Woh main ne bhi suna hai, woh bilkul jahil ladka tha, ek bol raha tha. Unhone jihad ko apne maani mein le liya hai. Jihad ke maani hain peaceful struggle, dawat ke liye. Baaki marna kaatna yeh harghiz jihad hai hi nahi.

Woh jo yeh log kar rahe hain is waqt jihad ke naam par, woh jihad hi nahi hai. Woh to, yaani kya hai, woh Allah hi behtar lafz de sakta hai is ko, lekin woh behal Woh jihad nahi hai. Jihad naam hai dawat ke liye peaceful andaaz mein koshish karna.

Yeh jihad hai. وہ میں نے سنا ہے، وہ وہ اس کا جو جو بھی interview, interview, وہ تو کوئی لڑکا، Koi lagta hai, koi koi jahil ladka hai, pakad liya aur us ko brain wash kar ke tayyar kar ke kaheen bhej diya ladai karne ke liye.
