Words Jihad and Jihadi have been in abundant use for the negative purposes from last two decades in particular. They have been closleyl linked to the word terrorism and violence, done by section of Muslims here and there. This global use of word is particularly a post 9/11 phenomenon. Just to recapitulate after the WTC was hit by two aeroplanes; the building sunk leading the death of nearly three thousand innocent people. The victims belonged to most countries and religions. In the aftermath; Osama bin Laden called it Jihad. American media coined the word Islamic terrorism since then. Most of the acts indulged in by Muslim terror groups have been labelled under this title. This; irrespective of the fact that many an Islamic Scholars, many a Muslim clerics like Maulanas of Deoband and Barelvi, stating that Islam does not approve of violence against innocent people. The words have stuck.
This has also beoame one more weapon in the hands of communal sectarian elements. Apart from the mainstream media social media has been delving this with gay abandon using these words in a derogatory way. The lap media also called Godi media, which is an important part of the opinion making against Muslims has been using it day in and day out.
Recently (March 11, 2020), Mr. Sudhir Chaudhary, the Editor-in-Chief of Zee channel in a show went on to the limits of this misrepresentation by showing a chart and classifying Jihad into various categories, Love, Jihad, Land Jihad and latest in series being Corona Jihad in the wake of Tablighi Jamaat event. Mr Chowdhary concluded that all these types of Jihad are being done to weaken India. Surely, these types of programs have been increasing and intensifying Hate against Muslims and Jihad.
Unlike most of the times, this time around a complaint was filed against the said editor, a FIR was filed and lo and behold the editor’s tune changed. In the next program he talked respectfully about the word Jihad! The tone and tenor changed. Was it a late realization or the fear of facing criminal action which made him change the tune, he alone should know, but that’s another chapter to the story?
As such jihad is by and large used as synonym for violence, terrorism. This is very much contrary to the its use in Koran.. Islamic scholar Asghar Ali Engineer argues that its use in Koran is multilayered. It stands for ‘utmost striving’ and has nothing to do with violence against innocents. As per him the concept of Jihad is far above violence. Those indulging in power games have used it as a cover for expanding power and called it as Holy War. This is very similar to the use of word Crusade by Christian Kings and Dharm Yudh by Hindu kings.
A deeper and more rational study of Koran and Hadith bring forth the real meaning of the term. Sufi’s who were away from the power struggle and focussed on spiritual aspects of religion like Bhakti Saints or liberation theologians, unfolded the deeper meaning of the term. Engineer points out that “it is for this reason that they describe war as jihad-e-Asghar and jihad to control one’s greed and selfish desires as jihad-e-Akbar (Great jihad)” (On Multi Layered Concept of Jihad, in A Modern Approach to Islam, Dharmaram , Page 26, 2003, Bangalore)
The reference to Jihad comes in Koran over 40 times, mostly referring to Jihad-e-Akbar, striving to overcome personal greed and selfishness. The real transformation of the word Jihad in popular perceptions and Chaudhary is the extreme example of that, takes place during the training of Mujahideen in the few specially set up Madarssas in Pakistan. This was initiated and coordinated by America in the decade of 1980s, when the Russian Army occupied Afghanistan. That was the time American forces were totally demoralised due to their humiliating defeat in Vietnam, at the hands of Vietnamese people.
To confront the Russian army, US planned to join the anti Russian forces. For this with the help of extremist Salafi version of Islam, they promoted the radical tendencies within a section of Muslims. The brain washing of the Asian Muslim youth as Mujahedeen to Taliban took place in few Pakistani Madrassas, totally funded by America. For this funding opium trade was also put into operation. The brainwashing module designed in Washington incorporated many components which also distorted the concept of Kafir, and created Hate against communists. Communists were labelled as Kafirs (Non believers) and so killing them was presented as Jihad. Getting killed while doing such an act was to be rewarded with entry pass to Jannat with 72 virgins waiting for those embracing this path.
