“Idolaters, he added, ‘need to be slaughtered wherever you see them.’”
Where did he get that idea? “Kill them wherever you find them” (Qur’an 2:191, 4:89); “Kill the idolaters wherever you find them” (Qur’an 9:5).
“Sri Lankan Accused of Leading Attacks Preached Slaughter. Many Dismissed Him.,” by Hannah Beech, New York Times, April 25, 2019:
KATTANKUDY, Sri Lanka — Zaharan Hashim, a radical Muslim preacher accused of masterminding the Easter Sunday attacks on churches and hotels in Sri Lanka, never hid his hatred.
He railed against a local performance in which Muslim girls dared to dance. When a Muslim politician held a 50th birthday party, he raged about how Western infidel traditions were poisoning his hometown, Kattankudy.
There were, Mr. Zaharan said in one of his online sermons, three types of people: Muslims, those who had reached an accord with Muslims, and “people who need to be killed.”
Idolaters, he added, “need to be slaughtered wherever you see them.”
Mr. Zaharan has been described by Sri Lankan officials as having founded an obscure group with inchoate aims: a defacement of a Buddha statue, a diatribe against Sufi mystics.
But in his hometown, and later in the online world of radical Islam where his sermons were popular with a segment of Sri Lankan youth, it was clear for years that Mr. Zaharan’s hateful cadences were designed to lure a new generation of militants.
“He was influential, very attractive, very smart in his speeches, even though what he was saying about jihad was crazy,” said Marzook Ahamed Lebbe, a former Kattankudy politician and member of a local Islamic federation. “We all underestimated him. We never thought he would do what he said.”…
Muslims in Kattankudy said they had repeatedly contacted the police to warn that Mr. Zaharan was dangerous, but that the authorities played down the threat. Adding to questions about the government’s competence, the Sri Lankan authorities on Thursday vastly revised their earlier count of fatalities, saying that about 250 people had been killed as a result of the bombings, not 359.
One of the targeted churches — where more than 20 people were killed, many of them children — was in Batticaloa, a religiously mixed city just to the north of Kattankudy.
“I cannot digest this, even if it was done by my own brother,” said Madaniya, Mr. Zaharan’s sister, who lives in Kattankudy and who goes by one name. “I strongly condemn this.”
Growing up in Kattankudy, an oasis of Islam on a majority Buddhist island with significant Hindu and Christian minorities, Mr. Zaharan’s religiosity was unremarkable. Most houses here have a picture of Mecca on their wall, and road intersections are decorated with golden monuments in Arabic.
Mr. Zaharan and his brothers were sent by their father, a small-time seed and spice seller, to a madrasa, where teachings adhered to a strict interpretation of Islam. But even as he impressed with the fluency of his Quranic recitation and easily made friends, Mr. Zaharan confronted his teachers and accused them of failing to adhere to true Islam.
Like other Kattankudy youth lured by new overseas fashions, he had come under the spell of foreign preachers whose sermons were being passed around town by DVD, said M.B.M. Fahim, one of his classmates and now a lecturer at the same madrasa.
“He spread misinformation about us,” Mr. Fahim said. “He said the school should close because it was teaching the wrong way. He was just a student and he was saying like this.”
Mr. Zaharan was kicked out of school. He enrolled at another Islamic college but never graduated, his acquaintances said. Still, by listening to the sermons of charismatic but extremist preachers based in India and Malaysia, Mr. Zaharan was honing his oratory.
“He was a very good talker and a good researcher of how Islam was developing worldwide,” said M.L.M. Nassar, an administrator of a Kattankudy mosque federation.
Mr. Zaharan was unafraid of taking on the powerful, a rarity in a society bound by respect for those richer or older.
“He would criticize big shots, he would criticize anybody,” said Mr. Marzook, the former politician. “People were attracted to his lack of fear.”
After getting ejected from serving as imam of one mosque for his extremist views, Mr. Zaharan started a group in 2014 called National Thowheeth Jama’ath, which drew from the austere Wahhabi tradition that claims to follow the faith as practiced in the age of its founder, the Prophet Muhammad.
Mr. Zaharan preached that the Sri Lankan national flag was a worthless piece of cloth, and that the country should be ruled by Shariah law — an unlikely outcome in a country where only about 10 percent of the population is Muslim….
Still, an Islamic school dropout with an unlicensed mosque was gaining followers in Sri Lanka and beyond. Last year, Indian security officials investigating what they said was an Islamic State cell in southern India reported that one of the suspects they had arrested said he had been inspired to join the group after watching Mr. Zaharan’s videos.
But another of the ISIS suspects in southern India, Ashiq, 25, is out on bail and rejects the notion that Mr. Zaharan’s sermons were anything more than a guide to the Quran and Islamic law. “They preach that Islam is good,” he said. “What is wrong with that?”…

