We see the same thing from the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and Muslim groups in the West: they don’t focus on Muslim clerics saying terrible things and Muslim believers acting on their words. They only get angry when non-Muslims report on these words and activities. The problem is not jihad violence, it’s reporting on jihad violence, which is “hate speech.”
“Journalists Threatened By Cleric For Reporting ‘Tablighi Jamaat’ Incident; NBA Hits Out,” ABP Live, April 6, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
New Delhi: Journalists of electronic media, including anchors and reporters were threatened for reporting the Tablighi Jamaat congregation which acted as a super spreader of coronavirus in Delhi and other parts of the country, by a cleric named Maulana Ali Qadri on social media. The News Broadcasters Association, taking notice of the act, strongly denounced it in a statement.
While speaking to ABP News, Maulana Qadri apologized for his hateful statements, however he later walked out of the show, when confronted with questions….
News Broadcasters Association (NBA) said in a statement that it views with grave concern the tendency among people belonging to a certain section of society resorting to abuses and threats against anchors and reporters working in news channels. This particular trend has been noticed after electronic media recently exposed the role of Tablighi Jamaat in the spread of Coronavirus, resulting in a nationwide spurt in number of positive cases and subsequent deaths, the body said.
Anchors and reporters working in news channels are being specifically targeted through social media platforms like WhatsApp, TikTok and Twitter, it said in the statement. There are videos circulating on social media in which some religious preachers are naming some TV news anchors and threatening attacks on the reporters of those channels….

False backward religon off peace strikes again what a peaceful lie islam is
mortimer says
Yes, they are backward, pre-rational, pre-scientific, pre-psychological … hopelessly backward … they oppose modern medical science.
OTTER says
Islam is the worlds most powerful virus. Anyone who catches it becomes instantly crazy
mortimer says
Not madness … Islam is a powerful self-hypnosis. The spell can be broken when Muslims learn about the amorality and stupidity of their false prophet.
From ‘The Book of Purification’, Chapter 34. What has been Narrated concerning the well of Buda’ah. 66. Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri narrated that the Messenger of Allah was asked: “Should we perform the Wudu from the well of Buda’ah while it is a well that menstruation rags, and dog carcasses, and filth (feces), are thrown in?” The Messenger of Allah replied: “Water is pure, and nothing impurifies it.”

Mortimer, unfortunately most Muslims know just how savage the “Prophet” Muhammed was–and they use him as a model and consider him the perfect man.
Muhammed threatened his critics, just as this vicious cleric is doing.
Jayell says
“The problem is not jihad violence, it’s reporting on jihad violence, which is “hate speech.”….”
Interesting. So if a muslim says it or does it, it’s OK, no doubt because anything that a muslim says or does must ipso facto be .right’.since muslims are, of course, the ‘best of people’ and are ipso facto justified and above criticism. But for anyone else to say anything about the words and actions of muslims is an insolence and an infringement of the sanctity of their superiority and Allah-given privilege, and clearly exceeding the lowly status of the kuffar. Just like in the days of the Dictator and the Absolute Monarch, muslims must be allowed to say and do as they please, and no lesser mortal is allowed to comment.
Well, we in the West never tolerated Dictators or Absolute Monarchs indefinitely. Certainly in the UK we usually disposed of them before they got their feet too far under the table whether by cornering them and getting them to sign long documents in Latin – or maybe occasionally by more gruesome means. The trouble is that muslims seem to take a long time over taking a hint, maybe because they’ve never bothered themselves listening to anyone else. What a shame if they’re eventually faced with the more unpleasant consequences.
mortimer says
Yes, according to the Left, it isn’t ‘hate speech’ when Muslims do it … even when Muslims have an official doctrine of hatred directed against non-Muslim kafirs.
Muslims may express hatred towards non-Muslims and the Leftist media spike the news.

This kind of mealie-mouthed claptrap really irritates me.
schwami says
It is required necessity because 250 million muslims in India are marked as minority. You cannot say or write against them.
In many states, you will be arrested for your remarks, and muslim groups decide what is against them. See this example:
Arrested for comments against radical tabligi jamat.
https://www.opindia.com/2020/04/bihar-bjp-leader-arrested-tablighi-jamaat-coronavirus-spread-social-media/
What I write on jihad watch, if I write it on fb, I will be arrested, depending on who is watching me. I have no means for legal fight, so it can be a life time jail for me. My whole life ruined. Muslim groups have weaponized law.
Please read about Communal Violence Bill. It was going to be made into law. This establishes Muslims are always innocent and hindus are always the aggressors. It is the unwritten law in several states, though.
A muslim person hits a hindu, and a hindu hits back, Hindu goes to jail. The muslim just gets an appearance in court if hindu person works hard.
If this fraud called minority muslim isn’t stopped, well, India doesn’t have any future.
Anjuli Pandavar says
Thank you, schwami. This is news to me. I get two opposite, but very strong, messages out of India. 1. The government is concertedly moving against jihad and Muslim behaviour, e.g., Jammu and Kashmir, CAA, bringing sedtious Muslims to book, etc., then what you shared above. Can you say more on this apparent tug-of-war?
Anjuli Pandavar says
By the way, Marc,
All comments I’ve posted this afternoon have elicited an error message: “Duplicate message detected,” adding that I’ve already posted the comment, but not showing the comment. On refresh the comment appears.
I’m using VPN. Is there an invisible hand at work?
schwami says
I’m getting the same message, and I don’t use VPN, just normal Internet connection.

