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

Pakistani army supporting anti-India jihadist groups

Feb 17, 2017 8:53 am By Robert Spencer

“These outfits operate madrassas and charity fronts with no hindrance from Pakistani law enforcement authorities.”

Yet Pakistan is considered to be an ally of the United States. There needs to be, as I have said for years, a complete reconfiguration of our international alliances based on the jihad threat.

“Karachi hub of anti-India jihadists supported by Pakistan army: Report,” by Neeraj Chauhan, Times of India, February 17, 2017:

NEW DELHI:The Pakistan port city of Karachi is a hub of anti-India jihadist groups and criminals who often enjoy the support of the Pakistani army, says a report released by the Brussels-based think tank, International Crisis Group.

The report says terrorist groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba, its parent organisation Jamaat-ud-Dawa, Maulana Masood Azhar led Jaish-e-Mohammad and anti-Shia group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi have “umbilical links with Karachi’s large, well-resourced madrassas”.

It says Pakistan’s most dangerous groups actively contest Karachi’s turf and resources. These outfits operate madrassas and charity fronts with no hindrance from Pakistani law enforcement authorities.

ICG’s report titled “Pakistan: Stoking the fire in Karachi”, talks about how ethnic, political and sectarian rivalries and a jihadist influx are turning the largest and wealthiest city of Pakistan, into a pressure cooker. It says that during a crackdown on jihadists and criminal gangs, Pakistan Rangers have spared many areas in Karachi and its outskirts of the city, known as the redoubts of “good” jihadists like LeT-JuD and Jaish-e-Mohammed.

“There are pockets all along the Super Highway of ‘good Taliban'”, ICG quoted a senior Sindh ruling PPP (Pakistan People’s Party) member.

Quoting elected representatives, senior officials, journalists, civil society activists and sources from the ground, ICG report states that while many jihadist masterminds had fled Karachi by September 2013, anticipating the Rangers’ operation, they may have now returned emboldened by lack of action. On the role of these groups when India-Pakistan tensions are running high, ICG quoted a retired senior provincial official of Pakistan, who said, “Any time Pakistan-India or Kashmir tensions flare, these groups mobilise in the heart of the city…You can’t treat (LeT and Jaish-e-Mohammed) as your friends in one part of the country and your enemies elsewhere.”…

    I also find that position conflicting. Good jihadists? Good Taliban?
    and they all adhere to and obey the teachings of the same Koran? Mmmm..

      Sorry, Obama’s gift was to Palestine, but you can be sure Pakistan has had Billions in Foreign Aid. l know the UK has given Billions to some of the worst muslim countries in the world.

      India Never had a choice. Unfortunately it was part of Anglo American Policy when India became independent due to the fear of India becoming Communist.
      Pakistan was created as a buffer between India and Russia.

      Pakistan only began to be rapidly a center of Terrorist before 1965 and has since then had billions in Saudi Money pumped in to create generations of killer bots in an education system that brainwashes kids to kill non muslims.

    The Pakistan army is a jihadist army. The motto of Pak Army is ‘Allah-o-akbar’ and that is also the name of the army’s official march.

    The Pak Army endorse world Islamic conquest through jihad.

    “There needs to be, as I have said for years, a complete reconfiguration of our international alliances based on the jihad threat.”

    American govt.’s international security alliance is historically based on Israel, America, Great Britain, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan fighting against India, Russia, the People’s Republic of China, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and North Korea.

    Pakistan calls its atomic bomb as “Islamic Bomb”. US doesn’t call it Christian Bomb, India doesn’t call it Hindu Bomb, but Pak calls it Islamic Bomb.

    Population of non-muslims in Pakistan has reduced from 20% to 3%.

    In India, muslim population has increased from 4% to 17%.

    Muslim population is continuously, incessantly INCREASING. And non-muslims are being ERADICATED.

      Pakistanian history books teach Pakistanian students to honor medieval Muslim criminals, medieval Muslim gangsters, medieval Muslim mass-murderers, and medieval Muslim tyrants like:

      Muhammad bin Qasim,

      Mahmud Ghaznavi,

      Muhammad Ghuri,

      Alauddin Khalji,

      Muhammad Tughlaq,

      Sikandar Lodi,

      Ẓahīr-ud-Dīn Muḥammad Babur,

      Muhi-ud-Din Muhammad Aurangzeb, and

      Ahmad Shah Abdali.

        Unfortunately the Indian congress appeasement policies also glorify these thugs and butchers in history books taught to Indian Children.

        Efforts to reform these distorted and outrageous books in education are labelled as ‘Saffronization’ of Education

          Labelled ‘saffronisation’ by leftists.

        Scratch the surface and they are all the same 🙁

        And he has married 2 Hindu women till now, no doubt after converting both of them to islam.

    How do you distinguish jihadists from Pakistan army? They openly talk about ‘Islamic bomb’ and waging a thousand-year war against India. Liars, hid Bin Laden in their shadow for years and kept milking billions from USA searching for him.

    Can’t wait until the travel ban list is revised and expanded..

    True.
    And sadly, in 1947, the newly independent nation could not be rid of them because of Gandhi.

    Pak army actively encourages jihad against India and Indians.

    Dear Indian jihadwatchers: please write to PM Modi and urge him to invite President Donald Trump to visit India and discuss the global resistance to jihad terrorism.

    Dear American jihadwatchers: please write to President Donald Trump and urge him to reduce American ‘aid’ to Pakistan… to gradually but inexorably *disentangle* the USA from hideous Islamic Pakistan, and *realign* toward what is, today, a *natural* ally – Infidel-majority INDIA.

    Trump is good friends with Benjamin Netanyahu; they knew each other well before Trump ran for President. Now, what do we know about Israel? – Israel has been developing a rapport with India for *decades*.

    Israel is well placed to play the yenta between USA and India! And to advise USA to *disengage* from Pakistan.

    Time for Uncle Sam to tell Pakistan “Talaq, talaq talaq”, throw it back into the sewer of the dar al Islam, and… march on down to Mother India’s doorstep with a big bunch of flowers and a box of chocolates and say, “I’ve got rid of that trollop Pakistan, like I should have done years ago. Fancy a date?”

    Trump is a businessman. He and India should be able to do business, to the benefit of both countries… and fight jihad, too.

    Let’s not forget that, among the ashes of 9/11, there were no fewer than 41 Indian citizens.. and a lot more of Indian background who had migrated to the USA, naturally drawn to the American dream, and had become loyal American citizens (the vast majority of Indian names I saw amongst the list of victims of 9/11, were of obvious Hindu or Sikh origin, not mohammedan).

    After citizens of the UK (67 people killed), people from India formed the single biggest bloc of foreigners on US soil who were killed by 9/11. Their ashes mingled with those of American victims of Jihad, and rest together in the soil of NYC.

    Let their memory inspire an alliance: an alliance to resist the global Jihad.
