Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

India: Muslim groups say the Islamic State is un-Islamic, tool of “enemies of Islam”

Jul 9, 2016 2:04 pm By Robert Spencer

This is just another evasion. If the Islamic State is un-Islamic, they should confront the elements of Islam that allow entities such as the Islamic State to arise in the first place, and formulate positive and honest ways to prevent them from arising in the future by confronting and refuting the Islamic State’s understanding of Islam. Instead, they take the easy way out and blame non-Muslims for the Islamic State, which is just kneejerk conspiracy paranoia.

Islamic State reaps what was sown

“ISIS a Tool in the Hands of Anti-Islamic Forces, Say Muslim Groups,” IANS, July 9, 2016:

Terming IS as a tool in the hands of anti-Islam forces, Muslim organisations representing all schools of Islamic thought on Friday condemned the terror attack in holy city of Madinah, terming it as an attack on Islam and all Muslims of the world.

Addressing a massive public meeting organized by Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM), leaders and religious scholars said the attack by so-called Islamic State (IS) near Prophet’s mosque was the handiwork of enemies of Islam.

A resolution passed unanimously at the meet strongly condemned attacks in Saudi Arabia and other parts of the world, during the holy month of Ramadan.

“The ISIS has nothing to do with Islam and its principles and tenets, and, in fact, all its activities and terror attacks are meant to strike at the very roots of Islam. The ISIS is not only unIslamic but acts as a tool in the hands of Western forces who are enemies of Islam. In the garb of Muslims, they are defaming Islam,” said the resolution.

“This band of ‘neo-Kharijis’ had the audacity to proclaim itself to be a so-called world-wide caliphate and appointing a self-styled caliph in 2014. These armed thugs have been letting loose a reign of terror in some parts of Iraq and Syria and spreading their subversive activities to other countries in the Gulf and North Africa, as well as to other Muslim nations and European, Asian and African countries,” it added.

It said during Ramadan, the ISIS killed innocent Muslims and non-Muslims in terror attacks in Baghdad, Istanbul and Dhaka, killing 300 persons and injuring scores of others.

“They sought to disturb the peace and tranquillity of one of Islam’s holiest sites – the Prophet’s mosque at Madinah. The suicide bomber was stopped in his tracks outside the mosque complex and four Saudi security men were martyred and five were injured.”

“The perpetrators of this violence at the holy city have incurred the wrath of Almighty Allah and the world will soon witness the destruction of these unholy men who are making attempts to harm Islam and demonise the Muslims,” the resolution said.

It noted that through its sustained but distorted propaganda on the social media, the IS has been making attempts to spread its nefarious designs and tentacles to various Muslim and non-Muslim countries, by seeking to recruit youth and enlist the support of fringe terror groups operating in those countries.

“This massive gathering of Indian Muslims appeals to their co-religionists, especially the youth, to be wary of the propaganda and activities of the ISIS, and do their utmost to foil the nefarious attempts of this anti-Islamic group to disturb peace and tranquility and create ill-will and hatred against the Muslims among their compatriots in this great country,” it added.

Prominent among those who addressed the meeting are MIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi, Mufti Khaleel Ahmed of Jamia-e-Nizamia, Syed Mohammed Qubool Pasha of Majlis-e-Ulema-e-Deccan, Hafiz Peer Shabbir Ahmed of Jamiat-ul-Ulema, Maulana Khaled Saifullah Rahmani, secretary, All India Muslim Personal Law Board, Hamed Mohammed Khan of Jamaat-e-Islami, Raheemuddin Ansari of AUnited Muslim Forum, Safi Ahmed Madani of Jamiat-ul-Ahle-Hadees, Shia cleric Moulana Syed Nisar Hussain Hyder Aga and Shaikh Mansoor Bhai of Dawoodi Bohra community.

