Popular Palestinian Islamic scholar Nidhal Siam had called for the genocide of Hindus during a protest meeting at the controversial Al Aqsa mosque. His comments came in light of former BJP leader Nupur Sharma’s comments about Islam during a TV debate.
Even though this is an old video, it has once again resurfaced in light of Hamas terrorists going on a rampage against Jews whom they consider infidels.
In his speech, he urged Pakistan to wage jihad against India for the sake of allah and called for the eradication of infidels and polytheism.
Nidhal Siam accused India’s ruling party the Bharatiya Janata Party of showing disrespect towards Islam and the Prophet Muhammad.
At the gathering, the cleric who was snarling at all non-Muslims and characterized the recent dispute involving India as just one in a series of perceived insults and hostilities perpetrated by non-believers against Islam and the Prophet Muhammad, constituting what he described as a conflict against Muslims.
Siam drew parallels between this situation and events such as the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the alleged “kidnapping” of Muslim children in Sweden, and other perceived “crimes” committed by non-Muslims against Muslims.
Siam then advocated for the only suitable response being the declaration of Jihad in the name of Allah, aimed at disciplining and eliminating non-believers and polytheists. He called upon the armed forces of Muslim nations worldwide, with particular emphasis on Pakistan, to take action in defense of Islam and the Prophet Muhammad against Hindus.
During the gathering, the crowd chanted slogans such as “Hindus, you impure Hindus, Muhammad is the leader of all people, Allah Akbar!” The video of this rally was uploaded to the Al-Aqsa Call YouTube channel on June 10, 2022.
He is Palestinian Islamic Scholar Nidhal Siam who asked Muslims esp Pakistanis to wage Jihad against Hindus. Anyone who supports Palestine, is a supporter of genocide of Hindus. Period. https://t.co/Ps8eli69Gp pic.twitter.com/IutUqhyaFZ

The following is a transcript of what Nidhal Siam said:
Hindus you filthy Hindus.. Muhammad is the master of all people. Oh Muslims, do you see the infidels’ successive affronts and hostilities towards the Messenger of Allah?
We barely got cleared of France’s affronts, when we had to encounter the affronts by Hindus, those cow-worshippers. These affronts are nothing less than a war against Islam and Muslims.
The infidels take turns in waging this war against the Muslims. First it was America with its aggression against Iraq and Afghanistan, then along came Sweden with its kidnapping of Muslim children.”
France attacked once, the Russians multiple times, then there is China with its crimes, and now the Hindu cow-worshippers, who have destroyed mosques, killed Muslims and destroyed their villages. Now they slander the Master of Mankind, peace be upon him. The one and only reaction to such a thing is to declare Jihad for the sake of Allah and to open up battlefronts for fighting, so that the army can have its say, by disciplining the infidels and polytheists and by eradicating them.”
As for you, oh people of Pakistan, you have a greater duty than others in fighting Hindus. They are right there on your border, occupying parts of your land and killing your people. You have a great army this is capable of disciplining Hindus, making them forget the whispers of Satan.
Here are some key verses that are often referenced…
-
Surah Al-Baqarah (2:191): “And kill them wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you, and fitnah (persecution) is worse than killing. And do not fight them at al-Masjid al-Haram until they fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.”
This verse is often cited in discussions about self-defense, but it emphasizes the principle of proportionality in warfare and does not advocate unprovoked violence.
-
Surah Al-Tawbah (9:5): “And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, let them [go] on their way. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.”
This verse is often referred to as the “Sword Verse.” It was revealed in the context of specific battles against the polytheists of Mecca and should be understood within that historical context.
-
Surah Al-Tawbah (9:29): “Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture – [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled.”
