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

Sri Lanka: authorities seek prominent chief Islamic cleric who justified Easter church bombings in internet broadcast

Apr 28, 2019 10:35 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Authorities in Sri Lanka are searching for a Chief Islamic Cleric “of Vavuniya and Chettikulam divisional mosques” who released an internet video “justifying the Easter bomb attacks”. The cleric reportedly “cited an example from the life of Muhammad to justify the attack”. The global war on terror is rooted in Islamic doctrine. It is a core motivator. The cleric like scores of others recognizes it and preaches it.

Kill them wherever you find them” (Qur’an 2:191, 4:89); “Kill the idolaters wherever you find them. (Qur’an 9:5)

The jihad attack on the churches that killed almost 300 people and injured hundreds of others “is said to have close ties to National Tawheed Jamaat, the Islamic terror organisation suspected to be behind the Easter Sunday bombings.”

While Sri Lankan authorities are busy protecting mosques with thousands of army personnel for fear of retaliatory violence,  authorities have shut down churches. Sri Lanka is being anything but effective in dealing with its jihad threat, demonstrating that it is not only ill-equipped to protect citizens against it, but has little will to do so.  Sri Lanka was warned in advance about the church bombings by intelligence officials from India and failed to act on those warnings to protect the churches. The Sri Lankan archbishop Malcolm Ranjith also took Muslim envoys from jihad sponsoring states at their word who assured him that the jihad bombings had “no connection to Islam.”

“SL Police Launch Operation To Arrest Islamic Cleric Munajit Who Released A Video Clip Justifying Easter Terror Attack”, Swarajya Mag (Thanks to The Religion of Peace), April 26 2019:

A search operation has been launched to arrest a Maulvi (Chief Islamic Cleric) of Vavuniya and Chettikulam divisional mosques who had released a eight-minute long video clip via internet justifying the Easter bomb attacks on Sunday, Sri Lanka Mirror reported.

Vavuniya police announced that they plan to arrest the Maulvi for justifying the dastardly terror attack.

When as ISIS had claimed the responsibility of this attack, the Tamil speaking Maulvi Munajit, who wields considerable influence in Vavuniya region and has a significant social media footprint, released an incendiary video. Maulvi Munajit is said to have close ties to National Tawheed Jamaat, the Islamic terror organisation suspected to be behind the Easter Sunday bombings.

In the video, after a cursory mention about the victims, Maulvi Munajit cites an example from the life of Muhammed to justify the terror attack. Maulvi is heard saying that the attack is a consequence of Muslims losing their patience. He cites the example of Mohammed who kept quiet for the first 13 years of Islam despite intense persecution from Quraysh people but then launched the battle of Badr. Maulvi also had said in the video that to build an Islamic state is just thing and the struggle has just commenced for that….

      My initial thought is that this dude observes Ramadan every effing day. Skips lunch but stuffs his every orifice to the gills pre-dawn and post-dusk.

      You know that occasional time when you feel nauseous but can’t quite puke it up?

      Imagine this dude naked…

    It’s a bit like the Pope justifying the Christchurch murders by saying it’s exactly what Jesus would have done. Inconceivable. There really is a major qualitative difference between world regions, and Islam is the stark outlier. This does make one think that Aung San Suu Kyi deserves an apology. People of other cultures and religions really are fighting for their children’s lives. I keep waiting for one of these muftis or Islamic scholars to speak up against murdering people for their beliefs or against killing children for the beliefs of their parents. It just seems too difficult for anyone to grasp the problem, or to even see that there is a problem. I’m an atheist, but I have no issues with any religion or God, until that God starts telling his believers to murder me and my family.

      This does make one think that Aung San Suu Kyi deserves an apology.
      —
      of *COURSE* she deserves an apology!!! in the 1930s, people thought that if they kept kissing hitler’s a** often and long enough, he would stop; he only stopped when he was crushed (and i’m still not convinced that he didn’t live out his natural life someplace other than europe). the refusal of the people of the 1930s to believe what was happening was an unfortunate inability to recognize the appalling depths of depravity to which humans can sink, but what we are witnessing now is *FAR* worse. we are watching the left “honor” black people, brown people, LGBTQx people, women, and children here in the west, but allow those *VERY SAME PEOPLE* to be murdered just because they don’t want to bother translating what muslims say among themselves into european languages. this isn’t laziness; it is an evil betrayal by a depraved leftist ideology that deprives our young of an education, teaches them to hate freedom and physically attack and abuse those with whom they disagree, all in an effort to seize total power so that all “enemies” of the state may be conveniently killed here at home.

      the buddhists in myanmar, the hindus in india, the christians everywhere, and in fact, any non-muslim kuffar anywhere, is in danger, all because of the treason committed by the left. my first impulse, should God allow civilized people (as opposed to leftists and muslims) to win the coming civil wars, would be to kill all the leftists and muslims who could be caught. i am not willing to give that kind of power to the State, however, so imprisonment for life will have to do. my second impulse would be to imprison these monsters in solitary confinement, without a single word spoken to them, for the rest of their lives, but that is cruel and unusual punishment, even though it is richly deserved, because it would likely induce insanity (again, *RICHLY* deserved punishment for mass murderers).

      i fear that the question won’t even come up, however, because i don’t think that civilization is going to survive. most civilized people today have only an ephemeral moral basis for their lives. when each person governs himself by the golden rule, there is little need for complex law or large numbers of law enforcement personnel. take a look around yourself. how many people do U see living by the golden rule, and how many people do U see who want the gold instead? when everybody is looking out for number 1, there people will start looking for ways around the law, “pushing the envelope,” so to speak. i’m willing to bet that large numbers of people may struggle against leftist control, and then islamic control, for a while, but few of them will stand up for their principles to the point of death, when given an easy out by simply saying the shahada. in 200 years, civilization will be a dim memory of the greatly-reduced in number islamic peasantry of the world; in 500 years, there will no memory at all, and only ruins (and billions of graves) all over the planet. eventually, freedom may rise again, but it won’t come from islam.

      and at some point, long before the civil wars are over, i fully expect to be murdered by a monster, either a leftist or pious muslim. i hope to leave a copper-jacketed slug in the brains of at least a few of my attackers, but i’m not betting on it, because both are cowards who would rather attack even old men, women, and children in surprise attacks.