    Caliph Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi, who is the ISIS chief and the caliph of the Islamic State, is apparently the first Islamic Studies PhD from a Muslim background who has no idea about Islam.
    Al-Baghdadi, who has obtained BA, MA and PhD degrees in Islamic studies from the Islamic University in Baghdad, has been condemned as a person who knows nothing about Islam, and as the head of an organization that has nothing to do with Islam.
    The professors from the Islamic University of Baghdad, however, do not agree. They taught the caliph and believe his credentials and doctrines are sound.
    “If a person who has a PhD in Islamic studies and does nothing but study the Islamic scriptures knows nothing about Islam, then who does?” questioned al-Baghdadi’s main teacher from the Islamic University, preferring to remain anonymous since the fatwa against ISIS and its chief puts his reputation into jeopardy.
    “The wine-sipping Muslims, those hedonistic adulterers will tell the world what true Islam is? Obama and Cameron know more about Islam than the faculty of Islamic studies at the Islamic University in Baghdad?” the professor bellowed with rage, while talking to a journalist.
    Another professor who had taught al-Baghdadi in BA said off the record that the Isis caliph was an ardent student.
    “He had this obsession with Islamic studies. I used to tell him to go out and have some fun sometimes. But his idea of fun wasn’t too human friendly,” the professor said. “In any case he was a top student. One of the best I’ve ever had. Had the entire syllabus on his finger tips – to be honest, he knew more about Islamic studies than most of the professors.”
    “While you can question whether they are humans or not, there is no doubt that ISIS, including Abu Bakr (al Baghdadi), are indeed bona fide Muslims,” concluded the ISIS caliph’s PhD professor.

      I didn’t knew Al Bagdadi had a Ph . D. like Reza Aslan…..

      Jul 9, 2016 at 10:06 pm

      Al Baghdadi is probably one of the top Islamic scholars in the world.

      So if ISIS is not Islamic, what does ISIS do that Mohammed did’t do? What’s the difference between ISIS Islam and Wahhabi Islam?

      • Baconator says

        Jul 9, 2016 at 11:37 pm

        Al Baghdadi is a serious Islamic scholar with a Ph.D. in Islamic studies (which makes him more qualified than Reza Aslan) but he is also a direct descendant of Muhammad.

    Oh…those pesky, nameless ‘enemies of Islam’ who just want the jihadists to make ordinary Muslims look bad and embarrass them.

    No…ordinary Muslims don’t want jihad, strict Sharia law or caliphate…except they say they do in polls and surveys time after time…as many as 65% of Muslims worldwide want what ISIS wants, but they don’t want it ‘now’ like ISIS…some time in the future maybe…when Sharia will be perfect. And when 80% of the world isn’t dirty kafirs.

    ‘Ordinary Muslims’ don’t think much of jihad, in other words.

    Jul 9, 2016 at 3:06 pm

    Of course – just because ISIS claims to be islamic, its leader has a PhD in islamic studies, it justifies its actions using silamic literature and historical precedent, and managed to attract tens of thousands of devout muslims from all over the world to join them in Syria, as well as an untold number of others to commit jihad terror acts in their host nations, we shouldn’t jump into conclusions like “ISIS is islamic”, right?

    • Norger says

      Jul 9, 2016 at 11:12 pm

      Exactly. That would be Islamophobic.

  4. Mirren10 says

    Jul 9, 2016 at 4:08 pm

    Of course they do.
    The West is still in the situation where they are unable to comprehend the **magnitude** of islam’s lies. Because we are at the *core*, decent people, we have a massiv inability to swallow the fact that we are faced with a force that wants to destroy us. Well, we were faced with that in 1939/40, but we managed to defeat them.

    Uh, kinda sounds like what my liberal friends tell me– they aren’t real Muslims, just a few extremists, they want you to be against Islam si don’t play into it . . .
    but if there’s anything to that (& I don’t believe there is), then why did it take so long for any kind of outcry? & why leave out he attacks in the western world?

    There are 73 Islamic sects, according to Mohammed.
    http://www.dawn.com/news/1035023

    Besides the 3 basic sects ( 20 some odd varieties know today )
    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_schools_and_branches

    Each sect can say the others are “non Islamic”

  7. dumbledoresarmy says

    Jul 9, 2016 at 5:57 pm

    It was an Indian Muslim, during the time of British rule in India, who coined the infinitely-misleading and Orwellilan phrase “religion of peace” that has caused so much confusion since (especially when somebody – WHO? – fed it to President Bush and he didn’t have enough commonsense to refuse to use it).

    My own suspicion is that this sort of pronouncement is meant to cause confusion among the eavesdropping Infidels and to deflect scrutiny from *themselves*.

    From the article – “Prominent among those who addressed the meeting are MIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi, Mufti Khaleel Ahmed of Jamia-e-Nizamia, Syed Mohammed Qubool Pasha of Majlis-e-Ulema-e-Deccan, Hafiz Peer Shabbir Ahmed of Jamiat-ul-Ulema, Maulana Khaled Saifullah Rahmani, secretary, All India Muslim Personal Law Board, Hamed Mohammed Khan of Jamaat-e-Islami, Raheemuddin Ansari of AUnited Muslim Forum, Safi Ahmed Madani of Jamiat-ul-Ahle-Hadees, Shia cleric Moulana Syed Nisar Hussain Hyder Aga and Shaikh Mansoor Bhai of Dawoodi Bohra community.”

