Imam's throat slit for saying peace prayers

Imam's throat slit for saying peace prayers

The details of this news report are horribly sketchy.

Here are the meatiest of the story's paragraphs:

DANWAKOTE (RAJOURI), DECEMBER 27: Piqued over the peace prayers at the local Jamia Masjid in non-descript hamlet of Danwakote in Rajouri district, militants last night abducted and slit the throat of the Imam of the mosque, sparking off a huge protest demonstration in the area.

Demanding visit of human rights organisation to the area, protesters said, “The killing of Imam has exposed the militants’ claim of carrying out jehad and their so-called sympathy with Muslims of the area.”


Khalil Ahmad was in a state of shock. He said from the dress and the chaste Punjabi language that gunmen spoke, it seemed that they were from Pakistan.

The take-home lesson is: Never forget what Islam and Jihad mean, and they will do to you what they did to the imam if you drop your guard. Islam is what Islam is. It is what it has always been and always will be. This ritual killing of the imam was classic jihadi in style and totally Islamic in meaning, namely killing to prevent peace.

In this Christmas season, good will to all men should not extend to those of Islam. Believe me, they have no good will for you or me.
