Jihad Watch

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

Pakistan: Government minister says “Jihad is a duty in Islam. Those who avoid jihad are not Muslims.”

Mar 1, 2019 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Rasheed Ahmad is Pakistan’s Federal Minister for Railways. He wasn’t talking about an interior spiritual struggle, as he refers here to Farooq and Geelani, who are leaders of violent jihad groups. But surely that most learned of imams, Pope Francis, is on his way to Pakistan now in order to explain to Ahmad how “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Qur’an reject every form of violence.”

In any case, this open support for jihadis from a Pakistani government minister ought to be a wake-up call for those who still think the U.S. alliance with Pakistan is viable and worth preserving. But it won’t be.

“Shocking: Pak minister talks of jihad and Kashmir,” TNN, March 1, 2019 (thanks to K.):

In yet another shocker for a Pakistani minister, Sheikh Rasheed Ahmad praised terrorism, saying “jihad is a duy [sic] in Islam”. While speaking in Pakistan’s Parliament, Ahmad said, “Those who avoid jihad are not Muslims.” “I have good relations with Mirwaiz Mohammad Umar Farooq and Syed Ali Shah Geelani. I am known to the young boys too and Burhan Muzaffar Wani is their leader,” he said in a video footage. A few days back, he dared India after India decimated JeM terror camps in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir.

    Austria: Catholic Auxiliary Bishop compares Koran to Hitler’s ” Mein Kampf” (My Fight)+++
    In an interview with the well-known critic of Islam, Michael Stürzenberger, the emeritus Auxiliary Bishop Andreas Laun from Salzburg talked about Islam in plain language, words that millions of Catholic believers now sadly lack from many other bishops, especially Pope Francis. This also led him to a comparison that will certainly cause a stir.Andreas Laun was Auxiliary Bishop of Salzburg from 1995-2017 until he retired at his own request. In an interview with Michael Stürzenberger of PI-NEWS he strongly criticized Islam at the conference “Islamic Anti-Semitism” on 13th of February 2019 in Vienna. For many decades Laun has been known for defending Catholic doctrine vigorously and without compromise against the zeitgeist if necessary.He compared the Koran with Hitler’s ” Mein Kampf ” and the faked ” Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion “.He compared the Koran with Hitler’s ” Mein Kampf ” and the faked ” Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion “. If one were to cross the border with the latter two books, there would be a threat of arrest for National Socialist reasons, but not in the case of the first book. In view of the content of the Koran, this was very surprising, especially since Muslims at that time had also sent troops to Hitler.

        In the United States it is Protestant white males and Roman Catholic white males who are the best informed about jihad. The other groups are uninformed to clueless and globalist lackeys.

    Pakistan’s Minister of Railways Rasheed Ahmad is Islamicly correct.

    Jihad is an ESSENTIAL requirement of Islamic practice. Muslims who do not practice jihad are called ‘garbage’ by Mohammed himself.

    According to Mohammed, the original Islam is jihad.

    “Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar:
    I heard the Apostle of Allah say: When you enter into the inah transaction (become businessmen), hold the tails of oxen (become cattlemen), are pleased with agriculture (become farmers), and give up conducting jihad, Allah will make disgrace prevail over you, and will not withdraw it until you return to your original religion.” – Sunan Abu Dawud Book 23, Number 3455

    Conducting jihad is the ‘original religion’ of Mohammed. Mohammed is the authority on Islam.

