Islam Under Scrutiny by Ex-Muslims

Government and Media Collusion in Downplaying Latest Delhi Terror Blasts

Cable TV viewers in Delhi were witness to a curious series of obfuscations and denials on the part of Media Pundits and various Government Officials. Although several eyewitnesses unequivocally spoke of how two strangers on a speeding motorbike left a bomb in a black polythene bag that exploded (possibly twice) soon after it was innocently handled by a young child, most media channels and police officials attempted to describe it as an ‘accident’ caused by a gas cylinder blast.
While more than one eyewitness set the time of the terror blast at 2.05 or 2.06, most media channels set the time at 2.15,while some even suggested it to be 2:45. Even as a few channels interviewed eyewitnesses who confirmed that at least two children had died immediately after the blasts with their vital organs severed from their bodies, the police and media channels spoke of only one death. As news of deaths of those rushed to hospital filtered through, a few media channels began raising the death toll accordingly. At one point, Times Now was reporting 5 deaths, but miraculously, this number was reduced to just one an hour later.

Even as eyewitnesses described the blasts as deafening enough to be heard a kilometer away, and even as closer eyewitnesses described how blood and vital organs flew out from the victims bodies and seriously injured several bystanders and damage extended to several shops and houses in the vicinity, media analysts insisted upon describing the blast as a ‘low intensity’ affair.

Only a few channels reported that the Health Minister had admitted that the police had been warned by a phone call originating in Faridabad a day prior to the terror blast. Likewise, only a few channels showed the angst of locals who had to call the police several times before anyone bothered to show up at the scene of the crime at 3.30 – almost an hour and a half after the heinous crime.

Several victims were taken to hospital by relatives or local do-gooders and contrary to claims by channels such as NDTV, Star News and others, they were not all taken to AIIMS. One Hindi channel spoke of some victims taken to Safdarjung Hospitals, while other Hindi channels showed the presence of ambulances from Fortis – a private hospital.

Considering that the attack took place just two weeks after the previous serial blasts and was preceded by a provocative warning, the inaction of the police and medical authorities and other top city officials is simply scandalous. It is also notable that no one from the ruling party or its allies appeared in solidarity with the victims of the blast. Considering that the child who died was the son of a poor migrant worker, one might have expected a word of sympathy from amongst at least one of India’s many Communist Parties.

But none of the dominant media channels tried to bring this out.

All kinds of sorry excuses were provided as to how it may not be a terror conspiracy. It was suggested that because there was no ‘warning email’ it may have been a mere accident or the work of some local disgruntled youths.

No one dared to suggest the obvious – that it may have been revenge for the recent arrests of several members of active Islamic terror cells emanating from Azamgarh and using Jamia Milia as a safe haven. That it may have been engineered to confuse the investigations, to make the Delhi police appear incompetent and to demoralize those who were appearing to make progress in the terror investigation.

In recent days, India’s pro-Islamic media has been working overtime to defend those arrested for the previous blasts. Instead of investigating the long history of Jamia’s association with SIMI and other virulently sectarian and narcissistic Islamic terror organisations, instead of dispassionately disseminating the growing body of circumstantial evidence that connects those arrested with multiple acts of terror, they have been harping on the tired old ‘Muslims as Victims’ refrain.

Azamgarh has an old history of aligning with crime and terror. An extraordinary number of Muslim-dominated crime gangs have been traced to Azamgarh. Wealth from crime syndicates, circulation of fake currency notes and earnings from the Persian Gulf have brought a measure of prosperity to several Muslim-majority villages in the region. None of those arrested for terror links were poor. They owned laptops and cellphones. Several had multiple bank accounts with transactions in the lakhs (100 thousand)adding up to crores (10 million) over the last few years.

Yet, the media refused to challenge the audacious claims of the Jamia authorities that the terrorists were just ‘innocent students’. No media analyst was aghast by the Education Ministers tolerance for the use of public educations funds being misused to defend terrorists. None tried to expose Mulayam or Lallu’s perfidious defence of SIMI – an organization whose ideology reeks of Islamic Imperialism and barely disguised contempt and intolerance for India’s Hindu majority.

