Islamism equals war against the unbelievers – whomever they may be

Leave a comment

You will not see the following information in any other newspaper, certainly not the Washington Post or the New York Times.

Islamism is at war against the “kafir,” unbelievers in Islam. What is Islamism? It is a radical political movement based on a fundamentalist and exact reading of the Islamic scriptures. Its goal is world domination by Islam. It is spreading havoc and slaughter around the globe. Most of its victims are Muslims who do not share the poisonous ideology.

This state of war has existed since the beginning of Islam. Islam is composed of three holy texts called the trilogy: the Quran, recorded during and after the life of the Prophet Muhammad (570-632 AD); the Suna (the Sira, the life of Mohammed and the aHadith — the traditions of Islam), written 100-200 years after Muhammad’s death; and Sharia Law, written in the 1400s. Islam is entirely incompatible with human freedom and the U.S. Constitution. Islam is not a religion of peace. It is a religion of submission to the laws inscribed in Sharia.

Under Sharia there is no freedom of religion, press or speech. There is no right to bear arms. Men are superior to women in every way. Women can be beaten at the husband’s will. Muslims are always superior to non-Muslims. Our Constitution must submit to Sharia. All governments must be ruled by Sharia law. It is eternal and can never be changed

Also, violence is commanded. Blasphemers, apostates, infidels, homosexuals and adulteresses are to be killed. Cruel and unusual punishments are prescribed.

Since Islam is incompatible with our Constitution and our laws, we cannot allow this to continue. We must stop it in its tracks and demand that Islam be reformed to eliminate violence except in self-defense, and to demand that women be accepted as equals to men. Only Muslims themselves can reform Islam. We must demand they do so. It is true that the Jewish Torah and the Old Testament of the Bible also contain violent commands and call for subjugation of women. But Jews have long since abandoned these verses and ruled that the laws of governments trump the commands of the Hebrew prophets. Muslims must do the same.

Europe is already falling victim to Sharia. When Sharia is allowed to overrule other laws, it gains a foothold and will insist that other Sharia laws be permitted as well. This is happening in Europe and even in the United States.

Islam commands Jihad against unbelievers. Jihad means war against unbelievers to establish Islam. Jihad is the duty of all Muslims. We are fortunate most Muslims are not engaged in Jihad, because there are 1.6 billion of them. If 1 percent engage in Jihad, we are faced with 16 million fanatics.

When we are attacked, or threatened with attack, we must respond with appropriate force. It is time to draw the line and say “no more, enough is enough.” Muslims who do not accept our Constitution or our laws should be asked to leave America.

Luckily there are courageous Muslims working hard to reform Islam before it’s too late. They are putting their lives on the line and we should support them.

Meanwhile, we should declare war against ”Islamism,” the fascist political movement whose goal is world domination by Islam. The enemy is not only Isis, Hamas, Hezbollah, al-Qaida or Boko Haram, it is Islamism — a deadly cancer that is spreading the worldwide. All those groups and many more share the Islamist goal — world domination by Islam.

Anything but jihad By Carol Brown

Leave a comment

Did you know that a “truck attack” occurred in Nice, France, and that the driver had recently been convicted of “road rage”? Apparently we are to believe that an angry guy got in his truck and took out his frustration on hordes of innocent people. And while certain facts may be true (yes, the guy was angry, and yes, he drove a truck to commit his evil deed), they are not the underlying truth. And it is this underlying truth the West is so desperate to avoid.

The underlying truth is that Islam is totalitarianism that mandates the destruction of all things not Islamic as written in the Quran, the Sunnah, and the Hadith.

That’s pretty much it. It’s all you need to know. From this basic premise of world domination, all else flows. It explains the most heinous acts of violence perpetuated by Islamic terrorists, the most subtle form of creeping sharia that advances the caliphate by stealth means and everything in between.

Islam demands that Islam rule over everyone. And for Islam to rule, non-believers are given three choices: (1) convert, (2) pay the jizya tax and live as second-class citizens, or (3) die. This is how it’s been for nearly 1,500 years. Yet it would appear that a 1,500-year history of darkness, death, and destruction in the name of Allah is not enough evidence for the West to grasp what drives the enemy we’re facing.

So desperate are we to avoid facing the awful truth that a seemingly endless stream of insane things are spewed out on a near daily basis to convince us that the truth is anything but what it is. Case in point: our government asserting that recent terror attacks are a sign we are winning the war against ISIS.