Anjuli, a number of posters have mentioned getting this error message yesterday and today.

I’ve since changed browser and now all is fine again.

Robert Spencer correctly notes:
“The problem is not jihad violence, it’s reporting on jihad violence, which is “hate speech.””
This would not be quite as big a problem if this were confined to islamic theocracies.
The problem is, we are now seeing this happening in Western countries, most notably the UK with its “breach of the peace” laws, etc…

India: Muslim cleric threatens journalists for reporting on Islamic gathering as super-spreader of coronavirus
……………
In what other faith are so many clerics brutal thugs?
schwami says
I live in India, and let me tell you – I fear it may not have any future, a futureless country going into civil war, the next Lebanon.
India brands its 250 million muslims or muskins as minority. And this minority is so wellnit and united, just one call from mosque and tens of thousands of people come on the streets, burning and rioting.
In India, Hindus being majority is a fake construct. When less than 2 million Muslims captured half of India, hindus were 95%. When less than a million colonizers captured more than half of India, weren’t hindu majority by today’s standards.
Fact is hindus aren’t one monolithic group. They are divided by over 500 languages, over 1500 deities (total number of deities in hinduism), over 300 regions and local cultures, plus over 5,000 sects. They have jatis, gurus and isht devta. Plus over 4 million religious texts, most of them haven’t been translated.
You just cannot mobilize such diverse group at one call. No politician can. In the past, only powerful religious figures were able to. With modern education, which is largely socialism and left oriented, Hindu families have become nuclear and totally rootless – cut away from others. Any possibility of a unity has ended.
Muslims have just 3 languages – Arabic, Persian and Urdu; 1 allah, 1 prophet, 3 books, and 1 arabic culture and history. And a powerful religious body called madarsas. Plus 1400 years of constant training. So, one call and they all are on roads.
Truth is – Muslims are the only majority in our country. They have complete monopoly over law and order. You cannot match their hatred, belligerence and roothless cruelty.
We have almost lost our country. Newly educated on-paper-only hindus mock our deities, so no protection from them. The influence of celebrities is the last drop of poison.
Please save your country when there is still time. Remember, only rooted and committed people come out and defend their country and traditions. Keep ability to mobilize ready,otherwise, be ready to be abused by Muslim maulavis daily on TV.
Thank you. Shubh.

Over the years many have commented here at JW that India is a low hanging fruit for Islam, because of the rapidly increasing numbers of Muslims allowed by a secular state, while the conscientious Hindus followed a one child or two child norm. This has resulted in Hindus and other religions in India having a population growth of less than replacement rate. At the same time, Muslims grew at 30% in the period 1991-2001 and at 24% in 2001-2011, which is skewing the demographics in their favour and also allowing them to triumphantly proclaim that Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world, as the useful idiots of the Left look on indulgently, forgetting all their liberally released hot air about the planet’s limited resources and the threat to the environment. With no one looking at the Muslim contribution to its population growth, India’s per capita income numbers remain low. Ironically, it also gets kicked by the leftist environmentalists routinely for not doing enough about population control.
schwami says
Yes, you are right.
One more problem is illegal alien Muslims from Bangladesh, Myanmar and Pakistan. They are over 30 million and receive all the support from local Muslims.
Remember this famous line to understand the mentality of Muslims in India
“If a thorn pricks the leg of a Muslim in Egypt, you should feel the pain.”
Thank you.

“belonging to a certain section of society’
Did you mean Indian Muslims?
schwami says
Muslims in India are special, privileged citizens. They are the boss – always right. You cannot name them against any wrong doing, even they are at fault. They can abuse you, no problem. They can mock your deities, nobody bats an eyelid. The moment you reply back, you are an Islamophobe.
They are Lord Voldemart, the ones you cannot name. It’s great you still have some freedom of speech in US. In India, if I say it in public and somebody reports it, I will be arrested in most of the states. I might even be killed if there is a fatva.
That’s why – ‘they’ belong to certain section of society.

All your comments here are really well expressed. Thank you.

Is it the case that the central government is moving against jihad and other forms of Muslim social take-over, while (many/most) of the states have capitulated?
