India’s counterterrorism police in the western state of Maharashtra have busted a terrorist cell affiliate to the Islamic State. On Thursday, security services arrested the fifth member of the so-called “Maharashtra ISIS module,” a sleeper cell plotting terrorist attacks on Indian soil. The members of the terror outfit included an IT engineer and a physician, media reports confirm.
The Islamic State, created in 2013 within the territories of Syria and Iraq, grew into a global jihadist force during President Barack Obama’s term in office. Under President Donald Trump’s watch, the ISIS caliphate in Syria and Iraq was wiped out by the U.S. military and allied forces. President Trump also ordered the airstrike that killed ISIS “caliph,” or chief, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
While the ISIS has lost its territories, the idea of an Islamic caliphate still holds sway among Muslims across the world, including India. The terrorist group enjoyed substantial following among Indian Muslims, particular in the Muslim majority areas. ISIS flags were repeatedly displayed at protest rallies and Islamic festivities in Kashmir.

This doctor is further proof that advanced education of Muslims is not the answer to the problem of Islamic terrorism.
What Muslims really need to change in the Jesus of the Bible.
For the way for a person to discover the truth concerning the nature of Jesus is found in the Bible verse Isaiah 8:20. This instructs “To the law of the testimony. If they do not speak according to the word, it is because there is no light in them.” [N.K.J.V.]
In other words, if a religious teacher has teaching that are in contradiction to the Word, the Bible, then that teachers is a false teacher who teaches false doctrines. The Muslim clerics, as the imam and mullahs, teach and speak doctrines about God from the Quran .
As the Quran in 112 teaches “He is God alone: God is the eternal begetteth not…” Likewise, this religious book which is the entire foundation of and for Islam further teaches in 19:35. “It is not befitting to God that He should beget a son.” In great contrast the Bible teaches in John 1:14. “The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory , the glory of the only begotten of the Father ,full of grace and truth.” Likewise John 3:16 teaches “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son… Then just a little further in verse 18 it is written about Jesus Who is “the only begotten Son of God. “ Other places in the Bible further teach that Jesus is the Son of God as in Matthew 16:15:16. Luke 1:35. John 3:36. First John 4:14. 15. 5:14,15.
Moreover to be even more clear the Bible teaches that Jesus is the Son of God, Who is God the Father. As found in Matthew 3:16,17. First John 2:22,23. 4:14,15. Of course , it ,very much, needs to made even more specific . The Bible teaches that Jesus is also God the Son. As seen in Hebrew 1:8 and First John 5:20.
The imams and mullahs as well as the other apologists for Islam will try to “explain” this all away. As in they will try brush off all those Bible verse off by making the claim that the Bible had been corrupted, through time, by Christians and that’s why the Bible reads as it does. That claim they make actually underestimate the Power of God to protect and keep His Word safe and intact ,through time, and away from the corruption of men.
In conclusion ,with the above instruction of the way to find doctrinal truth in Isaiah 8:20 and in the light of the Bible verse provided it may be clearly seen, by all those who are willing to see, that Islam is in terrible doctrinal error and it is therefore a false religion, Proverbs 14:12. John 14:6.
Walter Sieruk says
Jesus is not religion. He is far better than religion, which included Islam.
The Bible gives its reader very important information about what Jesus did for every person by being the Supreme Ransom for the sinner by taking his or her place on the cross on behalf of that human being.
In other words, Jesus made Himself Absolute Sacrifice for sinners in place of each one of them.
For God the Father gave Jesus, the, John 3:16, for a person who is willing to accept His work, he Total and Complete Atoning Sacrifice, for him or her.
As the Bible informs its reader, “For He made Him who knew no sin for us, to be sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” Second Corinthians 5:21. [N.K.J.V.]

Walter, it is time for rest of the sane and descent people of all faith join hands to defeat Islam. Islam is the common enemy.
Devasur says
This proves that education doesn’t make them better. What we need to do is dismantle islam by promoting Hinduism in India.
