Shahi Imam Openly Anti-India
In an interview to a Delhi-based
Hindi daily 'Shahi' Imam of Jama Masjid, Sayed Ahmed Bukhari, has gone
to the extent of saying that now he did not want Kashmir to remain a part
of India. "Ab hum nahim chahate kashmir Hindustan ke saath rahe. Mera zamir
isko bardast nahin karta (Now I do not want that Kashmir should remain
in India. My conscience does not allow it)". He added that he wanted at
least one Muslim dominated state in India.

Lessons in Subversive Fundamentalism
An Open Quiz Competition recently
organised by Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) in Gujarati about
current affairs, history and so on, asked: "During the Kargil intrusion
prayers were offered at mosques for the souls of slain Indian soldiers.
But Holy Quran enjoins upon the faithful that to offer such prayers for
the souls of non-believers is unacceptable, so what if the departed are
your own parents. Point out in which Sura of Holy Quran Allah has given
this command" (Q. No. 33). Question (No. 16): "In the Somnath Temple the
Mahants had amassed huge wealth by exploiting the people, and like all
other big temples of India the Devdasi system too was prevalent in it.
Name the person who attacked Somnath in order to destroy this exploitative
system of the Brahmins." General Knowledge (Q. No. 3): "Name the persons
who were released in exchange of the hijack victims of the plane that was
hijacked in the early part of the 21st century". On Literature (No. 19)
"Name the woman writer who recently embraced Islam in order to free herself
from the fire of hell after death."

'Invincible' Weapons of Islam
Mullahs in India, taken out of their
lairs by the Khilafat movement in the first place, as Pt. Motilal Nehru
moaned when they didn't go back, continue to consolidate their fundamentalist
constituency in India through mosques and madarsas, which are playing no
less a subversive role in their ultimate ideological Jehad than those which
have produced Taliban and Lashkar-e-Toiba in Pakistan. The Saudis are funding
construction of a hundred new mosques in India. A Taj Mahal-like new mosque
costing Rs. 8 crore is coming up in Deoband (UP), to which even a Muslim
has protested in the Nehru family's local Urdu daily Qaumi Awaz (Oct. 21,
2000) as 'needless extravagance'. But then, as a Pakistani paper recently
said, the Mosque, the Namaz, the Roza and the Haj are the four invincible
weapons of fundamentalist consolidation.
