Fantastic! Now if Hyder Kazmi can only convince the jihadis…
“Hyder Kazmi’s multiple awards winning film ‘Jihad’ will release on the OTT platform ‘Mastani’ on the occasion of Eid,” ANI, July 21, 2021:
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 21 (ANI/PNN): The film ‘Jihad‘, which has won awards in 35 national and international film festivals, is releasing on the OTT platform “Mastani” on 21st July 2021, the day of Eid, said Hyder Kazmi, the founder of OTT platform Mastani, and actor of the film Jihad.
He said that everyone is waiting for the release of this film. Jihad has also shown its glory at the “Cannes Film Festival”.
Hyder said that today there is confusion among the people regarding the word Jihad; to clear the same we have made a film named ‘Jihad‘. Jihad is seen by linking it with terrorism. Most people are unaware of the real meaning of Jihad, which we are bringing in front of people through this film. Jihad means to kill the anger and the devil within you, not to kill innocent people by taking up guns in its name….

and …………
“slay them wherever you find them”
means give them a hug
mgoldberg says
… With a sharp blade across the jugular….. yes. that kind of hug.
mortimer says
Agree with Ade Fagan. The mullahs spend their careers trying to convince Muslims that Allah did not actually ‘say’ what the Koran clearly says … they have to explain away the many atrocious commands and absurdities in the Koran, Sira and hadiths.
The mullahs are in effect implying that Allah is the WORST OF COMMUNICATORS. Whatever Allah says, it always means the EXACT OPPOSITE of whatever it is.
‘Hugs’ are not what a Muslim is supposed to give to the dirty kufaar. A kafir may be robbed, lied to, raped, enslaved, subjugated, tortured or killed.
-Imam Abdul-Latif ibn Abdur-Rahman Rahimullah said, “It is not possible for someone to realize Tawheed (Islamic faith) and act upon it, and yet not be HOSTILE against the mushrikeen (i.e. wrong worshippers). So anyone who isn’t HOSTILE against the mushrikeen, then it cannot be said that he acts upon Tawheed nor that he realizes it.” [ad-Durar as-Saniyyah 8/167]
– “The Muslim should regard the Kuffaar as ENEMIES and HATE them because of their kufr (wrong belief), just as he hates their kufr (disbelief) itself.” – from Umar Sulayman ‘Abd-Allaah al-Ashqar, “Belief in Allah”
-“The doctrine of al Walaa wal Baraa is the REAL IMAGE for the actual practice of this faith.” – source “Al Walaa wal Baraa According to the Aqeedah of the Salaf”, by Sheikh Muhammad Saeed al Qatani, authoritative Saudi Sharia lawyer and imam at the Abu Bakr and Al Furqan Mosques in Mecca.

India: ‘Jihad’ film highlights ‘the real meaning of jihad,’ which is ‘to kill the anger and the devil within you’
…………….
Uh huh. And I notice this is a hit at Cannes–but how are Hyder Kazmi’s pious coreligionists reacting to this?
Here is his reaction to our getting bin Laden at the time:
Brandeis junior Hyder Kazmi, who is Muslim, said he was pleased at how Obama handled the announcement, and his urging to Americans to separate bin Laden’s actions from those of peace-loving Muslims.
“I definitely appreciated his sort of shout-out to the Muslim community and the fact that he went out of his way to say that Osama was fighting Muslims and was killing Muslims,’’ he said.
Kazmi said he has been worried about increasing anti-Muslim rhetoric over the past few months. But, the junior said the president’s words quelled some of his fear. “I was proud to be an American and proud to be acknowledged as an American.’’

Note that he oddly omits actually condemning the Jihad terror attack of 9/11.

