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

India: Muslim ophthalmologist assisted Islamic State jihadis in Syria

Aug 22, 2020 8:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Imagine being the infidel — or worse, apostate — patient of an ophthalmologist with links to the Islamic State. This doctor practiced in India, but this could happen anywhere, given the laxity of immigration enforcement and willful blindness regarding the jihad threat in the West.

Abdur Rahman was developing apps for injured Islamic States operatives.

Last year in Ohio, a Muslim doctor was fired for threatening to give Jews the wrong medication.

“NIA arrests doctor for IS ‘links’, says assisted it in Syria in 2014,” Indian Express, August 18, 2020:

An ophthalmologist, who allegedly worked briefly with the Islamic State in Syria in 2014, was arrested by the National Investigation Agency in Bengaluru Monday as part of an investigation into a case registered in March against the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP) module.

Five persons have already been arrested in this connection.

The NIA, with the assistance of Karnataka Police, arrested Abdur Rahman, 28, an ophthalmologist at the MS Ramaiah Hospital in Bengaluru, on the charge of conspiring with Jahanzaib Sami Wani of J&K.

Wani and his wife, Hina Bashir Beigh, were arrested earlier by the NIA in New Delhi for allegedly carrying out ISIS activity in India.

“During interrogation, arrested accused Abdur Rahman confessed that he was conspiring with accused Jahanzaib Sami and other Syria-based ISIS operatives on secure messaging platforms to further ISIS activities,”…

    Good. Another rat caught and hopefully brought to justice.
    Personally I don’t care at you are. You help ANY terrorist organisation then you forfeit the right to remain free in the world.

    “During interrogation, arrested accused Abdur Rahman confessed…”

    Given the interrogation methods commonly believed to be used by the NIA and India’s police in general, would anyone have complete assurance that this is a legitimate case of guilt? Was he named by someone else previously undergoing, “interrogation”?

    Could this even be aggression against an “uppity” Muslim by high caste Indian professionals? Though India “law” prohibits it, the Caste System is alive and functioning in India and is the factor that keeps India from rising to its potential. There isn’t much difference between the attitudes of Muslim supremacy and India’s caste supremacy.

    This man may well be guilty. Will we ever know for certain?

      You seem to be a radical muslim propagandist. Your lies give it damn out.

      Commonly believed to be used? Haha. Try some other line, poor mr hateful. What methods? Who believes what?

      Radical muslims burn houses, police stations and kill people. This jihadi got caught during investigation of one such jihad attack.

      You are India illiterate – doesn’t even have the basic idea about it. Probably you are a dollar a day types. Enjoy your dollar, and Have a Blast, literally.

      • Westman says

        Aug 22, 2020 at 7:44 pm

        Sorry Schwami but that is the general perception of Indian justice in the West – inconsistent and political. And the Caste system is still alive.

        True, terrible Muslim attacks on India are very frequent. I could quote a few response massacres by Hindus if you would like. Please don’t claim that aggression on both sides, though carried out mostly by Muslims, doesn’t exist. And get control of your temper, that is a more expected from Muslims.

        If you check backward on my posting you will find that I am a great believer in the future of India and predict that it will surpass Pakistan by leaps and bounds as the caste system phases out.

        If the Dems don’t get in during the US elections you can expect further stengthening of ties to India as an ally.

          95% Westerners don’t give a fly about what happens in India. Only a few ones. There remains the propaganda from legacy, colonial media. Perception isn’t reality.

          Great believer in future of India.. Well, you don’t live here. India is not a country that you read about and become an expert. You have to experience its journey.

          If Indians can just keep their country together in coming years, that would be quite an achievement.

          Westman is a staunch Anti-Jihadist–calling him a “radical muslim propagandist” is quite ludicrous.

          Then, this article from The Indian Express is not “colonial media”–it has Indian owners.

          I too have high hopes for India–but these will not be fulfilled if Jihadists continue making great inroads there.

          As for the idea that Westerners do not care about India, this article itself belies that claim.

      A parallel, going by your logic and surface application of principles:
      1. America has Guantanamo. Its courts falsely incriminate black people. We cannot trust police interrogation or US courts.
      2. Though the US pretends to be all accepting Racism thrives in America. There is no law against racism in America. The US is also systematically racist.
      3. Jihadi supremacism is the same as White Christian Supremacism in the US.
      4. Will we ever know if Blacks, Asians, Latinos are ever fairly convicted in the US for sure?

