Gujarat riots and the history of incessant Muslim Violence
against Hindus
Amarnath
Imbroglio Will Bury Islamist Tyranny In
Kashmir
Can we allow
descendants of Ghauri and Ghazni and followers of Genghis Khan and Osama Bin
Laden pollute our environment and subvert our democratic way of life?
A US based Islamist wearing
an academic cover has made a vicious attempt to mislead the American lawmakers
so as to make a case to deny the travel documents to India’s most popular state
Chief Minister namely Mr. Narendra Modi of Gujarat for visiting the US.
This is despite the fact that Mr. Modi has
categorically denied having made any attempts for seeking a Visa to undertake a
US visit.
To further spread his venom
against India’s
national leaders he has called Mr. Modi an “Avtar of Hitler.” The author of this
cheap and untrue Islamic propaganda is Mr. Muqtedar Khan, Director – Islamic
Studies, University of Delaware. In this enlightened age a member of this
predatory religion can not be allowed to get away with such slander and
diatribe. (Attachment A)
As
an honest person Mr. M. Khan should have told the people of this great democracy
the truth about the fundamentals of Islam as propounded in the Sira
and Hadith which stand for Darul Islam, Darul Ahad & Darul
Harab given the numbers of Muslim population in different states. If
Muslims are an absolute majority they are required to enforce Darul Islam
where non-Muslims are kafirs, therefore, without equal rights. The so-called
kafirs cannot practice their religions, pray, preach or display their gods as in
Saudi Arabia. Where
Muslims are in a hopeless minority they must live in Darul Ahad and must
make a deal with the majority and make no demands; and finally when the Muslims
are not in a hopeless minority they must conduct subversions and act against all
human values to leverage their position in the polity and ultimately rulers and
that is called Darul Harab.
1) Political
Islam as practiced by almost all of the Muslim countries believes in jihad
building and not in nation building.
The mobilization of Muslims for a civilizational war and jihad will be
relatively easy in Darul Islam. Mr. Khan has attempted to use his arsenal not
only to achieve the goal of denying Mr. Modi the opportunity of visiting the US
and educating the people about the Islamist conspiracy against Hindus but also
to appease the titans of the UPA Govt. whose political energy is utilized in
scheming to destabilize the popular and very
stable Modi regime in Gujarat. But that’s not all - in his capacity as a member
of the Islamic intellectual elite and a network Mr. Khan in his own devious and
sinistrous way has in fact initiated a
renewed civilizational war against Hindus and their leadership and at the same
time delivered a message to the keepers of the sleeping Islamic cells in India
to gear up for impending jihadi earthquakes and explosions.
2) As a matter
of rule, the
Islamist propaganda only
highlights the public reaction against the extremist Muslims burning of Hindu
pilgrims in a train in
Gujarat.
However, when the sufferings of Hindus as a result of the atrocities committed
by the extremist Muslims in India are reviewed it becomes abundantly clear that
these extremist Muslims actually are the cause and the culprits of these
inhumanities.
To
achieve and expand its goals, the expansionist and predatory Islam is
universally known for distorting and misrepresenting the facts. Following this
general rule Mr. Khan has groundlessly alleged and implicated Mr. Modi’s
political party, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in systematic killings of
Muslims and burning of their homes and businesses, year after year. He
conveniently suppresses the fact that a Muslim mob reportedly attacked and burnt
a bogey of a passenger train, in Godhra,
Gujarat killing some 60 Hindu men, women and children returning from a
pilgrimage. There was a spontaneous public backlash resulting in riots in
Gujarat, and
in spite of the immediate response by the authorities some Muslims and Hindus
died in the rioting. Some died in the police firing which became necessary in
order to control the situation. Instead of stating the facts in an unadulterated
manner this Islamist has exaggerated the sad development by turning and twisting
it with a view to blame the whole incident upon the Hindus.
Going by their incessant
propaganda on Babri Masjid demolition and post Godhra riots the Islamists have
attempted to paint a picture of injustice against the Muslims in Hindu India.
This falsehood has caused multiple, including psychological, damage to
Hindus. Truthfully Islamists must be reminded of the Islamic inhumanities,
genocide, kidnappings, loots, arsons, rapes and atrocities committed by their
sultans during the last thousand years against Hindus. Above all they must be
reminded without mincing words that not even in one single Muslim country in the
world do Hindus enjoy equal rights as the Muslims do in Hindu India.
