Kozhikode: The Islamic State (IS) has exhorted Muslims in India and Pakistan to award death punishment to those who insult Prophet Muhammad.
The latest issue of Voice of Hind, the India-specific mouthpiece of the IS, said the trend of insulting the Prophet is increasing in both countries and it needs to be dealt with ‘utmost harshness.’
Citing the incidents in Bengaluru and in some places in Pakistan, the online magazine said ‘the kuffars (infidels) do not understand any language other than that of force.’
Another article compared Babri masjid to Al Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem.
It said the situation in India is not much different from that of Palestine. It said when the Babri masjid was demolished there were loud protests from every corner of the country, but there is utmost silence when a temple is being constructed at the site of a mosque.
It said that even the ‘so-called’ Muslim leaders have asked the community to accept the court’s verdict. It is the result of the desensitizing process which made the community accept the aggressions.
The ‘evil’ scholars have become a tool in the hands of the ‘tyrants’ who oppress the Muslims. To instil confidence in the minds of potential IS attackers in India, the magazine said the ‘enemy’ is really weak and does not know how to defend itself from even ‘amateur attackers.’
Raking up the controversy involving Asia Bibi, who was accused of blasphemy in Pakistan, the magazine said the government allowed her to leave the country safely instead of punishing her. It also congratulated the accused who murdered Kamlesh Tiwari of ‘Hindu Samaj Party’ who allegedly insulted the Prophet.
