Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Afghanistan: Jihad terror leader under fire for poor recitation of the Qur’an

By

He didn’t have the passage fully memorized, and didn’t follow the standard rules of Qur’an recitation. Those who are addicted to wishful thinking will seize upon this to buttress their claim that jihadis do not know the Qur’an and don’t follow it. Unfortunately, Haqqani does follow it, even if he doesn’t have it all in his head. Those who insist otherwise should explain exactly how the Haqqani Network violates the tenets of Islam.

“Haqqani chief appears in public for the first time, ‘struggles’ in reciting Quran,” by Nikhil Rampal, The Print, March 6, 2022:

New Delhi: In a first since Taliban regained control of Afghanistan last year, the leader of dreaded Haqqani Network and the country’s minister of interior affairs Sirajuddin Haqqani, who carries a USD 10 million bounty on his head, made a public appearance Saturday.

However, it was not just his first pictured and video graphed public appearance that drew attention, but also his purported struggle in reciting verses from the Quran.

Haqqani is the son of Haqqani Network founder, Jalaluddin Haqqani, and currently handles the activities of the group.

The network — commonly described as a Sunni Islamist militant organisation — was designated a Foreign Terrorist Organisation by the United States in 2012. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has also put a bounty on Sirajuddin, offering up to $10 million for providing information leading directly to him….

Apart from the rare release of his image, the other thing that has been making news about Sirajuddin’s Saturday event, was the minister’s alleged inability to recite properly from the Quran.

According to Hamid Haideri, editor in chief of the 1 TV News Afghanistan —  an Afghan news channel — “Haqqani began his speech at a graduation ceremony with a verse from Surah Al-Imran, but was unable to recite it correctly”.

In a 21-second video clip of the event shared by Haideri on Twitter, Sirajuddin appeared to be struggling to remember the exact verse and had to take help of notes.

A longer video posted by a Twitter handle named ‘Taliban Exposed’ (which posts anti-Taliban content) suggests that Haqqani had omitted saying ‘sadaq Allah Al-Azeem’ (meaning Allah Almighty speaks the truth) — as is uttered at the end of every recitation of a verse from the Quran. The minister later said it, after someone reminded him of it….

According to Sharif Hassan, a  New York Times reporter in Afghanistan, Haqqani is under attack by opponents for misreading the Quran verse.

  1. mozlums can’t get along with anybody…not even other mozlums. And terrorists among them, too busy planning, maiming and killing to worry about memorizing the “verses” that command them to do those things, and from which they get such glee.

    Lust is kind of like alcohol; both can fog up the mind and make one forgetful. This creepy terrorist most likely lusts for bloodletting and raping of young girls and little boys to the extent that he can’t recall the exact words in the book of evil, demonic filth. He’ll obey them anyway. Until some other mozlum takes him out for his “mistake.”

  2. It’d be interesting to see how well he could stand up to Joe Biden and his ability to quote from the “Book of Palms.” That would be epic.

      • Hello, Keith O. Okay, “Book of Palms” seems to be a joke. Please explain the joke. Is “Book of Palms” a biblical reference to “Book of Psalms”?

    But he is still a devoted and pious muslim because he recites Quran. Devoted and pious muslims do indeed make pious terrorists which shows Islam is a true religion for blood thirsty terrorists.

    • There are many mozlums who can’t read, so if they haven’t memorized from hearing at their barracks’ meetings for learning to prey, they wouldn’t be able to recite. But, they still know they are commanded to lie, rape and murder for islam, its fake ‘god’ and false ‘prophet.’

    …………

    Being a terror leader is A-OK–but paraphrasing the Qur’an? Haram! Haram!

  6. Probably had trouble remembering because his parents are related by birth!

  7. I guess he will now be pulled off the “bus” and shot for not reciting the Quran properly.