In the wake of recent and earlier acts of mass terror against the people of India, it is startling to see how not a single Muslim or supposedly ‘secular’ member of India’s intellectual and political elite has displayed even a smattering of human sympathy for the grief or sorrow for the victims of Islamic terror.

By and large, the worst victims of India’s Islamic terror have been the poor and the migrant working class. But rather than stand in solidarity with them, it is shocking how all of India’s Communist Parties have bent over backwards to protect Islamic reactionaries and violent terrorists.

They have repeated ad nauseam how Islam has been a religion of peace and how Muslims are just innocent victims of Hindu zealots, conveniently forgetting how Islam was brought to Northern India by slave traders who in the name of Islam boasted of their many acts of mass terror and destruction. Islam reached the Gangetic plain with sword in one hand and an utter ideological disdain for the Hindu ‘infidels’ of the subcontinent. To now pretend that Islam came to India ‘peacefully’ or that there was any universal spirit of humanism in Islam is utterly disingenuous.

For too long, a cross section of Indian intellectuals has connived to hide or minimize the crimes of Islam in India. They have tried to conceal the fact that at its core, Islam was (and remains) an alien religion whose adherents (like later British colonizers) have repeatedly exploited caste and other divisions amongst Hindus to conquer the subcontinent and to expropriate its once prolific wealth. SIMI and Jamia are just modern faces of the same sectarian imperial mindset that continues to divide and demoralize the hapless Hindu.

Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that more and more genuinely secular Indians will have to reassess their view of the world. It would be no surprise if they were to conclude that the greatest enemy of secular harmony and peaceful progress in India are not the forces of Hindutva but those deceitful Hindu liberals who repeatedly make common cause with hardened Islamic terrorists who have no sympathy or empathy for their Hindu brethren.

So far, Hindu apologists for sectarian Muslims, for Muslim extremists and terrorists, have been tolerated because they have developed fortress-like vote banks based on narrow caste and religious loyalties. Arjun Singh, Amar Singh, Lallu Prasad and Karunanidhi have repeatedly played the caste card to conceal their venality and incompetence.

Patriarchal politicians and leaders of India’s various left parties who have turned a blind eye to the crimes of Islam have escaped opprobrium because too many Hindus remain trapped in a whirlpool of caste and gender divisions, and Muslims with progressive instincts are too intimidated by their own clerical and intellectual elites.

But once Hindu (and Muslim) women become truly free from the psychological prison of patriarchy and Hindu (and Muslim) men liberate themselves from the vices of nepotism (and other sectarian loyalties), and understand that progress requires humanism, merit and equal opportunity, their consciousness will be transformed, and they will no longer allow themselves to become fodder for cynical politicians who make common cause with Islamic terrorists.

Until then, it is becoming increasingly obvious that under the duplicitous leadership of Sonia Gandhi and her coterie of spineless sycophants, India will remain largely impotent in combating the scourge of Islamic terrorism.

And if prominent Muslims continue to refuse any condemnation and exposure of the terrorists within, more and more Indians will see Islam as the nation’s biggest curse.

No amount of historic or contemporary falsifications will help. A nation that graduates the world’s largest pool of scientists and engineers will surely see through the web of fabrications that have been perpetrated to dupe its hitherto pliant citizenry.

India’s destiny cannot be held hostage by misanthropic journalists and avaricious and grasping politicians who willfully align with the forces of medieval darkness.

