France Terror Attack: 'This insidious disease has a source

Excerpts

Subsequent to his confession that there is a deep link between the extremist Islamist theology and terror, the current Egyptian government of Abdul Fattah al-Sisi has banned the books and videos of all the Salafist theologians such as Ibn Taymiyyah, Ibn Abdul Wahhab, Sheikh Hasan al-Banna, Syed Muhammad Qutub and Shaikh Ibn Baaz and the ilk. Regrettably, while these hardcore Salafi theologians have been banned in a Muslim country, they are being propagated on a secular soil like India, by their fervent followers like Dr Zakir Naik. In his latest press conference, he went on record referring to some of these scholars as the authentic Islamic scholars who justified the suicide booming as ‘a tactic for war’.
Most deplorably, even in this grim situation, the radical Islamist preachers across the world are not willing to come out of their narrowed worldview and exclusivist narrative of Islam. As cases in point, Dr. Zakir Naik of India, Boro Hujur of Bangladesh, Shaikh Yusuf al-Qardawi, the leader of the global political Islamists and the ilk are still tacitly supporting the terrorists by providing them with weird theological justifications. For instance, suicide bombing — an easy tool of the global jihadists today — has been endorsed by the influential Indian Islamist-Salafist preacher, Dr. Zakir Naik though as war tactic. In his recent press conference which he organized to refuse the charge that his sermons had inspired terror activity, including the Dhaka attack, he stated, “Suicide bombings are permitted if a country is at war and is directed by a commander”.
:
When the global preachers of the Salafism like Dr Zakir Naik are still hell-bent on the rationalization of the grave terror tool of suicide bombing, strictly clinging to their theological books and thoughts, there is no point in a knee-jerk condemnation of the terror incidents.
A violent jihadist does not spare a moment to rethink his decision before engaging in the wanton and virulent killing of innocent lives, especially when inspired by an intolerant theology and emboldened by any religious justification of his attack.
:
Given this, the Nice attack is a reminder for us to call a spade a spade. Growing terrorism in the world is not just a law and order problem. It is a crystal-clear ideological battle that has deep roots in an extremist theology.