(And as an aside, the war isn’t, or at least shouldn’t be, specifically against ISIS any more than their war against us is against people who live in certain ZIP codes. ISIS, Hezb’allah, Hamas, al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, the Muslim Brotherhood, and on and on all represent the same thing: Islam.)

We’re not winning the war against Islamic totalitarianism. We’re losing. Willfully, it seems. Our commitment to losing cuts across a broad spectrum, from political elites to academics to the media.

As to the last group’s coverage of the terror attack in Nice, they could have reported on how ISIS and other Islamic terror organizations urge Muslims to use vehicles to kill, a reality Israelis have been coping with for a long time. (Palestinians routinely run over Jews with cars while ISIS reminds them to “[r]emember that our war with the Jews is a war between belief and unbelief, so continue your battle and use all permissible means of fighting them – stab them, run them over with cars[.]”)

MEMRI further reported on the jihadist magazine, Inspire, and its detailed directions for how Muslims should use vehicles to maim and murder, excerpting from an article in the magazine titled “The Ultimate Mowing Machine” (excerpt reprinted below):

The idea is to use a pickup truck as a mowing machine, not to mow grass but mow down the enemies of Allah. You would need a 4WD pickup truck. The stronger the better. You would then need to weld on steel blades on the front end of the truck. These could be a set of butcher blades or thick sheets of steel. They do not need to be extra sharp because with the speed of the truck at the time of impact, even a blunter edge would slice through bone very easily. You may raise the level of the blades as high as the headlights. That would make the blades strike your targets at the torso level or higher.

Pick your location and timing carefully. Go for the most crow[d]ed locations. Narrower spots are also better because it gives less chance for the people to run away. Avoid locations where other vehicles may intercept you.

To achieve maximum carnage, you need to pick up as much speed as you can while still retaining good control of your vehicle in order to maximize your inertia and be able to strike as many people as possible in your first run. Keep in mind that as soon as people realize what you are up to, they would scatter and run in every direction looking for cover. They would look for areas where the vehicle cannot reach them. Therefore, it is important to study your path of operation before hand. The ideal location is a place where there are a maximum number of pedestrians and the least number of vehicles. In fact if you can get through to ‘pedestrian only’ locations that exist in some downtown (city center) areas, that would be fabulous. There are some places that are closed down for vehicles at certain times due to the swarms of people. If you have access to firearms, carry them with you so that you may use them to finish off your work if your vehicle gets grounded during the attack.

After such an attack, we believe it would be very difficult to get away safely and without being recognized. Hence, it should be considered a martyrdom operation. It’s a one-way road. You keep on fighting until you achieve martyrdom. You start out your day in this world, and by the end of it, you are with Allah. This idea could be implemented in countries like Israel, the U.S., Britain, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Denmark, Holland and other countries where the government and public sentiment is in support of the Israeli occupation of Palestine, the American invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq or countries that had a prominent role in the defamation of Muhammed… ”

So let’s speak the truth. The terror attack in Nice was not road rage perpetrated by a garden-variety criminal. It was jihad. It was Islamic terror. It was evil sanctioned by Allah and the teachings of Mohammed.

And let’s not make a big issue of the fact that the jihadist’s name was not on any terror watch list (not that these lists are even very effective, but that’s a topic for another day). The watch list is anyone and everyone who embrace the teachings of the Quran.

