This fiction, no matter how often repeated, is not going to make jihad terrorists lay down their arms. They likely are amused by the spectacle of the kuffar lying themselves into complacency.
“Jihad was a way of life for the Pious Predecessors (Salaf-us-Salih), and the Prophet (SAWS) was a master of the Mujahideen and a model for fortunate inexperienced people. The total number of military excursions which he (SAWS) accompanied was 27. He himself fought in nine of these; namely Badr; Uhud, Al-Muraysi, The Trench, Qurayzah, Khaybar, The Conquest of Makkah, Hunayn and Taif . . . This means that the Messenger of Allah (SAWS) used to go out on military expeditions or send out an army at least every two months.” — Abdullah Azzam, co-founder of al-Qaeda, Join the Caravan, p. 30
“If we follow the rules of interpretation developed from the classical science of Koranic interpretation, it is not possible to condemn terrorism in religious terms. It remains completely true to the classical rules in its evolution of sanctity for its own justification. This is where the secret of its theological strength lies.” — Egyptian scholar Nasr Hamid Abu Zaid, “Brutality and civilisation – violence and terrorism?”, in Jochen Hippler, War, Repression, Terrorism: Political Violence and Civilisation in Western and Muslim Societies (Stuttgart: Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen, 2006), pp. 301-330 at p. 328, http://cms.ifa.de/pdf/dokument/gewaltstudie_en.pdf
“Many thanks to God, for his kind gesture, and choosing us to perform the act of Jihad for his cause and to defend Islam and Muslims. Therefore, killing you and fighting you, destroying you and terrorizing you, responding back to your attacks, are all considered to be great legitimate duty in our religion.” — Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his fellow 9/11 defendants
“Allah on 480 occasions in the Holy Koran extols Muslims to wage jihad. We only fulfil God’s orders. Only jihad can bring peace to the world.” — Taliban terrorist Baitullah Mehsud
“Jihad, holy fighting in Allah’s course, with full force of numbers and weaponry, is given the utmost importance in Islam….By jihad, Islam is established….By abandoning jihad, may Allah protect us from that, Islam is destroyed, and Muslims go into inferior position, their honor is lost, their lands are stolen, their rule and authority vanish. Jihad is an obligation and duty in Islam on every Muslim.” — Times Square car bomb terrorist Faisal Shahzad
“So step by step I became a religiously devout Muslim, Mujahid — meaning one who participates in jihad.” — Little Rock, Arkansas terrorist murderer Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad
“And now, after mastering the English language, learning how to build explosives, and continuous planning to target the infidel Americans, it is time for Jihad.” — Texas terrorist bomber Khalid Aldawsari
All of these, of course, may be dismissed as “extremists,” although they were also all devout Muslims who were determined to follow their religion properly. There is also all this:
Muhammad said: “I have been made victorious through terror” (Bukhari 4:52.220).
