This is no laughing matter. If not confronted, the malady of Ghazwa-e-Hind is bound to erupt the way ISIS and al-Qaida did. And today even the most educated and liberal Islamic cleric dare not denounce this path as a medieval concoction that has no basis in Islam or the Quran.

We ordinary Canadians may feel protected from the Baghdadis and Bin Ladens of the world, but it is worth noting that it’s difficult to find a single Islamic cleric or so-called scholar to reject let alone condemn either this doctrine of death or the notion of ‘armed jihad’ as a concept.

Canadians need to know more about this insidious doctrine of Islam’s ‘end-of-times’ wars on India and Europe, which will be the precursor to the ‘final journey’ of all humankind into the afterlife.

So, what exactly is Ghazwa-e-Hind?

It is based on a supposed utterance of Prophet Muhammad, recorded at least a hundred years after his death. which calls on Muslims to rally behind Jesus after his resurrection in Jerusalem from where he will lead an attack on Rome and Christianity while destroying Europe, while sending an army towards India to destroy Hindus as a people and the eradication of Hinduism from Hindustan (India). This, the clerics claim, will be a precursor to the Islamic desire for the end of times.

Islamic clerics – you can find many of their speeches, in English, online – say this is a duty for Muslims. Sheikh Imran Hosien uses his lecture about ‘Ghazwa-e-Hind’ – available on YouTube – not only to spread hatred against Hindus, but also against Jews and Israel while provoking the Pakistan Army to be even more radical and anti-India than they already are, taunting them to go further.
