Sri Lanka: authorities seek prominent chief Islamic cleric who justified Easter church bombings in internet broadcast

Authorities in Sri Lanka are searching for a Chief Islamic Cleric “of Vavuniya and Chettikulam divisional mosques” who released an internet video “justifying the Easter bomb attacks”. The cleric reportedly “cited an example from the life of Muhammad to justify the attack”. The global war on terror is rooted in Islamic doctrine. It is a core motivator. The cleric like scores of others recognizes it and preaches it.

Kill them wherever you find them” (Qur’an 2:191, 4:89); “Kill the idolaters wherever you find them. (Qur’an 9:5)

The jihad attack on the churches that killed almost 300 people and injured hundreds of others “is said to have close ties to National Tawheed Jamaat, the Islamic terror organisation suspected to be behind the Easter Sunday bombings.”

While Sri Lankan authorities are busy protecting mosques with thousands of army personnel for fear of retaliatory violence, authorities have shut down churches. Sri Lanka is being anything but effective in dealing with its jihad threat, demonstrating that it is not only ill-equipped to protect citizens against it, but has little will to do so. Sri Lanka was warned in advance about the church bombings by intelligence officials from India and failed to act on those warnings to protect the churches. The Sri Lankan archbishop Malcolm Ranjith also took Muslim envoys from jihad sponsoring states at their word who assured him that the jihad bombings had “no connection to Islam.”

“SL Police Launch Operation To Arrest Islamic Cleric Munajit Who Released A Video Clip Justifying Easter Terror Attack”, Swarajya Mag (Thanks to The Religion of Peace), April 26 2019:

A search operation has been launched to arrest a Maulvi (Chief Islamic Cleric) of Vavuniya and Chettikulam divisional mosques who had released a eight-minute long video clip via internet justifying the Easter bomb attacks on Sunday, Sri Lanka Mirror reported.

Vavuniya police announced that they plan to arrest the Maulvi for justifying the dastardly terror attack.

When as ISIS had claimed the responsibility of this attack, the Tamil speaking Maulvi Munajit, who wields considerable influence in Vavuniya region and has a significant social media footprint, released an incendiary video. Maulvi Munajit is said to have close ties to National Tawheed Jamaat, the Islamic terror organisation suspected to be behind the Easter Sunday bombings.

In the video, after a cursory mention about the victims, Maulvi Munajit cites an example from the life of Muhammed to justify the terror attack. Maulvi is heard saying that the attack is a consequence of Muslims losing their patience. He cites the example of Mohammed who kept quiet for the first 13 years of Islam despite intense persecution from Quraysh people but then launched the battle of Badr. Maulvi also had said in the video that to build an Islamic state is just thing and the struggle has just commenced for that

We need more people in this country telling the truth like this. - Tom
