Muslim clerics? What? Why, how can this be? How can these two men who have dedicated their lives to understanding Islam properly and living it out correctly have misunderstood the Religion of Peace so spectacularly as to think that it called for the murder of those who supposedly insulted its leading figure? Pope Francis, that most learned of imams, needs to sit down with Maulana Mohammad Mufti Naeem Kazmi and Imam Maulana Anwarul Haq and explain to them that authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Qur’an are opposed to every form of violence.
“Saffron leader Kamlesh Tiwari murder: 3 held in Gujarat, 2 U.P. Muslim clerics booked,” The Hindu, October 19, 2019:
Bijnor clerics Maulana Mohammad Mufti Naeem Kazmi and Imam Maulana Anwarul Haq had ‘announced’ a bounty of ₹1.5 crore for ‘beheading’ Tiwari for his alleged controversial comments on Prophet Muhammad in 2015.
Three persons have been detained in Gujarat and two Muslim clerics booked in Bijnor, Uttar Pradesh, in connection with the murder of saffron leader Kamlesh Tiwari, police said on Saturday.
In a joint operation, the Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh police detained five persons in Surat but let off two of them after an inquiry, the police said.
The three detained were identified as Maulana Mohsin Sheikh Salim (24), who worked in a sari shop; Faizan (21), who was employed in a shoe store; and Rashid Ahmed Pathan alias Khurshid Ahmed (23), a tailor who also has knowledge of computers.
At a press conference in Lucknow, DGP O.P. Singh said that as per preliminary investigation, the three were found to be involved in the conspiracy of the murder. “We don’t know their criminal history yet. They could be brought to U.P. on remand for further questioning.”

QUICK … call Islamic apologists Mohammed Khalil and Jonathan Brown to explain to clerics Maulana Mohammad Mufti Naeem Kazmi and Imam Maulana Anwarul Haq have both MISUNDERSTOOD ISLAM.
Khalil and Brown both ‘KNOW’ in the shelter of American academia that Islam does not mandate terrorism or warfare against disbelievers.
How can Maulana Mohammad Mufti Naeem Kazmi and Imam Maulana Anwarul Haq be so WRONG … WRONG?

India: Two Muslim clerics arrested for 2015 call for beheading of Hindu leader who was just murdered
……………….
Horrifying–but no surprise. That India has done nothing about these threats for four years–and not until after the victim was murdered–is appalling. Still, some Infidel nations would not even act then, so it is better than nothing.

Super introduction Robert and finished off with the link to “authentic Islam”

Insult the Prophet in public, on the streets, in the open and one immediately becomes a target.
That is a reality of today’s world.

Much safer to do it on blogs and websites.

Dhimmi Pope Francis-Obama gave a response to the Islamic murders of the Charlie Hebdo journalists for blaspheming Muhammad…with his usual apologetics and his servile IslamoTolerance with the wishy-washy— on the one hand it’s wrong to insult a religion, and on the other hand it’s wrong to commit murder.
The Pope said:
“If a dear friend were to utter a swear word against my mother, he’s going to get a punch in the nose. That’s normal… There are so many people who speak badly about religions, who make fun of them … they are provocateurs. And what happens to them is what would happen to [my dear friend] if he says a word against my mother. There is a limit. Every religion has its dignity … in freedom of expression there are limits. One cannot offend, make war, kill in the name of one’s own religion…To kill in the name of God is an aberration.”
This Pope refuses to acknowledge that Islam justifies murder and all kinds of other heinous acts in the name of their allah god. Islam itself is the aberration of what WE in the West would LIKE to consider a “religion.” That’s our downfall. Pretending that Islam is something sacred that should be revered by the non-Muslim West is our Achilles heel. Anyone who acts out the murderous core beliefs of Islam are quickly shielded by the Western infidels as bad Muslims who supposedly are perverting the “religion” of Islam. But it’s surprising these Muslim “heretical” terrorists are never formally condemned and ostracized/harassed/killed as apostates. That’s because the Muslim murderers in fact are not going against their “religion” when they murder infidels. Wasn’t Osama Bin Laden given all the formal protocol c/w a Muslim burial? If he wasn’t a “real” Muslim, why bother? Were we trying not to offend Muslims even though one of their fellow Muslims supposedly “perverted” their religion of Islam with mass murder of infidels???? Apparently there was no perversion…no apostasy…no “mortal sin” committed by OBL. Muslims knew OBL was a true Muslim who was going to Islamic paradise and to his reward of 72 virgins.

All fatwa authors should be tried for aiding and abetting whether they are able to find some halfwit to follow what are orders in Islam not gentle reminders. There’s no excuse for being a religious pooh-bah.

When the White Aryan Resistance [WAR] called for the death of Africans, three Aryan airhead pigboys killed Mulugeta Seraw, an Ethiopian student.WAR lost a $12 million suit, killing that organization.
It is rough to get a direct connection when they did not directly kill the victim. A civil suit made it a wrongful death. OJ Simpson was not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt for a criminal conviction, but the preponderance of evidence was enough to find him responsible for the wrongful death civilly.
Every Imam’s Mosque should be held accountable for any call to Jihad.

They slaughter cows right in front of Hindus and provoke them all the time as cow is very sacred to Hindus… And if some Hindu takes objection they play victims. But the other way around.. they just murder.
