Muslim Cleric Offers to Raise 500,000 JihadiYouths in India

Daft and dangerous: Muslim scholar’s plan for a militia to fight global jihad Hasan Suroor in Firstpost.com



I’m not sure if the name Maulana Syed Salman Hussaini Nadvi will ring a bell in many places. My own first reaction when I heard it was “Nadvi, who?”



But apparently he is a big cheese in Islamic circles. An influential theologian and author of numerous scholarly tomes in Urdu and Arabic, Nadvi is Dean of the Faculty of Shariah at Darul Uloom Nadwa, Lucknow, whose reputation as a premier institution of Islamic teaching ranks in the same class as Darul Uloom, Deoband. He is also a member of the All-India Muslim Personal Law Board and Aligarh Muslim University’s court, its highest decision-making body.



So, what he says matters and carries weight. It is important to stress this because what he has done has shocked even conservative Muslims. Nadvi has written a long and passionate letter (in Arabic!) to the Saudi government offering to raise a militia of 500,000 Sunni Muslim Indian youth as his contribution to a “powerful global Islamic army” he has proposed in order to fight Shia militants in Iraq and “help Muslims in need” elsewhere. The army would become part of a Caliphate that he wants Saudis to set up for the Muslim ummah, the international Muslim community.

Someone should encourage Nadvi to raise an Indian islamic militia of ~145 million - all of India's Sunni muslims - to go off to the Levant to try to kill their "brothers" in christoislamism there.

In fact, Nadvi should send all of Pakiland's (TSP-W+E) Sunni islamic content to the ME too. (Pity they can't take all the other types of subcontinental islamaniacs with them.)







Some data on the number of islamaniacs, and the numbers of Shias vs Sunnis:



pewforum.org/2009/10/07/mapping-the-global-muslim-population/

(Better to visit the link, since the maps and tables are useful for general knowledge)

A comprehensive demographic study of more than 200 countries finds that there are 1.57 billion Muslims of all ages living in the world today, representing 23% of an estimated 2009 world population of 6.8 billion.



While Muslims are found on all five inhabited continents, more than 60% of the global Muslim population is in Asia and about 20% is in the Middle East and North Africa. However, the Middle East-North Africa region has the highest percentage of Muslim-majority countries. Indeed, more than half of the 20 countries and territories1 in that region have populations that are approximately [color]95% Muslim or greater.[/color]



More than 300 million Muslims, or one-fifth of the world’s Muslim population, live in countries where Islam is not the majority religion. These minority Muslim populations are often quite large. India, for example, has the third-largest population of Muslims worldwide. China has more Muslims than Syria, while Russia is home to more Muslims than Jordan and Libya combined.



Of the total Muslim population, 10-13% are Shia Muslims and 87-90% are Sunni Muslims. Most Shias (between 68% and 80%) live in just four countries: Iran, Pakistan, India and Iraq.



These are some of the key findings of Mapping the Global Muslim Population: A Report on the Size and Distribution of the World’s Muslim Population, a new study by the Pew Research Center’s Forum on Religion & Public Life. The report offers the most up-to-date and fully sourced estimates of the size and distribution of the worldwide Muslim population, including sectarian identity.



Previously published estimates of the size of the global Muslim population have ranged widely, from 1 billion to 1.8 billion.2 But these commonly quoted estimates often have appeared without citations to specific sources or explanations of how the figures were generated.

* Map: World Distribution of Muslim Population

In short, # muslims:

Iran: 74 mill

Iraq: 30 mill

Afghanistan: 28 mill

Indonesia (#1): 203 mill

TSP-W (#2): 174

India (#3): 161

TSP-E (#4?): 145



(Iran was never a populous place... Even Egypt has almost 80 million muslims)





* Table at link: Countries with the Largest Number of Muslims

Two-thirds of all Muslims worldwide live in the 10 countries shown below. Of the 10 countries, six are in Asia (Indonesia, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Iran and Turkey), three are in North Africa (Egypt, Algeria and Morocco) and one is in Sub-Saharan Africa (Nigeria).

* Table/Pie-chart: Muslim Population by Region (groups Turkey into Asia, and all of the Pacific too, even though Indonesia is already in Asia and not the Pacific)

Living as Majorities and Minorities

While 80% of the world’s Muslims live in countries where Muslims are in the majority, significant numbers – about one-fifth of the world’s Muslim population – live as religious minorities in their home countries. Of the roughly 317 million Muslims living as minorities, about 240 million – about three-quarters – live in five countries: India (161 million), Ethiopia (28 million), China (22 million), Russia (16 million) and Tanzania (13 million). Two of the 10 countries with the largest number of Muslims living as minorities are in Europe: Russia (16 million) and Germany (4 million).

(In other words, India is plagued with the worst proportion of islamics of all these non-islamic nations.)



These minority populations are often quite large. For example, India, a Hindu-majority country, has the third-largest population of Muslims worldwide. The Muslim population of Ethiopia is about as large as that of Afghanistan. China has more Muslims than Syria; Russia is home to more Muslims than Jordan and Libya combined; and Germany has more Muslims than Lebanon.

