An imam? Wait, what? There must be some mistake. How could someone who has dedicated his life to understanding Islam properly and communicating it effectively somehow get the idea that Islam commands violence against unbelievers? Surely that most learned of imams, Pope Francis, is on his way to Kushinagar right now, in order to explain to him that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.”
“Uttar Pradesh: Imam amongst those arrested for hiding explosives inside mosque in Kushinagar, report suggests ‘something big’ was planned,” OpIndia, November 13, 2019:
The Uttar Pradesh police have nabbed four persons including a Muslim cleric in connection with a blast at a mosque in Kushinagar in Uttar Pradesh. As per Jagran report, the explosives were procured in April 2019 itself. One Haji Kutubuddin had reportedly told the youth who had stored the explosive that ‘something big’ is being planned. The explosives reportedly weigh around 8-10 kgs….
According to the reports, the UP police had registered an FIR against seven persons. Among the four arrested is the Imam of the mosque, Maulana Azmuddin, while three others are absconding.
Vinod Kumar Mishra, SP (Kushinagar) said that the others arrested are Izhar, Aashiq and Javed, who are residents of the Bairagi Patti village. The Uttar Pradesh police are yet to ascertain the motive behind the blast that occurred at the mosque on Monday.
According to the forensic reports, the explosion was caused by explosives stored in the mosque. Initially, it was believed that the blast was caused by an explosion in an inverter battery. However, it further investigation had revealed that it was not the case.
ATS Gorakhpur, intelligence agencies and Local Intelligence Unit (LIU) teams have joined the investigation. During interrogation, the cleric admitted that he and some other youths had kept the explosives in the mosque.
The blast took place in Bairagai Patti village here on Monday afternoon. The explosion was strong enough to rip apart doors and windows in the mosque.

So how many American mosques got searched this week? Belgian mosques? British? Chechen? Quote Palestinian unquote? Presumably the mosque on the Temple Mount is at its usual inventory, but how would we know if theyre stockpiling or deploying? p

Yes, elee–I wonder how many other Mosques, all over the world, are just like this.
Infidel says
Actually in India, it’s well known that mosques are explosive depots: Hindus know it, and Muslims don’t even try to hide it, it’s that obvious

Troubling but not surprising, Infidel.

Bu, bu, but the Quran teaches love for your fellow man – if he is a Muslim. Wat? It doesn’t even do that? Only Allah and the Prophet are worthy of love and they expressed it all the time to the believers. Wat? They didn’t? Allah said(through Gabriel and Muhammad, 4th hand news?) the unbelievers are inferiors destined for sadistic punishment in Hell and the believers will have his Mercy, maybe. No warm and fuzzies from Allah. However if you fight against the unbelievers and die from it – you’re in the carnal paradise with women, feasting, servants, and entertainment as you watch the unbelievers burn.
With an ideology like that, why aren’t the tools of war found in every Mosque?

I imagine a lot of Mosques *are* weapons magazines. Very disturbing.

Could you give me a surah and ayat that says, “love your fellow man”? You’d be hard pressed to locate it.

This takes me back to all of the Priests who have been nabbed for hiding bombs and explosives in their Church basements.
Remember?
How about all of those Hebrew Rabbis and the bombs and explosives that they keep in their synagogues?
What makes Islamists so different that their own Holy Leaders can be Violent Extremists who actually have their hands on the Bombs with the intent to kill, murder and maim Innocents? Why aren’t 99% of the other Mosques shouting down this behavior?
Why aren’t ALL of the Islamic Leaders of the World Angry about this action?
Why?

That plea will never be answered… Islam is by nature , insane.. No matter how obvious their transgressions are , any explanation forthcoming , will make no sense to the average intelligent westerner..
Ole Pederson says
Well, do not be so hard on them!
Prior to the Ustashi period in Croatia (the pre World-War-II Nazi-puppet state which comitted genocide on Serbs) the Catholic Franciscans converted each of their abbeys to a weapons stash. You can bet the then pope knew this, he was in favor of converting the Serbs before they were shot or thrown into pits together with hand grenades.
gravenimage says
The Ustashi *were* horrifying, but I can find no evidence that they were directly backed by the Pope.

Moreover, there is nothing in Catholicism that preaches violent Jihad, nor was Jesus a violent warlord as the “Prophet” Muhammed was.

“something big” was planned by these devout muslims…what on earth could that be?
Was it ..?
a surprise birthday party for Uncle Abdooool?
an impromptu musical performance?
a drag queen show?
a discussion on the concept of the Commandments of God and how to obey them..something which allah completely missed?
a public day of protest in support of the environment and Greta Thunberg?
a Cake sale,the proceeds of which to be given to homeless folk?
an exhibition of the astonishing Technological and Scientific wonders invented by muslims using that incredible masterpiece of Discovery,the koran?
[sarc/….of course…]

Idiots and explosives, what could possible go wrong.
I can just picture the moment before the explosion. Hey Abrool, watch this !!!!!!
peter says
Lets see what happens in the courts .Hopefully they will not be found guilty saying that they are just misunderstanders of Islam which is a form of euphemism for political correctness.

To bad the explosives didn’t go off while the ass lifters were in their house of satan. Would have been a blast

One of these 4 animals who hid the bombs in the mosque was a RETIRED MAJOR from the Indian Army… Major Ashfaq. It is the BIGGEST OXYM to have Muslims in the defence forces of Khafir lands…
In India’s history, one of India;s greatest Hindu Kingdoms was undone by its own 2 Muslim regiments left trustingly by the Hindu King to look after his Kingdom, while he went out to the outskirts to battle Islamic Sultans who had laid a siege to his city. He lost a battle that he was winning, thanks to these betraying animals. And the consequent destruction of this great Hindu city was one of the most horrible ones in the history of humankind. Entire city was torched, its beautiful buildings and temples razed to the ground, and the Hindu women mass raped while the little children were killed by smashing their heads on the ground. The entire city burnt for months on and the heat from the flames was so intense that the surrounding granite rocks on the surrounding hillocks cracked. This was one of the most fiendish attacks of Islam on Hinduism after the pillaging and destruction of that legendary ancient university of Nalanda
