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

India: Muslim political party leader says “exploding bombs, attacking people is not Islam”

Mar 3, 2019 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

Owaisi seems to be a voice of reason and reconciliation among Muslims on the Indian subcontinent. The fact that he has to insist that “exploding bombs, attacking people is not Islam” and that Muslims should be loyal citizens of India is an indication of what Muslims in India are being taught. He will likely face a storm of protest from other Muslims over these remarks.

“Exploding bombs, attacking people is not Islam: Asaduddin Owaisi to Masood Azhar,” ANI, March 2, 2019:

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Saturday hit out at Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan for playing the nuclear and Muslim cards against India and denounced Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terror outfits, describing these as “demon” outfits.

Attacking Khan, he said the Pakistan Prime Minister makes “weird” comments in his country’s Parliament.“He (Khan) says we have atom bomb, etc. Do we not have those? We also have,” Owaisi said addressing a gathering in Hyderabad.

He also asked Khan to desist from playing the Muslim card to target India.“Muslims of this country know better. Handle your ‘Lashkar-e-Shaitaan’ (a reference to Lashkar-e-Taiba) and Jaish-e-Shaitaan (a reference to Jaish-e-Mohammad),” the Lok Sabha member said, in his message to the Pakistan Prime Minister.

The Muslim leader also denounced JeM chief Masood Azhar, saying he should not be called a “Maulana” but a “devil’s dog and butcher of humanity”.

“Exploding bombs, attacking people is not Islam,” the MP from Hyderabad said, adding “India’s enemies are our (Muslims’) enemies too.”

Owaisi also slammed Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi who said yesterday that Masood Azhar is in Pakistan but “too ill”.

“He (Qureshi) asked for evidence. What more evidence do they need? His organisation (Jaish-e-Mohammad) is banned,” he said.

Owaisi said Khan was also misrepresenting the role of Tipu Sultan and Bahadur Shah Zafar in his speeches.

“Tipu Sultan was never against Hindus but against the regimes, whosoever led those,” he said.

He expressed happiness over the return of Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, was in Pakistan’s captivity after his MiG-21 fighter plane was shot down on February 27.

The AIMIM chief also went on to add, “We praised the government over air strikes (on JeM camp in Balakot) in response to the Pulwama terror attack. But, now the Prime Minister (Narendra Modi) needs to answer, how the terrorists were able to procure explosives? How they got hold of American weapons? Why was there intelligence and diplomatic failures? ”

Addressing a gathering in Hyderabad on the occasion of 61st revival day of AIMIM, he said, “Sixty years ago, at this very place, Jinnah came. We didn’t accept Jinnah’s message. We said India is our country.Those who understood Islam, stayed in India while the ‘razakars’ (volunteers), who adhered to the message of Mohammad Ali Jinnah, went to Pakistan,” the AIMIM chief said….

    Asaduddin Owaisi understands the meaning of the Koran’s 164 jihad verse BETTER than Mohammed and his companions did.

    Asaduddin Owaisi knows much MORE than Islam’s ‘CONSENSUS’ of scholars who promoted and encouraged jihad for 1300 years before MODERN Indian writers REINTERPRETED Islam as the ‘religion of peace’.

    Asaduddin Owaisi is claiming that all Muslims up until 19th-century Indian REINTERPRETATION were COMPLETELY wrong about jihad.

    Jihad doesn’t mean ‘fighting to the death’ against the kafirs … no … it means co-exist with the kafirs in an egalitarian society like modern India. And stop calling them ‘kafirs’. Too insulting … an obstacle to inter-faith dialogue.

    One can ask him where did he learn his Islam. Oh he means only the use of knives and swords is Islamic and use of bombs is totally unislamic! LOL..

    “Owaisi seems to be a voice of reason and reconciliation among Muslims on the Indian subcontinent.”

    Yeah, except that he’s lying about Islam. That kinda puts a damper on his “reason” and “reconciliation”. I guess his taqiyya is good enough to fool Robert Spencer?

      Is he lying about Islam or is he lying to himself about Islam? Either could be the case. But in either case by clinging to a monstrous ideology, he makes himself complicit in that depravity.

    I certainly could be wrong but at this point, I doubt that Owaisi is lying about what he believes. I think it at least a bit more likely that he’s a well meaning man in deep, willful denial of Islam’s inherent nature.

    This typical Muslim understands Islam very well, HE IS JUST PLAYING THE DIRTY GAME “TAKYYA”.
    He knows that ALL these violence and extreme hate is the core of Islam.

    Asaduddin Owaisi seems to be an equivocal figure at best.

    He was against including the Ahmadi as Muslims in the Indian census. One of the noteworthy things about the Ahmadi is their rejection of violent Jihad.

    He was arrested and served jail time for assaulting a non-Muslim during a protest of the demolition of a Mosque during a road-widening project. His brother did the same.

    He also beat up a polling agent. He has other charges of violence and inciting violence.

    AIMIM is the All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (All India Council of the Union of Muslims). In 2007, elected and serving members of the party made threats against authors Tasleema Nasreen and Salman Rushdie for speaking hatred towards Islam, pledging fatwas against them. Nasreen was later assaulted by several AIMIM members.si

    Owaisi may indeed be more ‘moderate’ than many other Muslims in India–but that may well be damning with faint praise…
