“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.

“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)
“Extremism, terrorism against very meaning of Islam: NSA Ajit Doval,” PTI, November 29, 2022:
Ulema have a leading role in educating the people on the original tolerant and moderate principles of Islam and countering extremism with progressive ideas and thought, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval said Tuesday.
In his opening address at dialogue on the “Role of Ulema in fostering a culture of Interfaith Peace and Social Harmony in India and Indonesia”, Doval said we need to work together to develop common narratives on deradicalisation.
A delegation of Ulema and representatives of other religions has come here with Indonesia’s Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs, Mohammad Mahfud MD.
The Ulema held a day-long dialogue with their Indian counterparts and other religious leaders at India Islamic Cultural Centre on varied topics.
In his opening address, Doval said, “Extremism and terrorism are against the very meaning of Islam because Islam means peace and well-being (Salamati/Asalaam).”
“In a democracy, there is no place for hate speech, prejudice, propaganda, demonization, violence, conflict and misuse of religion for narrow ends,” he said….
“Cooperation of the civil society is essential in countering the threat from ISIS-inspired individual terror cells and returnees from theatres like Syria and Afghanistan,” he said….
“State institutions also need to come together in detecting and identifying potential negative influencers and share information to counter their activities. In this, Ulemas, due to their deep connect with civil society, can play a vital role,” he said.
He said the Ulema have a leading role in “educating the people on the original tolerant and moderate principles of Islam and countering radicalisation and extremism with progressive ideas and thought”.
“Our youth should receive special attention towards this end. They are often the primary target of radicalisation, but if their energies are nurtured in the right direction, they can emerge as harbingers of change and building blocks of progress in any society,” he said….
“Countries like India and Indonesia, with their experience of multi faith harmony and coexistence, can send a joint message to the world to eschew violence and conflict. This will be a powerful symbol of the determination of two large countries (together we have 1.7 Billion of the world population) to preserve and promote the true values espoused by religion,” he said.
Doval said that together we should strive to propagate the moderate virtues of Islam as a beacon of hope and cooperation for the entire world….

Ajit Doval needs to be fired. If Prime Minister Modi doesn’t have the cajones to fire him, his party needs to be split along Hindutva/secular lines: Modi and Amit Shah can lead the secular faction, while Yogi and others can lead the Hindu party. Maybe rebrand it including ‘Hindu’ in the name
Can any Indian explain to me why he’s known in India as their 007? 🤡

Infidel,
“If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we’d all have a Merry Christmas.”
I suspect his statement could have been prompted at secular BJP’s behest. Only a dumbo can claim such things with so much terror activity going around you.
bill carr says
Like most leaders who should know better, he fails to understand Islamic peace . It means peace when all accept Islam, not peace towrds those who do not. Quite the contrary
Walter Sieruk says
In reality, in fact, the word “Islam” doesn’t mean “peace” it means “submission.”

Jayell1 says
Just what I was going to say! What English-Arabic dictionary are these jokers using? One that was cobbled together with the same intellectual integrity’ as islam itself was, where you have to redact half of it before it makes any kind of sense? And words can be listed as meaning anything you like at any one time, because you can ‘change your mind’ about what’s ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ in the next edition just as ‘Allah’ (aka Mohammed & Co Religious Enterprises Inc.) allegedly did when they were busy plagiarising the intellectual property of all the local religions to get a half-respectable client base before they had to send their ‘heavy mob’ in?
Alkflaeda says
Exactly, and the nature of submission will always be shaped by the sort of deity to which such submission is required. Allah is a nasty capricious bit of work, and definitely not to be identified with the God of the Bible. I remember reading an article written by an imam for young people, entitled “Allah may not love you” (I think the idea was that this monster’s “love” was conditional and the zeal of his adherents). I have never seen anything like that from any Christian or Jewish source.
Alkflaeda says
Last sentence should say “conditional on”, not “conditional and”.

