Jihad is not sword for bloodshed – Mufti Maksat Toktomushev


Bishkek (AKIpress) - Jihad is not a sword for bloodshed, Mufti Maksat Toktomushev said on December 22 during the discussion of the Kyrgyz public policy, which was held in Osh.

There is a complicated socio-political and religious situation in Islamic world now, according to him.

"In particular, the existing religious divisions between Sunni and Shia have led to civil war in Syria. Now, our society is concerned that religious bigots participate in this war, and some of them are from Kyrgyzstan. The religious bigots make people participate in terrorism acts. Unfortunately, some residents of Kyrgyzstan and representatives of the towns' mosques are trying to create chaos in the country, calling for a caliphate through social media, religious pamphlets, books," Toktomushev explained.

He said that jihad means serving one's country and parents. "People, who do not understand the real meaning of jihad, call for destabilization. The war in Syria occurred due to the global political games," the Mufti said.

The main goal is to save lost youth of Kyrgyzstan, representative of the State Agency for Religious Affairs Kurbanaly Uzakov added.

"Disseminating correct religious ideas and attitudes in public policy should involve local authorities, municipalities, and state structures," he said.

Today, there is a lot of destabilizing information in media, particularly, in the Internet, Maksat Toktomushev noted. “In this regard, we ask Kyrgyz authorities to solve this issue,” he said.

Do you have a guilty conscience? After all, what Aris wrote was very informative to the readers. Since Aris was brought up in the Middle East and still has many friends of all religions with whom she corresponds, she better than you knows more about the different religions.

Culture and Creamers


Jihad always seems like the Islamic version of the Christian Crusades.

When Western nations find themselves in politically confounding scenarios such as Vietnam, people talk about them like they were affairs of the heart, but when Sunni-Shia conflicts escalate and people talk about jihads, they reference dramatic notions about religious dangers and fanaticism and hellfire.

Perhaps because Islam is so overtly stern, people ascribe all sorts of drama upon it, and maybe not even Muslims want that kind of attention.

During the Algerian Revolution, Muslim freedom-fighters recruited veiled Islamic women to carry/smuggle messages and items for them. This defied standard codes of conduct regarding Muslim gender values, but the Algerians claimed the compromise/sacrifice was worth it to out the undesirable colonial government of France from their country.

If we keep the dialogue ornamented with populist concerns, then we can understand the modern social value of relevant culture-idolatry meditation Hollywood (USA) movies such as "American Psycho" (2000) and "Syriana" (2005).