Deadly ignorance: Islam & Terrorism

Leave a comment

A hallmark of Mr. Obama and his former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is they have continually downplayed Islamic terror, telling us climate change is far and away a greater threat to mankind.
But at 2 a.m. Sunday, Omar Mateen, 29, the son of Afghan immigrants and an American anchor baby, used a Sig Sauer MCX (not an AR-15) and a handgun to kill 49 people and wound 53 others in Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Fla., before he was taken out about three hours later by police.
Having traveled to Saudi Arabia on more than one occasion, he had ties to the Islamic State, which said on its official propaganda site that it was responsible for the attack and “The Orlando attack is the work of a soldier of the Caliphate.”
Divorced but married again, some reports say Mateen was gay. His first wife says he was not only gay and a homophobe but also a misogynist who beat her during their marriage. This behavior, the norm for the Muslim culture, is similar to what German women experienced in Cologne six months ago and why Sweden is now the world’s rape capital.
Whether or not Mateen was gay isn’t important. What he did in his murderous rampage was totally related to Islam.
According to The Reliance of the Traveller, the sharia manual, says American Thinker columnist Eileen F. Toplansky, “there is consensus among Muslims … that sodomy is an enormity. It is even viler and uglier than adultery,” which is “punished brutally, including by death.”
The clear meaning is killing homosexuals is not Islamic jihadist law, or ISIS law, or as Mr. Obama pronounces it, ISIL, it is sharia, Muslim law.
Noting that a year ago Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei “encouraged Western youth to find out about Islam for themselves and not allow their image of it to be clouded by prejudice,” Ms. Toplansky said youths were to “study and research and receive knowledge of Islam from its primary and original sources.” Here is a smattering of those primary original sources:
Quran 8:12 – I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.
Quran 9:5 – So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush.
Quran 4:144 – O ye who believe! Take not for friends unbelievers rather than believers: Do ye wish to offer Allah an open proof against yourselves?
Quran 5:51 – O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for friends. They are friends one to another, He among you who taketh them for friends is (one) of them. Lo! Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.
Quran 4:101 – For the Unbelievers are unto you open enemies.
Quran 4:89 – They would have you become Kafirs [non-Muslims – infidels] like them so you will all be the same. Therefore, do not take any of them as friends until they have abandoned their homes to fight for Allah’s cause [jihad]. But if they turn back, find them and kill them wherever they are.
“The whole world must submit to Islam,” says Bill Warner in Sharia Law for Non-Muslim. “Kafirs are the enemy simply by not being Muslims. Violence and terror are made sacred by the Quran. Peace comes only with submission to Islam.”
Killing gays, Jews, Christians, Yazidis, Hindus, Buddhists and uncovered women, or anyone who refuses to bow down to the medieval edicts of Islam, is not ISIS law. It is Muslim law — sharia, says Ms. Toplansky.
An estimated 3 million Muslims live in America, and more are being brought every day by Mr. Obama. A poll by the Center for Security Policy in May 2015 said 51% of American Muslim wanted their own sharia courts, not the American legal system. Taxpayer cost is $20,000 per immigrant, and that is before they receive welfare, food stamps and free health care.
Refusing to acknowledge that Islam is behind terrorists attacks against Western civilization even when attackers shout “Allahu Akbar” (God is great), Mr. Obama, called the Paris attacks “random violence.” Although he didn’t express anger Sunday in his talk regarding the Orlando massacre, he said it was a “terror attack.” Then he launched into his anti-gun crusade.
The political correctness whitewashing of Islamic terror and sharia was clear in Orlando. And it will happen again.

The religion of “peace” strikes again

Leave a comment

(TRUNEWS) The religion of peace strikes again.

50 dead, 53 injured in the heart of Florida.

Did you know 11 countries which are controlled by Islamic sharia law still have state legalized executions of homosexuals?

How many more innocent people need to die before we acknowledge Islam has a violence problem?

Why are the trendies screaming about gun control when we have crazed zealot lunatics running around inside our country, committing barbarous acts of slaughter?

We had Paris, we had Brussels, now its finally come to America.

A single Muslim just killed more gays than so called “gay bashing” killed in the last fifty years!

#HugAMuslim and #PrayForOrlando are not going to stop the ticking time bomb of jihadist extremism, waiting for the call for a mass zero-hour-attack which will make this latest shooting pale in comparison.

Only God can help us now, and we need to pray our country turns back to Him, and wholeheartedly rejects the Babylonian culture we have embraced as a nation.

Pray and Prepare, the summer of chaos has begun

Muslim BBC Chief Says ‘Of Course’ ISIS and Islam Are Related

Leave a comment

Responding to the theory that ISIS has nothing to do with Islam, the head of the BBC religion section told students this week that people need to come to grips with the “uncomfortable” truth that the Islamic State terror group draws its inspiration from the religion of Islam.
Professor Aaqil Ahmed, himself a Muslim scholar and chief of BBC religion, denied the politically correct opinion that ISIS “has nothing to do with Islam” during a speech at before a group of college students at Huddersfield University this past week.

“I hear so many people say ISIS has nothing to do with Islam — of course it has. They are not preaching Judaism,” Ahmed noted.

