“Anyone killed by the US is a martyr, even if it is a dog”

Source: Jihad Watch.

“Allah has bought from the believers their selves and their possessions against the gift of Paradise; they fight in the way of Allah; they kill, and are killed…” (Qur’an 9:111)

Since martyrs in Islam are those who “fight in the way of Allah” and “kill and are killed,” this declaration amounts to a call to murder Americans wherever and whenever possible, at least in Pakistan.

“Anyone killed by US is a ‘martyr’: Fazlur Rehman,” from the Express Tribune, November 5 (thanks to Block Ness):

ISLAMABAD: Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, while talking to the media in Islamabad on Tuesday, stated that anyone killed by the United States, even if it is a dog, is a martyr, Express News reported.  He said this when he was questioned regarding the death of the late Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) leader Hakimullah Mehsud who was killed by a US drone strike on November 1.

  1. It speaks the hatred Mullah has for USA. You can well imagine how he treats weaker segments of the Pakistani society not in agreement with his religious philosophy. Recently he stormed with his fiery speech the city of Rabwah Pakistan which is the headquarter of International Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. His speech is worth listening.

  2. The Muslims lost the military war against the West some 100 or 200 years ago, both in the Ottoman Empire and the Mughal Empire.

    It seems the news has not reached some of the Mullahs, despite the two centuries of on going humiliation.

    Those who keep fighting and do not join the Jihad with pen of the Muslim Times, are only hurting themselves and the fellow Muslims and the cause of Islam.

  3. I think it is more than just a hatred for USA. Like the politicians and the establishment in the West, these psychopathic Mullahs have also mastered the art of Machiavellianism and understand the public’s mentality and ignorance quite well. They make such stupid statements and observe public reactions to assess how far they have succeeded in making their followers duped and indoctrinated. They are succeeding.

    Such statements will never be tolerated by Muslims who have knowledge about real Quranic principles and they would never endorse such diabolical individuals as their leaders.

    The sad part is that such religious leaders are the product of a society who call themselves Muslims, but have failed to grasp the meaning of Haqooq-ul-Ebad that incorporates respect for human dignity, respect for human rights, especially women and minorities, respect for justice and respect for the rule of the law. By this time every Pakistani must have seen at least one video of Taliban beheading people, and if Pakistanis still have ambivalent soft corner for these Islamists, then it only means that they are all on the course of self-annihililation. It is a sad story.

  4. He is a political person and that is his political statement. It should not be taken as religious advice.

    Let us say that there is a freedom of speech and maulvi sahib can say what he likes, but is there really any freedom of speech?
    The most talented and law abiding citizens of Pakistan (Ahmadis) are denied the freedom of speech. They go to jail if they speak even a word “Assalam Aliakum”.

    The Pakistan society is really ignorant and those who are not ignorant, they are coward. There is no law against non-Ahmadis to speak the truth. But still, Nobody dares to speak out against injustice. So how the matters will be corrected? How the society will be saved?
