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

Muslim cleric says jihad is now “mandatory” against India over Jammu and Kashmir

Aug 20, 2019 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

He doesn’t mean an interior spiritual struggle, either. All the schools of Islamic jurisprudence agree that when a non-Muslim force enters a Muslim land, defensive jihad becomes the individual obligation of every Muslim (fard ayn) rather than a collective obligation of the entire umma, and need not be declared by anyone. Bulghah al-Salik li-Aqrab al-Masalik fi madhhab al-Imam Malik (“The Sufficiency of the Traveller on the Best Path in the School of Imam Malik,”) says this: “Jihad in the Path of Allah, to raise the word of Allah, is fard kifayah [obligatory on the community] once a year, so that if some perform it, the obligation falls from the rest. It becomes fard ayn [obligatory on every Muslim individually], like salah and fasting, if the legitimate Muslim Imam declares it so, or if there is an attack by the enemy on an area of people.”

A non-Muslim force has not entered Muslim land. All that happened was that the Indian government canceled Kashmir’s special status. But as far as Maulana Abdul Aziz is concerned, that is tantamount to an invasion of Muslim land, and so jihad violence is now mandatory. Looking at the recent history of Jammu and Kashmir, it is clear that many Muslims already thought jihad violence was mandatory there. But jihadis, like the Qur’an itself, have never shied away from repetition.

“WAR OF WORDS Kashmir war fears grow as Pakistan cleric close to Osama bin Laden tells followers to wage jihad against India,” by Jon Lockett, The Sun, August 9, 2019:

A FIREBRAND cleric with links to Osama bin Laden has called on Islamic militants to wage war against Indian troops in Kashmir.

Outspoken Maulana Abdul Aziz has declared that jihad is now “mandatory” in the hotly-disputed region.

Speaking to The Times, the 59 year old branded Pakistan’s current strategy in Kashmir a total failure.

He also demanded the country’s prime minister Imran Khan free Islamists held in Pakistani jails and “open the border for our fighters” to strike Indian forces.

India’s crackdown in Kashmir ramped up this week with the arrest of more than 500 people and scores of opposition politicians detained.

Indian and Pakistani troops then exchanged fire across the border on Wednesday night.

“Muslims in Kashmir are waiting for our help,” said Aziz, who was close to Bin Laden and al-Qaeda, as well as the founder of the Taliban Mullah Omar.

“The current policy on Kashmir is weak. We have to respond to the Indian atrocities and the lockdown of the valley.”

Under Azizi the Red Mosque in Islamabad became a haven for militants eventually sparking a bloody showdown with the Pakistani military in 2007.

He is now thought to be close to the Inter-Services Intelligence, which is Pakistan’s powerful intelligence agency….

    Who says?

    His god al LAH?

    The pagan Arab god with ONE leg and…TWO RIGHT HANDS?
    {sahih muslim 1827}

    Why should anyone take seriously a god who gets even his anatomy so laughably wrong?

    So al LAH wants to rule over us and conquer the world through war,violence,hate and dissembling{…a world that the ACTUAL GOD,the Judeo-Christian one ,ALREADY OWNS…Why would the ACTUAL GOD need to use force to take over a world He already owns?….Think about that..}?

    Will Al Lah catch us all in his TWO RIGHT HANDS and squash us and stamp on us with his ONE leg?
    Or will the Actual God be putting this nonsense to an end?

    Stay tuned and stay Frosty.

    There are no such things as “Muslim lands”. The last caliphate ended in 1924, a shell of it’s former self. Muslims don’t own anything just because they are Muslim, except for maybe Saudi Arabia. And now this old fool is using the Quran to manipulate people into becoming murderers over another imaginary “Muslim land”.
    When are Muslims going to stop respecting people like this who has nothing of value to offer anyone.

    So, the past 1,000+ years and a hundred million+ dead bodies in India was just for fun. Now, they’re serious and jihad is mandatory.

    “Muslim cleric says jihad is now “mandatory” against India over Jammu and Kashmir”

    “He doesn’t mean an interior spiritual struggle, either.”

    Good one Robert Spencer.You keep hitting the nail on the head.

    I do not know why there is a “now” in the sentence.It always has been with the help of two faced Pakistan.