You can say that for all religion which is supposed to be a struggle to perfect one’s self in order to achieve the life everlasting in the alleged ‘paradise’. Personally I find that a ghastly idea. For some e.g. monks and nuns, it means praying a lot and doing good works to please ‘god’. However it is not usually the case with Christianity (at least the modern era) Hinduism, Buddhism et al, that it involves killing those (including one’s own family) who do not stay committed to, or join the path. Only in Islam is that the case. Claiming that Islam is a religion of peace is belied by the well know fact that Muslims are slaughtering Christians, and even Muslims of a different stripe, almost daily.
Wellington says
Jihad really means to “kill the anger and devil within you?”
What baloney. What bullshit. Some 97% of the time in the Islamic texts (Koran, hadiths and sira), and per every major school of Islamic theology whether Sunni or Shiite, jihad means waging war against all humanity “until all religion is with Allah.” {Sura 8:39} The inner struggle crap is actually a highly subordinate aspect of jihad and only fools or the mendacious will continue to aver otherwise.
I’m not a fool and I am not mendacious and so I assert otherwise, specifically this is just more Muslim deception aided most probably by a full host of useful idiots who can go by the collective appellation of “dhimmis.”
Stupid world. You betcha’ if you’re buying or promoting that jihad is some kind of internal spiritual struggle. No it is not. Jihad is a major feature of the worst religion of all time which means to dominate the entire globe with its sick concepts of ultimate reality.
Jihad means eternal war until all the Earth is the dar al-Islam and no more dar al-harb is left—and which is partially why I condemn EVERY willing adult adherent to Islam because you endorse a belief system which is putrid to its core, highly parasitical, and a mortal enemy of liberty. So sick of you all. Might as well be Nazis as be Muslims.

Wellington’s skeptical view of ‘soft jihad’ is well-taken, because the so-called ‘INNER JIHAD’ (of moral improvement) is not found in early Islamic texts at all.
The idea of ‘greater’ and ‘lesser’ jihad (with violent jihad being ‘lesser’) comes from an anecdote in an 11th-century history of Baghdad. It is not in the Koran or in any of the authoritative hadith collections.
The mention of ‘greater jihad’ first appeared in Ta’arikh Baghdad by al-Khatib al-Baghdadi in the 11th century. It was quoted in the 16th-17th century by Muhammad al-Manawi in order to promote Sufism. It is a spurious idea that is not found in primary, original Islam.
Modern Muslims have ‘innovated’ the idea that jihad is a sort of ‘moral improvement’, but it is actually supremacist warfare directed against non-Muslims.
When Muslims talk about ‘inner jihad’, they are deceiving themselves while trying to deceive the dirty kufaar to believe Islam is actually benign.
Islam is far from benign because their is no unqualified good in Islam for the kafir.

Thanks for that information, Mortimer.

Swami Yati Narsinghanand Saraswati has called for making a real movie on Mohammed, based on his real acts (notwithstanding RS’ theory about whether or not he was real). We’ll see how well the mastani platform or any other media platforms either within or outside India tolerate it
They’ll probably have to launch a brand new media platform to do that

I’d love to see it!
mortimer says
The swami will be unable to find financial backers or an insurance company.
Movies about Mohammed have generally been very low budget due to fear of the jihadists. Only the very brave (and relatively poor) get involved in movies about early Islam.

The movie-mad Hindus in India will believe everything in this movie.
They will say how can Jihad means anything other than ‘to kill the anger and the devil within you’
Infidel says
Yeah, I’ve seen that a lot. Some years ago, I followed some TV serials there on various Hindu mythological stories, and found them wildly deviant from the original texts. However, while on one portal there was a healthy discussion of the stories and their depictions, on the YouTube pages themselves, there were people who bought hook, line & sinker everything that they saw on TV b’cos it was on TV. Years ago, Indians also had the habit of believing everything they read in print b’cos it was in print