      Now for reality, with reasoning:
      1. Day before yesterday an ISIS terrorist was arrested with 2 IEDs in Delhi. Most years there are high security alerts around the 15th of Aug (esp in Delhi). This year open death threats were made to the Prime Minister on media platforms.
      2. This man has been interogated after which he made a confession. He is yet to face trial. He probably confessed because the NIA already has incriminating evidence.
      3. 5 conspirators/cell members probably handed the NIA several leads. (will learn more during court proceedings)
      4. Is there really no Jihad in India? Surely this is mostly upper caste conspiracy right? Wrong.
      5. a)The US etc. before 9/11 called people who spoke out against islamic evil nazis.
      b) Now a small minority of people speak out against Jihad In the US and a small minority of people listen.
      c) Muslims make up 1 percent of your population.
      d)There are around 200 million muslims in India.
      e)Historically the caliphate sent armies to convert pagan Indians. Waves of Jihad have existed since then. And ofcourse there is this hadith( Ghazwa-e-Hind/Ghazwatulehind)
      “God shall save two groups of people from amongst my followers from hellfire. One, which shall fight in “Al-Hind” and the other, which shall accompany Isa ibn Maryam (Jesus) [on his return].”
      f)In 1947 India was partitioned to form the worlds first Islamic State aka Pakistan.
      g)In 1991 an open call for Ghazwa e Hind rendered 600000 homeless in India after Kashmiri Pandits were driven out of their homes.

        Notice here I haven’t tried to blame sling Western media about “wrongly hilighting politicisation of Indian courts.” The media is entitled to its opinion but it doesn’t make it correct.

        Courts everywhere especially in the US are extremely political. Infact contrary to the US in India the executive doesnt not appoint judges or the chief justice. This happens through a completely independent process.

        That being said, it is wrong of media to malign courts in this way based on their hatred for Modi(who by the way belongs to a scheduled/lower caste) and the BJP government.

        Intellectuals in India are pretty brainwashed by leftist b.s.
        They also run the India international media complex and basically control the India narrative all over the world. This is not to say India doesn’t have problems. We are well aware we do.

        However over time and about a 1000 years of colonial rule we have become good at understanding underlying principles of media onslaught, misrepresentation, losses in translation, divide and rule etc.

        The standard Indian response is to look the other way. I think Indians need to engage in a more meaningful way.

    Pity poor India – a country with the neighbours from Hell: Pakistan and Afghanistan. Of course it has its negative aspects (what country doesn’t), but it’s basically a democratic, economically and technologically advanced society. Compare that with its neighbours, chaotic, backward, violent hellholes dragged back centuries by Islam.

    The same can be said in Africa, with poor Kenya also having its own neighbour from Hell: Somalia. Another backward, violent, lawless Islamic hellhole.

    Unfortunately the ‘citizens’ of these hellholes abandon their countries and take their chaos and criminality with them. Many of them, even now, possibly on small boats about to enter Britain illegally. 5,108 have entered since the start of the year in over 300 boats – and 4,730 since the so-called ‘lockdown’ started.

    According to the Sun newspaper: “The most expensive package, gold, costs £10,000 and means you get a larger boat with better conditions, less other people and lifejackets. So they are NOT THE WORLD’S POOR, as we are led to believe.

    One migrant who was hoping to make the journey in the next few days told the newspaper: ‘The prices vary. It depends on the size of the boat and how many people are inside. People come around offering the crossings. We pay and keep in touch. They tell us when and where to go and pick us up. “I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. BRITAIN IS LIKE HEAVEN TO ME!”

      Mike – you are right. One more reason is India’s indigenous people, Hindus not rising up to it.

      Between 1920 to 1980s, they got converted in large scale to Gandhism, Communism, Nehruism and esp. Socialism. You hardly get to see a genuine Hindu guy these days. It’s one of the many reasons that people don’t talk about.

      Thank U very much for this post. U really understand the plight of us Hindus. U see we Hindus are never interested to expand our Hinduism all over the world and subjugate non Hindus. We only seek to keep whatever remains of our lands as a Hindu entity in order to preserve our ancient heritage for posterity. And that certainly is not a crime. We are the only land for Hindus in the world today and we have to get rid of this never ending curse of Islam from our backs. These vile mad creatures have been tormenting us for centuries now.

    When it comes to their religion no Muslim can ever be trusted!! They will do anything to assist any of their vile causes! Education doesn’t teach them anything – they cannot differentiate between evil and good and are always on the evil side which what they learn from the age of six or so!!

    Too bad that an ophthalmologist could be so myopic as to not see that he would be caught. Could anyone ever feel safe visiting a Muslim doctor of any discipline for a health disorder? I know that I would not.

    Ray Jarman,

    As a US physician – Board Certified in two specialties – I would recommend against achieving healthcare from a muslim physician, if at all possible. Many have received at least some of their education / training outside of the United States, often in muslim majority countries.

    Some may provide acceptable medical care, but the patient is still taking a chance.

    I have actually witnessed their “hair trigger” tempers firsthand – on more than one occasion…