3) A
Broad summary of instances
of atrocities and injustices inflicted upon Hindus by the Muslims:
a) Genocide of some 50-
100 million Hindus by some estimates during 700 years of cruel Islamic tyranny
including Hindu Kush - the worst in the history of mankind, and demolition,
vandalizing and looting of tens of thousands of temples and conversion to
mosques;
b) They massacred some
20,000 people in
Calcutta in August 1946 in three days to force Congress to accept partition
against Mahatma Gandhi's declaration of "Partition over my dead body";
c) Massacre of millions
Hindus and Sikhs during the partition in 1947;
d) Over three million, mostly Hindus were massacred in East Pakistan, now
Bangladesh, and the exodus of some 9 million Bangladeshi Hindus to India as
refugees in early 1970's, when the Indian army had to intervene to rescue the
populace;
e)
These self styled Islamist victims have expelled, exterminated and ethnically
cleansed the entire Hindu and Sikh populations from
Kashmir
region since 1989;
f) The recent incessant
terrorist Jihadist attacks in various parts of
India
have cost hundreds of lives.
g) Forcible conversion of millions of Hindus into Islam.
In fact 98 % of Muslims in
India are a converted
lot. A
particular note should be taken of the fact that there was not a single Muslim
in India prior to 711 AD.
h) Imposition of Jazzia
(penalty tax) on Hindus for not becoming Muslims.
i)
Thirty million Bangladeshi Muslims have
illegally infiltrated in to
India
thereby stressing India’s economy, civil society and posing a security threat.
j) The ethnic cleansing of
Hindus & Sikhs in
Pakistan where they are now less than one percent reduced from over 23 percent
at the time of partition and in Bangladesh where they are now about 8
percent from over 30 percent at the time of partition in 1947.
4) Relentless
Acts of Islamic terrorism:
It may be recalled that
after the terrorist attack on the Indian Parliament on
December 13, 2002 there was
a massive build up of Indian forces on
Indo-
Pakistan
border that sent an unmistakable message to
Pakistan
and the Jihadists about the possible severe consequences. Unfortunately,
under the UPA regime the terrorists have received a boost courtesy of the
appeasement policy, religion based reservations and politically motivated Sachar
commission’s recommendations. Even after the increased frequency
of bombings in India, the Prime Minister of India, Manmohan Singh, has refused
to activate POTA in the country.
Most recently on
July 25-26, 2008 the
attacks and bomb blasts in Bangalore and Ahmadabad, another in Jaipur in May
2008 killed hundreds and injured many hundreds of innocent men, women and
children. Over the past years, major terrorist strikes have been engineered by
Pakistan-backed Islamist groups in Delhi, Bangalore, Ayodhya, Mumbai, Varanasi,
Hyderabad, Malegaon, Panipat ('Samjhauta Express'), Ajmer and Ludhiana, with
lesser attacks at a number of other locations.
Earlier, the terrorist
attacks on CPRF and in UP courts were a part
of an ongoing series.
India, a soft
state, for the Islamic jihadists particularly under the current governance, had
a renewed series of terrorist attacks on Friday, November 23, 2007
when bombs carried on bicycles ripped through courts in
Lucknow ,
Faizabad and Varanasi and killed at least 14 people. This should be taken as the
latest warning specifically that Bin Laden, Mullah Omar and Musharraf
guided Islamic jihad will not let the Indian Govt. or its judiciary to function
against the wishes of the fundamentalist crusaders.
Jihadist terrorist attacks
on Hindus and their temples continue in the country. The temples such as
Raghunath, Akshardham, etc were specially targeted. In fact
Varanasi,
the most revered holy city of Hindus , bore the brunt of Islamist terrorist
attacks twice. On March 7, 2006, at least 21 Hindus were killed and scores
injured in bombings at Sankat Mochan temple and the railway station in Varanasi.
Before that, terrorists had made an abortive bid to attack the Ram Mandir in
Ayodhya. In
Kashmir
alone hundreds of temples were looted, desecrated, burnt, destroyed and some of
them turned into mosques. The latest crisis on Amarnath land issue is also the
continuation of the same anti-Hindu crusade.
