Ilmana Fasih is an Indian gynaecologist, health activist, silk painter and blogger, who writes on social and health issues. In her own words, she was raised by an atheist father and a Sunni mother, married to a Syed, non denominational ultra moderate Sunni, she is anti religion to be

described at best.

On facebook and Twitter, Ilmana is known for obfuscating Deobandi and Salafi/Wahhabi terrorism against Sunni Sufis/Barelvis, Shias, Ahmadi and Christians. She is also known for constructing false binary between Sunni and Shia while ignoring or diluting the Deobandi and Salafi Wahhabi identity of ASWJ, ISIS, Al-Qaeda, TTP, Taliban, Boko Haram, Al Shabab and other terrorists. She often indulges in false equality by equating or comparing violence by Deobandi/Wahhabi/Salafi terrorists with isolated and minuscule incidents of reaction or violence by Sunni Sufis and Shias.

She is also known for deceptive and misleading propaganda against progressive Sunni Sufi, Shia and Ahmadi bloggers.

Here are some screenshots from facebook and twitter including Ilmana’s comments on a facebook post of Mr Irfan Qadri, a Sunni Sufi/Barelvi blogger.

Irfan Qadri
Video: Chanting Ya Ali, takfiri Sunni Sufis or/and takfiri Shias join takfiri Deobandis to kill four innocent Ahmadis in Gujranwala…..

Brainwashed by anti-Ahmadi hate speech by some takfiri Shias, you can see in this video clip (0:23) how some Sunni Sufis or/and Shias participated in the takfiri Deobandi-led hate mob which killed four innocent Ahmadis in Gujranwala, Pakisan

Hassan Turi Bloody hypocrite shia, though themeselves they are killed but still they support ahmadi persecution. Im shia from tribal and i acknonowledge shia bigotry against ahmadi community in pakistan.

Ilmana Fasih No no how can that be possible? Wait till LUBP friends call you a Takfiri apologists for calling out on Shia bigotry. Been there seen that…Liberal Shia means calling names to Sunni bigotry exclusively. There is no such thing as Shia bigotry.

Irfan Qadri Ilmana Fasih LUBP is actually facing allegations by tkfiri Deobandis for being a pro-Ahmadi web site. I know you are a Deobandi yourself but don’t twist this thread to settle your score with LUBP. As a Sunni Barelvi, I fully support LUBP for its excellent work on human rights.http://lubpak.com/archives/318693

Takfiri Shias are a tiny minority within Iranian Ayatollah loyalist Pakistani Shias and must be clearly exposed and condemned on their hate speech against Ahmadiyya Muslims.

Ilmana Fasih hahaha What made u think I am a Deobandi?Presumptions much? Raised by an atheist father and a Sunni Syed Barelvi mom, married to a Syed, non denominational ultra moderate Sunni, I am anti religion to be described at best. My statement above is related to the response I have recieved from them & called Pro-Takfiri for my anti-Iran/Ayatollah Khamenei tweets. Though if u check I am as vocal against Saudis ISIS too? How would I interpret that? I see them exclusively focus on Sunni bigotry. Ali Abbas Taj himself told me in a forumon Jaag Pakistan Jaag…Shias are bound to agree to all dictats of Ayatollah Khmeini/Khamenie or else they are considered outside the 12er faith.

Irfan Qadri Ilmana: You are wrong on two accounts:

Criticism of Shia clerics

Rusty Walker Comments like “bloody hypocrite Shia” reveals misplaced anger. It would be just as false to say “”bloody hypocrite Sunnis” – Shia and Sunnis are good people. Ahmadis are good people. Please consider that self-righteous comments do not help clarify the truth. Moderates do not hate the other sects. It is the radicals- Takfiri Muslims that are the problem.

In truth, the radical Sunnis, and the radical Shia are simply loud and violent few that command the press attention. The vast majority of Shia are not in agreement with this video.

IImana Fasih,”LUBP friends” aren’t biased against Sunni. I write for LUBP, and it is highly presumptuous to assign Sunni bigotry to them/us. If I find that they are biased at any time- I will stop writing for them. My friends include Ahmadis, Sunnis, and Sufis.

Of course this Takfiri Shia violence is possible, but, in truth, it is a small group of radicals. All Shia are not moderate. Many follow Khomeini at their own peril.

Thank you for posting ting this video, it is important to see. But, while these violent extremists are on a rampage, and should be fully condemned, this is surprising, because most Shia are not Takfiri Muslims, being a minority themselves.

Aligning to closely with Khomeini is a dangerous precedent. .Khomeini does not represent Shia Islam- true that the have gained popularity in the chaos that is in Iraq. But, there is no conspiracy of Shia against Sunni,
and this video does NOT speak for the Shia Community.

Unfortunately, most Pakistani Shias are no different than other Pakistani Islamists. (However, LUBP still does not fall in that category.) No, I dont agree with Rusty Walker.

