Love, narcotic jihad being used to destroy non-Muslims girls: Bishop

Pala, Sept 10: In a major revelation about Jihad, Joseph Kallarangatt, a church bishop of Kerala claimed that young girls are being victims of "love and narcotic jihad" in Kerala. He added that these tactics are being used to destroy non-Muslims.

 

 

Addressing devotees at a church in Kerala's Pala, Kallarangatt said: "They have realised that in a democratic country like India, taking up weapons and destroying others is not easy and have adopted various tactics to target non-Muslims. In the eyes of jihadis, non-Muslims should be destroyed. Two weapons are being employed and that includes love jihad and narcotic jihad."

 

"Jihadis, through love or other means use women from other religions for converting and misusing them for terrorist activities or to make economic gains. Jihadis are those who are trained to lure a girl and brainwash them to disown their parents, their beliefs and religion. These are not love marriages, it is a war strategy. We are opposing this love jihad," the Bishop added.

 

 

Kallarangatt also claimed that the increase in the selling of drugs is ample proof of 'narcotic jihad' where the life of a non-Muslim youth is being destroyed under the influence of drugs. Those trying to prove that there is no love jihad are feigning ignorance, he added.

 

 

Kallarangatt had recently issued a circular among the community members in the Pala diocese, warning families against the traps of ‘Love Jihad’ and drugs. “You must be aware of the various sections and groups that have been trying to trap our female children with various tactics,” read the opening lines of the letter.