5) In
J&K State
Hindu Institutions are being destroyed at an unprecedented Scale:
Muslim
protests led by the PDP to deny 100 acres of barren land for setting up
temporary shelters for Hindu pilgrims transiting to Amarnath shrine during
summer months is a recent example of the Taliban like intolerance demonstrated
by the Muslim majority Govt. in Kashmir.
The process
of desecration, loot, vandalizing and destruction of temples has continued in
J&K under the anti-Hindu Islamic rule through generations with intent to wipe
out all traces of religious and cultural symbols of Hindus. These targets,
besides the temples, included libraries, schools, universities and ashrams.
After the country became free and
Kashmir
acceded to the Union of India in 1947, the destruction and desecration of
temples under the new Islamic regimes wearing secular turbans received added
impetus and acceleration.
Temple lands,
cremation grounds and other such entities belonging to Hindus were usurped and
utilized for expansion of the Islamic populace. The famous Bhairavnath
temple
of Chattabal , Srinagar was locked up by the police. The judicial case pending
in court concerning this temple was never allowed to be decided. Precious lands
around Hari Parbat hill, Durganag temple of Srinagar and lands at several Hindu
places of worship in the Valley were slowly and steadily turned into lands under
the occupation of the Muslim trusts (Maqboozai-Ahali-Islam).
6) The law
and order situation in
Kashmir since
1986 deteriorated progressively and temple desecration became the order of the
day.
The Islamic
fundamentalist conspiracy against Hindus received unqualified support from the
Pan Islamic Movement and from across the border. Here are some of the glaring
examples that defy and shred into a million pieces the tall claims made by the
Muslim leaders of Kashmir about their dedication and adherence to nationalism,
multiculturalism, secularism, Kashmiriyat and religious freedom.
In 1967,
Shivala temple, Chotta Nazar,
Srinagar was
desecrated. Again in 1984 Shri Hanuman temple at Hari Singh High Street
was damaged and in the same year Arya Samaj
temple of
Wazir Bagh , Srinagar was burnt down.

There have
been reports of further destruction of some 39 temples in
Kashmir
after
December 6, 1992
for which FIR were filed. Please note that FIRs on all destruction cases were
not filed with the authorities in view of the complicity of the administration
and warnings of retaliation against the complainants by the Islamic terrorists.
These
examples represent only a fraction of the systematic mass destruction of
thousands of temples in J&K after independence of
India
when the Islamists assumed the total and unfettered control of the state.
But now the Amarnath imbroglio is
bound to bury the Govt. promoted Islamist tyranny in
Kashmir.
8) The
facilities for Haj pilgrimage by Hindu
India are
unmatched - not even the Islamic countries provide such patronage:
India
provides an airfare subsidy to more than 100,000 pilgrims selected by the Haj
Committee of India who go for Haj annually. According to official figures, this
subsidy was Rs 280 crores in 2006 or about Rs 28,000 per pilgrim. Today, with
rising fuel prices, this figure would have gone up to Rs 350-400 crores.
For the
convenience of pilgrims, charter flights are operated directly from 16 airports
in
India to Saudi Arabia. Returning pilgrims can transport 10 liters of holy Zam
Zam water with them free of cost. At
Delhi
airport there is a separate Haj terminal. To improve the comfort of pilgrims,
Air
India has been advised to use wide-body jets in future for their Haj flights.
There is a
separate Haj cell in the ministry of external affairs. The Haj Committee of
India has its own premises in Mumbai. Similarly the State Haj Committees have
their own premises in various other Indian cities. These facilities have been
built on land provided by the state governments. Yet the Muslims and their
Kashmir government denied a mere 100 acres of forest land for building temporary
shelter for Amarnath bound Pilgrims!
For the
Muslims however, the Govt. provided accommodation in
Mecca
and Medina is decided keeping in mind the need to provide maximum convenience
and comfort to the pilgrims. Typically, all accommodation has lifts, telephones,
running water, electricity and telephone at the minimum. There is total
computerization of pilgrim location and movement. During Haj, a large contingent
of seasonal local staff, supervisors, data entry operators, as well as drivers
and messengers (whose job is to round up and bring home safely elderly pilgrims
who may have got lost) is appointed by the consulate general of India, Jeddah,
during the Haj period.
