'Who says Osama Bin Laden was a terrorist?', Leaders of Indian Muslims ask

Who is a terrorist? The one who is involved in acts of terrorism.

The definition of terrorism is: "There is no universally agreed, legally binding, criminal law definition of terrorism. Common definitions of terrorism refer only to those violent acts which are intended to create fear (terror), are perpetrated for a religious, political or ideological goal, deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants (civilians), and are committed by non-government agencies."  (according to Wikipedia)

This is fair definition and enough to incriminate Islamic God 'Allah' and his 'Prophet Mohammad' as terrorists as following passages suggest:

When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.(SHAKIR; 8.12)

And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allâh) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allâh Alone [in the whole of the world]. But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allâh), then certainly, Allâh is All-Seer of what they do. (Al-Hilali; 8.39)

Allah's Apostle said: "I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle, and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform a that, then they save their lives an property from me except for Islamic laws and then their reckoning (accounts) will be done by Allah."(Sahih Bukhari; vol 1, book 2, # 25)

Above passages should give some insight in to what Islam is really; remember that I am not saying Islam is calling for complete obliteration of all non Muslims but, it wants to impose Islamic superiority over all other religions by making non Muslims pay Jizya and live like second class citizens as below passages suggests:

It is He Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad SAW) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islâm), to make it superior over all religions even though the Mushrikûn (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh) hate (it). (Al-Hilali; 9.033)

Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allâh, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allâh and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islâm) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.(Al-Hilali; 9.29)

That is precisely, Osama said, "What are we calling you to, and what do we want from you? The first thing that we are calling you to is Islam...." (here)

Islamists are not hiding their purpose of their fighting i.e. whole world being ruled under sharia law. They justify their actions, violent or non violent, on the basis of teachings from Koran and traditions of Prophet Mohammad, just like presented passages (above) say. But it is us who are not listening to what Islamists and terrorists are saying, thinking that terrorists represent a perversion of Islam and are a tiny fraction of Muslims. Views of Osama Bin Laden or any other Islamist perfectly fit in to main stream Islam.

On other hand, having seen Osama Bin Laden saying he was fighting for Islamic cause and with justifications from verses from Koran, aren't those, who are supporting him in any manner, Islamic extremists?

'Who says Osama was a terrorist?' 

The most wanted terrorist of the world, Osama bin Laden's killing by American operatives in Pakistan has not pleased all in India. A section of prominent Indian Muslim leaders have come to question the claim that Laden was a terrorist. 

As the news broke of Osama bin Laden's death in an American operation in Abbotabad in Pakistan, Muslim organisations in India initially reacted with incredulity, citing US operations in Tora Bora as a precedent where claims of Osama's death had later been proved to be false. 

It took statements from home minister P Chidambaram and Pakistani MP Sherry Rehman to convince them of the veracity of these reports. Once the news sank in, the prominent Muslim leaders said that Bin Laden was definitely not a terrorist but a one-time American ally with whom relations had soured because he had lost his utility. 

Does this mean that our home minister called these 'secular' and Islamic leaders to tell them it is all real? I will not be surprised if he did. I am just looking for what Mulayam Singh Yadav said on this?

Syed Ahmed Bukhari, Imam of Jama Masjid said: "When did any court of law in the world convict Laden of terrorist activities. It is only America's assertion and that of the NATO that he was one. Why should we believe them. As for the government of India's reactions, I would want to know their views on what is happeninhg in Palestine even now when thousands of Muslims are being killed by Israel with the American help. The killing is a continuation of the US interference in Libya, Iraq and Palestine." 

Thousands are being killed? That is what they preach to gullible masses. This pathetic 'devil' Bukhari will not be accepting any other court than a sharia court. One can only imagine how many, by now, Congress leaders have rushed to this 'devil' to explain Govt.'s position (like they did in the past, here and here).

Maulana Arshad Madani, president of one faction of the Jamiat-ulama-i-Hind said: "Who created Osama? Americans did to exterminate the Russians. Now that their need has been fulfilled they term Osama who was at one point their best friend, a terrorist. It is symptomatic of the American way of functioning."

Giving weapons does not amount to saying fight and bring the world under Islamic law which is the aim of Osama and his ilk like Bukhari and Madani.

There was however some resentment about the fact that he was in Pakistan. Imam Bukhari says it proves the contention that ISI gives shelter to terrorists. "I am not saying Osama was a terrorist but the fact that outfits like JEM and Let have bank accounts in the US show that the Us and ISI jointly sponsor the acts of terrorism in India."

So, he makes him self eligible for for all those invitations to secular meetings by saying something on ISI! Terrorists having bank accounts in US shows how stealthy and deadly they are and nature of extent of their reach. But, morons can not get it.

Never mind this kind of statements or policy statements by our supposedly secular Muslims leaders; our political leaders and media will continue to hobnob with people like Bukhari and Madani. Much worse is, even our so called intellectuals and secular-liberals will never have any problem of identifying with and working with such elements as thy did in the case of Ayodhya where they literally associated with an ideology which gave rise to Taliban.