America further went on to promote Taliban and Al Qaeda, which joined anti Russian forces, leading to defeat of Russian forces. Mahmood Mamdani in his book ‘Good Muslim Bad Muslim’ makes an inference based on CIA documents that America invested 8 thousand million dollars and also supplied seven tonnes of armaments, including the most sophisticate missiles to these forces. One also recalls the Al Qaeda leaders’ visit to US, White house. In the Press meet the then US President Ronald Regan, introduced them as being the equivalents of founding fathers of United States as they are fighting against the evil of communism.
Now of course the situation has taken its own turn and nearly three decades after their inception the same elements, later followed by ISIS and IS acted like Frankenstein’s monsters, killing Muslims in large numbers. It is estimated that over 70000 Pakistanis have been killed due to the action of these groups, who were propped up and nurtured by US to enhance its control over the oil wells of West Asia.
The likes Sudhir Choudhary can merrily propagate the Hate using the term Jihad. That such elements can also be partly controlled through the process of law is a part of great learning after the FIR filed against him. One hopes that such hate filled programs will come to a halt once we combat them ideologically and after resorting to the provisions of Indian Constitution.

Inna lillahi wainna ilahi rajioon... May Allah grant them Jannah if they are really innocents...
No doubt, its pre planned MURDER not encounter...
Saffron police have to answer below questions
1. Is only one police there to guard them? where are the other police?
2. Why only these 8 person escaped from Jail?
3. How they used bed sheet to cross high wall?
4. How is it possible that they were made encounter on same spot all together?
5. If any person throw stones at police then encounter will be solution?
Purely this police have pre planned to make murder of Muslims... We cannot call him as terrorists because till now no court has proved their status to terror activities... Because of saffron police & politicians these innocents were fixed purposefully to make drama.... For above case need probe against the police who made this murder & if he found guilty then he should be hanged without any delay.....
May Allah protect innocent muslims who are arrested in false cases...
Well planned Surgical encounter.....
as per Mr. Parikker' (Defense Minister) previous certificate to RSS will take response ...
Ache din once again....
planned encounter!!!
Unanswered questions:
1. 8 so called \SIMI\" members was in one cell which is against protocol.
2.Before sunset all cell must be close and key should be at jail office, how come they came out of jail?
3.Highly secured jail got only 1 officer to monitor and only 1 officer got attacked? Prisoners can broke jail by attacking one officer??????
4.Once broke the jail, other prisoners were quiet while they were moving around..!
5. Highly secured jail doesn't have CCTV and only 1 officer to monitor?
6.Using spoon as weapon they came out of cell and killed officer..!
7. Why Police kills those 8 members even after they are unarmed? If they had arms who gave them within hour? How they got sports shoe and well cloths? Why don't shot on leg when they are unarmed?
8.If they are dangerous terrorist or criminals, they would have spread different way when free bird.
LKG students also can guess this is well scripted and well planned murder by Police to divert Vyapam and Failure of Govt."
@Rajesh
Even a lay man would say its totally a fake encounter. No need to celebetate. The communal govt has did it on the eve of deepavali. Very simple to understand.
Anything can happen when people who are responsible for murdering thousands i
Scripted encounter.
Sure. Planned Encounter..
Mashallah ... what a shot so 72x8 virgins please book for this guys ...:) hip hip hurray ... kindly enlighten us who allots babes in heaven :) not a loss for nation . so party time as muslim terrorists were killed . kudos to police for saving tax payers money .

Dear Ahmed
How much funds you have received from Sangh Parivar to post this comment ? Either you are an agent of RSS or with fake name posted the comment. Before commenting on Wahabi's try to study about Wahabis.
Bopanna.... when you feel Muslims are totally ungrateful wretches. then why are you eating the income of a muslim country and feeding your wife and children with that criminal income .... Why cant you leave saudi and serve the Indian army and feed the PAPI PET ( stomach ) of yourself, wife and children with dignified income by serving the army.....shame on you for the sake of hunger, you are ready to have any shit .....
Innalillhiwainnailahirajoon God will punish those who are guilty
Mandeyalli Bondillada Bopanna - Vishnu raped Tulasi Devi, was he a Muslim? Krishna raped 16,108 girls was he a Muslim? 5 Pandavas repeatedly raped Draupadi at the behest of Krishna - were they Muslims? Brahma raped his own daughter Saraswati - Was he a Muslim? Kunti Devi was raped by SURYA, YAMA, VAYU, INDRA were they Muslims? Madri was raped by ASHWINIS - were they Muslims? Vishnu was raped by Shiva to produce Ayyappa - homosexuals having a child- Hollywood too cant imagine this ...the list is endless....