    My advice to Indian police, military and homeland security people: here you have a self-selected list. If these people are already on your list of ‘people to watch’… watch harder. Don’t let them out of your sight for ten seconds together. If any of them are not yet *on* that list of People to Watch.. put them there. Investigate *thoroughly*. Investigate their mosques and any associated entities such as madrasas. Don’t omit even *one*. And check, especially, as to whether anybody who has passed through those mosques, or those madrasas, has joined Islamic State.

    the louder and more ludicrous the denials that they warble in public, the more suspicious you should be.

        ……………………….

        What absolute claptrap. Dumbledore’s Army never said that Shi’ite Ismaili Dawood Bohra members would *specifically join ISIS*.

        ISIS is just one of many Jihad terror groups. Any pious Muslim believes in Jihad as a tool against the Infidels. A pious Muslim need not join ISIS to slaughter Infidels.

        Ismaili Dawood Bohra have seven pillars of Islam–one of them *specifically* being Jihad. This sect, like mainstream Muslims, lauds “Shahids” (“martyrs” who die while waging violent Jihad).

        There have been Ismaili Dawood Bohra spokesmen excusing Osama bin Laden and condemning Bush, Blair, and Israel. The idea that they do not support violent Jihad is absurd.

          More idiocy from above poster.

          There has never been a Dawoodi Bohra state to wage aggresive war and their martyrs come from persecution inflicted upon them by others.

          There are no Dawoodi Bohra terrorists or even armed groups.

          Dawoodi Bohras have been attacked by Salafists.

          “There has never been a Dawoodi Bohra state to wage aggresive war”

          Huh, Mazo? All that amounts to is that they have not been in a position to do so, not that their tenets forbid them to do so.

          “Dawoodi Bohras have been attacked by Salafists.”

          Like overall shias have. Hey, remember the chocolate shop jihadi?

          There has never been a Dawoodi Bohra state to wage aggresive (sic) war…
          ………………………………

          They are a small sect. Their not having had a state of their own means nothing.

          They have been attacked by Salafists because they are “heretical” Shia, *not* because they follow a peaceful creed.

          And even though they are an unorthodox sect, that *does not* prevent them from whitewashing the savagery of Islam for the ‘filthy Infidels’. They engage in this on a regular basis.

          And this is just one group that took place in the meretricious nonsense above. There are at least ten others here.

      • Angemon says

        Jul 11, 2016 at 7:20 am

        The ISIS jihadi in the Australian chocolate shop was a shia muslim, the kind of who ISIS is killing as heretics. That didn’t prevent him from converting to sunni islam and joining ISIS, did it? Tsk tsk, even by your standards that was a piss-poor sand throwing. Is your wrist ok? All that “master” baiting must be taking its toll…

      DDA is right. A Google search for “ISIS is Jewish” gets you 13,600,000 hits.

      Muslims have also claimed that ISIS is run by the CIA. That one gets you 479,000 hits.

    Jul 11, 2016 at 11:28 pm

    Defaming Islam? HA ha ha ha ha ha ha! Could the rep of this inhuman ideology get any lower or more disgusting? At this point, Islam is a religion entirely defined by, and universally synonymous with….backwardness, violence, misogyny, homophobia, antisemitism, terrorism, fanaticism, oppression, barbarism and death. Any attempt to rehab its image would have to be an exercise in turd polishing on a massive scale. Fact is, it’s far too late for Islam to get a sunny make-over. That train left the station a looong time ago. Don’t believe me? Just yell “Allah Akbar” in a non-Muslim crowd and watch the pandemonium begin. Half the people will hit the deck and the other half will start stampeding for the nearest exit screaming.

    Jul 12, 2016 at 12:19 am

    India: Muslim groups say the Islamic State is un-Islamic, tool of “enemies of Islam”
    …………………………

    The only problem these pious Muslims have with ISIS is that they are not the ones running the Caliphate, and they have not pronounced Takfir on these specific Muslims. There are no doctrinal differences at all.

    More:

    It said during Ramadan, the ISIS killed innocent Muslims and non-Muslims in terror attacks in Baghdad, Istanbul and Dhaka, killing 300 persons and injuring scores of others.
    …………………………

    Notice the weasely phrasing here. Are those non-Muslims innocent or not? According to orthodox Islam, *no* unbelievers are innocent.