The Qur’an says: “Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah and your enemies…” (8:60)
“When your Lord was revealing to the angels, ‘I am with you; so confirm the believers. I shall cast terror into the hearts of the unbelievers; so strike the necks, and strike every finger of them!” (Qur’an 8:12)
“We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve for what they have associated with Allah of which He had not sent down authority. And their refuge will be the Fire, and wretched is the residence of the wrongdoers.” (Qur’an 3:151)
“And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from where they drove you out; persecution is worse than slaughter. But fight them not by the Holy Mosque until they should fight you there; then, if they fight you, kill them — such is the recompense of unbelievers, but if they give over, surely Allah is all-forgiving, all-compassionate. Fight them until there is no persecution and the religion is Allah’s; then if they give over, there shall be no enmity save for evildoers.” (Qur’an 2:191-193)
“They wish that you should disbelieve as they disbelieve, and then you would be equal; therefore do not take friends from among them, until they emigrate in the way of Allah; then, if they turn their backs, seize them and kill them wherever you find them; do not take for yourselves any one of them as friend or helper.” (Qur’an 4:89)
“This is the recompense of those who fight against Allah and His Messenger, and hasten about the earth to do corruption there: they shall be killed, or crucified, or their hands and feet shall be struck off on opposite sides; or they shall be exiled from the land. That is a degradation for them in this world; and in the world to come awaits them a mighty chastisement.” (Qur’an 5:33)
“Fight them, till there is no persecution and religion is all for Allah; then if they give over, surely Allah sees the things they do.” (Qur’an 8:39)
“Then, when the sacred months are over, kill the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them, and confine them, and lie in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they repent, and perform the prayer, and pay the alms, then let them go their way; Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.” (Qur’an 9:5)
“Fight those who believe not in Allah and the Last Day and do not forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, and do not practice the religion of truth, even if they are of the People of the Book — until they pay the jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.” (Qur’an 9:29)
“Allah has bought from the believers their selves and their possessions against the gift of Paradise; they fight in the way of Allah; they kill, and are killed; that is a promise binding upon Allah in the Torah, and the Gospel, and the Koran; and who fulfils his covenant truer than Allah? So rejoice in the bargain you have made with Him; that is the mighty triumph.” (Qur’an 9:111)
“O believers, fight the unbelievers who are near to you; and let them find in you a harshness; and know that Allah is with the godfearing.” (Qur’an 9:123)
“When you meet the unbelievers, strike their necks, then, when you have made wide slaughter among them, tie fast the bonds; then set them free, either by grace or ransom, till the war lays down its loads. So it shall be; and if Allah had willed, He would have avenged Himself upon them; but that He may try some of you by means of others. And those who are slain in the way of Allah, He will not send their works astray.” (Qur’an 47:4)
“‘Terrorism has no religion, it’s a wrong interpretation by some people’: Vice President Venkaiah Naidu,” Times Now Digital, November 22, 2020:
New Delhi: Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu on Saturday stressed that no religion preaches terrorism and it is just a wrong interpretation by some people. He, however, said that the world needs to come together to combat terrorism and isolate the nations that sponsor it.
Naidu also expressed concern over the increasing menace of terrorism and appealed to the United Nations (UN) to complete the deliberations and adopt India’s long-pending proposal of the ‘Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism’.
During a virtual address, the Vice President said, “Terrorism is a menace, it has no religion. No religion preaches terrorism, it’s only wrong interpretation by some people. No country is safe from the scourge of terrorism.”
“The world community must come together not only to isolate nations that sponsor terrorism but also impose sanctions against them. This is need of the hour,” he added….
Wellington says
Where to start?
divinity saves says
Ask yourself, Who exactly is worthy to interpret the Koran? Imams and the Mullahs have been controlling the Korans interpretation in the way of their power to do so, not that they know better but they use the power of fear to force the Muslims to receive this interpretation as what they say and demand it is and lie as Muhammad lied and in the Quran it states that Allah is the greatest of deceivers, and Muhammad is the prophet of lies and deception. What is there not to understand? The Koran was written from men and hearsay after 300 years after the Prophet was poisoned and under Allah’s will to be poisoned. Why would Allah allow the last Prophet to be poisoned? Is it not a fair assumption that Muhammad was deceived by Allah or Allah does not exist except in Muhammad’s creative mind to control all who followed him or be killed in the name of a deceitful demon that convinced Muhammad to follow the prince of peace of Hell.
Dude says
The real question is: “What is real religion?”
Ontology. The science of being, what is, what am I, how do I relate to everything, everyone?
THEN, you will know about murder, rape, robbery, enslavement.
Pretending religion has anything to do with that wicked stuff is for fools and the fools that con them. They use religion to satisfy their greed and perversion, having no genuine interest or belief in God.
It certainly has nothing to do with God, the cause of all that is. It has all to do with their genitals and bellies, and injured egos.
newsupplements says
Everyone knows that religion also teaches the good stuff like don’t lie, steal, think of others etc… but these principles are inherent to each and every one of us. We don’t need tyrannical ideology to keep us all in check.
