FREEDOM FIGHTERS OR JIHADIS

23.7.16

Burhan Wani killing in a encounter with the security forces on 8th of July would have been a cause for celebration in any other Indian state. However in Kashmir it was absolutely the reverse. Large scale violent protests of people took place there. Massive demonstrations were held with protesters throwing stones on the security personnel's. Pitched battles were held between the public and the security forces in almost every district of Kashmir. Till date 44 civilian deaths have been reported. A large number of police personnel's were injured and a few were killed by the rampaging mob. The state is still under a curfew blanket.

It would be interesting to ask why all this protest for a terrorist who was a leading figure of the terrorist organisation Hizbul Mujahideen. This organisation is headed by Syed Sallaudin who is a guest of Pakistan and his entire outfit is being financed by the Pakistani state. Syed Sallaudin is the chairman of the United Jihad Council and claimed responsibility for the Pathankot attack. Thus it is a Jihadi organisation committed to spread Islamic domination through violence and killings. It has close ties with groups like the LeT, JeM, Taliban and Al-Queda. Together they represent a dreaded conglomeration committed to wage Jihad throughout South Asia. They prey on freedom movements like in Kashmir for achieving their goal of establishing a Caliphate. Unfortunately the Kashmiris are unaware that they are being used by these terrorist organisation. Their sons are being lured into these organisations and are being killed for indulging in terrorist activities. Kashmir real problems like unemployment,education and poverty are not the concern of these terrorist organisation. Even tourism which is the main source of income for the Kashmiris is being destroyed by these terrorists.

It is therefore quite clear that the people of the valley are being harmed by these terrorists and not by the Indian state. The people of Kashmir are on a wrong track. Instead of eulogizing Burham Wani as a hero he should be condemned and his death should be a matter of celebration. The Kashmiris should quote his example to teach their sons that they should not travel his path towards destruction and instead lead a constructive life to bring prosperity and izzat to their families. Let it be made clear that the Indian state would severely deal with terrorists and shoot them dead in the future also.

Today the so called freedom movement is actually a Jihadi movement. Its main stress is on fighting a religious war. The killings of Pandits and there near extinction in Kashmir was a part of it. The attacks on Sufi saints and Dargahs is to eliminate the traditional Sufi Islam of Kashmir and replace it with Wahabism. What surprises is that separatist leaders like Syed Gilani and Mirwaiz Farooq have become key players of this Jihadi syndicate. Recently the Mirwaiz called for Ahmadi's to be declared non-muslims during the Friday khutba. Then is this a freedom movement or a conspiracy to establish a radical Islamic State ?

There is a interesting fact about these so called freedom fighters. There own sons are comfortably settled. Not even one of them has taken to the gun or participated in any protest. It is the sons of other Kashmiri families which they lure and push into violent activities. Salauddin Shah oldest son, Shakeel Yousuf, works as a medical assistant at Srinagar's Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, second son Javed Yousuf works in the Education Department as computer operator, while Shahid Yousuf is a Research Fellow at the Sher-i-Kashmir University of Agricultural Science and Technology. Shah's fourth son, Wahid Yusuf, studies in Sri Maharaja Hari Singh Government Medical College. Mueed Yusuf, the youngest of Shah's sons, is pursuing a higher education degree (M.Tech.). Syed Geelani both sons are safely settled, one in South Delhi and the other in Rawalpindi. Mirwaiz Farooq is married to a fashionable woman who does not even touch naqab.

The entire freedom movement of Kashmir is a big money spinning racket with crores of rupees flowing into the pockets of these so called leaders from Pakistan. Kashmir is part of India both legally and morally and nothing can reverse its final accession to India in 1947. POK on the other hand has been illegally occupied by Pakistan by sending a Jihadi force in 1948. The facts are there to be seen and is part of Kashmir history. Even the referendum has become redundant since the UN resolution clearly states that the entire POK illegally occupied should be first returned to India. This is not possible since Pakistan has already ceded a part of it to China(Gilgit-Baltistan).

So what is the struggle about ? History cannot be reversed and borders cannot be altered. It is only a fantasy which is being played upon the minds of the gullible ordinary Kashmiris.

Not withstanding the above it is the responsibility of the Central Government to reduce tensions in Kashmir and to ensure that the separatists do not succeed in inflaming passion in the valley. Unfortunately the Modi Government is adding fuel to the fire. Across the country a anti Muslim enviourment is being generated by the Sangh Parivar. Issues like cow protection,love jihad,Ram Mandir and various other venomous statements are being issued even by Ministers in the Government. I was shocked to hear Yogi Adityanath( A BJP MP) saying that even dead Muslim women should be raped. The PM of this country has maintained a complete silence and not even once condemned these gruesome statements. This has greatly disturbed the Muslim population of Kashmir which has felt terribly alienated leading to these furious protests. It is time that Modi who is a hardened RSS pracharak realises that he is now head of a family of 1.25 crores people of different faiths. Unless he makes a immediate attempt to come out of his outdated RSS ideology the situation would not only deteriorate but may even spread to other parts of the country.

In the end I would like to congratulate our security forces who are bravely facing these terrorists and confronting these violent protesters who are chasing a mirage. Let it be clear that likes of Wani have to be killed for the safety of Kashmiri people. They are monsters who snatch away innocent lives.

The Kashmiris should be vocal in their denunciation of these bigoted terrorists who want to take away their beautiful valley and convert it into a horrible bigoted Islamic state.

TARUSHI AND ISLAMIC KILLERS

 

 

 

 

                                          04.07.16

As I write these lines a plane carrying the dead body of Tarishi is heading for New Delhi from Dhaka. She was a Indian and belonged to Ferozabad. The young and vibrant girl merely 19 years old was killed brutally by Muslim terrorists in Bangladesh. She was studying at the University of California at Berkley and had come to visit her father during summer vacation. Little did she know that her young life would come to an end and all the dreams she had nurtured for the future would never bear fruits.

