A Muslim cleric? Why, how could this be? Why didn’t Mohammad Ayub Javarawala tell Shabbir Chopda that Islam was a religion of peace and tolerance?
“Gujarat: Muslim cleric, two others arrested for allegedly killing man over offensive Facebook post,” Scroll, January 30, 2022:
Three people, including a Muslim cleric, have been arrested in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad district for allegedly killing a 27-year-old man, reported The Indian Express on Sunday, citing the police.
Kishan Boliya, was allegedly murdered in Dhandhuka town on Tuesday after he shared a Facebook post, which the police said had “hurt religious sentiments of some people from the minority community”.
The arrested persons have been identified as Mohammad Ayub Javarawala, the cleric, and two other residents of Dhandhuka, Sabbir Chopda and Imtiyaz Pathan. They have been remanded in police custody.
Ahmedabad Superintendent of Police Virendra Singh Yadav said on Friday that preliminary investigations into the killing showed that Chopda had fired at Boliya while riding pillion on Pathan’s motorcycle. Boliya had died on the spot, reported PTI.
“We zeroed in on Shabbir and Pathan after scanning the footage of CCTV [cameras] installed on the route, which showed the duo following Boliya on their motorcycle,” Yadav said. “Shabbir is quite radicalised and was in touch with a Mumbai-based maulvi [religious teacher], who asked him to be in touch with Javrawala.”
The police official said that at a religious gathering attended by Shabbir, Javrawala had allegedly said that Muslims should not spare people who insult Islam.
Yadav said that local Muslims had approached the police after they found a Facebook post shared by Boliya on January 6 offensive. The police then filed a first information report in the case and took action, he said.
“However, Shabbir was not happy with the FIR and police action,” Yadav said. “So, he consulted the cleric [Javrawala] and told him that he needed a weapon to teach Boliya a lesson for sharing that post. Javrawala then gave him a pistol and some cartridges. With the help of his friend Pathan, Shabbir shot Boliya dead on January 25.”…

As we know … humor about Islam can get you killed. Why is that? Because anything that challenges the prestige and high dignity of Islam is considered ‘HARAM’ (impermissible). Sharia law permits the informal and ‘vigilante’ execution of those who challenge Islam’s high dignity. A person who challenges the ‘perfect’ image of Islam is considered a ‘kafir harbi’ (a non-Muslim verbally ‘at war’ with Islam).
The amazing scholar of Islamology, Hans Jansen wrote about how the mullahs publicly distance themselves from terrorism while directing it in private:
“Allow one example of how Sharia and clergy operate. In 2006/2007, a Dutch comedian got into trouble with an Islamic activist about the Theo van Gogh assassination. The comedian, on his own initiative, then consulted a local Amsterdam Imam and the board of his mosque, asking them directly whether they wanted to kill him. The Imam only looked stern, and did not say anything, acting as if he did not understand Dutch — which perhaps he did not. However, a smiling board member assured the comedian that they had no plans to kill him, because ‘for such things we have the radicals’. This perfectly illustrates the situation. The majority is silent, the Imam limits himself to looking dignified, his direct supporters bring the bad news, and the elite soldiers, true commandos, true mujahidin, do the dirty work.” – Hans Jansen (PhD), http://www.libertiesalliance.org/2012/07/12/professor-dr-johannes-jansen-speaks-at-inaugural-brussels-process-conference/

Insult any other religion in the world and at most you would get a middle finger and some statement about your dubious parentage.
Insult islam in even a passing comment that will have other meanings and that will get you on a hit list.
Or at the very least torn to shreds on social media, at least until enough of a frenzy has been kicked up for the useful idiots to join in the outrage and demand apologies.

India: Muslim cleric gave gun and bullets to Muslims who murdered Hindu over Facebook post
……………..
Can you imagine a priest or rabbi or minister doing such a thing? Me neither…
abu taleb says
Mosques are often used as a place to murder people, to store arms or as a hideout for kidnaped girls, or to molest girls (and boys).
Can you imagine a church or a synagogue to be used for that? Well, maybe for molestation (although not as often as mosques), but not for the others.

I saw that dead man’s name mentioned as Kishan Bharwad, not Boliya. He leaves behind a 20 day old infant along w/ his wife –

I also heard a report that since muslims have figured that they can’t beat Hindus if an all out civil war breaks out, they’ve decided to target Hindus individually like in this case for any expression of their faith online, regardless of whether it involves islam or not. They make random selections to make it look like the murders are random, but in fact, the funding for these hit jobs comes from the same sources in Pakistan. Like in this story, a jihad/dawa group in Pakistan pays off an affiliate in Delhi to hire goons who travel anywhere in India to hunt down random Hindus to induce a sense of fear in the community
The only temporary solution for Hindus is to demonstrate their street power in India and frighten the authorities: nothing short of that will work