    Mohammed insults non-jihadist Muslims … they are ‘garbage’:

    “Prophet Muhammad said; It is expected that the nations will call other nations to share them against you (Muslims) as the eaters call each other to eat from the food in front of them in a large wooden plate A person asked, Will that happen because of our small number on that day? The Prophet said, No. Your number will be great, but you will be rubbish like the rubbish of flood-water. And certainly Allah will remove from the hearts of enemies the fear of you and surely Allah will throw Wahn in your hearts. A person asked, What is Wahn, O Messenger of Allah? The Prophet said, Wahn is to love this world and to hate death.” – Abu Dawud 4284

    This statement by that Muslim government minister, on Pakistan which is “Jihad is a duty of Islam .Those avoid jihad are not Muslims’” At least Rasheed Ahman is being honest , for a the above article informed the reader he wasn’t speaking about some kind of “inward struggle’ but real Muslim engaging in the jihad which is the brutal violence and killing of for the cause of Islam

    Therefore this is a very appropriate time to reiterate a very important message

    As the word “Islamism” is a fake word that used that was made up after September 11, 2001 in order offend or upset non-violent Muslims. The real, actual, word is just “Islam.” Likewise, the world “Islamist” is also a bogus word that was made up after 9/11 in order not to offend or upset peaceful Muslims. To keep with reality, terms should better be used as “Islamic terrorist” or “Muslim terrorist” . Let’s call people and thing as the really are.

    Furthermore, the terms “Radical Muslim” and “Islamic extremist” is actually a misuse of terms. “Moderate Muslim” are actually Western term and not that well known in the Islamic Middle East. This is because what In the Islamic mindset in the Muslim Middle East as well as in Indonesia and other Muslim controlled countries what the non-Muslims of the Western nations view as “radical and “extremist” the Muslims of those places in the world see as “Normal” and even Devout and committed to the Cause of Islam”. Likewise they view those who Westerns see as “Moderate Muslims” those of the Islamic worldview and non-devout and non –committed Muslims. The violent jihadists even see them as “hypocrites.” Therefore, this explains the jihadist chant of those jihad-minded Muslims in different Islamic terror organizations. When they chant out loud “Death to infidels and hypocrites.” Meaning Death to people who and not Muslims and people who are non- jihadist Muslims.

    Concerning the last part of this above essay, the violent sprit of that vicious jihadist chant “Death to infidels and hypocrites.” The later word of the chant “hypocrites” in the jihad –minded Muslim worldview is further explain in the book titled JIHADIST PSYCHOPATH by Jamie Glazov , for on page 42 the reader is informed that “Islam mandates that devout and real Muslims must punish , and in some circumstances kill, those Muslims whom they regard as neither legitimate nor properly devout.”

      So….after all those definitions got debunked just now, how would you label a “Muslim” such as Irshad Manji?

      • gravenimage says

        Mar 2, 2019 at 10:40 pm

        Irshad Manji is anything but an orthodox Muslim.

    As a patriotic Indian, I LOVED IT.. only because this clown has admitted the DNA of his ideo and not only that .. he has vindicated India’s stand viz a viz Pakistan and its endless problem with regards to Kashmir. Thank God that this admission came from a Muslim himself. And now I ask, … now that the likes of Robert Spencer, Dr Bill Warner, David Woods have been vindicated.. what are the leaders of the civilized world going to do about it?? And that idiotic dhimmi of a Pope and how he compromises his own faithfuls…!!! VOW!!!

      Muslims only use Taqiyya when they are scared of Infidels knowing the truth. When they are emboldened, they don’t bother.

    Islam is like a bomb. Some people think that it will be enough to remove the “fuse” of jihad to make it harmless. But it will always remain a bomb. And there really is no way to remove jihad from islam.

      What a great illustrative story about a such a sort of

      is the BBC production of “Dirty War”…movie from 2004 about London in crisis….

      Worth watching…. Very chilling…. and realistic in approach.

      Such dramas and visuals will certainly wake a person up to the extreme hazards involved.

    Like everywhere in the Muslim community the ones advocating jihad, including Rasheed Ahmad Pakistan’s Federal Minister for Railways and various Imams around,they are the last one to do it themselves.There would like other to do it but will not do it themselves.

    Yes,Rasheed Ahmad wasn’t talking about an internal spiritual struggle.

    It should be a wake up call to India too but it will not be.