So true, James and Michael.
Fitna says
“Interfaith dialog” simply means the Muslims are not strong enough yet to defeat you. So they’ll go through to motions, pretending to be peaceful and biding their time until they can conquer us.
The late C Hitchens made a great point once about religions like Islam. Someone once pointed out that perhaps Islam can be modernized, made more peaceful, but Hitchens stated so long as those texts still exist, there is always the possibility of some followers seeking to revive the “true, authentic” Islam and suddenly become as barbaric and as fascist as it once was.
Ofc he expressed it more eloquently than I have, but the point’s the same. Islam needs to be treated like Nazism or toxic waste. This evil death cult needs to be banned and Muslims need to be deported to forced to convert to any other ideology.
Note I used the word ‘forced’ because they were forced into their belief and will not leave it willingly. Note also that this solution is far more humane than what the Muslims planned for us. The option of warfare should always be the last resort but never taken off the table. It is us vs them, that’s how Muslims see it too. But to deal with them while we have the upper hand than vice versa.
I will never accept any ‘interfaith dialogue’ crap with them…it’s our way or the highway for Islam.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Forget about muslims, this whole idea of ‘interfaith dialog’ has always sounded stupid to me. Why would one need any interfaith dialog? If one is a Christian and someone else is, say Jewish, they can work together on other things but just ignore each other when it comes to faith. There is no reason for the Christian to justify himself practicing Christianity to the Jew, and there is no reason for the Jew to justify himself practicing Judaism to the Christian. Same if you substitute either of these w/ Buddhist, Rastafarian, Hindu, Scientologist, Shinto, Daoist and so on
Religions that haven’t yet need to come to terms that there are people who follow other religions, and they have no business interfering in their lives. As a Hindu, I have no business telling any non-Hindu not to eat beef, and no Jew, for example, has any business telling me to drop pork from my menu. I follow that Christianity is a proselytizing religion, but where it runs into trouble is the first commandment, when it tells people of other faiths not only to accept Christ, but also to drop the other deities they were worshiping, which is what leads to strife and seemingly necessitate those ‘interfaith dialogs’
Raja says
The eternally lying isalm has too many lies for a common man to comprehend,
Raja says
Infidel,
You are right. If we just respect each other decisions or respect our souls (even if erring) much of our problem or frictions could be solved. But islam hates all infidels and as such requires its followers to hate them. islam can never be reformed or made to change its spots.
Fitna says
I do agree with you to an extent Infidel. The main thing is that all religions choose to respect other people’s beliefs, so long as those beliefs don’t include trampling on the rights of unbelievers.
Also our differences as non-Muslims pale in comparison to our differences with Islam/Muslims. Actually Islam is the only faith that preaches hatred and warfare and forced conversion against unbelievers, which is why it’s responsible for the genocide of hundreds of millions of people.
We ‘infidels’ can largely get along very well. If Islam had largely reformed and become more civilized we might’ve gotten on with Muslims too, but sadly that’s not the case.
I also agree on Christianity, but at least they don’t try to spread their religion with force and violence nowadays, extremists aside.
In fact if there’s any issue I have with Hinduism, Christianity, Buddhism, etc., is that they are far too passive in general when it comes to dealing with Islam. So eventually the best thing to do will be for all faiths to unite under an anti-Islam banner, to save our way of life.
Because as we know, if Islam succeeds, then we’ll all be forced to bow to these evil death cult that’s stuck in the 7th century. Ofc I intend to go down fighting if we ever get to that point.

The main purpose is to fulfill Bible prophecy, for example, Revelation, Chapter 17. This is part of the One World Religious system that is on the horizon and may be closer that we think.

India’s National Security Advisor: Terrorism is ‘against the very meaning of Islam because Islam means peace’
……………………………….
More Taqiyya–Islam means *submission*. And if there are people who do not submit to Allah then Muslims must fight them–i.e., wage warfare, including terror, against them until they *do* submit.
I’m sure Ajit Doval knows this. He has also falsely said that Jihad is the “struggle against the ego”.
Uma Maheswar Nakka says
PM of India Sri Modi ji has to look into this and take necessary action
࿗Infidel࿘ says
BJP needs to split. In the absence of any meaningful nationwide opposition – no, Rahul Gandhi’s Congress doesn’t count – it has become very complacent, and it looking at expanding its vote share amongst muslims, even though it’s not going to happen. So it should split – let Modi lead a secular BJP that still swears by Gandhi, and let others form a real Hindu party by name, and run against the BJP throughout the country

Now I know, why so many true Indian’s have been killed, every week, sometimes every day, etc. It’s not India anymore, if you ask me. Probably soon, they’ll change the name of that country, India, to more suitable Islamic name. India’s been taken over by muslims…so sad….another country down. Well, they have said, they are going to conquer the whole world, and they should be happy. Not to be a pessimist, but there’s hardly a country, that has their own majority in it, anymore.

Didn’t the head of Al Azhar U in Cairo say that there is nothing un-Islamic about ISIS and one of his female colleagues say of course Kuffar women should be raped as that’s the best way of humiliating them.
