream of an infidel free world.
So what exactly is the difference between what this man practiced for 29 years and "authentic" Islam?
How can people who practice "authentic" Islam demand that a person leave the faith? Wouldn't reverting to Sikhism (Hinduism?) merit a death penalty for apostasy?
You know... I wish I had a set of contradictions and wiggle words in my life principles that would allow me to do anything to anyone with a clear conscience...
Mohammed built the world's most successful Justification Machine. You can justify anything with Qur'an and Sunnah and no one can really say a thing against you.
Plague! Been looking for you. Please go and read the great posts on the reveille written by Foehammer, awake, alarmed pig farmer, sounder, doctor bulldog! Ist column on the Forum.
Where you been? darcy
Somehow, I can't sympathize w/ this Sikh who converted to Islam in the first place. Given what historical Sikh heros like Zowahar Singh and Fateh Singh (Guru Govind Singh's 9 & 11 year old sons) did by refusing to Islamize and getting murdered for their defiance, and Banda Bahadur refusing to convert even though his 4 year old son was slaughtered in front of him, this Sikh is a disgraceful coward. (Don't have the link right now - go to sikh-history.com for all gory details)
As for Ansar ul Islam vs. Lashkar e Islam, the more the civil conflicts there, the merrier. Both you sides - the other side is Infidel. Slay them. And don't accept any prisoners until you've made a great slaughter, as per the Quran.
Islam: damned if you do, and damned if you don't, and also damned if you try not to, and then again damned if you try to undo it, and also damned if you disagree with another Muslim who has more firepower than you do.
Islam: damned.
Look at what "authentic Muslims" do to the "non-authentic Muslims" in Darfur. That, and this recent episode in the land of pure s*** is only a preview of the earth under Islam. There won't be peace, there will still be killings and genocides. No one is equal under Islam. Every Muslim must aspire to be an Arab. And the
Arabs will kill anyone not deemed Islamic enough.
I keep telling Naseem and Abdullah this fate awaits them. They think as "muslims" they are the ones being holy, but are going to be the first one's beat to death for having been in the UK with the infidels.
Muslims murder their own first and last.
Pak is wack!
"They also set his house on fire a month ago and seized his land."
Who will hold title to this land -- allah? He is one greedy god. As if robbing a person of their body/mind/soul/children isn't enough, allah wants your land as well.
Allah is never satisfied. That's because evil knows no bounds.
