“Pakistani ministers brazenly call for Jihad against India inside the Pakistan Assembly,” OpIndia, February 4, 2020:
Exhibiting its fervent anti-Indian or anti-Hindu narrative, Pakistan has once again called for ‘jihad’ against India on Monday.
Jamiat Ulema-e Islam, Fazlur (JUIF), a Deobandi trained party of Pakistan led by Maulana Fazal ur Rehman who is leading a crusade against Imran Khan government by organising protests across Pakistan, has now openly urged Pakistani PM Imran Khan to declare Jihad against India at the Pakistan Assembly yesterday.
Opining that mere announcement of war with India would force the international community to intervene and resolve the decades-old Kashmir issue between the two countries, Maulana Abdul Akbar Chitrali, a member of the Pakistan assembly even audaciously suggested a date, February 10 (Monday) for starting the Jihad against India.
Other leaders in the Pakistan Assembly asserted that war is the only option available in order to “liberate the people of Kashmir and to complete the unfinished plan of the subcontinent’s partition….
On 19 February 2019, Pakistani railways minister Sheikh Rasheed had threatened Indians and the Hindus with a nuclear war and had claimed that no bells would sound in Indian temples.
In fact, Rasheed had also opposed the release of Indian pilot Abhinandan Varthaman. He had appealed to every Muslim to join “Jihad”. “Doing Jihad is mandatory in Islam. If a Muslim does not do Jihad, he is no longer a Muslim,” he had said.

India should demand that this warmonger be turned over, in custody and wearing chains, instantly. Pakistan is India Irredenta.

Elee, you are carried away by emotion. Pakistan was legally constituted by treaty with India. The Islamist parties of Pakistan have a legal right to call for jihad terrorism or any other insane idea they like.
Elee, in our legal system, we must wait for a person to commit a crime before arresting him. Arbitrary arrest is something that fascists do. India is not going to invade Pakistan to interfere in Pakistan politics. They can ban those people from entering India.

Justin Trudeau, the Trophy PM of Canada, gave Pakistan $2 billion in 2018 which they have likely used to increase their nuclear arsenal. Justin Trudeau supports Islamic jihad and Islamic terrorists.

If we compare Israel and Pakistan, the Pakistanis got a large country, much bigger than Israel to live in. Like the Palestinians, there was no Pakistani folk and the country was not built on its traditional homeland. So there it is, and having its two state solution has not pacified the Muslims in Pakistan. Now they have nuclear weapons and are threatening nuclear war with India. So land for peace did not produce peace. Why would it work in Palestine or Israel? Probably the two state solution is seen by radicals as just a transition between a Palestine with no Muslim state to one with no Israel.
James Lincoln says
Interesting analogy, James.
My compliments…

A very good analogy.
mortimer says
The partitioning of India was a sensible plan to give the Muslim fanatics their own sandbox to play in. They’ve made Pakistan a fearful, backward place to live in.

Inside Pakistan Assembly, Islamic political party urges Prime Minister to declare jihad against India
………………………..
This comes out the same day as this:
“Pakistan PM: ‘Islamophobia grew because Muslim countries did not say that Islam and terrorism had no linkage’”
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2020/02/pakistan-pm-islamophobia-grew-because-muslim-countries-did-not-say-that-islam-and-terrorism-had-no-linkage
Will the Pakistani Prime Minister tell the pious Muslims in his own government how they are wrong about Islam? Of course not–this Taqiyya is only intended for credulous Infidels.
Westman says
This certainly speaks to the ability of Islam to ruin peace and foment war. Same genetic stock, Pakistan and India, yet Pakistani Muslims want war.
Pakistan was created so that former Indian Muslims could have a place of their own and no further excuse for waring with unbelieving Indians. If anything, the current saber rattling highlights that any appeasement of Muslims is a failure concept that merely gives pause for more demands.

If Pakistan ceases to exhibit its fervent anti-India and anti-Hindu narrative, it will not be Pakistan.
Martelson says
Islam cannot exist in peace anywhere without everyone being either dead or enslaved.
mortimer says
The Islamist political party “Jamiat Ulema-e Islam, Fazlur” is calling for jihad terrorism against India, while PM Imran Khan claims that Islam doesn’t preach terrorism.
(ha, ha, ha)
mortimer says
The Kashmir dispute arose when the autocratic ruler of Kashmir (a Hindu) asked the Indian army to protect Kashmir from invasion and annexation by Pakistan.
Pakistan claimed the right to invade Kashmir (no such right existed), but the legal deal left in place by Britain allowed independent kingdoms like that of Kashmir Jammu to choose their own course. Kashmir legally chose to join India.
That’s water under the bridge.

Mortimer, the Jihad against Kashmir has been raging for a long time. The idea that it was started by a Hindu who wanted protection from Jihad and not by the Jihad itself makes no sense, I’m afraid.
Wilfred says
Pakistan is always welcome for a war with India. And certainly all their doubts & misgivings will be cleared in to time. It can also be sure they will loose the part of Kashmir which they have been forcefully occupying. And India will no longer make the mistake of having any mercy on them to continue with their misplaced adventures. They will not be left with a single piece of armour to defend themselves from local thugs either.

The BBC seems it’s not worthy to report this. We can’t have British people thinking negative thoughts of Pakistan(and by extension those who have swam to Britain). I mean they get enough bad press with the Grooming Gangs that the MSM hates to mention and their love of Suicide Bombing.
