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

Pakistan detains Muslim leader for “spreading terrorism in the name of jihad”

May 14, 2017 10:07 pm By Robert Spencer

The distinction between terrorism and jihad is exceedingly fine, especially in light of these Qur’an passages:

“We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve for what they have associated with Allah of which He had not sent down authority. And their refuge will be the Fire, and wretched is the residence of the wrongdoers.” (Qur’an 3:151)

“When your Lord inspired to the angels, ‘I am with you, so strengthen those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so strike upon the necks and strike from them every fingertip.’” (Qur’an 8:12)

“And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do not know, whom Allah knows. And whatever you spend in the cause of Allah will be fully repaid to you, and you will not be wronged.” (Qur’an 8:60)

“JuD chief Hafiz Saeed spreading terrorism in name of jihad: Pakistan’s interior ministry,” News Nation, May 14, 2017:

Pakistan’s interior ministry has told a judicial review board that five people including Mumbai terror attack mastermind and Jamat-ud Dawah (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed have been detained for “spreading terrorism in the name of jihad”.

I have been detained by the Pakistani government in order to stop me from raising voice for Kashmiris, Saeed said who appeared before the board on Saturday.

The interior ministry, however, rejected Saeed’s arguments and told the three-member board that he and his four aides have been detained for “spreading terrorism in the name of jihad”….

Saeed said, “The allegations levelled by the government against me had never been proved by any state institution. My organisation and I have been victimised for raising voice for freedom of Kashmir and criticising the government’s weak policy on the Kashmir issue.”…

    The ISLAMIC state of Pakistan.

    With the emphasis being on Islamic. Need I say more?

    Islamic theology gives Muslims permission to lie to non-Muslims as per numerous Quranic directives: (Quran: 16:106, 3:28, 9:3, 40:28, 2:225, 3:54.)

    We ex-Muslims know that Islam is a lie.

    Here is a recent statement from a group of Bangladeshi apostates living in the UK explaining the reasons why they have abandoned Islam:

    “One who claims to be a messenger of God is expected to live a saintly life. He must not be given to lust, he must not be a sexual pervert, and he must not be a rapist, a highway robber, a war criminal, a mass murderer or an assassin. One who claims to be a messenger of God must have a superior character. He must stand above the vices of the people of his time. Yet Muhammad’s life is that of a gangster godfather. He raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations and enslaved the women and children. He raped the women captured in war after killing their husbands and told his followers that it is okay to have sex with their captives (Qur’an 33:50). He assassinated those who criticized him and executed them when he came to power and became de facto despot of Arabia. Muhammad was bereft of human compassion. He was an obsessed man with his dreams of grandiosity and could not forgive those who stood in his way…

    The statement continues,

    Muhammad was a narcissist, like Hitler, Saddam or Stalin. He was astute and knew how to manipulate people, but his emotional intelligence was less evolved than that of a 6-year-old child. He simply could not feel the pain of others. He brutally massacred thousands of innocent people and pillaged their wealth. His ambitions were big and as a narcissist he honestly believed he is entitled to do as he pleased and commit all sorts of crimes and his evil deeds are justified.”

      The HYPOCRITICAL Jihadist State of Pakistan. Let the taqiyya fly! Everyone shovels it and pretends not to smell it.

        Keyword here is detained, not jailed. Pakistan temporarily places these Jihadi animals on temporary house arrest every time it is under a lot of Western diplomatic pressure.

        Whom does Pakistan jail? The good doctor who helped the US locate Osama bin Laden and that innocent woman charged with “blasphemy”.

    JIHAD IS THE SIXTH AND MOST IMPORTANT PILLAR OF ISLAM. The HUMP of the camel!! Pakistan wants to promote jihad while denying jihad. They are hypocrites.

    In fact, jihad is inconvenient for Islamic governments, and more than a little embarrassing for them. They must pretend that they like jihad. As long as it takes place away from home…in places like Israel or New York or Mumbay or Kabul, that’s a FINE jihad, but just don’t conduct jihad in Pakistan!

    The point of jihad is that it overthrows government and if Pakistan’s government is not Islamic enough, Pakistan’s prime minister becomes the target of jihad.

    So now Pakistan has to reign in the jihad since it threatens the government. This is the DELICIOUS moment of irony and even hypocrisy for Muslim politicians. Pakistan was willing to export jihad and now they are the target.

    Jihad isn’t funny when it’s not someone else’s house, but your own, that’s on fire.

    Perhaps President Trump mentioned USA handouts?

    Islam is by definition terrorism. And when one knows what Islam teaches it is obvious. A basic Islamic tenant is “if you don’t become Islamic we will deceive, attack, and kill you when you least expect it.”. That is intended to make people adopted Islam through terror. Which is terrorism,

    The So Called ‘Moderate Muslims’
    THE PARODY OF ISLAM!

    • Jaladhi says

      Nice proof from the cat’s mouth that all Muslims are extremists. They don’t consider themselves extremists since all those extremist views are religiously sanctioned in Quran and thus considered normal for them. The Western fools keep looking for moderate Islam and moderate Muslims – here they are all radical and extremists!