For Haj 2007,
a contingent of 115 doctors (including 63 specialists with post-graduate
degrees) and 141 nurses and other para-medical staff, 3 coordinators, 46
assistant Haj officers, 165 Haj assistants and 186 Khadimul Hujjaj were sent
from India on short-term deputation to Saudi Arabia. Special attention is given
to medical facilities for the pilgrims.
It is not the
Central Govt. alone that has been lavishly spending Hindu taxpayer’s money on
Haj subsidy -- almost all State Governments have set up Haj houses. In fact, the
State Governments across the country spend roughly about Rs 1,000 crore annually
for the Haj pilgrims. The government in
Delhi
is constructing a six storey Haj house at a cost of Rs. 30 crores.
9)
Preferential treatment of Muslims by Govt. is unconstitutional:
The official commitment for
Aurangzebish, unconstitutional and privileged treatment to the Muslims by Govt.
in enforcing the politically motivated Sachar Report, Prime Minister's
commitment for first preference to Muslims, his 15 point plan for the Muslims;
and enforcing a communal quota system in employment and even at the topmost
technical and management institutions - not practiced
by any other country is absolutely baffling.
Such naked discriminatory policies have the potential of leading the country
towards a new dismemberment. The uncalled for and unconstitutional largesse
amounts to open bribery and class war, initiated by Congress, for clinging to
power.
10)
Exaggerated and false Islamic propaganda on
Gujarat
riots must be exposed:
As stated
earlier the
Gujarat
riots so widely publicized were a spontaneous reaction against the burning of
some 60 Hindu pilgrims in a train at Godhra,
Gujarat. The
highly exaggerated reports about these riots by anti-Indians and Islamists,
foreign owned Indian media and their sponsors, hide the fact that the Muslims
themselves were the cause and the culprits of this upheaval. There is a
concerted effort to defame Hindus and their leaders with the sole aim of
Islamizing India and establishing a Darul Islam.
How can we ever
forget the fact that India was partitioned on the basis of religion, as the
Muslim leaders proclaimed that they were a separate nation and therefore, were
unable to live with Hindus in a single country? They
demanded a country of their own and the British masters readily obliged them.
Mr. Khan and
his brand of Islamic society need to do some introspection on their own past
violent crusades against Hindus. Using Mr. Khan's language of calling Shri Modi
and his party "self styled Hitler and fascists, etc" is rather ironic. By the
same token the way Mr. Khan has unleashed his anti-Modi tirade rooted in
Islamist thinking, he too could be called "Mr. Goebbels" of terrorists –
Goebbels being Hitler's propaganda man. The spate of terrorism in
Bangalore and
Ahmedabad in India on July 25-26 and the Amarnath Land imbroglio could possibly
have been incited by people like him and his recent provocative articles and
utterances.
Perhaps US
Homeland security should take a note and look into any possible links between
his outfit and the terrorist organizations like Al Qaeda, Taliban, and
Mujahideen etc. For Mr. Khan’s satisfaction the most popular Chief Minister of a
progressive Indian state has much to do at home for renovating people’s lives
including that of the Muslim citizenry of
Gujarat.
Unlike some self styled leaders he does not need to visit foreign countries with
a view to strengthening his political base at home.
11) Mr. Khan
and the people of his politico-religious persuasion must realize that by now the
curtain has been lifted:
The global
community understands their inability and incapacity to coexist with members of
other religious formations. The hard core Muslims like him believe that they
must live by the Islamic trilogy consisting of the Koran, Hadith and Sira, which
are considered to constitute the complete way of life for them. Tragically such
a way of life is in direct conflict with democracy and freedom to practice one’s
religion therefore, the prospects of coexistence in harmony with other
religionists is rather unthinkable.
Under these
circumstances unless Islam is tamed and/or reformed
the continuation of civilizational war would
remain a reality. With more than a billion free people of
India,
exercising freedom in every walk of their lives, unlike in most of the Islamic
countries, the “siege of
India
” as envisaged by Mr. Khan’s Islamists has absolutely no prospect of succeeding.
The freedom- loving Indians like Mr. Modi will not sacrifice their liberties and
way of life for any amount of petro-dollars and out dated regressive religious
philosophy which promises nothing but ideological slavery. Indian people did not
accept the slavery of the British imperialism and tyranny of the Muslims sultans
and there is no way in hell they will accept the slavery of the fundamentalist
wahabies. On the other hand
the day is not
far away when not only in India but all over the world “jihad” will be outlawed
as a crime against humanity thus putting terrorists, Islamists and
fundamentalists out of business.

