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

India: Huge weapons cache seized; jihadis led by Islamic law expert plotted massacres at government offices

Dec 26, 2018 11:33 am By Robert Spencer

“Those arrested include the alleged mastermind, 29-year-old Mohammed Sohail, a ‘mufti’, or a Muslim legal expert empowered to give rulings on religious matters.”

How did Mohammed Sohail misunderstand the Qur’an’s teachings of peace? We can only hope that most learned of imams, Pope Francis, is on his way to Delhi now in order to explain to Sohail that authentic Islam and the proper understanding of the Qur’an reject every form of violence.

“Desi rocket launcher, explosives recovered from ISIS-style ‘jihadi’ module,” Times of India, December 26, 2018:

NEW DELHI: A country-made rocket launcher, 12 pistols, 100 alarm clocks, 100 mobile phones, 135 SIM cards and laptops were among the other things recovered by the National Investigation Agency after busting an ISIS-inspired terror module on Wednesday.

Inspector General of Police (NIA) Alok Mittal said the module was planning attacks on important political and security offices in Delhi.

The agency said the “highly-radicalised module” was completely self-funded and no criminal antecedent of its members had surfaced so far.

“It was a self-funded group. They stole gold ornaments from their homes and sold it to fund their activities. They were planning to detonate a remote-controlled bomb or a fidayeen kind of attack,” Mittal said.

Mittal said that questioning of those nabbed would reveal vital information about the module, their plans and handlers.

The arrested suspects also tried to make bullet-proof fidayeen vest. It was recovered from Amroha.

Those arrested include the alleged mastermind, 29-year-old Mohammed Sohail, a ‘mufti’, or a Muslim legal expert empowered to give rulings on religious matters, from Amroha in western Uttar Pradesh, an engineering student of a private university in Noida and a third-year graduation student in humanities as well as two welders, he said.

Mittal added that the agency found a video where Sohail is demonstrating how to complete a bomb circuit.

During the searches, conducted across 17 locations, the agency recovered a huge cache of handmade weapons, including a yet to be tested rocket launcher, material for suicide vests, 12 locally made pistols, hundreds of live rounds of bullets, 100 mobiles and 135 SIM cards, he disclosed.

The agency also recovered Rs 7.5 lakh in cash and 25 kilograms of bomb making ingredients – potassium nitrate, potassium chlorate, sugar paste and sulphur.

Giving details of the initial investigation by the agency, Mittal said the suspects had done a reconnaissance of vital government installations and planned to target political personalities and other important people.

“The level of preparation showed they were planning to carry out fidayeen attacks in near future,” he said….

    And to think that they got Pakistan off our lands in 1947 and these beasts are not still satisfied. Unfortunately, the same thing is in store for the Greater West too, now that these creatures have wormed themselves in..

        Jesuit are renowned master torturists -I think Turdeau is of Jesuit origins.

        Why would Prime Minister Tardeau select a member of the bloody umma as Minister of Immigration? Members of Umma respect no borders or Laws except so-called “shariaLaw”
        The Minister of Defense is Sikh – are peoples of Canada not supposed to leave home unarmed? Is this the message? Or is everyone in Canada expected to be a Sant-Sipahi (Saintly Police Officer)? Peoples without proper weapons training or permits cannot walk around fully armed – and bringing a knife to a gunfight is just stupid. Why RCMP hired Moslem females – moslems renowned Liars – this is bad for advancement of actual Justice.
        The famous meme floating around the internet that we are living in an age when doctors create disease and lawyers perpetuate injustice makes a lot of sense.
        Over at Hinduhumanrights.info I learned that adding xtianty to Pagan Germanic Lands created “schizophrenia” – adding the diabolically deadly creed of izlam will lead to slavery and eventual Genocide of NonMoslems – first target is AryaDharmics of Greater Historical India – next targets are the “saturday and sunday people” – please note that Moslems are world class Liars – so it is exceedingly difficult to decipher words uttered by moslems and their criminally oriented supporters.

    I guess they forgot about the 72 virgins…

    Mohammed Sohail is a ‘mufti’, a competent interpreter of Sharia law.

    He teaches ordinary Muslims Islam’s INDIVIDUAL DUTY to conduct jihad and the UNIVERSAL DUTY for all Muslims to hate the dirty kufaar ‘for the sake of Allah’.

    If Jihad Watch readers do not understand AL WALAA WAL BARAA, they will not be able explain Islam to people and educate them about the absence of the Golden Rule in Islam.

    Islam’s motive to subjugate and enslave kafirs is HATRED ‘for the sake of Allah’ who hates all kafirs.

    Islamic law expert / terrorist mastermind or terrorist mastermind / islamic law expert?

    Tough choice.

    So typical of these muslim cockroaches! Bite the hand that feeds you. They are never loyal to any country and they have perfected victimhood to an art. Along the way, they have enough “useful idiots” to support them.