* Table: Countries with the Largest Number of Muslims Living as Minorities



India is at the top of the list:

- India: 160,945,000 muslims - 13.4% of Indian population - 10.3% of all muslims in the world

- Just for comparison, second highest ranked is Ethiopia where the islamic content makes up only 1.8% of the muslims in the world.





Then comes this important section:

Sunni and Shia Populations

An overwhelming majority of Muslims are Sunnis, while an estimated 10-13% are Shias. This report estimates that there are between 154 million and 200 million Shia Muslims in the world today.

(Well, the report was probably written *before* ISIS went on their killing spree. So Shias in Iraq and hence the world is probably down now.)



Between 116 million and 147 million Shias live in Asia, representing about three-quarters of the world’s Shia population (note that Iran is included in the Asia-Pacific region). Meanwhile, nearly a quarter of the world’s Shias (36 million to 44 million) live in the Middle East-North Africa.4 Looked at in a different way, 12-15% of the Muslim population in the Asia-Pacific region is Shia, as is 11-14% of the Muslim population in the Middle East-North Africa region. The figures for Shias are generally given as a range because of the limitations in the secondary-source data (see Methodology for Sunni-Shia Estimates).



Quick Definition: Sunnis and Shias

[See at link. Druze - being an offshoot of some kind of Shia-ism - are included as muslims in Pew's report.]

Most Shias (between 68% and 80%) live in four countries: Iran, Pakistan, India and Iraq. Iran has 66 million to 70 million Shias, or 37-40% of the world’s total Shia population. Iraq, India and Pakistan each are home to at least 16 million Shias.



[...]



In four countries – Iran, Azerbaijan, Bahrain and Iraq – Shia Muslims make up a majority of the total population.

(Maybe not Iraq any more when ISIS is done. It might become "pure-Sunni dar-ul-islam".)

* Map: More Than a Third of the World’s Shia Muslims Live in Iran



* Table: Countries with More Than 100,000 Shia Muslims

Code:

Table: Countries with More Than 100,000 Shia Muslims



Country         | Estimated 2009 Shia Population | Approx % of Muslim Pop that is Shia | Approx % of World Shia Pop.

Iran            | 66 - 70 million                | 90 – 95%                            | 37 – 40%

Pakistan        | 17 – 26 million                | 10 – 15                             | 10 – 15

India           | 16 – 24 million                | 10 – 15                             | 9 – 14

Iraq            | 19 -22 million                 | 65 – 70                             | 11 – 12

...

Lots of countries in that list, but Bangladesh - like Indonesia - is nowhere on it (unless I overlooked it?). Surprised that Bangladesh is More Pure than Paki-stan (W). <- Since Sunnis don't consider Shias as true muslims or even as muslims. See also link below.

Paki islamaniacs were butchering Bangladeshi islamaniacs for not being pure oryans, so maybe Bangladesh should seek a reckoning: Pakiland is impure - not purely true muslims.





And now for a True Muslim ™ site. Note how even the URL shows that the Truer Muslims list Shias under "cults":



islamicweb.com/beliefs/cults/shia_population.htm

How many Shia are there in the world?



Many people mistakenly think that Muslims are divided into two halves: Sunnis and Shi'it. In reality Shia are between 7.5% to 11%. All the rest (93.5%) are Sunnis (ignoring the fact the Shi'ism is a totally different religion than Islam). The word Shia includes all kinds of Shi'it Sects such as (Twelvers Imami Rafidi Shia, Isma'ili Shia, Alawi (Nusairi) Shia, Druze Shia, Zaidi Shia).



The first statistic was all taken from the British Encyclopedia for the year 1997. However, we feel that it has some incorrect numbers for some countries such as Iran. Their number is compared to the total number of Muslims which is 1,482,596,925

As seen in the red bit: every Sunni is a takfiri terrorist.





I think the following URL was linked off the Rajeev2004 blog. Not certain.



tribune.com.pk/story/757186/spillover-effect-isis-making-inroads-into-pakistan-afghanistan/





Anyway,

* "between 154 million and 200 million Shia Muslims in the world"

* The Takfiri Sunnis (Salafists=Wahabis) will no doubt want to kill 'em all, as also seen in say Sunni ISIS' record in Iraq and Syria

* India has 161 million islamaniacs of which 85%-90% is Sunni.

* Therefore, with India having some 135 to 145 million Sunnis, Nadvi can raise a much larger - more decisive - ISIS militia to go bludgeon the ME into True Islam. And they needn't bother coming back. But with any luck they won't, either: assuming the global Shia population does away with them. (What do I care if christoislamaniacs convert-or-kill each other? Rather they kill themselves than that they kill unsaved kaffirs.)

* And then TSP-W should send its total Sunni population. Then, after they get done in too (didn't Iranian islamics historically beat up Pakistani/Indian islamics? I seem to vaguely remember reading this somewhere...), TSP-E's entire islamic population (Sunni) can make a similar one-way trip to the ME too. Next up can be Indonesia. And that's almost even with the world Shia population. So it will be a fight to the death.



Raising an Indian Sunni army of a measley 500,000 from a country with ~140 million Sunni muslims is barely 0.4% - a pathetic number. I suspect that at least that many Indian Sunni muslims have already enlisted/thought of enlisting without even knowing of the Maulana Nadvi's existence, so it will hardly be to his credit.
