ISLAMIC TERRORISM:
A THREAT TO INDIAN POLITY
by: Narain Kataria : Editorial for 8-22-00
Islamic terrorism in India has assumed an alarming proportion.
More than three dozen militant Muslim organizations (some of them
listed below) armed with most dangerous weapons and trained by ISI
in Afghanistan and Pakistan are operating with impunity and
systematically eliminating Hindu leaders espousing the cause of
Hindu society.
Muslims have terrorized Hindus to such an extent that no Hindu
leader/movie producer/builder/industrialist feels safe in his own
country. Leaders like Atal Bihari Vajpayee, L.K. Advani, and
Balasaheb Thackeray are under threat of death. Balasaheb
Thackeray and his family are being protected by 261 security
guards, according to India Tribune weekly published from Chicago.
In a recent interview with PTI, Kashmir Minister of State for
Home, Mr. Mushtaq Ahmad Lone is reported to have said that 10,514
militancy-related incidents were committed by terrorist groups
since 1996 and these included 646 grenade attacks, 920 bomb
explosions, 618 incidents of arson, 123 rocket attacks and 2,868
incidents of random firing. During this period, 2,868
civilians were also killed by ultras.
The situation is fraught with dangerous consequences.
Muslim gangsters threaten and kill any Hindu
builder/producer/director of Bollywood if he refuses to pay ransom
to Muslim underworld. In Muslim majority districts like
Mallapuram in Kerala and Communist ruled state of West Bengal, the
writ of Indian government does not run.
In order to destabilize India and weaken Indian Army,
ammunition depots in Bharatpur in Rajasthan (which caused $1.5
billion loss to tax-payers) and other cities are being destroyed
by Islamic militants.
As demonstrated below, situation as prevailing in 1946 in which
more than 5,000 Hindus were butchered in one day in Calcutta by
Islamic mobs, has arisen again. The gravity of the situation
can well be gauged by looking at the calibrated escalation and
violent intensification of terrorist activities by the soldiers of
Islam.
In 1993, Indian Muslims in collaboration with Dawood Ibrahim
exploded bombs at 13 places in Bombay killing 257 persons besides
maiming 713 other. On February 14, 1998, volunteers of Al-Umma
sent three human bombs to assassinate Union Home Minister Shri L.K.
Advani in Coimbatore. The serial blasts took 50 lives,
maimed 200 more and destroyed property worth millions of dollars.
One more attempt was made on the life of L.K. Advani and Chief
Minister of Gujarat on October 13, 1998 by a Muslim Abu Kasim
alias Ajmal.
When the Kargil conflict had just begun, on May 16, 1999,
leaders of the Muslim organization Jamaat-e-Islami Hind organized
huge meetings in Cooch Behar in West Bengal, and in menacing tones
exhorted Muslim to support "Mujahideen" who were
fighting against "oppressive Indian forces" in Kashmir.
Communist Party of India (M), known for its treacherous role in
Independence Movement, connived at these anti-national
activities and chose to turn a blind eye.
Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), a militant outfit
openly advocating "liberation" from India and trying to
whip up communal passions among the youth, organized three ikhwans
(congregations) in Kanpur (October 29-31), Aurangabad (November
5-7) and Malappuram (November 12-14, 1999). This blatantly
communal organization is opposed to democracy, secularism and
nationalism and projects the master terrorist, Osama bin Laden, as
a "true follower of Islam"! It is
believed that recorded cassettes of speeches of Pakistani militant
Masood Azhar, that surfaced in Kanpur in January, was also the
handiwork of SIMI, which has built a strong base in Kanpur, Rampur,
Moradabad, Saharanpur, Lucknow and Azamgarh (some of the districts
where SIMI propaganda is being carried out on a large scale.
SIMI is preparing Muslims for Jehad all over India and is soon to
become a virtual tinder box if its activities are not curbed with
an iron hand. BJP Government in UP and at the Center, even
though aware of SIMI's sinister designs, is afraid of taking any
action against its leaders.
Indian Muslim Mohammadi Mujahideen (IMMM), another Muslim
militant organization, which aims at liberation of Hyderbadad has
close links with SIMI and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), a terrorist group
active in Kashmir Valley. It has exploded bombs at Lamba Talkies,
and near the high-security Defense Research and Development
Laboratory, Venkateshwar Talkies in Karimnagar, Sharda Theatre in
Nanded. It bombed a candy store owned by a RSS sympathizer
in Moghalpura in Hyderabad. IMMM's commander Azam Ghauri, a
Nizamabad resident and top LeT leader, involved in 1993 Mumbai
serial blasts, was recently shot dead by police after he pulled
out his 7.65 mm Mauser pistol. Ghauri was connected with People's
War Group and trained by LeT in Pakistan. Before that Abdul Karim
Tunda and Ghauri formed Tanzim Islahul Muslimeen (TIM), ostensibly
to defend Muslims. They recruited Jaleel Ansari, a doctor by
profession educated at the expenses of Indian tax-payers, who
helped Gauri and Tunda set off a series of 43 explosions in Mumbai
and Hyderabad and seven separate explosions on trains on December
6, 1993.