We are beings that make laws that are about getting on with each other to save causing strife. Did you know that penguins steal each others carefully found stones? They stop them doing so if they can with pecking out their rivals feathers and chasing them off. They all know it is wrong to steal each others hard found stones for their nests.
gravenimage says
Actually, newsupplements, Islan teaches that stealing fro others is fine so long as they are unbelievers.
Bikinis not Burkas says
There is an expigated edition of the Quran that only he has that doesn’t include 8:12!
katherine says
Hitler`s big mistake – Nazism could have been made an indisputable religion by simply casting his own rantings as `das ist der Wille Gottes` , following which would be instructions to rob, kill, torture,rape persecute. dismember … (ad infinitum) .
It used to be so easy to create a religion and have it accepted as such, then dumb down the education system so no one will ever get wise to it. Madrassas and Hitler Youth training go well together.
This must be the type of religion the Vice President is referring to.
Infidel says
He should check w/ his party colleagues, many of whom are on record as revealing what Islamic texts say about jihad against kafirs
roberta says
Ok whatever. What about child marriage, beheading, stoning, severing limbs, drinking camel pee, wiping butt with hand, …….? Does he have a comment on any of these?
What does it take or lack to be a politician?
gravenimage says
India’s Vice President: ‘No religion preaches terrorism, it’s only wrong interpretation by some people’
……………………..
What a tool M Venkaiah Naidu is.
Khushi says
I doubt he is ignorant. He belongs to BJP, the party of Narendra Modi, our current PM so he would be fully aware of islamic tenets vis a vis non-muslims. Possibly he is pretending to be ignorant to assuage muslim egos.
gravenimage says
That is worse than being genuinely ignorant, Khushi.
jca reid says
“I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore cut off their heads & strike off every fingertip of them.” Q8:12 “Fight everyone in the way of Allah & kill those who disbelieve in Allah.” Ibn Ishaq 992 “Kill, convert or subjugate Christians & Jews.” Q9:29 Islam contains not a single original moral value. Wonder where this guy learnt his knowledge of Islam.
The Islamic conquest in the Indian sub-Continent resulted in the murder of 800 Million Hindus & tens upon tens of thousands being enslaved.
Infidel says
150 million. Some 70 million under the various sultanates of Delhi, and 80 million under the Mughals. All that happened over an 800 year duration!
peter says
I lost all my respect to Naidu following this stupid statement which I think is wilful ignorance on his part. I think he is thinking of becoming the president of India . Politician to the core .Shame on him .
latha says
It is not his fault. Remember, he is asking a “sick” world community with warped moral values as far as Islam is considered to fight the global menace of terrorism. So he has to be careful & politically correct to some extent. This is only a cover to defend himself against the onslaught of dhimmies all over the world who’d tar him as a right wing saffron Islamophobe. We can’t speak the truth these days about that satanic cult without giving a cover to defend ourselves if at all we want others to get to listen to us. sic !
gravenimage says
Iatha, you cannot fight terrorism effectively if you are in denial of who is waging it, and for what reasons.
Khushi says
I agree.
latha says
BTW, Google Chrome has banned Jihadwatch. That much for the “liberal” leftists’ ‘freedom of expression championship’. Human rights are reserved only for the evil according to them & not for those who flash a torchlight on them to alert & save the unsuspecting herds of the world.
Clifford Fodor says
Another wrong person in the wrong place at the wrong time.
OTTER says
He is obviously wrong but he faces the same dilemma as do public officials around the world: If you say that Islam preaches terrorism, then the implication is with you at war with 1,000,000,000+ Muslim and there is no stomach for that.
newsupplements says
Except that you forget that many of those so called Muslims are victims of the Islamic ideology they seek freedom from looking to us as refugees, calling us to send our armies to defeat them, It honestly is no fun at all living under one of these “holy regimes”, especially if you are a woman. Look at what is happening in so many parts of the world now where jihad butchers are at work on behalf of their “invisible woo” Islam is at heart a death cult, with a smiley face to keep you fooled. It is working too under the banner of “Multiculturalism and equality”
gravenimage says
Sadly, most of these Muslim “refugeses” are not lookiing for freedom, but instead want to turn us into oppressive Islamic hell holes, as well.
