'Mohammedanism and Bolshevism are practical,
social, unspiritual monotheistic religions only concerned to win the Empire
of this world. They are devoid of mystical doctrines and love of contemplation'
- Bertrand Russel
Recently the Vadodara Municipal authorities
removed some unauthorised structures like many temples and one Dargah, on
the orders of the Gujarat High Court, in Vadodara City. There were no communal
clashes when the temples were removed as per Court orders. Only when a particular
Dargah was removed, there were violent protests from many Muslims of the area
and subsequently it led to communal clashes resulting in the loss of many
lives and property. The Government of India at that time reacted immediately
by deputing its Minister of State for Home Affairs to closely watch the situation
and report. The Union Home Minister issued a stern warning to that 'unauthorised'
and 'illegal usurper' of authority called Narendra Modi, the so called elected
Chief Minister of Gujarat. The same Central Government adopted an attitude
of cold calculated silence when 34 innocent, unarmed and poor Hindus were
slaughtered by mujahedins in a border village in Doda District in Jammu. No
stern warning (or even a mild warning!) was issued to Gulam Nabi Azad, the
chosen favourite of Sonia Gandhi and the Islam-loving and Hindu-hating UPA
Government in New Delhi. I can only imagine that the might of the Government
of India will always be cast in favour of compassionate (?) mujahedins in
majority and not in favour of peace-loving Hindus or communal infidels or
kafirs in minority in Jammu and Kashmir. According to UPA Government, Narendra
Modi of Gujarat is saffronized, non-secular and communal. Gulam Nabi Azad
is compassionate, secular, non-communal and above all a non-kafir. It is not,
therefore, surprising that Azad-loving Gulam Nabi Azad always rides from a
position of unbeatable strength and authority!
In this context, Hugh Fitzgerald, Jihad Watch
Board Vice President, in a very perceptive article written two weeks ago has
discussed the current Jihad in Jammu and Kashmir and in the Indian subcontinent
in general. He asks the pertinent question: 'Why do Muslim terrorists attack
in Jammu-Kashmir? Because they can. The Muslim claim to Kashmir differs from
their claim to all of India (or for that matter to Spain (Al-Andalus), to
Israel, to Sicily, to the Balkans, to Bulgaria, to Rumania, to Hungary, and
to all the areas once dominated by Muslims) only in the ability to push that
claim. Of course, in the jihadist view the entire world in the end must submit
to Islam and be dominated by Islam though non-Muslims may, should they accept
what many Muslims continue to believe is perfectly just, live under those
unambiguous conditions of humiliation, degradation, and physical insecurity
whose sum is the status we now describe as 'dhimmitude'.
At least the pseudo-secular Islam-embracing
minority UPA Government in New Delhi should officially recognize in all their
actions and overtures that Jammu-Kashmir is part of India. It is not part
of Pakistan. The UPA Government should summarily reject the notion that any
part of India where for historical or other reasons we have a Muslim majority
population, is definitely an area where Muslims will have overriding claims
over the rights and lives of other non-Muslims as a matter of legitimate Islamic
right. By informally conceding this right to the ever compassionate and ever
vigilant terrorists of Jammu and Kashmir, the UPA Government and the Congress
Party have declared to the world that Jammu and Kashmir is a theocratic State
enjoying special rights and special privileges and is in no way different
from Islamic countries like Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Bangladesh
and above all our friend, benefactor, guide and mentor President Musharaff's
Pakistan. By taking such an irresponsible and suicidal attitude, Government
of India have given a clear message to several Muslim-dominated pockets in
India to demand for the creation of mini-Pakistans on par with the constitutionally
ensured theocratic State of Jammu and Kashmir.
To quote Hugh Fitzgerald once again in this
context: 'For what would follow, logically, would be a turning of all sorts
of places within India into little Muslim-ruled areas. And given that the
Muslim rate of population growth is always higher, in India and elsewhere
than the non-Muslim population, and given that Muslims have not hesitated
to push out large numbers of non-Muslims (think of the 400,000 Kashmiri Pundits
forced to flee when threatened with death), either one takes a firm stand
and rejects Muslim demands or, by even hinting at 'negotiating,' one emboldens
the mujahedin.'
Unlike most people in the mafia of mass media
committed to their undeclared objective of transcendental destruction of India,
I fully endorse the view of Hugh Fitzgerald in this matter. I agree with him
that India should not be 'negotiating' over Jammu-Kashmir. There is no possibility
of such a negotiation satisfying Muslims permanently. Since India now possesses
this part of Kashmir (Pakistan also controls a part), any negotiation will
only lead to further Indian concessions, possibly even the surrender of land.
What Pakistan would offer a grand agreement to cease support for cross-border
terrorism is no concession at all. Pakistan cannot offer up as a concession
what it has a moral and legal duty to do anyway.

The Global Human Rights Defence (GHRD) has
taken a very serious view of the terrorist actions in the Jammu & Kashmir
state of India. They have declared through their international website that
the terrorists in Jammu & Kashmir have mercilessly massacred minority
community members. Their investigation clearly indicates that there was a
pre-meditated and pre-planned pattern employed in the killings. The hapless
people, all belonging to the Hindu community, were killed after ascertaining
their names, religion and residences. The people used by the terrorists to
identify the victims were released, once it was ensured that they did not
belong to the Hindu minority community. The revelations point to the fact
that there was a clear intent in the minds and utterances of the terrorists
to ethnically cleanse the Hindu minorities from their ancestral abode. These
gruesome killings have been carried out for the umpteenth time as part of
the diabolical programme of ethnic cleansing launched at the behest of the
Pakistani Army's ISI.
Moral of the story:
'Muslims are the first victims of Islam. Many
times I have observed in my travels in the Orient, that fanaticism comes from
a small number of dangerous men who maintain the others in the practice of
religion by terror. To liberate the Muslim from his religion is the best service
that one can render him'