Well done.. they killed innocent in the early morning. So this is totally acceptable ..NIA please go after PFI leaders and KFD .becoz of these groups fringe groups associated with sangh parivar unleash terror against innocent Muslims. Time has come to take firm action against PFI, KFD and other wahabist backed organisations.
For sure it is a pre planed act from police. What is the need of killing all 8 ? Did they counter attacked police with Guns? If not then what was the need to kill all? There is something behind this story.
There is no doubt, this is a planned murder. May Allah forgive the sin of all the eight brothers and bestow them Jannah In sha Allah.
This is 2016 and all can understand what is reality and what is drama.. Bopu what are you doing in KSA? YOu should join armed forces here instead of having bread and butter from the one who u hate..
No Doubt, fake encounter. Elections coming up in northern states. When surgical strikes drama subsides, we have this new story diverting people's attention from real issues.
CD, should be faster in updating its news . According to other news channels, it is claimed that these eight SIMI members were trying to ATTACK THE ARMED FORCES WITH SPOONS..!! Yes, you read it right with - SPOONS !
There a Rabid Sanghis in the comments section. Do not pay heed or respond.
cold blood murder. total 8+1 .
well planned drama. if properly investigated the truth will come out. truth ??? it is not possible??? in RSS controlled state.???
need supreme court to investigate the truth.
need to investigate by our ex judges like Mr. Santosh Hegde.
Bopanna had some bad experience while he is residing in K.S.A. He said something bad about muslims community because he was the victim of rape. Muslims raped him, killed him and pillaged his property. That was the reason for his frustration.
Only so called SIMI members got chance to escape highly secured Jail..!
Those don't have charges, will die in encounter. Those who are real terror like Aseemananda, Sadhvi gets bail.
Failure of Govt. cover up by scripted sensational news as gift of Diwali.
In Hyderabad also did the same last year prisoners died with hand cuff \ severe fight between Police and alleged terrorist in Police van\".
It happens when Encounter specialists ruling our country."
Bopanna defines Islam is the religion of peace and the way of life and he accepted that there are black sheeps in the community.. Being residing in saudi arabia he learn a lot about Islam. Hope he will practice more and one day he hill embrace it. May Allah give him hidayah.
Why muslims are being encountered.....there are many rss terrorists are in jail....why no encounter....strange....well planned....
Another Fake encounter................why to kill? because they were Muslims.......all these encounters are to Hide VYAPAM Scam.......
Ashwin........8 Muslims Escaped from Jail ......and thousand Fake Hindutwa Terrorists are happy ....
As per Muslims, terrorism has no religion. So why muzzies here are crying for them?
Well planed encounter, bopanna islam is the only way of life and peace,,,, study well, if you do not study you will be like bopal police, black heart and join hands with rss..
To complete the DRAMA 8 + 1 innocents were eliminated while real Terrorists are ruling the country.
this sounds strange to me . this is a plot where they were told to run and shot at them. we muslims are ready to die, any how we have to die today or tomorrow, if they are killed for false charges then they are martyrs.
and to Bopanna you are living in a muslim country did any muslim arabs kill any one for the sake of hindu religion. dont just bark like a dog
All hate speeches are given by your so called leaders of BD and VHP.
Total Conspiracy!!!
This is a planned Encounter, 100%
This has to happen one day when innocents are framed detained and languish for years without trials. On the other hand convicted terrorists like aseemanand, sadhvi, prohit and other gujarat 2002 murderers supposedly to be hanged by this time are either acquitting, getting bail from their respective BJP ruled states.
True followers of the Religion of \Peace\" indeed.
But the definition of \"Peace\" is this :\"Strike terror in the hearts of the Unbelievers....\"
Kill the Unbelievers (Hindus).
Rape the Unbelievers (Hindus)
Pillage their property
In short, Muslims are totally ungrateful wretches."
8 MUSLIM terrorists escaped from jail..