Politicians are concerned about their vote banks rather than the security of the nation. Secular values in their view is to pander muslim extremists and disparage the Hindus in their own country. This will not change unless people throw these corrupt and amoral politicians and elect persons of integrity and those who are above serving just the narrow sectarian interests and lining their pockets with public money purportedly meant for public good! Otherwise there is no salvation from this malady, if you are unwilling to address the problems of terrorism ,be it islamic, MAOist, Naxalites, separatists or a bunch of extreme rightwing hindus (which is a misnomer since from times immemorial extremism was alien to Hinduism ,but copied from the semetic cults of Islam and christianity, both of which are proselytising creeds bent on promoting their cult debunking and exterminating all other creeds). In short the politicians have no honesty in addressing any of the people's problems sincerely be it education, health, economy or god administration, unless their partisan interests are not served! This may sound pessimistic like a Doomsday Sermon ,but it is a FACT nevertheless!

the problem is with our way of electing the representative of the house or what ever we vote for. we dont vote for democracy. but we vote for different way's a democracy can be defined. thats why we have some shit letter head party dominating the state politics. eg Mulayam for UP lalu for bihar. they just want to stay in power. mention one politician that has died in a blast. none. i think that we bring them to power so that their family can live securely not ours. they will have all A to Z security. while we wait in traffic so that they can pass off. imagine the feeling of a police officer when he has to salute a person less educated than him or has a criminal case against him which he cannot proceed as he will be transferred to another district or may be another state as a routine transfer. i think the constitution was defined to protect the public but now i see that its only used to protect the people with money or power. thats INDIA. we are all maharashtrian, kannadiga, tamilian, mallu, gujrati, bengali and please forgive me if any other state that i have forgot to mention. forget the radicals kill the shitty rules of electing our leaders our great leaders, the pillars of democracy.

While my heart goes out for the victims of Islamic terrorism in India, I do not understand why the Hindus attack peaceful Christians in Orrissa And other states. The Christian wish to live in Peace as loyal Indian citizens. The do not believe in terrorism and that is the reward they get from the depraved and corard Hindus and the Important Indian Government. The Government should act firmly against these devious Hindus. Their tolerance for the peaceful Christians is only skin deep. They remain evil at heart because they do not worship the Living God. They will never ever have Peace.

Christianity is a proselytising creed as you rightly said. One of the central principles of christianity is to spread the good news of Jesus Christ. There is no creed which has not spread or is not sustained by preaching. You must understand that religion and spirituality is in the domain of ideas and thought and not just blind belief. It is only natural for any human being to declare publicly and communicate what he or she firmly believes in. To stop that is to stop the freedom of expression without which no society can progress. Look at the democracies of europe, america where freedom of expression is encouraged. No one is forbidden from practising their creed or propagating it. These societies cling to the freedom of expression and they are the most progressive and prosperous societies. Just as the Darwinian theory of survival of the fittest applies to the natural world, a similar principle applies to the realm of spirituality and ideas, philosophies etc. Only the best ideas will thrive and prosper and gain popular appeal. Who is the most capable of defeating Islam? The answer is very clear. The western societies with their ideas of freedom, egalitarianism, etc. These are the dominant societies of our time. How did it get that way? because the ideas and ideals they hold dear gave them that power. If those ideas were flawed western societies would be backward like islamic societies. Christianity with its liberating influence has helped western societies in their march to progress. If that was not the case western societies would be backward. Only societies which are uncertain of the correctness and strength of their ideas react with aggression and use violence against those who propagate their faith through peaceful means. As is happening occasionally in certain parts of India. If these groups were absolutely confident of the strength of their ideas they would not resort to such crude behaviour. It is a sign of their insecurity. In Europe and America there are absolutely no bounds on the propagation of ones faith as is the case in islamic countries. That is because they are confident about the ideas on which their society is based, christianity being one of them. See the islamic countries where no propagation of non islamic faiths is allowed. The most backward of all societies. The difference is very clear. India should not join and I am confident will not join the ranks of closed societies. We have a very good document called the constitution which is a good guide in such matters. We must follow it rather than trying to turn a blind eye to what it declares.

Islam was spread piecefully. (notice the spelling). I do not know a lot about Indian politics, but I think I understand politics. Politics is about appeasing, lying, and manipulation. It sounds that the priniciples of political correctness are crippling the Indian Subcontinent just they are crippling Europe and the Americas.

