The Anthem of Jihad

At a conference in Pakistan in August, islamic jihad leaders led the conference in a song celebrating jihad. I encourage you to go look at the lyrics of the entire song at MEMRI here but I have excerpted much of it here. Read these lyrics, imagine the music accompanying them, visualize these islamists singing this and holding clenched fists in the air, and then tell me that the ideology of islam is NOT hellbent on conquering the entire world.

Lahore Conference Celebrates Jihad

At the opening of the August 14 conference, a duo of Hafiz Abdul Wadud Hasan and Hafiz Abdur Rauf sang the following song, described by the organizers as the "jihadi tarana (anthem)."

Jihad will continue till the Day of Judgement; jihad will never stop.
(Jihad jari rahega ta qayamatJihad hargiz naheen rukega)

It has forced oppressor's head to bow; it will end oppression and torture.
(Is se zalim ka sar jhuka haiIs se zulm-o-sitam mitega)

Jihad is the order of Allah; jihad is the path of the Prophet.
(Jihad farman hai Khuda kaJihad rasta hai Mustafa ka)

Jihad is the assurance of loyalty; every true Muslim will be loyal.
(Jihad paiman hai wafa kaHer ek momin wafa karega)

This is the Will [of God], this is [His] happiness; no one can change it.
(Yahi masheeat, yahi raza haiJise na koi badal saekga)

Only Jihad has always cut the head of evil from the earth
(Zameen se fitno ka sar hameshaJihad hi se qalam huwa hai)

Jihad will make the gods of falsehood naked.
(Jihad jhooti khudaion koUlat kar be abroo karega)

Enemies of Jihad will be dishonoured; they will sink into an unending abyss.
(Jihad dushman zaleel hokerAthaah pasti mein ja girega)

Jihad teaches how to live; only those will live who learn to die.
(Jihad jeena sikhane walaaJo marna seekhega wo jiyegaa)

Jihad is the state of ecstasy; jihad is the army of the brave.
(Jihad alam hai bekhudi kaJihad Lashkar bahaduri ka)

Jihad is the flag of truth; Never has it bowed, nor will it bow.
(Jihad parcham hai rasti kaKabhi jhuka, na kabhi jhukega)

Jihad is the destruction of heretics; those who fight against it will die.
(Jihad alhad ki tabahiIse mitayega jo mitega)
