How did Adnaan Ahmad Nadvi, the head of a seminary dedicated to teaching Islam properly, miss all the Qur’an’s peaceful passages that are so abundantly clear to non-Muslim politicians worldwide? Why, those politicians have never even read the Qur’an, and they know it’s a book of peace. Adnaan Ahmad Nadvi has no doubt read it multiple times, and somehow has gotten the idea that it mandates warfare against unbelievers. How did this widespread misunderstanding arise?
“Islamic State ‘conspiracy’: NIA conducts multiple raids in Kashmir, detains six,” by Yusuf Jameel, The Asian Age, July 11, 2021 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
SRINAGAR: National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Sunday conducted raids at multiple locations across Kashmir Valley and arrested six persons including head of an Islamic seminary in connection with a ‘jihadi terrorism’ case.
The agency said that the case was registered by it on June 29 this year under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967 in connection with the “conspiracy of the ISIS (Islamic State) to radicalize and recruit impressionable youth in the country to wage violent jihad against the Indian state.”
This comes a day after the J&K government sacked its eleven employees including two sons of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen chief Muhammad Yusuf Shah alias Syed Salahuddin on charges of being involved in anti-India activities. The Hizb chief’s sons were fired based on the investigations done by the NIA in an alleged terror funding case, the government had said.
The NIA sources said that its teams assisted by J&K police and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) raided ‘Siraj-ul- Uloom’ seminary in Srinagar’s Dalal Mohalla, Nawab Bazaar area and seized some office records and a laptop and also took its chairman Adnaan Ahmad Nadvi into custody. The institution is reportedly affiliated with an Islamic seminary of Uttar Pradesh. Soon raids were conducted in Pushroo, Sunsooma, and Achabal villages of Anantnag and five persons identified as Javaid Ahamad Mir, Umar Bhat, Ovais Ahmad Bhat, Tanveer Ahmad Bhat and Zeeshan Ameen Malik were detained….
The statement read, “ISIS operating from various conflict zones along with ISIS cadres in India, by assuming pseudo- online identities, have created a network wherein ISIS related propaganda material is disseminated for radicalizing and recruiting members to the fold of ISIS.” It added, “In this connection an India-centric online propaganda magazine ‘the Voice of Hind’ (VOH) is published on monthly basis with an aim to incite and radicalize impressionable youth by projecting a skewed narrative of imagined injustices in India to arouse a feeling of alienation and communal hatred.”…

The arrested Islamic scholar Adnaan Ahmad Nadvi knows that JIHADISM has a central role in Islamic theology. So there is no way to avoid teaching it without disagreeing with Mohammed. That would be blasphemy (kufr). But Nadvi was teaching real Islam at the seminary.
The Indian prosecutors charged Nadvi under “the Indian Penal Code and Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967 in connection with the “conspiracy of the ISIS (Islamic State) to radicalize and recruit impressionable youth in the country to wage violent jihad against the Indian state.”
But the ones NOT arrested were all those Muslims privately waging the jihad of the tongue (taqiyya), the jihad of the pen (legislation and propaganda) and the jihad of money (economic jihad). Those ‘soft jihadists’ are still free to plan, organize and implement and abet violent jihad.
If Islamic academies are teaching JIHADISM, then very large numbers of Muslims understood fully well that Islam is not ‘benign’, but aggressive and deceitful.
Too bad that our Western elites cannot spare their precious time to look into Islamic teachings and LEARN something about jihad’s CENTRAL PLACE in Islam.

How can you call jihad when a prophet must receive the word to enact jihad directly from GOD. A prophet has not come forth since Mohammad.

RF is spouting Taqiyya here.
There is *nothing* in the Qur’an or the Hadith that says that only prophets can wage violent Jihad. In fact the Qur’an teaches Jihad to all its pious adherents.
In fact, one of the last things the “Prophet” Mohammad told his followers was to the rid the Arabian peninsula of Jews and Christians–obviously he expected then to continue to wage Jihad terror after his death.
Then, if RF here *really* believed this, he would take it up with learned Muslim clerics like Adnaan Ahmad Nadvi–who clearly knows that Islam teaches Jihad–instead of slinging this tripe at the good Infidels here.
Can RF say why so many of his devout coreligionists have gotten Islam so terribly, terribly wrong over the past 1400 years now? Of course he has no answer for this.

India: Head of Islamic seminary arrested for jihad terror activity
Whoda thunk it?
tim gallagher says
That first paragraph by Robert Spencer says it all. It says everything anyone needs to know about islam and its violent content, which is so bloody obvious to anyone who reads even a little of the Koran, and everything anyone needs to know about these fools all our countries are infested with who keep telling us that islam is peaceful and are too damned lazy to have even read any of the Koran or anything else about islam. What a bunch of dangerous fools they are. By now, anyone with even half a brain should be able to see how fundamentally violent islam is. Take the violence out of Islam and there would be nothing there at all.

The Indians aren’t shy about saying exactly what has happened and why they have taken actions.
Perhaps other nations police, say Germany or Australia, could learn a lesson from this and stop calling it “mental illness” or “unknown motives”.
The west keeps forgetting that islam declared war on humanity and until we recall that and act accordingly we will continue to be attacked.