I have a question for you:
As seen in the video below, Jewish liberals in the West went to mosques and fraternized with Islamists after the N.Z mosque shooting or whenever muslims play their victim cards in the West. Now in Sri Lanka, hundreds of Christians lie dead and wounded in the Easter jihad attacks there and NO Jewish group went to church and/or expressed the same compassion and solidarity to Christians anywhere. Why is that?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHLWjvssAag
Joe@joemail.com says
What’s your explanation? I assume that there aren’t many Jews in Sri Lanka, so it could be as simple as that.
Olli Hekkala says
So lack of compassion and grieve may be same reason why Christians(JihadWatchers) were no on local Mosques after NZ attacks on Muslims. Nah, I just do not consider white supremacist eco fascists as my people and neither Muslims. So that was between them. As for liberal Jews, they see white supremacists as their primary enemy(Nazis) and they don’t take religion so seriously(as to connect Islamic terrorism against Jews to Islam.) We don’t except (misguided)Jews to show solidarity to Jesus worshipers and even (Torah)religious ones are not commanded to love their enemies, and I guess it *may* include you.
Olli Hekkala says
You got wrong video, I just realized.
Buraq says
@ Christian blood
The reason why no Jews were seen commiserating with the Christian community, so brutally attacked by Muslims obeying their savage god’s command in Al Qur’an to murder non-Muslims, is because the very few Jews that there were in Sri Lanka moved to Israel after 1948!

Abraham says
Liberals mostly believe in socialism in all its forms and in thousands of cases have teamed up with Islamists because they share a common interest in controlling the population through false narratives, name calling and especially labeling things like Islamaphobia which is an irrational fear of Islam.
This can not exist considering there have been over 45,000 terrorist attacks since 9/11. The Muslim Brotherhood and other groups associated with supporting Terrorism are the #1 threat to a world where only Islam and a theocracy will rule the earth.
It is the goal of Islam to continue their plan no matter what setbacks they find. Mohammed and their book Qur’an is believed to be the direct word of God and while there may be some Muslims who act as if their guide to life (Quran) is misunderstood, all Islamic scholars and non-muslims scholars agree to the violent nature and supremacy over all non-believers (Infidels). They are ordered to make all others second-class citizens and making constant demands for Islamic traditions while having no consideration for the people who must make sacrifices to meet such demands just like what is occurring in D.C. where the Islamic Congesswoman is want to force all restaurant to open at 4am to accommodate Ramadan.
Jews have similar traditions bc Mohammed in his quest to create a religion similar to the Jews and Christians so as to seem legitimate.
The difference is Jews, Christians and others never expect others to change their lives to accommodate them.
These accommodations are the begining of making all Infidels second-class citizens who change their behaviors to accommodate Muslims.
These are the early steps Islam takes before they reach a higher % of the population.
After every terrorist attack, Liberals focus on Islam as the real victims and spend 95% of their time speaking about why the “poor muslim” was simply misguided when in fact the Quran is very clear that all Male Muslims must be a warrior for God by eliminating Infidels or never being in God’s favor.

Not many Jews in Sri Lanka, true. The point is Jews in the West showed solidarity to muslims in the West after the New Zealand mosque shootings and they wouldn’t express that kind of solidarity to Christians anywhere after Sri Lanka jihadist attacks. The question is why? See the video below:

