What? An imam? How could a man who has dedicated his life to understanding Islam properly and communicating it effectively get the idea that the Islamic State had anything to do with Islam? Surely Pope Francis is on his way to Kabul now, so as to explain to Abu Obaidullah Mutawakil that authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Qur’an reject every form of violence.
“Kabul imam accused of recruiting hundreds into IS arrested,” 1TV News, February 9, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Afghanistan’s intelligence agency said on Saturday it had arrested an imam in capital Kabul for recruitment of fighters into Islamic State terrorist group.
Abu Obaidullah Mutawakil, imam of Sheikh Mohammadi Ha Rohani and a university lecturer, was arrested by special forces of the National Directorate of Security from Police District 5 of the city, the agency said in a statement.
He had secretly recruited hundreds of educated youths into IS before sending them to eastern Nangarhar, a stronghold for the group.
Sixteen of his pupils were members of IS, who were arrested from different parts of Kabul for terrorist and anti-government activities, the statement said.
The cleric’s son, Ahmadullah, joined IS last year and is involved in terrorist activities in Nangarhar province, according to the statement….

Afghanistan: Imam accused of recruiting hundreds into the Islamic State
………………
This should surprise no one.

Recruiting for jihad is a PART of a mullah’s JOB DESCRIPTION.

True, Mortimer.

”He had secretly recruited hundreds of educated youths into IS …”
No, no, that can’t be right. The Pope and the Grand Sheik *both* tell us that islamic ‘terrorism’ (actually koranically mandated jihad) is all down to not interpreting the texts properly, and *poverty*, so these ”educated youths” definitely weren’t joining IS !

As Robert posed, “How could a man who has dedicated his life to understanding Islam properly and communicating it effectively get the idea that the Islamic State had anything to do with Islam?”
Indeed, indeed; how, could it be even remotely possible, that the “cleric’s son, Ahmadullah, joined IS last year and is involved in terrorist activities in Nangarhar province, according to the statement,” given, the peacefulness, kindness, forbearance on all advocated, inculcated, in the orthodox text of Islam?
How…
roberta says
As stupid as this imam appears, just imagine how stupid his followers (may they soon rest in hell) must be.
He looks like a drunk Carnival Barker. I apologize in advance to any Carneez reading JW.
Georg says
Maybe this learned man knows the mosque employee who just murdered the beautiful Jewish girl in Israel.

Robert,
Following my comment suggesting Jihad Watch compiles a list of all the times a convert to Islam has decided to commit or fund an act of violence, I think the same needs to be done for this. It would be a powerful message to compile a list of all the times this blog has documented when an imam has been involved in violence / terrorism etc.
mortimer says
Simon, good idea … so you go through the articles and do that. Start typing. Many of us have created such lists.
roberta says
Its work enough just keeping up with their current violence.
I really wonder if since the inception of islam, has the sun ever set without an act of violence having occurred in its name? I doubt it.

Simon, here is the Jihad Watch category of converts that vicious creed:

Not a complete list, I’m sure–but more than enough to show how converts to Islam usually show their piety…
Max says
Pope Francis is on his way to Kabul now.
Is he going there to be officially declared an Imam?

“Surely Francis is on his way to Kabul now”
Oh I doubt it:Jorge and Ahmed,the Holy Joe and the Holy Yusuf, are still on honeymoon.The Lovebirds must be allowed to smooch and cuddle and slobber over each other.
Any day now we should be seeing their newborn offspring:Chrislam…”Son of the NewWorldReligion”:Jorge and Ahmed invite you to the ceremony…
Jorge and {“my brother the Grand Imam of al-azhar”},Ahmed, are certainly a Love item.
Such LOVE!
A shame such love is not shown to fellow or persecuted Catholics and Christians by the dissembling Jesuit master of sophistry,Smiley Joe Bergoglio.But then Jorge is on record as saying muslims believe in the same God as Christians{Nope:the koran CURSES Christians for believing in Jesus koran 9:30,allah falsely claims he gave Jesus the Gospel k5:46-an OBVIOUS LIE, as Jesus NEVER had the Gospel in His possession,completely misunderstands the Theology of the Trinity(-Christians are NOT polytheists,God is not divided into parts,God does not have companions and LUDICROUSLY-Mary is NOT part of the Trinity) and denies Jesus was even Crucified k4:157 negating the whole point of the Gospel…oh and The Infant Jesus was an arabic-speaking muslim who could TALK LIKE AN ADULT WHILST STILL IN THE CRADLE k19:29-30and yes ,He had a copy of the Gospel…IN THE CRADLE}
Jorge the Jesuit would surely know all that as Jesuits spend years studying Theology:so what he is doing is proving he is FALSE.
allah the “best of deceivers” k3:54 is NOT the Christian God.
Fraudulent Frank’s tweets are always good for a laugh:-
“If we practice seeing with the eyes of Jesus,we will always be able to recognise those in need”@Ponifex
Aw shucks!
What a sweetheart is Jorge!Maybe he should follow his own advice and PRACTICE
seeing with the eyes of Jesus:the empty Catholic Churches,the scattered flock shocked by the moral bankruptcy of the RCC Administrators,the persecuted Christians…
If only he would PRACTICE seeing with his own eyes and hearing with his ears.
Maybe he should PRACTICE imagining the outrage of catholics, outraged and disgusted by his promotion and lying about Cardinal Mc Carrick,his heretical teachings and constant undermining of catholicism
“cardinal mcWho?whah?….” sez francis,”the listening pope of the listening church”
He needs to start to PRACTICE what he preaches but he won’t because he is a false shepherd.
That should be pretty obvious by now:St Francis of Assisi had a famous catholic prophecy that a false pope{“the destroyer”}would come to power:Why?So God can separate the Faithful{who will strive to keep their faith}from the Unfaithful{who will happily go along with all these errors from Rome}