Rusty Walker Let us not so quickly judge the many by the few. Do not turn Muslim against Muslim based on a incendiary video, that makes me angry as it does you!
It is the few radicals that get the attention. Millions of Muslims live lives of domestic tranquility, following the Quran, teachings of Mohammed (PBUH), and interpret Jihad as internal struggle, and fighting only when provoked, as any god Muslim would protecting their family.

ANY Takfiri Muslim fits the category of Jihadist, Islamist, terrorist. They are murderers, be they Sunni or Shia. Salafists are the problem not Sunnis. Takfiri Shias, who turn against Ahmadis, are the problem, not Shias.

Let us not be so quick to mirror this violence- Anger may give us a sense of power, but it is misplaced to judge everyone by these few:
To indict the other sects based on inflammatory enraged actions of the ignorant is plying into the radicals hands. Let us be warriors together against radicals! Insh ‘Allah.

Rusty Walker Quotes typical of my articles always mentioning the Ahmedis as victims that need help, no less than Shia, moderate Sunnis, and Sufis.

“One manifestation of this growing list of atrocities is Shia Genocide. The media obfuscation of the current Shia Genocide taking place in Pakistan takes the form of calling it a “sectarian” issue, as if two sides where fighting. In fact, only the Shias are the targets of radical Sunnis (moderate Sunnis live in peace with Shias). Even Human Rights Organizations have mistakenly referred to targeted killings and beheadings of innocent Shias, as a “sectarian conflict,” which categories the atrocities into a historical context which is easy to dismiss.”

“In this particular piece it seems TFT has gone further by promoting the fact that all Deobandis consider Shia and Ahmedis to be Kafir (“unbelievers,” and thus, targets). However, Maulana Tahir Ashrafi, head of the Pakistan Ulema Council, for example, in his public discourse says the opposite. Not only has he said that to our editor in a personal exchange, but various moderate Ulema have expressed that a General Takfeer of Shia is “Haram” (troublemaker) and makes for “Fitna” (chaos). They have used various strong words against such General Takfeer. We have to take our responsibility as media people seriously and try to stop Takfeer, which to an Islamist constitutes a license to kill. TFT on the other hand is promoting Takfeer by citing some obscure Fatwa saying that Shias and Ahmadi Muslims are Kafir. Clearly they should be doing the opposite and promoting Fatwas that show Shias are part of Islam. Therefore, once we deal with the Takfeer issue the situation will at least improve for the Shia, if not for Ahmedis, which would still need to be addressed separately. Other religions have been targeted by the Takfiri Deobandis, including our minority Christian community.”

“Takfiri Deobandi militants (who are also killing moderate Sunni Barelvis and Deobandi etc).”

I know as a Sunni, majority Sunnis donot endorse Shia killing either. Yes many are sickeningly indifferent, to not just Ahmedi or Shia killings but generally apathetic as a whole. I have seen similar hate and abusive language for general Sunnis not just exclusively for Salafis/Deobandis on many Shia forums. But no one would ever acknowledge that.

If someone said, “a Shia woman marrying a Sunni becomes a murtid!” It is a sick comment.
Even Benazir Bhutto’s father and mother were Shia and Sunni.

Irfan Qadri Ilmana Fasih Deobandis and Salafi Wahhabis are on the whole a violent, intolerant cult (ISIS, Boko Haram, ASWJ, TTP, Al Qaeda, Taliban, LeJ, Al Shabab, LeT/JuD etc) that does not represent Sunni Sufi and other Sunni Muslims.

Today ISIS has emerged as the most brutal power due not just by Salafi support but also bcos Assad/Iran crushed genuine moerate opposition.

There is a closet Salafi Deobandi bigot, Ilmana Faish, who says Iran and Assad are responsible for the rise of ISIS. Of course she won’t mention the role of CIA-KSA in the creation of ISIS aka Al Nusra aka FSA.
Shias, Sunni Sufis & Christians must monitor the closet Salafi Deobandi propagandist Ilmana Faish and capture her lies and propaganda.
All CIA-KSA-friendly fake seculars and fake liberals need to be closely monitored and exposed on their lies.

Shumail Zaidi Last year on Arbaeen, I put up a FB status
Jis ko bhi Nagwar hai Matam Hussain ka
Us ka Yazeed se koi rishta zarur hai
I was referring to ASWJ who wanted a ban on Arbaeen procession.
She got so offended , called me I am spreading sectarianism , blocked me … Ran social media threads against me … I am glad she is exposed. What a bigot!