As Breitbart reported earlier this year, more and more scholars and pundits are stepping forward to show that the Islamic State indeed draws its principles from the Qur’an and the writings of Mohammed.

A growing consensus suggests that the perpetrators of violent jihad do not represent Muslim “extremism,” but rather reflect a straightforward application of central Islamic principles.

One such scholar, James V. Schall of Georgetown University, has stated that Muslim violence is intrinsic to the nature of Islam itself in a recent essay titled, “Realism and Islam.”

Schall insists that Islam has consistently advocated violence, which it has practiced “from its seventh century beginning,” and that the purpose of jihad is, ultimately, “religious and pious.”

Far from a historical anomaly, then, the violent method of the Islamic State “is little different from what has been seen throughout the centuries wherever Islam is found,” he said. Islam “is actually and potentially violent throughout its entire history.”

“And while it may be politically incorrect to state these things, they need to be stated and are in fact the truth—things that both Muslims and non-Muslims need to hear and consider,” Schall said.

Schall is far from alone is his sober assessment of historical Islam.

In March of this year, Nabeel Qureshi, a former Muslim, published a provocative article in USA Today titled “The Quran’s Deadly Role in Inspiring Belgian Slaughter,” in which he recounts his own discovery “that the pages of Islamic history are filled with violence.”

The author also noted that “ISIL’s primary recruiting technique is not social or financial but theological,” and that they continuously draw from “the highest sources of authority in Islam, the Quran and hadith” in spurring their followers to violent jihad.

The fact of the matter is that violence and jihad are at “the very foundations of their faith,” he wrote.

Professor Ahmed’s recent statements regarding the relationship between ISIS and the religion of Islam are significant for two reasons.

First, as a Muslim scholar, Ahmed holds the credentials to make authoritative statements regarding the teachings of Islam. Second, as the religion director of the BBC, Ahmed represents the liberal media machine that has consistently avoided linking violent jihad to the Muslim faith.

“They [Islamic State] are Muslims,” Ahmed said. “That is a fact and we have to get our head around some very uncomfortable things.”

Ahmed has been with the BBC since 2009, and commissioned the documentaries Inside The Mind Of A Suicide Bomber and The Qur’an.

ISLAM AND SEXUALITY: SEX FOR MEN, BUT NOT FOR WOMEN?

Leave a comment

ISLAM AND SEXUALITY: SEX FOR MEN, BUT NOT FOR WOMEN?
Regulation for some but not for others.

kj

Often I receive notes from Iran or Arab Muslim countries, from educated women who want to raise awareness and learn how to overcome the fear that has being indoctrinated in them regarding how they handle their body and, most importantly, think about their sexual life and sexuality.

“Socially speaking the average age for virginity has gone up in Muslim countries. I am thirty-five years old now, and I am still a virgin. They have planted deep rooted guilt and shame in us if we think about these issues before getting married,” an Iranian woman, a writer and teacher from city of Kerman wrote in a note in Persian.

I am not a therapist, but I have analyzed the issue from religious, political, social, and theological perspectives (Allah, a God Who Hates Women). First of all, it is crucial to detect the roots of the problem. The religion of Islam intervenes, in an unlimited way, not only in how women should dress (veil and cover), but also how woman should think about their sexuality and body.

The Quran (literal words of Allah according to Muslims and Islam) and life of Muhammad are the two most crucial sources through which Sharia law views women and tells them how to reflect on their sexuality.

These two sources are used to teach, train, and brainwash women from childhood, through social media, Imams, Sheikhs, mosques, TV, families, tribes, schools, and colleges. As I will explain later in the article, guilt, shame, and feeling sinful about their sexuality are indoctrinated at this level.

Then there is the hard power level, which imposes thfear. If a girl or woman breaks one of the Sharia laws above, she will be punished. The punishment can be from the state (execution, lashing, imprisonment, stoning, torture), or it can come from community and family members (such as honor killing, beatings, imprisoning the girl in home, etc.). Often the punishment comes from both the state and community or the family.

Those who impose these laws could be either women or men. For example, in Iran, there are many female moral police in the street working for the state to monitor the population. In addition, some Muslim mothers are stricter on their daughters than their fathers or brothers.

Since the Quran is the indisputable word of Allah according to Muslims, it is the most powerful tool. If we analyze the Quran meticulously, we see that many verses related to sex are directed towards how men can enjoy their sexual life, but women play a passive role.