Infidel says
Muslims need to fight their own battles. If they feel oppressed under islam, they are the ones who need to rise up and apostatize, en masse. They cannot expect other people from other countries, who have problems of their own, to step in to help them. And if they are under the illusion that they can practice some sort of islam-lite, where they don’t have to engage in jihad and other sociopathic activities, they have no business burdening the rest of the world w/ that
If you notice the trends in Muslim countries, they typically trend more towards more islam, not less. Only exception I can think of is Iran, which a poll described here recently suggested that only 40% of Iranians now consider themselves Muslims. But even in the Soviet stans, which to this day have secular regimes, the one country that has become more democratic – Kyrgyzstan – has also become more islamic. That’s b’cos that’s what Muslims trend towards. It’s also why they should be banned from all non-Muslim countries
Reb says
Was this Christian governor of Jakarta, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, in 2017 not jailed for saying the same things about islam? https://www.reuters.com/article/us-indonesia-politics-idUSKCN1PI0BJ
gravenimage says
Thanks for that ugly link, Reb.
Jayell says
‘No religion preaches terrorism, it’s only wrong interpretation by some people’.
Correct. But if we’re talking about islam, then this never was a genuine religion in the first place.
latha says
Opera & Google Chrome have banned Jihadwatch & thereligionofpeace.com. These are called leftist “liberals” fighting for “Freedom of expression” & Human rights.
James Lincoln says
latha,
I’m still able to access Jihad Watch via Opera / Google Chrome on my computer…
Infidel says
Latha, confirm that it’s not the ISP in your area, and whoever does the web filtering for them. It’s not a browser specific block
somehistory says
I, also, can bring up JihadWatch on Chrome. I like Brave browser, more, though.
proud kafir says
Hindus will never, never learn. (sigh)
Infidel says
Actually, more Hindus than ever know it. There’s a reason Hindutva forces in India are as popular as ever
Khushi says
It’s true that more people are now aware of islam and terrorism but one cannot say this in polite company even today. If he had spoken the truth about islam, he would be shunned by mainstream media all over the world and especially in India.
gravenimage says
If he cannot speak the truth about Islam–itself a shocking situation in an Infidel country for a high-ranking official–then he should have remained silent. Lying and whitewashing Islam is much worse.
Infidel says
Mainstream media in India is split, but it’s more fairly split b/w pro-BJP and anti-BJP outlets. Like Zee TV recently covered the killing of Nikita Tomar outside Delhi, and despite being a mainstream outlet, they pretty much highlighted the role of ‘love jihad’ in her murder. Sudhir Chaudhary covered it in good detail, and a day or so after the incident, he did a report on the situation in Mewat, the region south of Delhi where this occured. Apparently, it’s now a Muslim majority area thanks to all the coerced conversions happening, and this is in a state that has a BJP government. Only now is the BJP and RSS now making it one of their focused issues
Given all that, there is no reason Naidu had to lie about whether or not Islam condones terrorism: as Gravenimage said, he should have stayed silent on the question. I much prefer ‘gadflys’ like Tejaswi Surya, who’s risen to prominence due to his willingness to blurt out the harsh truths about islam
somehistory says
The look on his face says that even he doesn’t like the smell of what he is saying. It stinks.
tgusa says
Has anyone else noticed the huge number of non muslims worldwide that are telling us what defines islam and islamic doctrine?
gravenimage says
Yep…mostly just wishful thinking.
tgusa says
You’re not doing islam like we non muslims think and hope you should be doing islam!
You better change!
Lol. That will go over bigly.