CRUSADER says
What a stuffed shirt, Mortimer!
Come down from your ivory tower!
So, we have this notions of Al Wala’ Wal Bara’….or AL WALA’ WAL BARA’ — per Mortimer.
(It is to love those who are obedient to Allah and to defend and assist them. Hating for the sake of Allah signifies showing anger towards those who oppose Allah His messenger, His deen, and the believers.) — By the way, somehow, Allah, an impersonal god, is a “He”… Not sure how that is, given the impersonal nature of the Islamic god.
Why, Mortimer, are you practicing a bit of this yourself, nearly condemning those who do not believe in your soft solutions of “De-Programing” and seeking those who condone it?
That’s like practicing “Al Wala’ Wal Bara’ ! You run on a similar ideological basis that you are so quick to wanting to convince others on to utilize in order to defeat others ideologically. You let your vitriol seethe; while you would embrace anyone who comes around to promote “De-Programming” because it’s your BIG THING!
Don’t you realize there are many solutions to this Islamist pest-control the West needs to enact?
Young rock-thrower “Son of Hamas” Mosab Hassan Yousef converted to Christianity and became an informant for Shin Bet. Terrific for him. Seems that he already had a Christian heart within him which he had to unveil, but he was hardly the dyed in the wool jihadist nor the Islamist thug who would rape and murder anyone he felt deserving it just because Islam is best. He became disgusted by the abuse and brutality of Hamas, and he turned coat. That’s hardly a hard-liner.
By the way, Joseph/Yousef came to realize this:
“Religion can’t save mankind. Only Jesus could save mankind through His death and resurrection. And Jesus is the only way to God.”
+ + +
See that Mortimer, from above post by Raja?
Note the specter of Re-Converting!!!
Enough of the experimentation, Mortimer.
De-Programming is hardly the panacea you make it out to be.
Perhaps DE-PROGRAMMING works on some. Some.
But there are many others who just need to be executed.
You keep bringing up the Nuremberg Trials. They HANGED the convicted, you know.
(They did not bring enough Nazis to justice!)
We need to extract the evil, Mortimer, and the line will have to get drawn when people wake up to how extreme things are getting. We have to face up to the harshness of reality!!! Times are only going to get tougher. Far tougher measures are in store for those times, than De-Programming.
Don’t worry, Mortimer, there’ll be a place for the convicted and executed to go:
they can spend time in eternal condemnation for their atrocious deeds.

Well said, Crusader. Some of us here are living in a fantasy world. We have simplisistic solutions like deprogramming, putting a moratarium on migration, sending jihadis back etc. Deprogramming can work if the muslim is willing to exercise his/her critical faculties. They can go on for years trying to rationalise islam before the truth suddenly dawns on them. However, the majority prefer to remain in the cult and whatever education, deprogramming etc does not seem to work. Also we need to ask ourselves the question: On whose side are the governments of nations like UK, Sweden, etc? These governments are continualy parroting the line that islam is ‘peaceful’. In other words propagating all the lies of islam. How in the world are you ever going to combat islam then in these countries?
Maybe a very aggresive form of deprogramming Chinese style might work. But as Crusader pointed out, the evil in their hearts due to the imprinting of their ideology needs to be replaced with something called love.

Islam can be so nasty even with 10% popular support. What we are seeing is similar to what is happening in many African states.

Where in the Bible do you find such an example.? Jesus in human form claimed equality with God and Mary was never revered in the Bible-not even as a prophetess or holy person…

Olli Hekkala says
I count it as an anger. You are right, it doesn’t help anything, not in intellectual battle or in real life threatening situation. I personally recognize Islams band stuff and haven’t really interested on the good stuff as I have no interest in any false religion of Angel of Light aka Satan. Repeating bad stuff and not recognizing good stuff has its purpose, heck it is “Jihad Watch”. But fact is also that there are pagans(Muslims) with good conscience as bible clearly states(Romans 2:14,15). Even on hard core Jihadists that can be manipulated to light. Of course they are not saved, but it is good thing. Then answer to question “Muslim takeover” must be addressed with some reasonable politics which takes account the whole ISLAM picture, and speaks truth publicly, know your enemy(Islam) and yourself(Jesus) and problem solved.

Here’s the deal, accept it or not. It does not always work to be nice to some people. You might be saying hello and have a good day while the other guy is sawing your neck into two or more pieces.
I don’t believe violence is a good thing and I wouldn’t just kill someone. I would to protect my family or even my own life if I could. Killing to keep myself alive wouldn’t be easy.
In looking at the Big Picture….most moslims are actively following the evil instructions from satan. Some…who knows how many, God knows how many… wish they could leave the cult without dying to do so. God can see their hearts and will do with them as He sees is Right.
He can also see the hearts of those who are evil and like it that way. He is going to destroy all evil on the earth…and in the close “heavens” above. And that includes Evil Humans…including Evil moslims. This will be a good thing for the rest of mankind…those who are not evil and want to live doing good things. It is a sign of God’s love for His children.
Want to call Almighty God a “fascist”? Well, I can’t stop you from calling me that, but I wouldn’t recommend calling our Creator by any kind of evil. It wouldn’t just be a lie, but one may suffer serious consequences for lying about Him.
I don’t know how familiar you are with the Bible….I know you are very familiar with the unholy book of islam…but Jesus said not to call anyone a “despicable fool” as it makes the caller ‘liable to the fiery Gehenna.”

