ALL the gravest harms to faith have come not from outsiders, but from those who claim to defend it.
Fitna Al-Khawarij, led by fugitive Noor Wali Mehsud, is one such example—twisting Islam to justify violence, while secretly aiding those who seek to harm Muslims.
Today, FAK stands exposed not only as a terrorist outfit but as a tool in the hands of Pakistan’s enemies.
Noor Wali recently made headlines by inviting support from non-Muslim states, against Pakistan—a country founded on Islamic values.
This move reveals FAK’s desperation and total collapse of religious legitimacy.
Rather than representing Islamic teachings, the group manipulates them to suit political ambitions and foreign agendas.
FAK’s record speaks for itself: attacks on mosques, markets, schools and hospitals—all places protected under Islamic law.
Their acts are not resistance—they are pure destruction.
The Qur’an warns that taking even a single innocent life is like killing all of humanity (Surah Al-Maidah 5:32).
Yet FAK continues to shed Muslim blood while claiming to act in God’s name.
Major Islamic institutions across the world have outrightly declared such actions as haram.
Still, FAK pushes its own narrative, issuing fake religious verdicts to justify rebellion.
Calling Pakistan “land of disbelief” is not just outrageous; it exposes the moral confusion within FAK’s ideology.
At a time when India is increasing its aggression against Pakistan through airspace violations and military threats, FAK chooses to attack from within.
Their actions are disturbingly synchronized with India’s strategy.
The deadly assault on Pakistan’s Danda check post occurred just as India intensified cross-border hostilities.
This is no coincidence.
FAK acts as a domestic enabler for India’s anti-Pakistan campaigns.
These attacks divide national focus, weaken internal security and give India strategic leverage.
This is not jihad—it is betrayal.
Noor Wali now argues that alliances with non-Muslim powers are acceptable.
Yet in the past, he labeled the Pakistani state as disbelievers.
This contradiction exposes the group’s hypocrisy.
Islam does not forbid justice or kindness toward non-Muslims (Surah Al-Mumtahanah 60:8), but forming partnerships to attack a Muslim state cross into treason.
Moreover, Islam strictly warns against declaring other Muslims as kafir without clear evidence.
The Holy Prophet (SAWW) said, “If anyone calls his brother a disbeliever, the label returns to one of them.
” Reckless accusations like these create divisions and are condemned by all major scholars.
Jihad must be led by a legitimate Muslim government and meet strict ethical criteria.
FAK’s self-declared war has no scholarly, religious or moral foundation.
Pakistan, as a Muslim country, governed by Islamic principles, cannot be the target of so-called “jihad.
” Armed rebellion against such a state is treachery.
FAK is no defender of faith.
Their violence, their alliance with hostile foreign powers and their rejection of Islamic consensus show their true face.
Their goals are not religious—they are political and destructive.
As our Holy Prophet (SAWW) warned about such people: “They will kill Muslims and spare idol worshippers.
They are the worst of creation, the dogs of Hell.
” Muslims must not be fooled.
The path of Islam is one of wisdom, justice and mercy—not bloodshed and betrayal.