    And while I am at it India like Israel have never occupied territory. Jammu and Kashmir has always been part of India.If anything Pakistan occupies a part of Kashmir so it is an occupier of part of India (China also occupies part of India) but you will not hear that from the main stream media

      And notice the “cleric” side of the story. This means that it is Islam as a “religion” that is the problem. As often as not, the “cleric”s are the ring leaders of terrorism.

    “He is now thought to be close to the Inter-Services Intelligence, which is Pakistan’s powerful intelligence agency….”

    Yes Aziz and other Islamic militants are now close to or supported by the Inter-Services Intelligence, which is Pakistan’s powerful intelligence agency.

    How good it that?

    Remember Pakistan does not want to release the terrorist who carried out the terror attack in Mumbai India.
    Mumbai Hotel.

    The Pakistan-India wars speak loudly that Islam is not a religion of peace. Pakistanis and Indians are of the same general DNA and are, therefore, free of significant racial differences. Yet, because of religious-ethnic differences they are continually threatening or at war. An entire nation was created, Pakistan, to give Muslims and Hindus peace – and it’s a failure.

    Let’s hear the Leftsts try to make this about racism – they are the same race – instead of jihad. It is a glaring example that equating ethnic differences to racism is a contrived falsehood. Islam has no race.

      maybe something happens to alter DNA when someone becomes a muslim?

    The religion of peace is no being ignored by the lame, fakenews media. They have no use for a story that includes Islamic aggression … even when nukes are owned on both sides.

    Imagine the lame presstitutes being silent about potential nuclear war breaking out over Kashmir !!!

    “Jihad is now “mandatory” against India over Jammu and Kashmir” is it? So the Great and Mighty Mohammedans, to Whom every knee must bow, have spoken unto us. So where has this dictum come from? ‘Maulana Abdul Aziz’? Who the hell’s he? I was expecting Mr. Spencer to be quoting an omnipotent ruling from some ‘World Council of Islam’ or equally pompous-sounding gaggle of bloated, antediluvian islamic egos, just like the UK has its ‘Muslim Council of Great Britain’ that no one ever voted for (along with the infamous ‘islamic Parliament’ that seems to have gone up in a puff of smoke somewhere). Walter Mitty is apparently alive and well, and now armed with a thermo-nuclear device in some middle-eastern cave, or mosque in Luton, Bradford, Berlin,……

      This is the difference between Fard Kifayah–a collective obligation–and Fard Ayn, a personal obligation from every individual Muslim. This Muslim cleric is arguing that Jihad in Kashmit is now the latter.

    I was a Muslim and embarrassed and had a guilty feeling that I was following a death cult. But abandoning that cult means death. Fortunately through a friend I came to overcome my dilemma and began living a civilized life. For those who want to follow me see http://sanatanaparishad.blogspot.in/

    NUCLEAR SUICIDE: And U heard it first here… What happens when a desperate bankrupt and a vile evil nation with nuclear arms embarks on a mass nuclear suicide with a stronger country like India, knowing very well it has nothing to lose even if it gets annihilated in retaliatory strikes? With the blind Jehaadi belief that all the Pakis will go to heaven and all the dead infidels in such a suicide nuclear strike will be sent to hell…I’ve been saying this for long. One day a desperate Pakistan WILL STRIKE INDIA with nukes… MARK MY WORDS!!!

      Houston, there’s a problem. Pakistan has 170 million Muslims and probably 4 million Hindus and non-Muslims. But India has 165 million Muslims too. So Pakistan, while disappearing from Earth, will end up killing millions of Muslims in India, whose lives apparently of no consequence compared to that of 10 million Kashmiri Muslims. Without doubt it will be the most stupid collective suicide in history

      • gravenimage says

        Aug 22, 2019 at 10:40 pm

        Yes–after 1947, the Infidel population of Pakistan has been almost wiped out, while the Muslim population of India has mushroomed.

    ISLAM:
    – what, we are not given special rights? We are under attack! We must fight back!
    – what, you lower life do not convert to our sick mysogynic ideology? We are under attack …
    – what, you eat and drink while we are fasting? We are under attack! We must strike back!

      Yes–this is how Muslims think.