    In the meantime, US is transferring its failed ISIS/Al-Qaeda jihadist proxies from Syria to Eastern Ukraine to start new violent jihad against Russian-speaking Ukrainians in the Donbass region. You wonder why no one is reporting this! More of this below:

      Note that christianblood has nothing critical to say about this vicious Islamic cleric–but then, he has been asked a dozen times at this point to condemn the Jihadists in Sri Lanka, and he has said nothing.

      As for that thing from RT, note that the truth is that Chechen Jihadists are fighting on both sides:

      “Why Chechens Are Fighting Chechens in Ukraine’s Civil War”

      http://time.com/3893066/chechens-ukraine-war/

      Either way, they get to kill a lot of Infidels.

      The odd thing is that christianblood has enthusiastically endorsed Chechnya and its imposition of Shari’ah law–including “Honor Killings”, murdering gays, and forced Hijab. He has even made light of persecution of Christians there.

      And the RT article itself is written by the appalling George Galloway. He is savagely pro-Islam, and there is evidence that he has converted to Islam himself. He stated at a March 2012 rally “We stand for justice and haqq” and “A Muslim is somebody who is not afraid of earthly power but who fears only the Judgment Day. I’m ready for that, I’m working for that and it’s the only thing I fear”.

      He also hates Israel–one of the bizarre claims he makes in this article is that Israel has embraced Hamas.

      That christianblood is now flogging this Islamophilic thug’s work is pretty disturbing–but not really surprising at this point.

It has an Islamic ideological root so stop being insulting to Africans for their appearance and color!

          No, Ravi is an Anti-Jihadist who posts regularly here at Jihad Watch. Why would christianblood consider him to be a “a murderous Islamic extremist” for insulting this vicious Jihadist Islamic cleric? Really, this makes no sense.

    The Muslin chief cleric is most like many other imams and mullahs in many ways .Two of the ways he is similar to those other Muslim clerics in endorse ,incite and encourage other Muslims to engage in the murderous violence of the jihad yet are to cowardly to act out in the violent jihad themselves, is that go by the false premise that they are “godly men” and “holy men” and many of them even say they “respect the Bible, not nearly as much as the love the Qu ‘ran yet, nevertheless, they do claim to “respect the Bible ” Well this a some weird type of “respect ” for the Bible instructs “You shall not murder” Exodus 20:13. [N.K.J.V.] So those Muslim clerics don’t really care what the Bible teaches because they manipulate other Muslims to murder for them .As seen in those heinous and murderous jihad attacks in Sri Lanka where many Catholics were murdered by Muslim terrorists.

    Those sly and insidiously deceptive imams and mullahs , with their methods of mind control as well as their lines and lies .As “We will honor you” and “You will go to paradise “ and “We are doing this for Allah.” That’s some very strand kind of “We.” For the reader to should well understand the same Muslim clerics who brainwash other people and then send them out to commit a murderous jihad attack are never, ever the one who do in themselves. They brainwash and just brainwash and manipulate into carrying out those evil and deadly actions. All the while the mass murders are going on those same Muslim clerics sit home safe. This alone show what totally despicable cowardly villains those kind of Muslim clerics actually are. The Bible informs its reader that “The counsels of the wicked are deceitful.” Proverbs 12:5.

    It’s a “thing” alright, but not “just” in the least. His video and his photo should be sent pronto to the popeo.

    No, but rather the NZ mosque massacres were the ones that were justified, and all others like them!
    Because… they are full of evil people like this imam!
    And that is the simple truth.

    It is the Christians and the rest of the world who is losing patience… with the muslims.
    There is no justification for hurting Christians in any way.
    No one was bothering the muslims there or mostly anywhere.
    The NZ event was truly a lone wolf attack, and not by a Christian.
    Christians don’t do this stuff, but sometimes God’s justice… just falls.
    Our God is greatest!!! (Of the Christian Bible).

      Lydia, there is no doubt — for those who study the fullness of Christianity
      and its fulfillment — that Christ is the representation and imprint of the Godhead —
      which itself is GREATER than anything. Christ is the answer to all, everything, anything.

    He is likely hiding under a rock or a spider-hole. Nope, he was handed asylum is the EU or the once Great Britain where the preaching of Jew and Christian-Hatred are deemed legitimate, not hate speech or crimes. Don’t, however, utter a criticism of Islamists advocating the murder or mayhem upon the non-Muslim community.

    We all know the consequences suffered by Tommy Robinson and others.

  19. Shalom says

    Why isn’t his comment “Maulvi is heard saying that the attack is a consequence of Muslims losing their patience. He cites the example of Mohammed who kept quiet for the first 13 years of Islam“ in all the newspapers.
    This makes me shake with rage.