For the information of your readers, listed herewith are some
of the militant organizations which (most of them) openly preach
hatred and violence against Kafirs (Hindus-Sikhs, Jains and
Buddhists) and are working to establish Nizame-Mustafa (Islamic
domination) in India: (1) Muslim Volunteer Force, (2)
Islamic Revolutionary Front, (3) Islamic Liberation Army of Assam,
(4) Jamait-e-Islami, (4) Hurriyat Conference, (5) Jamit-al-Quran
Hadis, (6) Tamilnadu Muslim Munnetra Kazhagam, (7) Al Ummah, (8)
Islamic Movement of India, (8) Student Islamic Movement of India,
(9) Islamic Youth Center, (10) Jihad Committee, (11) Muslim United
Liberation Tigers of Assam, (12) Muslim Liberation Front of Assam,
(13) Al Huda, (14) Jehad, (15) Tehreek-ul-Mujahideen, (16)
National Democratic Front, (17) Mili Parliament, and (18)
Indian Muslim Mohammadi Mujahideen.
Listed below are names of some of the Hindu leaders who were
murdered by Muslim goons: Ramdas Nayak, BJP (MP), Prem Kumar
Sharma, BJP, Mr. More Shiv Sena MLA, BJP leader Swami Raj Kotal,
P. Rajgopalan of Hindu Munnani, Veera Ganeshan of Hindu Munnani,
Manickam and Selvraj of BJP, Bible Shanmugham, Pandit Tikka Lal
Taploo, Geetaben B. Shah, animal lover, Shri Chittaranjan, BJP
leader from Bhatkal, Shri Thampi from Kuttipuram and 11 RSS
volunteers in bomb blast in Chennai.
Dawood Ibrahim, Chotta Shakeel and Abu Salems gangs are
notorious for bombing, killing, extortion and all other underworld
activities. Any Hindu producer/director, actor who flouts
their dicta is bumped off. In a recent dastardly attack,
Gulshan Kumar was murdered in the broad-day-light allegedly by
Muslim Music Director Nadeem. A bomb attack was made on the
life of Mani Ratnam, the famous director of movie Bombay.
Daler Mehndi, Rakesh Roshan, J.P. Dutta, Kamal Hassan, were also
threatened and attacked to pay the ransom. Last
month Shiva Sena leaders, Vikas Patil, 26 was dragged out of his
residence and murdered while he was engaged in puja in Navi Mumbai.
Another Hindu leader Sopanrao Nichal, Municipal Corporator was
dragged out of a religious function in May, 2000 and attacked with
a chopper-like instrument on his head, neck and chest.
If any editor/reporter dares to expose the anti-national
activities of Muslims, and in order to demoralize (on one or the
other pretext) peace loving Hindus, Muslims organize attacks on
newspapers owned by Hindus and frighten them into submission.
Recent attack on Indian Express office in Bangalore in which
thousands of Muslims attacked Indian Express office and set on
fire cars is an instance of brazen violence. On June 30, a
violent Muslim mob attacked the office of Pratidin, a local
eveninger published at Bankra area of Howrah District and set
several vehicles ablaze, pelted stones injuring two sub-inspectors
and five constables. The reason which made these religious
fanatics angry was a letter against their co-religionist
Azharuddin whom Hindus had gladly accepted as leader of Indian
Cricket team for so many years.
What has been stated above in only a tip of the iceberg.
The situation is worsening day-by-day. Chronic diseases call
for drastic action. The weak and vacillating attitude of the
Government of India has emboldened these anti-national elements.
Posterity will not forgive us for not liquidating the anti-India
and anti-Hindus forces, guided and motivated by Quranic
injunctions on Muslims which incite them to kill Kafirs:
"Make war on them until idolatry is no more and Allah's
religion reigns supreme" (Surah 8, Ayat 39). People have
given mandate to NDA government led by BJP to govern the country
properly and establish an egalitarian society. The first and
foremost duty of the Government is to protect its citizens from
these lawless elements. Government of India and Hindus can ignore
this warning only at their own peril.
