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

Bangladesh: Muslim who stabbed writer says victim is “enemy of Islam…I am working for Islam”

Mar 9, 2018 12:22 pm By Robert Spencer

“Md Moniruzzaman, additional deputy inspector general (intelligence and special) of Police Headquarter, told The Daily Star that salafists are ultra conservatives and are susceptible to being misguided with incorrect interpretation of Islam.”

Funny how there are so many of them, all with the same incorrect interpretation of Islam. How did Islam’s teachers and scholars lose control of the situation to the extent that there are whole movements of Muslims with supposedly “incorrect interpretations of Islam”?

“Online materials, sermons drew him into militancy,” by Mohammad Jamil Khan, Daily Star, March 9, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Foyzur Rahman, who attacked Prof Muhammed Zafar Iqbal on March 3, stepped into militancy listening to Jashimuddin Rahmani’s sermons and reading contents of “Dawahilallah”, said investigators yesterday.

“Dawahilallah” is a blog run by followers of Ansar Al Islam, formerly Ansarullah Bangla Team, and Rahmani, now in jail, is the chief of the militant outfit.

Foyzur was placed on a 10-day remand yesterday. He could not be produced before a court earlier as he was recovering from the mob beating that day….

Police officials said Foyzur’s uncles Abdul Jaher and Abdul Sadi and elder brother Abul Hassan, all living in Kuwait, were followers of salafism and they had motivated him since 2016….

Foyzur worked for “Moin Computers” and “Quran Sunnah Research Centre” of Sylhet and a number of his colleagues were followers of salafism, claimed investigators, adding that he wanted to marry off one of his sisters to his co-worker called Chamon, a salafist.

Chamon is on the run.

Police Headquarters and counterterrorism officials said most of the militant suspects they have so far arrested or had been killed during police action were salafists.

Md Moniruzzaman, additional deputy inspector general (intelligence and special) of Police Headquarter, told The Daily Star that salafists are ultra conservatives and are susceptible to being misguided with incorrect interpretation of Islam.

The suspect joined “Dawahilallah” and used to follow instructions from there, a high official of Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC), involved in the investigation, told The Daily Star.

Foyzur also followed Ansar Al Islam channels in messenger app Telegram, said official requesting anonymity, quoting the suspect during primary interrogation and technical evidence.

According to them, Foyzur downloaded all booklets and content on attack techniques from the blog.

Three months ago, he became a member of a Gym paying Tk 1,650 as one of the booklets said “jihadist should have a strong body”. He, however, stopped going to the gym but bought a particular knife from Al-Hamra market in Sylhet following a booklet, investigators claimed.

Foyzur during primary interrogation told detectives that after going through posts in “Dawahilallah”, he reached the conclusion that Prof Muhammed Zafar Iqbal was “an enemy of Islam” and that he had taken it upon himself to act as the professor lived close by….

On March 3, Foyzur went to Sylhet University of Science and Technology on a bicycle and played football on a campus pitch. While returning, he noticed a banner for a programme in which Prof Zafar Iqbal would be in, said investigators quoting Foyzur and analysing CCTV footage….

He made his way on to the stage and behind the professor and attacked him with the knife, CTTC officials said quoting Foyzur.

Foyzur allegedly told investigators that he had no regrets for the attack. “I was prepared for any result as I am working for Islam,” said investigators quoting Foyzur….

    WHERE DID ALL OF THEM get their supposedly INCORRECT UNDERSTANDING OF ISLAM?

    Clue for POLICE DETECTIVES:

    The Koran’s 164 Jihad Verses: K 002:178-179, 190-191, 193-194, 216-218, 244; 003:121-126, 140-143, 146, 152-158, 165-167,169, 172-173, 195; 004:071-072, 074-077, 084, 089-091, 094-095,100-104; 005:033, 035, 082; 008:001, 005, 007, 009-010, 012, 015-017, 039-048,057-060, 065-075; 009:005, 012-014, 016, 019-020, 024-026, 029,036, 038-039, 041, 044, 052, 073, 081, 083,086, 088, 092, 111, 120, 122-123; 016:110; 022:039, 058, 078; 024:053, 055; 025:052; 029:006, 069; 033:015, 018, 020, 023, 025-027, 050; 042:039; 047:004, 020, 035; 048:015-024; 049:015; 059:002, 005-008, 014; 060:009; 061:004, 011, 013; 063:004; 064:014; 066:009; 073:020; 076:008.

    This very fine article by Mohammad Jamil Khan shows that the writer is an ex-Muslim who knows Islam RATHER WELL.

    Congratulations to Khan on a well-informed, accurate and terse article which implies the VIGILANTISM contained in Sharia law.

    We read that Foyzur Rahman assumed that he should do something about the apostate on his own initiative. That is EXACTLY what Islam’s APOSTASY DOCTRINE and SHARIA LAW teach… namely, that any Muslims may KILL and ASSASSINATE an APOSTATE.

    Scary, boys and girls, but true and FACTUAL. Normative Islam.

    ………………………

    Isn’t it interesting how many “working for Islam” interpret that as bloodshed and murder?

    “working for Islam”…..does he mean working for the criminal gangster boss Mohammed who invented Islam?

    To become a martyr under Islam simply kill someone.
    To become a martyr under Christianity die to save someone.

    Why do so many Muslims from all around the world misunderstand the peaceful religion of Islam?

    Good question

    “I was prepared for any result as I am working for Islam,”

    How do you work for Islam?

    By committing a criminal act of violence?
