#MyJihad in India: Muslim girls organization training girls for jihad

So the girls are getting in their exercise — what’s the big deal?

What’s that? They mean jihad as in warfare against unbelievers? How did Jamaat-e-Islami Hind misunderstand Islam in such a crazy fashion? Jihad as warfare against Infidels — who ever heard of such a thing, except in the febrile imaginings of a few greasy Islamophobes? I am sure Hamas-linked CAIR’s Ahmed Rehab is on his way to Mumbai right now to explain to Jamaat-e-Islami Hind how they are getting jihad all wrong, wrong, wrong.

“Mumbai Police’s jihad circular on girls and Jamaat-e-Islami Hind kicks up storm,” from the Press Trust of India, April 1 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

Mumbai Police kicked up a controversy following its circular which says the women’s wing of an Islamic organisation is “brainwashing and training girls for jihad”.

The outfit has threatened legal action if no apology is tendered by the police.

The “internal circular” said the Girls Islamic Organisation (GIO) of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, one of the country’s largest Islamic organisations that runs 40 high schools and three junior colleges in Maharashtra, has been operating with the objective of “brainwashing college and school girls and train them for jihad”.

“The group GIO is related to Jamaat-e-Islami Hind and it was established in Kerala. The purported aim of this organisation is to make more and more Muslim women aware of their religion and the holy Quran. But the real objective of this organisation is to brainwash school and college girls and train them for jihad,” the circular, issued last month, says.

The document, meant for internal circulation, got leaked and has invited the wrath of Jamaat with its Maharashtra spokesman Mohammad Aslam Ghazi threatening to sue the police department if it does not apologise.

Ghazi alleged it was a deliberate attempt to tarnish the image of the socio-religious organisation.

“The circular was leaked with vicious intentions. The allegations against GIO are false and baseless,” he said.

“The Mumbai police either has to prove the allegations or apologise for the error. Otherwise, we would sue them for defamation,” said Ghazi, adding their organisation worked for “peace, justice and to fight against prejudice of the state machinery”.
