Question
Please comment on the groups fighting in Kashmir. Are they fighting a Jihad? The Muslims in Kashmir are oppressed by the Indian rulers.
Answer
Undoubtedly Muslims are oppressed and brutalized in Kashmir as well as in some other countries. The oppression meted out by the kuffaar is actually a form of Allah's punishment for the gross evil and disobedience of Muslims. The Muslims in Kashmir have abandoned true Islam in the same way as the Muslims of Palestine and elsewhere. There are several groups, all irreligious, fighting in the name of Islam whilst there is very little of Islam in them. They do not have the haziest idea of the meaning of Jihad although they blow the trumpet of Jihad. It is the same everywhere – in Palestine, Syria, Iraq, and wherever they are fighting in the name of Jihad. They are shockingly ignorant of the objective of Jihad.