[2:223] Your wives are a place of sowing of seed for you, so come to your place of cultivation however you wish and put forth [righteousness] for yourselves. And fear Allah and know that you will meet Him. And give good tidings to the believers.

[2:187] It has been made permissible for you the night preceding fasting to go to your wives [for sexual relations].

[4:25] And whoever among you cannot [find] the means to marry free, believing women, then [he may marry] from those whom your right hands possess of believing slave girls. And Allah is most knowing about your faith. You [believers] are of one another.

There is no verse telling women that they should enjoy their sexual life as well. In fact, those verses that are directed towards women are objectifying, subjugating, dehumanizing, disempowering and impose fear in them if they break the Sharia laws.

For example:

[4:15] Those who commit unlawful sexual intercourse of your women – bring against them four [witnesses] from among you. And if they testify, confine the guilty women to houses until death takes them or Allah ordains for them [another] way.

[24:31] And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their head covers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons, their sisters’ sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers that you might succeed.

Some Islamic and Sharia laws and teachings even spread the idea that women should feel filthy, guilty and bad about being a women, as well as about their natural physiological attributes. For example:

[2:222] And they ask you about menstruation. Say, “It is harm, so keep away from wives during menstruation. And do not approach them until they are pure. And when they have purified themselves, then come to them from where Allah has ordained for you. Indeed, Allah loves those who are constantly repentant and loves those who purify themselves.”

These teachings become more powerful when the state joins the religion to impose the Sharia law.

These teachings and punishments have been going on for over a thousand years. As a result, it is not easy for some Muslim women to free themselves from these feelings about their sexuality. The process would be slow if a woman decided to liberate herself from these Islamist, political and social chains. For a Muslim woman, it is much harder to do so in the Muslim world rather than in the West. But the most important thing is to raise awareness and continue educating people about these issues.

इस्लाम का वैदिक रंगः-प्रा राजेन्द्र जिज्ञासु

इस्लाम का वैदिक रंगः–

महाकवि अकबर इलाहाबादी की कुल्लियात का एक भाग कुछ वर्ष पूर्व मैंने क्रय किया था। महाकवि के काव्य का विशेष अध्ययन करके उनके चिन्तन पर कुछ लिखना चाहता था सो इस बार विश्व पुस्तक मेले से उनकी कुल्लियात का दूसरा भाग भी ले आया। कवि जी की हमारे महाकवि शङ्कर जी तथा पं. पद्यसिंह जी शर्मा पूर्व सपादक परोपकारी से विशेष आत्मीयता थी। यह अब देश नहीं जानता।

महर्षि दयानन्द ने इस युग में डंके की चोट से कहा कि मनुष्य को अपने शुभ-अशुभ कर्मों का फल भोगना ही पड़ता है। अन्य सब अवैदिक मत पंथ (हिन्दू सप्रदाय भी) पापों का क्षमा होना मानते हैं। हमारे विद्वानों के इस विषय पर मौखिक व लिखित अनेक शास्त्रार्थ हो चुके हैं। महर्षि और उसके शिष्यों के प्रयास से नये-नये इस्लामी साहित्य पर इस वैदिक सिद्धान्त की गहरी छाप पर एक पुस्तक लिखी जा सकती है। महाकवि अकबर जी का फारासी भाषा का एक पद्य पढ़कर विनीत झूम उठा-

ईं फित्ना कि बरपा शुद व ईं शोर कि बरखास्त,

इल्जाम ब गर्दूं मनेह अजमास्त कि बर मास्त।

अर्थात् यह जो झगड़ा व विपदा आ पड़ी है और हाहाकार मचा है, इसके लिये भाग्य को या ईश्वर को दोष मत दो। यह हमारे कर्मों का ही फल है जो लोग भोग रहे हैं। क्या यह इस्लाम का वैदिक रंग नहीं है?