To balam: Hindus respect all creeds , not only chritianity but also islam. But this sentiment is not reciprocated by muslims and christians. Muslims ,ofcourse, the whole world knows are fed on a hate the 'kaffirs' agenda, hence beyond redemption. Most christians get along with other communities ,but there are of late some who have started debunking , insulting local cultures and sensibilties. These are the 'evangelists' kind who call hindus sinners fit to go to Hell if they do not convert to christianity - the hindus are supposed to be heathens, pagans, uncultured worshipping so many gods , many with animal heads or limbs ,etc These idiots don't understand the philosophy of hinduism respecting all animals, plants, trees, mountains,all elements of nature promoting the oneness of humanity with its environment. We are not apart from Narure , we are just a part of it , and we need Nature more than Nature needs us. There is nothing barbaric about it . Todays scientists and environmentalists are crying hoarse over our indiscriminate raping and destruction of our forests making many species of animals extinct for loss of their habitat. There is nothing illogical in respecting and revering our Mother Nature rather than some fictitious nonexisting superman ( for which there is absolutly no evidence of such a "creator") called "God/Yahweh? Allah, etc". These evangelists christians talk about Jesus Christ saving us when he could not save himself from such a humiliating and ignoble end ,moaning "O father why did you forsake me"!Mind you India was the land which welcomed St Thomas somewhere around 52 AD in Kerala, Jews had been in India since time before our common era still practicing their faith, the Iranians ( called Parsees in India) came to India after the onslaught of Arabs in their country converting by sword to islam or just slaughtering them en masse and ever since practiced their faith for centuries with nobody trying to convert to hinduism, and there are many instances of tolerance and understanding in the history of India where many indegenous faiths flourished like Budhism, Jainism, Saivism, Vaishnavism, Shaktism, etc apart from foreign creeds like islam, christianity , judaism or zoroastrianism. Both islam and Christianity are exclusivist creeds that thrive on destroying all indigenous cultures to impose their dogma. This is certainly not acceptable to any self respecting human being. Will the muslims or Christians tolerate it if we were to say you are all pagans, heathen convert or you will go to Hell , forcing something alien down their throats ?!However that does'nt mean I am justifying the violence - after all who taught us intolerance and bigotry : Islam and Christianity!

Dear Mr. Khan, before you label muslims as terrorist, let me give you a lesson on terrorism. I hope you can publish this to all your fans. here goes, All Muslims may not be terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims." This comment , frequently heard after the Mumbai bomb blasts implies that terrorism is a Muslim specialty, if not a monopoly. The facts are very different. First, there is nothing new about terrorism. In 1881, anarchists killed the Russian Tsar Alexander II and 21 bystanders. In 1901, anarchists killed US President McKinley as well as King Humbert I of Italy. World War I started in 1914 when anarchists killed Archduke Ferdinand of Austria. These terrorist attacks were not Muslim. Terrorism is generally defined as the killing of civilians for political reasons. Going by this definition, the British Raj referred to Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad and many other Indian freedom fighters as terrorists. These were Hindu and Sikh rather than Muslim......

Editor:

Dear Candy,

The Nazis committed terrorism because of Nazi ideology; the Communists did because of their doctrines; Indian nationalists did for the desire for independence, and so on. There is no harm in discussing the reasons for the violence committed by those people for their own reasons. Similarly, there should be no problem discussing the Islamic doctrines, claim Muslim terrorists, that inspires them into terrorists acts they commit. I urge you not to distract the readers but to refute the points made in our articles.

I have been shocked, not by the terrorist act - nothing unexpected in that - but by the support that the terrorists are recieving from Arjun Singh. Time is not far off when we will have insurance for terrorists ( paid for by the Govt), a benevolent fund for terrorists' families etc, and the dhimmis ( like Arjun Singh, The Hindu newspaper etc ) will shout from the rooftops that this is in the national interest - after all the terrorists are some of the nicest persons around - needing our support and help.
