Terrorists now swear by 'qattal'

Death is all they worship, no matter what they call it,

Terrorists now swear by 'qattal'-India-The Times of India: "After decades of bloodbath in the name of jihad or holy war, terrorists are changing gear and indulging in qattal , an act by which they kill even their own people, a top Pakistan leader said.

'Terrorists are now replacing the term jihad with the Islamic term qattal for their acts,' Hasham Baber, additional secretary general of Pakistan's Awami National Party said.

Hardline religious leaders in Pakistan are now using the new term because moderate Muslims have started denouncing the use of jihad by terrorists who indulge in violence in the name of Islam, said Baber.

Explaining the term 'jihad', Baber, who was in India to attend an anti-terrorism conference, said: 'It is not about fighting a war or battle or even killing people but a struggle for peace. It means a collective decision to struggle.”

' Qattal , on the other hand, means I am allowed to kill a Hindu, Christian at will or even a Shia.'"
