1. The security threat by the TJ : Russia and the Muslim-majority Central Asian countries have rightly banned the TJ because the members have indulged in or planned extreme criminal acts like bombings and gun attacks. The TJ leaders claim that the movement is apolitical but the movement serves as a networking arrangement for the members to later either form criminal groups or join existing such groups. I quote from the Wikipedia page for "Tablighi Jamaat" :
Ignore the word "Islamist" in the above text and concentrate on who the TJ breeds. And I am sure many or most of the "Syrian rebels" who really are not Syria at all and come from all over the world have come up through the TJ. Same for the international criminals who invaded Libya in 2011.
2. The social threat by the TJ : In India the social culture among Muslims in the last 20 years has changed for the worse. Brainwashing by the TJ has resulted in many Muslim women ( so-called college educated ) adopting the full burqa, adopting an arrogant attitude and basically isolating themselves from the larger society. Not associating with the oppressed groups in the country including women. Lot of self-isolation. They might as well be living on an island. So many Afghan women don't want to wear the burqa and some make it a point not to wear it but sadly so many Indian Muslim women wear it voluntarily without understanding that the burqa has no Islamic basis. It is a pre-Islamic Jewish garment ( Read
this article, a finding by a Muslims woman scholar and parliamentarian ). Some of the voluntary burqa-wearer women are the "My hijab [ burqa ] is not my compulsion, it is my pride" types.
These particular women and the TJ have created a suffocating and oppressive atmosphere for those Indian Muslim women who don't want to wear the burqa, who want to be free. Again, about those voluntary burqa weares what then is the point of their education when they chose to isolate themselves from society and not contribute to it ? And those Indian Muslim women About many Indian Muslim men, especially in the cities, the TJ has brainwashed them to don a "pious" look - kurta-pyjama, beard ( sometimes long ) and white cap. They all have a uniform look. And they all eat biryani regularly and have become dullards. All in all these TJ-affected men and women have become parasites and should be brought back to normality.
3. The political threat by the TJ : In India the TJ has just created suffocating and oppressive ghetto life for Muslims and not worked with progressive groups and individuals in the country and has just given ground to the Hindutvadis who have grown in influence especially in the last few years. All that the TJ was interested is going around to Muslim peoples' houses and getting them for prayers by irritating the people to the extreme, pushing women into burqas and the men into the get up I described earlier. And while the TJ was busy doing this the Hindutvadis grew in power so the TJ has to take a large part of the blame for this.
4. The intellectual effect of the TJ : The TJ has made its followers to become intellectually inferior. I don't expect an Elon Musk to arise from among the Tablighis at their international headquarters in Delhi. There was that incident in Pakistan in 2019 where some Tablighis were on a running train and these idiots began cooking breakfast in the bogies and that sparked a fire in large sections of the train and 74 people were burnt or suffocated to death.
@Imran Khan
Very philosophical............... Not.
Outwardly it may seem her choice but in reality some TJ members would have brainwashed her, shamed her and forced her into making this "choice".
What do you mean by unity ? Will the TJ stop fighting Syrian government forces and instead join the Syrians, the Russians, the Palestinians and Iran-sent forces in defeating the NATO plot against Syria and present a symbol of unity for Muslims ?
Goenitz bhai, I am disappointed by some of your recent posts.
Have you changed ?
Not hurt but concerned for her and other Pakistani women especially in film and serials industry. She may be used as a tool to create an atmosphere of shame and wrong-doing and brainwash other former colleagues of hers to also leave that "haraam" industry ( as
@Zarvan called it ). A self-Talibanization.
