She now claims that concern is only being raised about this because she is “an outspoken woman in a headscarf.”
Of course. That must be it. It couldn’t possibly be because many Muslims will understand her to mean that they should wage war against unbelievers. Who ever heard of Muslims understanding the word “jihad” to mean that, you greasy Islamophobe? “The meaning of jihad is not a particular one meaning,” she says, firmly rejecting the possibility that any Muslims will think she is calling for violence. However, I suspect that if Ms. Farrukh heard a foe of jihad terror call for a “struggle” (which is the meaning of “jihad” in Arabic) against Sharia oppression, she would be charging him or her with incitement to violence in a hot minute.
“Muslim of the Year nominee is probed by police after she was filmed telling a rally ‘jihad is the only solution,'” by Claire Duffin and Amardeep Bassey, Daily Mail, September 22, 2019 (thanks to Henry):
A prominent activist once nominated for a ‘British Muslim of the Year’ award is being investigated by police after she was filmed saying ‘jihad is the only solution’.
Sumaira Farrukh, 38, who has rubbed shoulders with Chancellor Sajid Javid and been pictured with Prince Charles, was filmed using the inflammatory word at a rally in Birmingham.
Mrs Farrukh, a businesswoman and journalist, spoke at a demonstration attended by hundreds demanding action over India’s plans to strip Kashmir of self-rule.
Mrs Farrukh is a strong campaigner for Muslim rights and regularly posts on social media….
Mrs Farrukh denied inciting violence by using the word jihad, saying it simply referred to a struggle, and she was being singled out because she was ‘an outspoken woman in a headscarf’.
In the video, she is seen on the steps of Birmingham’s Council House last month, telling supporters: ‘There is only one slogan for today. It is remove curfew from Kashmir.
‘Let them live their own lives – nothing more than that. And one thing to truth-tell to the Muslim community. There’s only one solution, which is jihad. No protest, nothing. Just jihad.’…
Asked about her comments yesterday, she said: ‘The meaning of jihad is not a particular one meaning.
‘If you have a problem with the Government of the UK and you want to raise your voice, the struggle is called jihad in the meaning of Islam. Muslims know the meaning of the word in that context.
‘Do you think I’m the kind of person who would use that word to encourage people to go and fight? I work with communities and the British military encouraging the Asian community to join the Army – how can I encourage violence?’
Asked if it was wise to use the word in the current climate, she said: ‘The people who are criticising me are the ones who don’t want a woman to speak out.
‘There are men saying we are going to get freedom with guns. People are chanting bad words, saying come out and fight, but they don’t get investigated. People always attack me because I’m an outspoken woman.’
She said she did not regret her choice of words, adding: ‘I’m very clear with my words. As a human, it is our responsibility to raise our voices for the people of Kashmir.
‘That is my meaning – stand up for the people who are suffering. Jihad is meaning struggle – the same meaning as if we are protesting outside 10 Downing Street.’…

“Jihad means to war against non-muslims”
Manual of Islamic Law, “Reliance of the Traveller”, o9.0

Official Definition of Jihad according to Kingdom of Saudi Arabia:
“Jihad is holy fighting in Allah’s Cause with full force of numbers and weaponry. It is given the utmost importance in Islam and is one of its pillars. By Jihad Islam is established, Allah’s Word is made superior (which means only Allah has the right to be worshiped), and Islam is propagated. By abandoning Jihad Islam is destroyed and Muslims fall into an inferior position; their honor is lost, their lands are stolen, their rule and authority vanish. Jihad is an obligatory duty in Islam on every Muslim. He who tries to escape from this duty, or does not fulfill this duty, dies as a hypocrite.” – footnotes on p.39, ‘The Noble Koran’, published by King Fahd Complex for Publication of the Quran, Madinah, KSA.
Note: Muslims overwhelmingly conduct the JIHAD OF THE TONGUE when they dissemble, cloak or conceal the mission, motive and method of JIHAD WARFARE against the dirty kufaar … whom they hate and despise ‘for the sake of Allah’. (Islamic hate directed towards kafirs is called Al Walaa wal Baraa. “Baraa”, purging kafirs and their culture, is the Motive of Jihad.)

Spot on, Michael and Mortimer.
infidel says
Muslim ducking and weaving and lying and cheating and playing victim when legitly cornered of wrong doing.
mortimer says
She is conducting VERBAL JIHAD by dissembling, cloaking and concealing the horrendous implications of her remark about jihad.
– “Taqiyya permeates almost all the activities and dealings of Muslims with non-Muslim societies…” – a former sheikh Sam Solomon
mortimer says
Agree with Infidel. She got caught soliciting terrorism and now she is backtracking. Too late.
gravenimage says
Yes–this is just Taqiyya.
