Our followers ‘must live in peace until strong enough to wage jihad’

Times Online reported One of the world’s most respected Deobandi scholars believes that aggressive military jihad should be waged by Muslims “to establish the supremacy of Islam” worldwide.

If a non Muslim said that he would be branded an Islamophobe, but we see that is really their objective.

Justice Muhammad Taqi Usmani argues that Muslims should live peacefully in countries such as Britain, where they have the freedom to practise Islam, only until they gain enough power to engage in battle.

And if Britain is smart it will push them out before they get that strong.

His views explode the myth that the creed of offensive, expansionist jihad represents a distortion of traditional Islamic thinking.

Mr Usmani, 64, sat for 20 years as a Sharia judge in Pakistan’s Supreme Court. He is an adviser to several global financial institutions and a regular visitor to Britain. Polite and softly spoken, he revealed to The Times a detailed knowledge of world events and his words, for the most part, were balanced and considered. He agreed that it was wrong to suggest that the entire nonMuslim world was intent on destroying Islam.

And the converse is also not true, but there certainly is a very vocal part of the Muslim world that is focused on world domination.

Yet this is a man who, in his published work, argues the case for Muslims to wage an expansionist war against nonMuslim lands.

Mr Usmani’s justification for aggressive military jihad as a means of establishing global Islamic supremacy is revealed at the climax of his book, Islam and Modernism. The work is a polemic against Islamic modernists who seek to convert the entire Koran into “a poetic and metaphorical book” because, he says, they have been bewitched by Western culture and ideology.

Whereas he has eebn bewiched by the idea that "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

Weasel Zippers blogged This fits right in with current dhimmified Europe. Countries like France and Britain, whose indigenous birth rates are negative, while their Muslim population is exploding due to extremely high birth rates and immigration. This raises another question, will we have to bail out Europe again? This time it won't be from German Nazi's, it will be from the Islamic ones...
