Why is there so much misunderstanding of Islam going on among those best qualified to understand the Religion of Peace? Will anyone explain? Of course not.

An update on this story. “Assam: Madarsa cleric with links to Al-Qaeda and ABT terror outfits arrested from Goalpara; the fourth such arrest in a week,” OpIndia, August 26, 2022:

On August 26 (Friday), the Assam Police arrested another person linked to Al-Qaeda Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) and Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT) in Assam’s Goalpara district, as part of its ongoing crackdown on Jihadi terrorists operating from mosques and madrasas in the state.
