Why didn’t the vast majority of peaceful Muslims convince Syed Yasin, Maaz Muneer Ahmed, and Shariq that they were misunderstanding their peaceful religion? When will that most learned of imams, Pope Francis, travel to India in order to explain the true, peaceful Islam to these men?
“IS-linked accused worked to bring Sharia law in India Karnataka Police,” PTI, September 23, 2022 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Shivamogga (K’taka), Sep 23 (PTI) The suspected Islamic State-inspired terrorists, who were arrested here earlier this week, wanted to establish a Caliphate and impose Sharia law in the country as they believed India has not yet achieved its freedom, a police officer said on Friday.
Shivamogga Superintendent of Police B M Lakshmi Prasad said the arrested persons were working towards fulfilling these ideologies in the country.
“They (accused) had the ideology that India has not secured its independence still and the independence which the country have achieved is from the British rule. The real freedom will be achieved when the Caliphate is established and after that, Sharia law is imposed,” the SP said.
According to him, engineer Syed Yasin (21), engineering student Maaz Muneer Ahmed (22), and Shariq (24) were booked under various provisions of the Indian Penal Code and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act on September 19. Shariq is absconding while the other two have been arrested.
The SP said the suspected terrorists profess the ideology that the IS has adopted. “The arrested persons wanted to wage a war against Kafirs and non-believers,” Prasad said.
In pursuance of this goal, the accused had burnt the national flag and the police have recovered a half-burnt tricolour.
They had also carried out an experimental blast in Gurupur on the outskirts of Shivamogga near Tunga river….

When I first read the title of the feature article:
“India: Muslim engineer and engineering student wanted to wage war against non-Muslims, impose Sharia”
… I first thought that it was from the “help wanted” ads.
I’m not kidding…