Stephen Paul Aston says
She should be stripped of Muslim of the year and jailed. Non Muslim’s who incite violence get charged and jailed. I will not hold my breath
jarmanray says
I too agree with Infidel as she was referring to the attempted insurrection of Muslims in Kashmir where Pakistan has been assisting the Muslims in their acts of sedition. She was hardly referring to any inner struggle or peaceful protest over President Modi’s changing the status of Kashmir. This statement is nothing more than a lie and it seems that in the UK it is ok to call for war against anyone who refuses to act their part as a dhimmi. No one in power has the courage to ask Sumaira Farrukh if she was calling on Muslims in the UK and elsewhere to go fight the people of India in the cause of Muslim sedition in Kashmir.
Ecosse1314 says
Maybe she meant that is she lost weight or kept her business affairs up to date or controlled her temper then that might “solve” the Kashmir situation……or maybe not.
gravenimage says
Ha ha
Infidel says
As Walid Shoebat once said in the video that Robert too was on – ‘Islam: what the west needs to know’, Jihad does mean struggle in the same way that ‘mein kampf’ means struggle.
What the Muslimah of the year in UK had a problem w/ was Kashmiri Pundits and other Hindus now being legally allowed to buy property, and settle in Kashmir. Which is no different from the rights Kashmiri Muslims already have: they are at liberty to settle down and buy property in the rest of India – Hyderabad, Chennai, Ahmedabad, et al.
There are 200 million Muslims in India (unfortunately) – including just 5 million in Kashmir. If India wanted to crack down on them, there would have been an exodus to Pakistan and Bangladesh similar to what’s happened in Burma
Tom says
Oh dear, “I’m the victim” is once again the cry from an Islamist who was caught red handed promoting Jihad.
While there is a benign connotation to the word jihad that some Muslims use in their everyday life, in the context of a rally involving the threat of a war using the word jihad can only mean violence.
Just as all Islamists who are caught in their twisted cries for violence, this woman tries using takiyya to cover her exposed violent support for Islamic terror.
And the willfully blind accept her lie and just move on.
mortimer says
Her deceit will work on anyone who does not know the legal definition of JIHAD in Sharia law:
– RoT – O9.0: Jihad : (O: Jihad means to war against non-Muslims, and is etymologically derived from the word mujahada signifying warfare to establish the religion.
– RoT – O9.8: The Objectives of Jihad : The caliph (o25) makes war upon Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians…
– RoT – O9.9 : The caliph fights all other peoples until they become Muslim (O: because they are not a people with a Book …
-The caliph (RoT – o25) makes war upon Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians
◦Make war upon such of those to whom the Scriptures have been given (Jews and Christians and Zoroastrians) such as believe not in Allah. (K.9:29)
mortimer says
The most revered Islamic scholar of all, Ibn Taymiyya (1263-1328), said, that ‘since warfare is essentially JIHAD and since its aim is that the DEEN (governance) is God’s entirely and God’s word is uppermost, therefore according to all Muslims, those who stand in the way of this aim must be FOUGHT.”
Muslims have many ways of conducting jihad: military fighting, legal fighting, using language to influence public opinion, financial sabotage of kafir societies and bribery of Western leaders.
Most Muslims use taqiyya (or muda’arat), tawriyya, kitman, taysir, tawriya and darura to influence the thinking of non-Muslims and keep them deceived about the true implications of jihad.
tim gallagher says
A great quote, Mortimer, from the “esteemed” Muslim maggot. I’ve written it down. I’m sure that, when it comes to Islam, it is always warfare against all of us infidels and always has been. It is them or us. If Islam wins, all the non-Muslims are in for a truly disgusting, barbaric life.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
And there he is in the picture, the biggest Islam hobbyist of them all, the Prince Wales! There’s no fool like an old fool.
mortimer says
Prince Charles is not as stupid as you believe in the matter of Islam. He is a professional diplomat, something you wouldn’t acknowledge.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
He is a raging imbecile; an upper class twit. He can’t even do what is expected of the Crown in the present day UK politics: nothing. He is constantly sticking his fingers in affairs that he has no business in.
Example: At the start of the Iraq war, he telephoned his contacts in the Brit army and lobbied to delay the start of the war because it coincided with Ramadan.
Example: A servant once revealed that he was called to pick up a piece of paper that the Prince had failed to throw in a garbage can. Useless man.
I can go on and on, the examples abound! This is the next king of England!!!
(His second son isn’t much better, but at least he isn’t close to being in line for the thrown.)
