Here yet again the Islamic State refuses to accept the conventional wisdom among the political and media elites in the West, that it has nothing whatsoever to do with Islam. Why this misunderstanding of Islam is so widespread and stubbornly persistent, authorities have not explained.
“Online Propaganda of Islamic State calls for Jihad in India,” New Delhi Times, July 6, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
The propaganda magazine ‘Voice of Hind’, is the Islamic State’s tool to gain a foothold in India by eulogizing Jihad and violent extremism.
Through its online publications and propaganda material, the Islamic State has made multiple clarion calls to its supporters for carrying out terror attacks in India. The major source among these is ‘The Voice of Hind’, an English-language magazine published and distributed online by the ISIS supporters in India. Al-Qitaal Media Center, a pro-ISIS media outlet, and Junudul Khilafah al-Hind were behind the launch of this magazine.
The first issue of ‘The Voice of Hind’ was released in late February to coincide with President Donald Trump’s visit to India. It featured Mahmood Paracha, a senior lawyer accused of inciting communal hatred in the past, on its cover page. The first issue of the magazine also stated that there is no place for nationalism in Islam, and that India’s Muslims should join the Caliphate instead. The issue eulogised few alleged IS fighters from India who have died, including one Huzaifa al-Bakistani, whose name (as a pseudonym) appeared in investigations conducted by Indian law enforcement agencies as that of an online recruiter, followed by Shafi Armar (known as Yusuf al-Hindi), a former Indian Mujahideen member.
The second issue of the magazine was released on March 24, that urged the IS “supporters” in India to carry out strikes and exploit the preoccupation of the Forces in their fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. The issue called the COVID-19 as a “punishment of Allah” and called “Knights of the Tawheed (Oneness)” to attack police and military with a “sword, knife or even a rope”, even when they are performing their duties during the COVID-19 pandemic. The magazine also included an old propaganda message from a Kashmiri IS terrorist, Abu Hamza al-Kashmiri who was killed in 2018….
The statement also identified the main terrorist responsible for the attack as Abu Khalid al-Hindi, suggesting that he was likely from India. The fourth and fifth edition of the magazine was published in May and June 22, respectively that further glorified the IS ideology and made calls for jihad against the Indian state. In between the fourth and the fifth issue, the IS published a 17-page “lockdown special” agenda online, on the cover featuring photos of surgical-masked individuals and a temperature check, declaring that “it’s time for kuffar (disbelievers) to fall”. The special edition mentions that in a diseased world, supporters should “stay firm and be ready to launch a severe attack on the enemies of Allah’s religion who are embroiled in a fight against the disease brought about by Allah’s rage against them”. “COVID-19 has plagued the disbelievers and it is time to make it worse … believers can wreak havoc on disbelievers by spreading the disease among them so that they are forced to bow down before Allah’s rule before they are wiped out from the Earth,” the article continues, adding that “every brother and sister, even children, can contribute to Allah’s cause by becoming the carriers of this disease and striking the colonies of the disbelievers, wherever they find them”. They claimed that “no disease can harm even a hair of a believer”….

The Islamic State believe that to strengthen Islam in Afghanistan, new level of Jihad must be fought in India in such places where the Indian Army have some kind of strength among the people. As per the observation of the Caliphate, level of Indian Islam must increase in the UK which will help to increase returnees in Scandinavia.
Cicero says
The Muslim community in India must be heeding the call since during lockdown attendees at the Tablighi Jamaat conference in Delhi including foreigners refused to comply with lockdown and fanned out all over India to spread COVID . In the Muslim dominated neighbourhoods they took the ISIS call to heart and abused cursed attacked and stoned medical staff who visited and were trying to carry out health care amongst them.
They took the instructions of their Islamic masters so seriously that vegetable and fruit sellers were discovered having urinated on their produce before hawking it around Hindu
Neighbourhoods ( and yes there are segregated neighbourhoods along religious lines which are being replicated in the UK )

Have the Hindus (for lack of a better word indicating India’s nationals) and Pakistanis forgotten the initial reason for dividing their countries after British rule? This link is a refresher. https://theconversation.com/how-the-partition-of-india-happened-and-why-its-effects-are-still-felt-today-81766. India better take its defence seriously. If they get weak-kneed old demons will come back to haunt them.

I would like to hear from our Islamic friend ‘ELI’ on this topic … tell us that it’s un-Islamic to wish illness on the kufaar and provide proof from Shari-law websites. Thank you.

So would I, Mortimer. ELI regularly whitewashes the horrors of Islam, and pretends that Infidels concerned about Jihad are foolish. He tends to avoid stories like this one for just that reason.

ISIS calls for jihad against India: “Believers can wreak havoc on disbelievers by spreading the disease among them”
……………………
Yet another call for pious Muslims to infect Infidels and spread suffering and death.
God, I hate Islam.

Islam has waged Jihad against greater India (Bharatha Khanda of Arya Varsha) for a thousand years. The only novelty is the bio weapon contributed by China. But this too has been recommended from Islamic pulpits all over India since three months:

Islam is the most vile of all religions on the planet. The fanatical believers are drawn to the perverted message of “Allah” to his “Prophet” Mohammed. No other religion has caused so much division and caused so many deaths in the history of the world, and yet our naive, corrupt, cowardly politicians expect us to fully accept this religion as one of peace. Nothing is further from the truth of course, but the sheer terror felt by the threatened politicians prevents them from thinking clearly and acting in the proper manner to combat this destructive pseudo-religion. I for one will willingly die on the streets fighting rather than live under Islam and Sharia in a free country. If the MSM and media platforms were to take courage and allow free speech on their platforms instead of heavily censoring what people actually think, they will be surprised at just how many people don’t want Islam and don’t believe the rubbish about Islam being a “religion of peace”. We all know it’s nonsense. We will never become Dhimmis, we will never be ruled by Islam. Have some courage, take a poll and see what the result is!!!!!

Your Muslim doctor is a sleeper. Does he wake up when he writes your prescription?
