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

New York City subway jihad bomber is follower of Bangladeshi Muslim cleric linked to murders of atheists

Dec 13, 2017 12:24 pm By Robert Spencer

A Muslim cleric who leads an Islamic group linked to the murders of atheists. How strange! How did this man who has dedicated his life to understanding his religion properly somehow get the idea that it mandated violence against unbelievers? We can only hope that Pope Francis is on his way top Dhaka now to explain to Moulana Jasimuddin Rahmani that authentic Islam and the proper understanding of the Qur’an reject every form of violence.

“The New York City Attacker Followed the Teachings of a Radical Muslim Preacher,” Associated Press, December 13, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

(DHAKA, Bangladesh) — The man accused of carrying out a bomb attack in New York City’s subway system was influenced by the sermons and writings of a radical Muslim preacher, but appeared to have no known links to local radical groups, Bangladeshi officials said Wednesday.

The suspect, identified as Akayed Ullah, a 27-year-old Bangladeshi immigrant, had asked his wife in Bangladesh to read the writings and listen to the sermons of Moulana Jasimuddin Rahmani, the currently imprisoned leader of a banned group called Ansarullah Bangla Team, said Monirul Islam, a top official of the counterterrorism department.

The group has been linked to killings and attacks on secular academics and atheist bloggers in Bangladesh. Rahmani is serving time in prison for his involvement in the killings.

The wife was questioned in Bangladesh and told investigators that her husband discussed Rahman’s writings with her during his last visit home, Islam said.

Ullah is accused of strapping a crude pipe bomb to his body and detonating it during rush hour Monday.

Relatives and police said Ullah last visited his wife and newborn son in Bangladesh in September, after which he returned to the United States.

Counterterrorism officials questioned the wife and her parents before releasing her Tuesday night, Islam said, adding that investigators were currently questioning his brother-in-law and also planned to question any known close associates.

Ullah arrived in the United States in 2011 and the Department of Homeland Security said he is a lawful permanent resident of the U.S. who was living in Brooklyn. He came to the U.S. on a visa issued to him based on a family connection to a U.S. citizen….

    MUST THINK: Without a non-Muslim tax payer base / endless welfare payments, or an easy resource like oil which Muslims can just pump out and sell, or even have the luxury of possessing slaves, Islamic society will collapse because most Muslims have interest only in prayer and afterlife and as a consequence, they are lazy and never productive. That is why left to themselves, most of these Islamic countries go bankrupt.. See Yemen, Pak, Somalia, Ethipia, Bangla… Or they need to do Jehaad on non-Muslim lands and live off them. That is why the Koran encourages slavery so that all the work can be outsourced to the slaves while Muslims can indulge in their prayers, exponential breeding, and never ending rioting and jehaad.

      Add to this Islam’s hatred of reason and disdain for any productive labor–which they consider fit only for slaves–and it is no surprise that Islamic countries are economic basket cases.

      Muslims do not think, Mr, Infidel. They OBEY the DIVINE COMMANDS of Allah, because ‘Allah knows best’ and so Muslims should not use their mind to understand Allah. They should only obey when Allah says, ‘KILL!’

      “Fighting has been prescribed for you while it is hateful to you. But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah knows, while you know not.” (Koran. 2:216)

      “Muslims must kill disbelievers wherever they are unless they convert to Islam.” – Dr. Ali Gomaa, Grand Mufti of Egypt, Al Ahram, Apr.7, 2008

      Tabari IX:69 “He who believes in Allah and His Messenger has protected his life and possessions from us. As for those who disbelieve, we will fight them forever in the Cause of Allah. Killing them is a SMALL MATTER TO US.”

    Send McMaster also. Between him and the Pope nobody knows Islam better.

      No, the grand mufti at Al Azhar knows Islam better:

      “Muslims must kill disbelievers wherever they are unless they convert to Islam.” – Dr. Ali Gomaa, Grand Mufti of Egypt, Al Ahram, Apr.7, 2008

      Gomaa’s office, the Dar al Ifta (literally, the House of Fatwas), a government agency charged with issuing religious legal opinions on any question to Muslims who ask for them, issues some 5,000 fatwas a week.

      Gomaa knows Islam the BEST.

    The incarceration of Moulana Jasimuddin Rahmani shows that PURE ISLAM cannot be practiced in Islamic countries!!! Islam is too violent even for Muslims!!!

    Moulana Jasimuddin Rahmani has been preaching pure jihad and HATRED OF DIRTY KAFIRS ‘for the sake of Allah’ and many Bengalis have been listening to him and hacking atheists and Hindus to death with machetes!

    No wonder, Ayked Ullah was all INSPIRED to commit MASS MURDER ‘in the cause of Allah’.

    The incarceration of Moulana Jasimuddin Rahmani shows that Muslims are turning against pure Islam.