श्री अनवर शेख ने इस्लाम में शैतान पर अपने दुष्कर्मों का दोष थोपने पर एक गभीर प्रश्न उठाया है। कुरान की छठी व उन्नीसवीं सूरत की एक-एक आयत में यह कहा गया है कि अल्लाह जिसे चाहे पथ भ्रष्ट करे और जिसे चाहे सन्मार्ग दिखावे। अल्लाह ने मनुष्यों पर शैतान छोड़ रखे हैं, फिर भला वे पाप क्यों न करें? मौलाना मौदूदी आदि सब इन आयतों का यही अर्थ करते हैं। अनवर शेख जी का प्रश्न इस्लाम की वैदिक सोच का ज्वलन्त प्रमाण है। यह स्वस्थ सोच ऋषि की देन है।

वे बहुत प्रसन्न हुयेः–विश्व पुस्तक मेले में लक्ष्मण जी जिज्ञासु ने मुझे कहा- ईरान के फारसी साहित्य को देखिये। इनसे कुछ चर्चा करो। मैंने उनसे पूछा-क्या प्रो. महेशप्रसाद मौलवी फाजिल जी कविवर उमर ौयाम की रुबाइयों का संस्करण मुझे देंगे? महेश प्रसाद जी की ईरान यात्रा की भी उनसे संक्षिप्त चर्चा की। मेरे मुख से महेशप्रसाद जी के उस दुर्लभ संस्करण की चर्चा करके वे बहुत हर्षित हुए। कहा- यह तो अभी उपलध नहीं। कोई प्रकाशक इसे छपवायेगा ही। मुझे भी अच्छा लगा कि हमारे महान् विद्वान् की मौलिक देन को ईरान भूला नहीं है।

और वे चुप्पी साध गयेः–लक्ष्मण जी मुझे मिर्जाइयों के स्टाल पर ले गये और कहा कि कुछ इनसे कहो। मैंने कहा- ‘दुर्रे समीं’ लेना चाहता हूँ। वे बोले- नहीं है। मैंने फिर ‘तजकरः’ माँगा। वे बोले- नहीं है। फिर एक और ग्रन्थ माँगा। कहा- नहीं है। उन्होंने स्वयं कोई बात न चलाई। मेरी हर बात पर न, न कहते गये और चुप्पी साध लेते। मैं भी समझ गया कि इनमें कोई मुझे जानता पहचानता है, अन्यथा ये तो हर नये शिकार की टोह में रहते हैं।

जमायते इस्लामी के स्टाल से मौलाना मौदूदी के कुरान-अनुवाद का अंग्रेजी – अनुवाद दिया गया। कहा- यदि आप इसे पढें, तो हम आपको देते हैं। मैंने कहा- ‘‘भाई जब मेरे सिर के बाल काले थे, मैंने तभी नियमित पाठक के रूप में ‘तर्जमानु-उल-कुरान’ को ध्यानपूर्वक पढ़ा था।’’ यह सुनकर उन्होंने सहर्ष मुझे वह ग्रन्थ भेंट कर दिया। यह उनकी मिशनरी सूझ थी कि वे ग्राहक को परखते व पहचानते थे।

Why not four spouses for Muslim women too, asks Kerala HC judge

Leave a comment

Kerala high court judge Justice B Kamal Pasha stirred a hornet’s nest on Sunday by asking why Muslim women could not have four husbands while the men enjoyed the same privilege under the Muslim personal law.

Addressing a seminar organised by an NGO run by women lawyers in Kozhikode, Pasha said Muslim personal laws are heavily loaded against women. He blamed religious heads for establishing the hegemony of men and wanted them to introspect during religious discourses on sensitive issues.

Under the Muslim personal law, a man can marry four times. Although many Muslim countries have banned polygamy, it is still prevalent in India.

“Religious heads should do self-introspection whether they are eligible to pronounce one-sided verdicts. People should also think about the eligibility of persons who are pronouncing such verdicts,” he said, adding that women were deprived even of the rights enshrined in the Quran.

Pasha also said that it was unfair to oppose a uniform civil code. “Even the highest court is a bit reluctant to interfere in this. Women should come forward to end this injustice,” he said.

“Personal law is loaded with discrimination. Besides denying equality, it also denies women’s right to property and other issues,” he said. The judge added that the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, will be fruitful if the right of a woman to her husband’s property is properly defined.