Keeping an
avatar of Hitler from the U.S.
By
MUQTEDAR KHAN • July 15, 2008
Nishrin
Hussein, a resident of
Delaware
since 1989, suffered immeasurable trauma in February 2002. Her father, Ehsan
Jafferi, a former member of the Indian national parliament and a poet, was
dragged out of his house and burned alive by a rampaging mob.
In that week more than 2,000 members of a religious minority were killed and
burned, more than 150,000 were rendered homeless and many women were raped,often
as police watched and stubbornly refused to protect religious minorities in
Gujarat,
a state in
India .
According to human rights organizations, Indian government commissions and even
the U.S. government, the man ultimately responsible for this state-facilitated
genocide was Narender Modi, then and now the chief minister of
Gujarat
again.
Modi is now
seeking a
U.S. visa to
come and speak to his supporters and admirers in New Jersey in August. His visit
also forces victims like Nishrin Hussein to relive their trauma.
Narender Modi
belongs to a Hindu fascist movement that seeks to make
India a
global power by first religiously and culturally purifying it through
elimination of religious minorities. International Religious Freedom Reports,
prepared by the U.S. State Department, implicate Narender Modi's political party
-- the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its religious affiliates in systematic
killings of Muslims and Christians and burning of their homes and businesses,
year after year.
Modi is a
self-styled disciple of Adolf Hitler. He has often expressed his admiration for
Hitler and even members of his own party sometimes refer to him as the Hitler of
India. In
Gujarat
, Adolf Hitler is glorified in higher secondary school textbooks. Modi and the
state of Gujarat's growing admiration for Hitler has even spooked Israel .
Former Israeli Councilor General David Zohar Zonshine has made significant
efforts to rectify the matter, including holding exhibitions to educate Modi's
followers about the Holocaust. But textbooks printed before Israeli protests are
still being used in schools.
Modi
frightens me. I think he is sowing the seeds of hatred and preparing the people
of
Gujarat
for a bigger and more ominous genocide in the future.
Modi now
wishes to mobilize his supporters in
New Jersey .
Fortunately, a broad spectrum of Indians in America, American academics, human
rights organizations and members of the U.S. Congress, like Betty McCollum (D-
Minn.) have come together to forge a coalition against genocide and are pressing
the State Department to reject this avatar (re-incarnation) of Hitler.
The Indian
elite, empowered by recent economic successes, wish to piggyback on the
U.S.
to superpower status. They wish to forge a new strategic alliance with the U.S.
that will facilitate the transfer of critical military technology, attract
financial investments, open
U.S.
markets to Indian businesses and enlist U.S. diplomatic support for Indian
ascendancy.
Modi seeks to
increase his influence in the
United States
. He also wishes to increase fundraising from the rich Indian American community
to finance his politics in
India
. It is vital to his cause that he has intimate access to the U.S.
At the
moment, Hindu nationalists cannot have both Modi as a national leader and the
U.S.
as vehicle to global power. As long as Modi is shunned by the U.S. , he is
ineligible for national office. It is therefore essential for his supporters to
purify his image, and they hope to do so by bullying the U.S. government into
allowing him entry. If he was received in the U.S. , he will be projected in
India
as a leader of global stature.
U.S. law on
international religious freedom prohibits the State Department from allowing
people who commit egregious violations from coming to the U.S. Modi is now
enforcing a new law against religious conversions in Gujarat which primarily
targets Christians. This single act of curbing religious consciousness triggers
a section of that law and alone makes him ineligible for a
U.S.
visa. The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedoms has also asked the
State Department to deny Modi.
The Bush
administration has been excellent on this issue, so far. In 2005 it not only
denied Modi a diplomatic visa, but also rescinded a valid tourist visa
underscoring his status as an untouchable. All the signals from the State
Department suggest that the
U.S. will
reject any new application from Modi.
All politics
is now global. The struggle between secular Hindus and minorities and Hindu
nationalism has spilled over to Foggy Bottom and Capitol Hill. The
U.S. cannot
stay away. It must engage and fight with the Coalition Against Genocide to
preserve India 's democracy and its pluralistic traditions.