The Holey Artisan Bakery is a posh restaurant in a posh area of Dhaka visited by the elite for its western delicacies and quaint environment. Dhaka has very few top class restaurants and Holey Artisan Bakery was much sought after by foreigners and the elite of Dhaka. On this particular day three youngsters Tarishi Jain, Faraaz Ayaz Hossain and Abinta Kabir were happily chatting over a cup of tea when suddenly they heard voices shouting 'Allah-O-Akbar' and six terrorists heavily armed entered the cafe. They segregated people sitting there into Muslims and Non-Muslims by telling them to recite verses from the Koran. Somehow the three friends managed to lock themselves in a toilet. They were shivering with fear and dreaded the moment when they would be discovered by the terrorists.

As evening ended the terrorists asked the kitchen staff to prepare food for Iftar which is breaking fast during Ramzan and serve it only to the Muslims.

Night had descended and the news that terrorists have taken hostages spread like wild fire. Bangladesh security forces surrounded the cafe and preparation for the assault began. The special unit was stationed 120 km away at Sylhet and it would take them 2 hours to reach there.

In the dim lights outside Sanjeev Jain father of Tarishi was restlessly pacing the lawns outside the cafe. Time was passing away and there was absolutely no news about what was happening inside. He did not dare to ring his daughter inside because the ringing may betray the place where they were hiding. It was 1.30 AM and there was a ominous silence all around. Suddenly his mobile rang . With a shaking hand he answered it. It was Tarishi. She was weeping and spoke in a shaky voice

"Terrorists have entered the restaurant . I am very afraid and not sure whether I will be able to come out alive. They are killing everyone here." The phone went silent.

Shortly afterwards she was hacked to death together with her two friends.

The incident has shocked the whole world and the following points are necessary for readers to ponder over

1. Allah-O-Akbar means God is great. It is a slogan we often hear before Muslims butcher innocent people. What kind of God the Koran professes which allows such brutal killings of humans in His name ? This is a God or a devil which becomes great when innocent people are slaughtered. I know many Muslims would condemn such acts and would loudly proclaim that Islam does not allow such heinous crimes. That one cannot paint the entire community evil because of such acts of the few. This has been going on for a long time. One section of Muslims kill and the other section prettily sitting in their houses state Islam does not allow this. Somehow this does not click anymore and more and more non-Muslims are becoming convinced that Islam surely has to do something with this. These Muslim terrorists are not born this way. They are meticulously trained in Madrassas and in special camps. They are taught from the Koran and therefore we cannot ignore that Koran does not contain passages which exhorts its followers to resort to violent behavior. Passages that demean non-Muslims already exist in the Koran. The teacher has just to add a bit more spice and it becomes explosive which is eagerly imbibed by young Muslims. Ideas like supremacy of Islam is easily planted in their minds. Now they can kill without any guilt.

The concept of heaven exist in other religions also but it is more or less taken as a concept rather than a concrete place up in the skies. In Islam it is rather foolishly considered as a real place with pretty women giving massage to the faithful after they butcher people and reach paradise. The teachers at the Madrassas and terrorist training camps drill this effectively into the minds of its students. This prepares them to commit suicide easily because they will enter paradise after death.

Islam is creating havoc and chaos in the world. It is therefore time that those who are incharge of Islam seriously think about revising the Koran and weed out all those obnoxious references which kills humanity. Mullahs and Madrassas which preach hatred in the name of Islam should be severely dealt with and known groups of terrorists ruthlessly eliminated.

2. The Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina is sincerely doing her utmost to eliminate Muslim extremism from her country. Under her leadership hundreds of JI leaders and murderers have been hanged. She has a no tolerance policy towards terrorism. After the above terrorist attack she gave the following statement

"While Muslims across the world are observing Ramzan, these militants were killing innocent people. What kind of Muslims are these, who are killing other humans during Ramzan"

A strong statement which shows how certain Muslims have become so devilish that they don't even respect their own religion and commit carnage even during the holy month of Ramzan.

In recent times Hindus,atheists,bloggers are being systemically butchered in the streets of Bangladesh. There seems to be a powerful unseen force which is directing these killings. Who is doing this and for what purpose ?

Bangladesh leaders have pointed their fingers towards the ISI of Pakistan which in collusion with the Jammait-i-Islami is planning all these attacks. They say that Pakistan has not been able to digest the freedom of Bangladesh till now. The Pakistan army together with JI butchered thousands during 1971. This same JI together with its affiliates is continuing its efforts to make Bangladesh reverse its freedom. Arms and support to them is provided to them by Pakistan.

We in India are also victims of Pakistan terrorism. Infact Pakistan is now well know as the breeding ground of terrorists. Recently Imran Khan party PTI has donated Rs 300 million to a madrassa which trains terrorists. Can you imagine this ? This is the same Madrassa which trained Mullah Mansoor head of the Afghan Taliban and was killed in a drone attack. Thousands of  Madrassas are strewn over Pakistan churning out terrorists at a rapid pace. All of them supported by the state and trained by the ISI.

It is time that India and Bangladesh come together and devise a strategy to combat terrorism inside Pakistan. They should hit at the core instead of fighting it erratically .

Terrorism will continue to kill our children unless Pakistan is disintegrated. The US should come to its senses and realise that this snake is ready to bite its hand as well.

Tarishi is no more. Her life has been sacrificed at the altar of terrorism. Let each one of us light one candle in her memory in our house and vow never to bow before Islamic terrorism.

Goodbye Sweetheart. May your soul rest in peace.