– तबलीग रिसालत पृष्ट – २७ , भाग – ९

मौलाना मुहम्मद अब्दुर्रउफ़ “कादियानियत की हकीकत” में लिखते हैं कि मानो कि तमाम मुसलमान जो मिर्ज़ा गुलाम अहमद के हक़ होने की गवाही न तो वह जहन्नमी और हरामजादे , जंगल के सूअर और रण्डियों की औलादें हैं और मुसलमान औरतें हरामजादियां रंडियां (वैश्याएँ) और जंगल की कुतियाँ और जहन्नमी हैं

– पृष्ट -५४, प्रकाशन – २०१०

 

मिर्ज़ा गुलाम अहमद की भाषा शैली किस स्तर तक गिरी हुयी थी ये उसके चुनिन्दा नमूने हैं अन्यथा भाषा की स्तर इस कदर गिरा हुआ है कि हम उसे पटल पर रखना ठीक नहीं समझते .

समझदारों के लिए इशारा ही काफी है .

 

Pandit Lekhram gave Mirza Ghulam Ahmad a very hard time for a number of years. He would respond to the latter’s challenges, and would show up to meet him, and also wrote in an equally tough, though more civil tone, but nevertheless very sarcastic.  Here references are given of sarcastic & unplished tone of Mirza Ghulam Ahamd

What is Jihad: Abhula La Maududi

Leave a comment

Muslims now a days find out various meaning of Jihad. Some says is a spiritual struggle within oneself against sin. Some describes as Jihad is not a violent concept. Jihad is not a declaration of war against other religions etc etc.

Let’s have a view of Abhuda Ala Maududi on this point . He (25 September 1903 – 22 September 1979), was an Indian-Pakistani scholar, philosopher, jurist, journalist, islamist and imam.

He strove not only to revive Islam as a renewer of the religion, but to propagate “true Islam”.

He believed that politics was essential for Islam and that it was necessary to institute sharia and preserve Islamic culture from what he saw as the evils of secularism, nationalism, and women’s emancipation.

He was the founder of the Jamaat-e-Islami, the largest Islamic organisation in Asia. He and his party are thought to have been the pioneer in politicizing islam and generating support for an Islamic state in Pakistan. They are thought to have helped inspire General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq to introduce “Sharization” to Pakistan.

 

The word ‘Jihād’ is commonly translated into English as ‘the Holy War’ and for a long while now the word has been interpreted so that it has become synonymous with a ‘mania of religion’.

 

The word ‘Jihād’ conjures up the vision of a marching band of religious fanatics with savage beards and fiery eyes brandishing drawn swords and attacking the infidels wherever they meet them and

.pressing them under the edge of the sword for the recital of Kalima

 

What Jihad Really is?:  Forcing views on others…

 

In reality Islam is a revolutionary ideology and programme which seeks to alter the social order of the whole world and rebuild it in conformity with its own tenets and ideals. ‘Muslim’ is the title of that International Revolutionary Party organized by Islam to carry into effect its revolutionary programme.

And ‘Jihād’ refers to that revolutionary struggle and utmost exertion which the Islamic Party brings into play to achieve this objective.

Objective to destroy all states:

Islam wishes to destroy all states and governments anywhere on the face of the earth which are opposed to the ideology and programme of Islam regardless of the country or the Nation which rules it.

The purpose of Islam is to set up a state on the basis of its own ideology and programme, regardless of which nation assumes the role of the standard-bearer of Islam or the rule of which nation is undermined in the process of the establishment of an ideological Islamic State.

Want to rule whole world:

Islam requires the earth—not just a portion, but the whole planet—not because the sovereignty over the earth should be wrested from one nation or several nations and vested in one particular nation. Islam wishes to press into service all forces which can bring about a revolution and a composite term for the use of all these forces is ‘Jihad’.

The Need and Objective of Jihad: Destroy un-Islamic civilizations

Those who affirm faith in Islamic ideology become members of the party of Islam.

In this manner, an International Revolutionary Party is born to which Qur’an gives the title of ‘Hizb Allah’ and which alternatively is known as Islamic Party or the Ummah of Islam’.

As soon as this party is formed, it launches the struggle to obtain the purpose for which it exists. The rationale for its existence is that it should Endeavour to destroy the hegemony of an un-Islamic system and establish in its place the rule of that social and cultural order which regulates life with balanced and humane laws, referred to by the Qur’an with the comprehensive term ‘the

word of God’.

Objectives of Jihadis as explained by Quran:

The Holy Qur’an enunciates only one purpose of the genesis of this party and that is:

“You are the best people, raised for mankind, exhorting good and warding off evil and believing in Allah.” (3: 110)

It is their objective to shatter the myth of the divinity of demi-gods and false deities and reinstate good in place of evil.

