Now just being a Muslim apparently isn’t good enough for some radicals. A statement issued by a jihadist group in Pakistan labels non-jihadist Muslims as “kafirs” and calls for non-jihadi Muslims to be killed.
The report released on Islam Watch says that non-jihadi Muslims are not following the path of the Prophet Muhammad and should be treated the same as infidels.
Center for the Study of Political Islam Executive Director Bill Warner has done research into the issue and confirms that jihadi Muslims have a record of targeting Muslims they believe aren’t practicing true Islam.
Warner’s research shows that from 2002 through 2011, the number of Muslim on Muslim attacks has gone from a few hundred per year to over 1,500 per year.
“There has always been the jihad of purification, to act on Muslims who aren’t following their doctrine well,” Warner said.
“However, we have to understand that the Quran speaks of the fact that one Muslim may not call another Muslim a kafir, so in order to kill them they must find their Islam lacking,” Warner said.
“So if your Islam is weak you can be killed, however, the Quran calls them hypocrites because Muslims aren’t supposed to call other Muslims kafirs,” Warner said.
Warner explains that Islam covers both sides of every issue.
“You have to understand that within Islam there’s always a yes and always a no. There are always two answers to every question. What is jihad? It’s the inner struggle. What is jihad? Oh, it’s killing kafirs,” Warner said.
“I don’t know of anything where there’s simply a single answer,” Warner said. “There’s always a way to do anything you want to do in Islam.”
“Muslims kill each other all the time. What do you think is happening in Syria right now?” Warner said.

The Quran quotes are authentic. It has always been true that non-jihadi Muslims have been challenged as not Muslim enough by jihadis,” Geller said.
