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

India: Reuters calls slain jihad murderer “math teacher-turned-rebel commander”

May 8, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

The establishment media is the same the world over. The New York Times wants you to believe that Christians in Pakistan are discriminated against because of Hinduism. The Washington Post referred to Islamic State jihad leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as an “austere religious scholar.” Who is paying these “news” outlets to work constantly to whitewash jihad violence and Sharia oppression?

“Reuters Draws Flak On Social Media For Calling Hizbul Terrorist Riyaz Naikoo As Math Teacher-Turned ‘Rebel’ Commander,” Swarajya, May 7, 2020:

The India arm of the global news agency Reuters is facing lot of criticism from various social media users for calling the slain Hizbul Mujaheddin terrorist Riyaz Naikoo as math teacher turned rebel commander in Kashmir.

It should be noted that Naikoo, who carried a reward of Rs 12 lakh on his head, was the longest surviving terrorist commander in Kashmir and had killed various armed forces personnel and civilians. He had also mastermind the killings of local policemen to put pressure on them not to engage in anti-terror operations.

He was eliminated after massive manhunt was launched by a joint team of J&K Police, Indian Army and CRPF in Pulwama on the night of 6 May after receiving a specific intelligence input.

Various social media users expressed disdain of calling the violent terrorist group Hizbul Mujaheddin commander as rebel commander.

One user wrote, “ Hizbul Mujahideen is not a group of “rebels.” It is an Islamist terrorist organisation. It has been formally designated a terrorist organization by the US government. As well as the EU and India.”…

    In that case, with reference to the 75th anniversary since the end of WW2, we could say “Water-colorist- turned-German-leader” remembered for his off-the-wall theory about race.

    Clowns!

        This paraphrase is a biased distortion of reality meant to whitewash jihad.

        The Left is in love with power that Muslims provide to their political parties, rather than being in love with Islam per se.

        They are willing to look the other way when Muslims commit terrorism. Wherever Leftists acquire unchallenged power, they quickly fall out of love with Muslims and turn to persecuting them.

          Given that the Left gets to power by allowing Muslim migration it’s hard to turn off the spigot.

          The BBC’s favoured whitewash is “separatist insurgents”.
          They will not say “jihadis”.

        I remember when media used to call the ISIS factions in Syria ‘freedom fighters’.

    Speaking of mathematics:

      Allah can’t add fractions, but wealthy Muslims have figured out how to bribe Western journalists and politicians.

        How does a math teacher rationalize worshiping a god that can’t do math? Maybe he chooses to believe that instead of there being no such thing as Allah there is no such thing as math … but if that is the case, maybe 1+1+1 can equal 1 and 72 can equal 0.

    The puppet masters who are pulling the strings in the background are probably the greatest spin doctors ever known.
    As to what their agenda is? who knows. These are the same people who repeated the communist Chinese drivel about the Dali Lama being a terrorist.
    What I find really hard to stomach is the number of sheeples who suck up this miss information and lies like its the last cold beer on a hot day. And then pass it on like it is the absolute truth.

    They can only lie and offset blame, because it is not possible to preach their philosophies and ontologies since only idiots could see such inconsistent drivel as meaningful.

    Like I told their imam after the Je Suis Charlie murders: “You will just smile and tell me lies. You are a waste of time. Go away.”

    …………………..

    Does it matter that he was a terrorist murderer? OF course not…

    Why New York Times and Washington Post don’t have the guts to call Osama Bin Laden the honorable “Civil Engineer”? The day they do – it will be the day of their last publication in USA. Why should the same philosophy not be followed elsewhere?

    Again, please read the name of the “reporter”. This is print Jihad.

    The print Jihadis in India are wedded to the liberals. Some of them carry party membership of both causes. Earlier I used to think Indian liberals were a deluded and vacuous lot, but now I feel they are probably fully converted.

    On an unrelated note, I would like to wish Dr. Spencer and his family safety in these turbulent times. I hope Dr. Spencer is feeling better.

    Strange how these apparently ‘respectable’, ‘educated’, ‘cultured’ maybe even ‘nice’ muslims often turn out to be such thoroughly ‘bad eggs’ in reality. We’ve all seen this sort of situation worldwide time an time again wherever there are muslims. I think we all know why. Being a muslim means not only NOT being tied to our basic Western standards of decency, civility, honesty or anything we in the West would call ‘moral integrity’ but making some sort of perverted virtue out of it..With muslims around, a traditionally safe, civilised environment becomes very expensive to maintain and in even then cannot be guaranteed
