Double standards in Pakistan’s anti-terror campaign exposed, Radical Islamism and Jihad, NewAgeIslam.com

Radical Islamism and Jihad
Double standards in Pakistan’s anti-terror campaign exposed

Like Maulana Mohammad, Saeed often unleashed stinging attacks on the state of Pakistan. Pakistan’s rulers, he said in a March 2007 speech, “to reassure America and to prove that they are enlightened and moderate, continue to take weird and reckless measures in utter contempt of the safety, security, and well being of their people.”

In several speeches reported on the Jamaat-ud-Dawa website during that year, Saeed expressed support for the Taliban. Pakistan’s rulers were, during one sermon delivered at the Jamia al-Qudsia, urged to “stop fighting the war of the enemies of Islam and Muslims in Waziristan and other places.” He demanded that Pakistan stop “trying to please the Christians and the Jews.”

In another veiled attack on the former President, Pervez Musharraf, Saeed asserted that “Muslim rulers have disappointed the Ummah [worldwide Muslim community]. It is time to wage jihad against them. They are not Muslims. They are the agents of Jews.”

His lieutenant, Hafiz Abdul Rehman Makki, launched an even more acidic attack on retired General Musharraf at the Madrasa Ayesha, near Rawalpindi. Pakistan, he asserted, “is ruled by Ahmads” a reference to a heterodox sect officially proscribed in Pakistan, and long subject to persecution by Islamists. “Most of the top Generals and bureaucrats,” he continued, “are Ahmadi.”

In order to counter this pernicious influence, Makki called for “jihad and martyrdom to be made part of the curriculum. They should be taught in textbooks at school, college and university levels.”

Radical Islamism and Jihad
Hip Hop Jijad: Islamism in Britain. Are America's Muslims Becoming Radicalized?

In the UK, where "Dirty Kuffar" was recorded, Islamists have had a big influence on the youth. Both government and police are concerned about this development. They believe that this means the risk of terrorist attacks is now greater. In September three young Londoners were convicted of conspiracy to commit murder in a plot involving explosives attacks. They had recorded so-called "martyrdom videos", films in which terrorists admit to carrying out their attacks.

One of these "martyrdom videos" promises: "There will be a wave of martyrdom operations. Your countries will be bombarded. You will experience daily suffering in this world and ever worse in the afterlife! My one wish is that I could come back to life and do the same thing again. And again, and again, till people finally come to their senses and realise that it is better not to pick a fight with the Muslims."

"Muslim Boys" and hip hop poses

The manner in which these young men pose for the camera has little to do with Islamic custom, more to do with rap posturing and inner-city lifestyles, and in London there are strange overlaps to be seen. An infamous South London street gang is known as the "Muslim Boys" and social workers report that young men who till recently had dealt drugs and led a "gangster" lifestyle have suddenly left for Afghanistan to fight for the Taliban.
