THE PERTINENT POINT TO PERCEIVE
THE PERTINENT POINT TO PERCEIVE
Political mileage for some, theological compulsion for most. Scriptural injunction inciting violence against the kāfir, a familiar feature in Islamic history since inception and continuing to the day.
Islam is not a religion as such as we understand it in Sanātan dhārmic terms but is a Deen, a whole 'civilisational' package and a political movement majorly with a high emphasis on jihād. So, political mileage will easily arise out of it as it did during Partition. But that is not the primary point to perceive. Unless the trinity of Islamic scriptures, namely, the Qur'an, the Hadees and the Sira, are read even to a small extent, the motivation behind kāfir-killing, converting, looting, possessing kāfir women by the right hand and holding them as sex-slaves will be not adequately understood. There is a core theological content to it all which given suitable circumstances surfaces time and again and will continue to do so till the whole world has been Islamised. This is the inspiration, the idea, the intent and the action thereof that fuels jihād against the gullible kāfir entertaining rosy illusions about these dastardly deeds.
They delude and deceive the infidel with Al Taqqiah when in a tight corner and dare desecration and destruction when in majority. If 1400 years of Islamic history is not a pointer, nothing ever will.
Indolence in learning about Islamic theological leanings, especially at a time of easy internet access to its doctrines, can never quicken consciousness in this regard but a modicum of sincere quest will surely illumine.
For 1300 years and more we have suffered the horrors of Islam and yet the familiar apologies come, deferring correct appraisal of and judgement thereof on Islam's core content, compulsions, intentions, actions et al.
I can go about writing reams on this but to what avail when people are happy to witness the fire rage on in the neighbourhood but ease in their armchair imagining that the carrier breeze will blow the other way. 🕉 Hindu!