If Hyder Kazmi claims that the real meaning of Jihad is “to kill the anger and the devil within you”, he is either ignorant of his own religion or just another lying Muslim propagandist.
Kazmi also said that “today there is confusion among the people regarding the word Jihad”. Well he’s right there, because Muslims have been spreading propaganda in the West. Notably after 9/11, former US President George W Bush was duped to believe that Islam is a “religion of peace”. And since then almost every other Western leader has reiterated his fallacious claim without bothering to check for themselves. But it’s all there in black and white in the Islamic scriptures – if people would only read them
As a Muslim, Kamzi would know very well that the Quran says:
“And kill them wherever you overtake them [ie non-Muslims]”. (Quran 2:191, 4:89, 9:5).
“So let those fight in the cause of Allah [jihad] who sell the life of this world for the Hereafter [Muslims]. And he who fights in the cause of Allah and is killed or achieves victory – We will bestow upon him a great reward [Paradise and all those virgins]”. (Quran 4:74).
“And fight them until there is no more persecution and everyone worships Allah”. (Quran 8:39).
“Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth [Islam] from those who were given the Scripture [Jews & Christians] until they give the jizyah [protection tax] willingly while they are humbled [as dhimmis or non-citizens].” (Quran 9:29).
Kamzi would also know that the Hadiths say:
“Allah’s Apostle said, ‘I have been made victorious with terror’.” (Bukhari 4:52:220). Muhammad himself was a self-confessed terrorist.
“When Allah’s Apostle fought or raided people we raised our voices saying, ‘Allahu-Akbar! Allahu-Akbar! None has the right to be worshiped but Allah’!” (Bukhari 5:59:516). The war-cry of the jihadists goes all the way back to Muhammad himself.
“Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war…When you meet your enemies who are polytheists [Pagans and Christians], invite them to three courses of action. If they respond to any one of these you also accept it and withhold yourself from doing them any harm. Invite them to [accept] Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them…. If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah’s help and fight them.” (Sahih Muslim 4294).
And Kamzi would know too, that the Sharia defines jihad as:
o9.0 JIHAD “Jihad means to war against non-Muslims … warfare to establish the religion. The scriptural basis is … Koran 2:216; 4:89; 9:36; and the hadiths by Bukhari and Muslim.
o9.1 Jihad is a communal obligation for all Muslims… a war to establish the religion.”
o9.8 The Objectives of Jihad … Koran 9:29.
(The ‘Reliance of the Traveller, a manual of Islamic law’).
So stop lying Mr Kamzi, and be truthful instead.

No doubt well-meaning & I believe RS was on a Front Page mag seminar where one of the participants said “of course you can read into a work of scholarship what you want & read out of it what you want”-to which RS agreed, BUT said accurately the history & tradition of Islamic jurisprudence & practice particularly militates against this in the case of Islam. If every main Islamic authority interpreted Jihad in this way & anathmatised violence then Islam could move forward. Chances of this happening? (somewhat between nil & zero at present I fear although hope springs eternal).
Of course Indian Muslims do face a narrow minded Hindutva politics which can be quite nasty. The film by Ayutosh Gwarikor ‘Panipat-the Great Betrayal’ about the decisive 3rd Battle of Panipat between the (horrible Afghans (for which read Muslims) & the Marathas (the ‘Good Guys’ in Hindutva terms) targeted Muslims. Neither film will do them any good.
Infidel says
There is nothing ‘narrow minded’ about Hindutva. For starters, everyone who’s used the term usually uses it to imply Dharmaic religions (Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism and Sikhism), and as far as tolerance goes, it goes for non-Dharmaic Jews, Zoroastrians and even Christians: the only time Hindutva groups have issues w/ Christians is missionaries, who in India are completely different from the ones here in the West
Not just that, Hindutva in India is currently a joke. The RSS chief recently made a speech where he claimed that Hindus and muslims have the same DNA and therefore muslims are Hindus: the fact that the upper echelon of islam in India are people who claim descent from either the Arabs or Turks is totally ignored. Then of course, there has been Modi’s recent moves of totally ignoring the NRC as well as the violence against Hindus in various states like Bengal and Kerala, and trying to ingratiate India w/ various muslim countries. What the BJP doesn’t realize is the same thing that the Congress and other secular parties missed: that muslims can never be won over unless and until the hosts embrace islam
The other Hindutva party in India – the Shiv Sena – is a joke. Back in Bal Thackeray’s day, they were seriously feared by muslims, particularly in Mumbai and elsewhere in Maharashtra. But last year or the year before, Udhav Thackeray – Bal Thackeray’s son and successor – wanted to become the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, something that his BJP partners in the election weren’t willing to give him, so he pulled his party out of the NDA and joined w/ the secular parties. Ever since then, Maharashtra has been one of the hotbeds of muslim appeasement: the case that happened there a few weeks ago where muslim groups were petitioning to criminalize any criticism of Mohammed – that would have been unheard of in Bal Thackeray’s time. But it’s something being tolerated by a Shiv Sena led government in that state
India desperately needs a real Hindutva party, which among other things, wages a relentless jihad against the human trafficking of Hindus, removes voting rights from muslims who have more than, say 5 kids (b/w all wives), aggressively implement NRC and remove all Rohingya and other Bangladeshi muslims to Bangladesh, crack down on disguised secessionist parties like the TMC and so on. This would be something like Sri Lanka where both the ruling SLFP and the UNP compete w/ each other in courting the Buddhist monk support

Francis, I don’t think that opposing Jihad terror is “nasty” or narrow minded.