6 Comments to “Ilmana Fasih: A Deobandi atheist’s Jihad against Sunni Sufis and Shias”

  1. Jim Pivonka said:

    I have elected to permit this post and discussion to appear on my wall. I will therefor offer my observations about the matters at issue for the attention of my Facebook friends.
    First, the main point of the discussion, I think by all participants, is that the communal violence described is not “sectarian” in the sense of being the result of the traditional divide between Sunni and Shia Islam. The point made, repeatedly, is that orthodox, observant, Muslims from both traditions regard members of the other as Muslims, and regard the respect of members of the other as integral to their belief and practice. Rather, the violence is the result of, and reflects distortions of both faith traditions which are being taught and practiced by groups all orthodox Muslims regard as heterodox – outside the normal traditions and beliefs of their faiths. These are referred to as “takfiri”, a term which is applied to groups which justify violence against others with accusations of heresy. A careful reading of the comment stream will provide much more information, worthy of research and study, on this.
    Second, the comment stream and discussion includes a fight among friends. This is true in the sense of a fight, or dispute among people who are or should be allies, and in the sense of an argument among people who are my Facebook friends, who provide valuable information to me, and whose commitments and values I find sympathetic.
    The essence of this second argument appears to be disagreement about the extent to which some “liberal” thought leaders and public intellectuals have been willing or unwilling to face and address the complicity of an important, conservative Sunni school of Islam in support of communal violence against other traditions. This school is called Deobandi, after a center of conservative Islamic teaching established at Deoband, in India, after India attempted to liberate itself from the Brits, in the 1850s. The British, in an effort to decrease the cohesiveness of Indian society, subsidized the importation of the same conservative forms of Islam they were using against traditional Islamic societies in the Near East, Wahabbi and Salafi ideologies, and the then new school at Deoband furthered this strategy.
    Traditionally, Islam in the region of the Indian subcontinent was inclusive, and adapted to living in a pluralist culture and society. It was heavily influenced by Sufism, and a school of Islamic thought referred to as Barelvi. The controversy here appears to me to be over the extent to which some participants feel that some “liberals” take public positions which do not adequately address the participation of conservative, Deobandi leaning military and political figures in protecting and even encouraging Deobandi groups which are responsible for violence against essentially all other religious groups in the region.
    The list of those subject to the violence, typically beheading, includes Sunnis of Barelvi and Sufi traditions, Shia, Ahmadi (the subject of this video), Christians, and any other faith or secular thought tradition that does not match the doctrine of the persons doing the violence. The controversy among friends here is the extent to which powers, whether religious, military, or political, must be held directly and publicly accountable for the actions of those violent, takfiri, “jihaddists” who are aligned with and supported by the Deobandi aligned elites. This includes the extent to which the elites, and the Deoobandi brand of conservative Islam itself, must be called out and brought to account, along with Saudi Wahabbism, Salafism, and Qutbism, for the level of communal violence present in some Islamic nations and societies today.

    اب صرف ہم نہیں کہہ رہے زمانہ کہہ رہا ہے اور اگر زمانہ سے غافل ہیں تو کم از کم زمانہ شناس اور زمانے کو راہ دکھانے والے نیشا پوری جیسے سمجھدار لوگ بھی کہہ رہے ہیں کہ تکفیری صرف سنی ہی نہیں شعیہ بھی ہیں اور اگر مزید سمجھنا چاہیں تو جاکر پتہ لگائیں کہ کون ہے جو مردہ باد کے نعرے لگاتا ہے۔ کون ہے جو علی کے شیدائیوں اور حسین کے جانثاروں کو شیطان اور طاغوت وقت خامنائی کی حماقتوں کی نشاندہی کرنے والوں کی موت کی سدائیں بلند کرتا ہے۔

    Rusty Walker Ilmana Fasih you choose to muddy up my sincere Eid Mubarak to my Muslim friends, with false accusations. This is not where you pick a fight!

    Your demonization of Shia and LUBP, is misplaced.
    I did not call you and imposter. I don’t even know you- in fact, on a different thread you called ME an imposter, and not Rusty Walker suggesting I lived in Lahore, which to my 200+ or so friends that know me well, is ludicrous if not funny.! Ali Zaidi fortunately, came to my defense; I am an open book on Facebook. So back off. Don’t confuse my kindness for weakness.

    Your inappropriate discourse on a thread where I am HONORING my Muslim friends, both Sunni, Shia is an embarrassment in front of my American friends. This is not helping the understanding of our different cultures.

    Rusty Walker Ilmana Fasih · PLEASE apologize for picking a sectarian fight on my sincere and genuine Eid Mubarak best wishes to Muslim friends of ALL sects, or I will be forced to block you as an agitator.
    I am tempted to delete these inappropriate and half-baked arguments from which no good and certainly no clarity of understanding will come.

  4. Ilmana Fasih does a paid radio show with Jang Group’s Aman Ki Asha/Beena Sarwar. It is her vested interests to take these unsubstantiated and quite digs at LUBP because we know Beena has unfortunately been running a campaign against LUBP and other Sufi Sunni and Shia bloggers for the last couple of years.