Walter Sieruk says
First, It should be made clear that this Muslim cleric with all his malice and hate who incited and maybe schemed for that Easter, Sunday jihad mass murder attacks does ,indeed reflect that malice-filled main book of Islam , the Quran which instructs in violence and killing for the cause of Islam . As the Quran teaches in 47;4. “Whenever you encounter the disbelievers ,strike off their heads until you make a great slaughter among them.. ” The reality that using bombs as in those jihad attacks in Sri Lanka can and did made a greater “slaughter along them” than a sword can.
Second,the governmental investigation agency of Sri Lanka discovered the identities of the individual Muslim terrorists who engaged in those murderous jihad terror attacks on Easter Sunday in Sri Lanka and found that most of those violent and deadly jihadists were highly educated and came from middle class families. This is yet further proof that it’s not a lack of education or poverty that causes and incites some Muslim to become terrorists. It’s the religion of Islam which contains in its “holy book” ,the Quran, instruction for violence and killing for the advancement of Islam. As in, for example 2: 191, 5: 33. 9: 5, 111,112.
Walter Sieruk says
The awful but Quran based Muslim cleric who preached ,incited and schemed for those vicious and murderous Islamic terror attacks against those people of Sri Lanka is a demonic and evil man.
Many of those jihadists suicide/homicide bombers were so thoroughly deluded by Islamic deception that they, must of , actually thought that ,in the murderous jihad violence , that they were doing a “ good action”
The Bible puts terrible shame on individuals who are so confused and deluded that they “call evil good and good evil…” Isaiah 5:20.
As for jihad suicide/homicide bombing attackers of Sri Lanka, and other jihadists likes them are the outcome of the Islamic doctrine from the Qu‘’ran [the Koran] of a sexual paradise with many virgins, houris , in it for the male Muslim /jihadist who dies fighting in the jihad for the cause of Islam is found in the “holy book” of Islam, the Koran, in Sura 44:54. 55: 56. 78:31. Also there is the Koranic instruction of Sura 9:111 which teaches “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, they kill and are killed.” Getting back to the origin doctrine of Islam from the Koran of a sex –filled paradise with many houris for the use only by the male jihadist who dies fight for the advancement of Islam. All this started when the founder and prophet of Islam, Muhammad manufactured Islam he put , had stolen, some of sex doctrine of Zoroastrian mythology and a yet smaller bit of Hindu mythological sex teachings along with as well as mixture pagan Arabian folklore and myth plus a heavy dose of Judaism and Christianity . Also some of it apostate “Christianity” For the prophet of Islam, Muhammad, couldn’t discern the difference between genuine Bible based Christianity and bogus “Christianity.” Those words and teaching Muhammad gathered from many sources, including the virgins /sex place mythology. , and taught as “Divine Truth” were written down on many things then later compiled and then went into the composition of the Koran. So the hoax of the Koran is actually a mixture and fusion Judaism Christianity and mythology of other religions and now the Muslim clerics with the Koranic brainwashing of young Muslims who are thoroughly mind programmed into believing this Islamic/Koranic virgins myth. This deception of false doctrine /myth into the thoughts of some people was predicted in the Bible along with the false teachers who engage in the indoctrination of such a myth /doctrine into the minds and hearts other people . For it is written “For the time will come when they will not stand wholesome teaching, but will follow their own fancy and gather a crown of teachers to tickle their ears. They will stop their ears to the truth and turn to mythology.” Second Timothy 4:3,4. [N.E.B.]

Carl Goldberg, PhD says
“…a madrasa, where teachings adhered to a strict interpretation of Islam.”
Surely, you mean a strict application of Islam or adherence to Islam rather than a strict “interpretation” of Islam. If the Koran commands Moslems to kill non-Moslems, there is no other way to “interpret it” than what it actually says. If Moslems follow those commands, they are following Islam strictly, not interpreting it strictly. If they do not follow those commands, they are simply not following Islam strictly, but they are not interpreting Islam moderately.

i completely understand that journalists *always* have a perspective, and will *always* have an opinion about *every* story they write; this holds true regardless of the political leanings of the writer, and always will, so long as we remain human. what i deeply resent is when these folks pretend to be unbiased; he who is unbiased is either impossibly naive or *dead*. tell me your politics, and only then tell me your story; otherwise, i will consider U a lying propagandist and dismiss U and your story entirely. and if U leave out evidence, especially that of which i am already aware, as ms. beech has, exposing either your contempt for me or your breathtaking ignorance and incompetence (and the incompetence of your employer, who *published* your propaganda/fairy tale), U will earn a special place on my list of liars whom i will never trust.
