Muslim Denial Knows No Bounds: One Way Of Dealing With Self-Styled 'Khalifa' Baghdadi Is To Call Him A Jew And A Mossad Agent, As Does Maulana Abul Irfan Firangi Mahli, But Will It Work?

Is the self styled caliph of Muslims, Abu Bakr Baghdadi
alias Ibrahim a Jew and a secret agent of Mossad? Is he a stooge in the hands
of the European powers creating chaos, bloodshed and strife among the Muslims?
Is he a part of the plan projecting Muslims as a community that believes in
cold blooded killings and violence in the name of Islam? Many a post and blog
on the internet have raised all these questions by citing various reports that
claim that self-styled 'Khalifa' and
'Amir-ul-Momineen' Abu Bakr Ibrahim al-Baghdadi is in fact a Jew and his parents are Jews. His real
name is Simon Elliot and has been assigned by Mossad and CIA the task of
creating strife and bloodshed in the Middle East on the pretext of establishing
the rule of God aka Islamic caliphate in the Arab countries.
Some conspiracy theorists also suggest that many ‘neo-Muslims’ coming from Jewish background have joined Al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations with a motive. That more than 3,000 British neo-Muslims have joined the ISIS also creates doubt in many Muslim minds, prone to conspiracy theories, about the game the US and other Europeans are playing in the Middle East. How many of them are American and British moles and agents is not known, it is said. The American whistle blower Robert Snowden’s report is also being utilised to hint at Baghdadi being a US and Israel agent planted in the Middle East to further their political and economic interests and create sectarian strife among the Muslims.
However, while some find comfort in newer and newer conspiracy theories, many Muslims all over the world have responded to Baghdadi with support and acceptance, little realizing that he might be an enemy of Islam in the same way as the Saudi Wahhabi Kingdom that has by now destroyed almost all symbols of Islam's historicity.
The following article by senior Shia cleric of Firangi Mahal, Lucknow, Maulana Abul Irfan Firangi Mahli is an eye opener. It shows the extent to which some so-called moderate Muslims can go to deny the existence of extremism in Islamic ideology and community. A link given below can be visited to see the source of Maulana's conspiracy theory.
However, similar conspiracy theories have been weaved about the Saudi-Wahhabi dynasty as well, depicting both the political and ideological founders of Kingdom, Muhammad bin Saud and Mohammad Ibn ʿAbd al-Wahhab, as having Jewish and also Christian ancestry and being agents of British imperialism. They were considered British agents as Baghdadi is being depicted as Israeli-American agent now. However, Muslims had no problem accepting them as their leaders, even as the guardians of al-Ḥaramayn al-Sharifayn. Similarly if the so-called Islamic State establishes itself, as it is likely to, with all the support it seems to be getting from Sunni kingdoms and emirates and common Muslims, most likely the global Muslim community will have no problem accepting them as one of its leaders.
Conspiracy theories have not worked in denying Muslim support to Saudi Kingdom; they are not likely to work in the case of this self-styled Khalifa Baghdadi. What could have worked then but was not tried with any degree of coherence and consistency and what could work now is a serious rebuttal of the extremist ideology of Kharjites and now neo-Kharjites by all sections of mainstream Islam.
There is a whole galaxy of extremist ideologues who have existed throughout the history of Islam. They cannot all be called MI6, CIA, KGB and Mossad agents. These ideologues have enjoyed varying degree of support among the masses. When the ideological mentor of Abdul Wahhab, Taqî ad-Dîn Aḥmad ibn Taymiyyah, for instance, died, while in prison for several years on charges of heresy, hundreds of thousands of Muslims turned up to pray for him, and, incidentally, he was buried in a Sufi cemetery and is still called Sheikh-ul-Islam by some.
We Muslims, at least those of us who want the community to come out of the mess in which we have put ourselves, have to recognise that we have a serious problem on the ideological plane and have to exert hard to sort it out, starting from the most basic question: who is a Muslim. A community that cannot sort out the question of who has the right to be considered its member obviously has a long way to go to join the modern world.

The Jew disguising as Baghdadi
Maulana Abul Irfan Firangi Mahli
(Translated from
Urdu by New Age Islam)
22 October, 2014
For a long time, the anti-Islam forces have been creating strife among the Muslims by planting their Christian and Jew agents in the disguise of Muslims in the Muslim community and looting the oil and gas of the Islamic countries. That’s how, sometimes the British spy Humphrey, sometimes Lawrence of Arabia and sometimes Mossad agent Simon Elliot disguised as Abu Bakr Baghdadi enters Syria and Iraq through whom, the US, Britain and Israel are looting the oil and gas wealth of the Muslim countries.
Abu Bakr Baghdadi, whose Jewish antecedents have now been exposed has become a threat to the Muslim countries. He claims to be the self styled Caliph of the entire Muslim world and has appealed to the Muslims of the world to wage jihad. It is a pity that some so-called maulvis of Lucknow offer him greetings through newspapers without pondering over the facts. Someone wrote Subhanallah on the map of ISIS on the social media site. When the issue was taken up by the media, the same maulvi started giving flimsy excuses. Some foolish people foisted black flags of ISIS in Kashmir while some Hajis hoisted ISIS flags at Arafat during Hajj pilgrimage.
Due to all these
foolish acts of Muslims, on the one hand, Islam is being maligned and, on the
other, other communities look at Muslims with suspicion. Regrettably, damage is
being done due to not realizing the games of Baghdadi as damage had been done
due to not realizing and recognizing Humphrey and Lawrence of Arabia. There was
no internet during the life of Humphrey and Lawrence. So it was difficult to
identify Lawrence and Humphrey but it is very easy during the modern internet
era. Whoever has any doubt about Baghdadi being a Jew, can type “Abu Bakr
Baghdadi is a Jew” and see Edward Snowden’s report which clearly says that
Baghdadi’s parents are Jews and his real name is Simon Elliott. He is an agent
of Mossad and the secret agencies of the US, Britain and Israel have been
promoting terrorism in Middle East.
Many old photographs of this man are available on the internet. Therefore, identifying a Jew like Abu Bakr Baghdadi is very easy. But this can be done only by those who hate the people playing with the blood of innocent people and the terrorists. But those who enjoy creating strife among people or those who are agents of Wahhabi governments of Saudi Arabia and Qatar or the governments of Israel and the US cannot do so. But I would ask not the agents of these countries but those who want to know the truth about Baghdadi to search on the internet to confirm that Baghdadi is not a Muslim in the first place but a Jew and like Humphrey and Lawrence of Arabia is an agent of the US, the UK and Israel. He has been trained by Qatar and Saudi Arabia. He is maligning Islam and Muslims disguising as a Muslim. Not only that, he has also become a threat to Islam, humanity and peace.
It is therefore a duty of every responsible person to consider Abu Bakr Baghdadi a curse for humanity instead of hailing him as a blessing of God and they should oppose terrorist organizations like ISIS, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, Al Nusrah, Taliban and Lashkar. Besides this, they should also keep a distance from foolish and short-sighted maulvis.