(1) “And fight them until there is no persecution and religion is professed for Allah.” (2: 193).)

(2) “If you do not do (that you are enjoined) there will be mischief in the earth and tremendous disorder”. ( 8: 73)

(3) “He is Who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth, he may make it dominant over all religions, even if the polytheists resent it”. ( 9: 33)

No system other than Islamic is allowed to be in existence :

Hence this party is left with no other choice except to capture State Authority. No party

which believes in the validity and righteousness of its own ideology can live according to its precepts under the rule of a system different from its own.

Extirpate rule of Opposing Ideology

it is impossible for a Muslim to succeed in his intention of observing the Islamic pattern of life under the authority of a non-Islamic system of government. All rules which he considers wrong; all taxes that he deems unlawful; all matters which he believes to be evil; the civilization and way of life which, in his view, are wicked; the education system which seems to him as fatal—all these will be so inexorably imposed on him, his home and his children that evasion will become impossible.

Hence a person or a group of persons are compelled by the innate demand of their faith to

strive for the extirpation of the rule of an opposing ideology and setting up a government which follows the programme and policies of their own faith, for under the authority of a government professing inimical doctrines, that person or group of persons cannot act upon their own belief. If these people evade their duty of actively striving for this end, it clearly implies that they are hypocrites and liars in their faith.

“May Allah forgive you (O Muhammad) Why didst you permitted them (to remain behind) till had become manifest to you those who were truthful and who were liars. Those who believe in Allah and the Last Day, will not seek permission (for exemption) from striving with their riches

and their lives. And Allah knows the righteous Only those will seek permission from you (to be exempted) who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day and whose hearts are full of doubts and in their doubts they waver.” (9: 43-45)

 

In these words, the Qur’an has given a clear and definite decree that the acid test of the true devotion of a party to its convictions is whether or not it expends all its resources of wealth and life in the struggle for installing its faith as the ruling power in the State.

 

Eliminate rule of un-Islamic system

It must be evident to you from this discussion that the objective of the Islamic ‘ Jihād’ is to eliminate the rule of an un-Islamic system and establish in its stead an Islamic system of state rule. Islam does not intend to confine this revolution to a single state or a few countries; the aim of Islam is to bring about a universal revolution. Although in the initial stages it is incumbent upon members of the party of Islam to carry out a revolution in the State system of the countries to which they belong, but their ultimate objective is no other than to effect a world revolution.

The same conception has been enunciated by the Holy Qur’an in the following words:

“What has happened to you? Why don’t you fight in the way of God in support of men, women and children, whom finding helpless, they have repressed; and who pray, “O God! liberate us

from this habitation which is ruled by tyrants”. (4: 75).

Hence it is imperative for the Muslim Party for reasons of both general welfare of humanity and self-defence that it should not rest content with establishing the Islamic System of Government in one territory alone, but to extend the sway of Islamic System all around as far as its resources can carry it.

Forceful conversation of un Islamic establishments:

The Muslim Party will inevitably extend invitation to the citizens of other countries to embrace the faith which holds promise of true salvation and genuine welfare for them. Even otherwise also if the Muslim Party commands adequate resources it will eliminate un-Islamic Governments and establish the power of Islamic Government in their stead. It is the same policy which was executed by the Holy Prophet (peace of Allah be upon him) and his successor illustrious caliphs (may Allah be pleased with them). Arabia, where the Muslim Party was founded, was the first country which was subjugated and brought under the rule of Islam. Later the Holy Prophet (peace of Allah be upon him) sent invitations to other surrounding states to accept the faith and ideology of Islam.

 

Historical Evidence of such wars initiated by Mohemmad and Khalifas

 When the ruling classes of those countries declined to accept this invitation to adopt the true faith, the Prophet (peace of Allah be upon him) resolved to take military action against them.

The war of Tubuk was the first in the series of military actions. When Hadrat Abu Bakr  assumed leadership ofthe Muslim Party after the Prophet have had left for his heavenly homes he launched an invasion of Rome and Iran, which were under the dominance of un-Islamic Governments. Later, Hadrat ‘Umar  carried the war to a victorious end.

The citizens of Egypt, Syria, Rome and Iran initially took these military actions as evidence of the imperialist policy of the Arab nation.