Infidel says
I actually wonder whether Charles will survive his mom: she seems to have the durability of living forever. In fact, I dare say that she’ll survive both Charles and William, and be succeeded by George
But given how woke the royals have become, I wouldn’t be surprised if conservatives finally stop supporting the House of Windsor, and either promote a change in the dynasty, or join in declaring Britain a republic. After all, the Left hasn’t been much enamored w/ the royals despite how woke they’ve been, and the Right has lost support for them as a result of being let down by them in all woke causes
gravenimage says
Mortimer, if Prince Charles is not stupid regarding Islam, then he is something much, much worse.
tim gallagher says
Prince Charles does seem like some leftie, politically correct, woke type of character. And pathetically soft on Islam. He seems to suck up to Islam all the time. He probably knows absolutely nothing about Islam. I’m someone who can be a bit crude and rude at times, and far from a prude, but, when it comes to Prince Charles, he lost me forever, years ago, when he said that “off” (oh so romantic!!) stuff about how he wished he was a feminine hygiene product being used by his now wife. Maybe I’m wrong, but I just thought it was such a bizarre, pretty sick image that I’ve thought he must be a rather weird, sick character(to come up with such a weird image) ever since. I was surprised that it soon seemed forgotten. I felt a bit the same about Prince Harry dressing as a Nazi. I guess he is not a bad person, but I thought, who the hell dresses as a Nazi, even for a joke.
David says
Tim, Monty Python did some fab sketches dressed as Nazis. Very funny. Also Fawlty Towers (Don’t mention the WAR!) Chill out!
Charles could have wished he was a dildo.
tim gallagher says
Thanks for the comment, David. You are probably right about Prince Harry. I enjoyed Fawlty Towers and some skits on Monty Python, although I haven’t seen a lot of them. When I saw Harry dressed as a Nazi (or was it Hitler himself?) I did immediately think, you’ve got to be kidding, out of all the outfits you choose to wear, you choose that. To me, it is a bit off. I also thought that, if his high society mates found it amusing, then they’re a bit off. I’m certainly not Jewish but, to me, some things aren’t funny. I do think Harry seems like a pretty good person. As for Charles’s loving, romantic? remark about wishing he was something shoved up Camilla’s vagina, I still find it a really bizarre, somewhat sick idea to come up with. To me, he has always seemed a weirdo since then. Again, out of all the things he could come up with, he came up with that. But maybe that’s just me. Hey, we’re all different. There’s plenty of politically incorrect stuff I do get a kick out of.
gravenimage says
Actually, Charles wished he was a tampon.
gravenimage says
I agree, Tim–I think Prince Harry is a pretty decent person, but he made a *really* bad choice with that costume. I think he’s pretty much put that behind him.
tim gallagher says
Thanks for the comments, gravenimage. I agree with you that Harry seems a pretty decent person, but you also thought the Nazi or Hitler uniform was off. I wonder if any of the high society mates of his actually said to him, hey, that outfit ain’t funny, it’s really off. I sometimes think I am actually beginning to get a bit of old person’s memory loss these days. I still generally have a pretty good memory, but I could not, for the life of me, remember the word tampon when I was writing the above comment. Did you think that that was a really bizarre idea Charles came up with? I remember thinking, how weird. Anyway, all of this is trivia I guess, but, as I mentioned, Charles has always seemed a bit of a weirdo to me since then. I am not a fan of Charles, but, mainly, I think it his oh so pompous way of speaking. I don’t think very much about the Royals, but Prince William seems a very pleasant person to me.
gravenimage says
Yes, that from Prince Charles was pretty creepy, Tim. incidentally, not always being able to recall specific words appears to be generally unrelated to memory loss, which is a good thing. 🙂
Angemon says
Hold it right there, you bigoted, racist, xenophobic islamophobe! Everyone knows that “jihad” means “struggle”, and that anything can be a “jihad”, from getting to work on time to exercising – “jihad” means one’s struggle to better oneself, so how do you get off calling it “inflammatory”, as if it means to wage war on infidels? /sarc. off

Marigold says
Another example of a so called Muslim not really knowing her faith properly or pretending she doesn’t
As for Prince Charles he once said that when he was King he would like the traditional title changed from The Defender of the Faith [meaning Christianity] to Defender of Faiths.
Infidel says
His ‘Defender of the Faith’ title only applies to the Anglican church – the Church of England. It doesn’t apply even to the Protestant group of Christian religions, let alone Christianity as a whole
I see that church fast becoming like what Zoroastrianism was in 8th century Persia before the Samanids took over, and England getting Islamized via grooming gangs. Since no one – not Johnson, not Farage are willing to speak out about it, and Tommy Robinson cannot win a Dogcatcher election if he ran
