Thoughts of a nationalist Indian

Why this blog?

(A picture of Angkor Wat - the great Hindu temple complex in Cambodia. There were many such great temple complexes in North India - all were destroyed by Islam, and this fact gleefully recorded by Islamic historians. Hindu temples have been a target for Islam since 712AD, and continue to be so with Jihadi attacks on temple complexes such as Akshardham in 2005. The first destructions of temples by Islam began with Muhammad when he destroyed the idols of over 300 Meccan deities in the Kaaba, and claimed the site for Islam alone. Around the same time, he "revealed" Sura 9:5 of the Kuran:
"slay the idolators where ever ye find them..")

We live in troubled times. Globally, a violent ideology of Jihad, firmly rooted in the central tenets of Islamic theology, and carried out throughout Islam's history, is inflicting violence upon non-muslims. Whether such attacks happen in New York, Beslan, London, Mumbai or elsewhere, the underlying ideology is the same. It is called "Jihad fi sabilallah" - Total War on infidels, in the name of Allah.

Some nations have recognized where this ideology comes from, and they call a spade a spade. Other countries, such as India, refuse to recognize this threat, mostly for reasons of political gains by certain political parties. They deliberately obfuscate the plain facts by making ridiculous statements like "terrorists have no religion" etc. Unfortunately, they do. That religion is Islam, and in particular a radical, orthodox version of it.

There are truly decent and peace loving muslims, many of whom I am privileged to know. This blog has nothing but love and sympathy for them. But orthodox Islam as an ideology is not peace loving and does not permit peaceful co-existence with other religions. Orthodox Islam seeks to extinguish all other religious beliefs and replace them with Islam. And as long as even a small minority of muslims take their religion's core ideology seriously, there will be jihad upon non-muslims, because Jihad upon non-muslims is a pillar of Islam, and what allowed Islam to spread so rapidly in the first place. This is a problem not only for non-muslims, but also for muslims who are continually ashamed by the violent actions of their co-religionists.

The purpose of this blog is to do some straight talking. The people who attack us have been taught to hate us for no reason other than that we are Hindus. In their thinking, based upon the Kuran and Hadith, Hindus are the worst type of unbelievers (infidels), offenders against Allah, whom Allah himself hates so much that he will use them as fuel for the fires of Hell. These Hindus are hated idolators and polytheists about whom the Kuran and Hadith are very clear: their men must be murdered, their women and children enslaved, and their temples destroyed.

This is not just my opinion, but that of all the 4 schools of sunni Islam - the Shafi, Hanafi, Hanbali, and Maliki. 3 of these 4 schools say that the choice to be put before Hindus is simply "convert to Islam or die." Only one - Hanafi - allows Hindus the right to live, but as third class citizens. I say "third class" with good reason - the second class citizens would be the 2 "people of the book" - Christians and Jews. But at least we would be allowed to live, for the time being. The idea is to make life so difficult that with time no hindu would chose to remain Hindu, and all would convert. And this is the most liberal of the 4 schools of sunni Islam! Let me repeat that the other 3 schools emphatically state that Hindus have no right to live.

These are plain facts. Obfuscating them, or wishing them away, won't solve the problem. We Hindus must be aware of these facts. Truth must always be told, not hidden.

We stress that we have nothing against muslims. We only wish to understand the current Jihad upon Hindus in particular, and all non-muslims in general, in light of (a) the theology of Islam and (b) the history of Islam in the Indian subcontinent, which closely follows the theology of Islam. Through the centuries of Islamic rule, millions of Hindus were murdered, millions of Hindu women were enslaved, and all this is in accordance with the Kuran and Hadith. Once again, this is not my opinion, but that of all 4 schools of Islamic jurisprudence. Even today, Pakistan's Islamic party - the Jamaat-i-Islami says that if India is conquered, all Hindus will be enslaved, and all Pakistanis will get Hindu slaves. This same party provided the religious justification of the genocide of 2 million Hindus in the 1971 war of Bangladeshi liberation based on orthodox Islamic teachings. It is the largest Islamist party of the subcontinent, and when it holds views that justify large scale genocide and enslavement of Hindus, and are fully rooted in Islamic theology, then we Hindus have reason to be very worried.

The other reason that I decided to write this blog is that even 1300 years after the first encounter of Hindus with Jihad, and losing 50-80 million Hindus to this murderous ideology, by and large Hindus have not equated the actions of Islam with Islamic ideology. Instead, we still "examine the effects" rather than the causes. Hindus still wonder why muslims in large groups tend to be so intolerant, violent, and predatory towards other faiths. Well, my dear Hindus, it is because those are the central teachings of Islam! As per Islam, Jihad is "Fard Kifayya", which means a communal obligation. Every society of muslims is obliged to wage continuous war (Jihad) upon its neighbouring Kafir lands in order to "subdue them" and bring them under the fold of Islam. When viewed this way, Pakistan's obsessive hatred and violence upon India is not unnatural, it is purely religious.

So then what is the way out? Firstly, Hindus must be at least somewhat aware of what Islamic scriptures say about them and other Kafirs. Let us begin there. Let us understand Islamist ideology, especially when they themselves tell us in no uncertain terms why they hate us. Let us not be fooled into thinking this is about Kashmir or about anything other than our Hindu Dharma. As long as we are Hindus, Islam will wage Jihad upon us using every means at its disposal. Kashmir is the current excuse. Tomorrow, it will be Junagad and Hyderabad (the Islamists have already told us this). The day after, all of Bharat. Islamist violence upon Hindus and India will not cease till we have all been converted to Islam. That's just what is written in the Kuran and Hadith - I didn't make that up. Read these documents.

Here is a very sad fact - Islam does not accord Hindus and Hindu Dharma the right to exist. Please read that again - Islam does not give us the right to live as Hindus. The next time you speak to a "moderate muslim", ask him this question - "Does your religion allow me - an idol worshipping Hindu - the right to live?" If he says "Yes", point out to him that 3 of the 4 schools of Sunni Islam disagree. They say categorically that Hindus must be put to death if they refuse to convert to Islam since Allah wants to extinguish all idol worship from this earth, and muslims have the express orders from him to carry out this death sentence.

This ideology of extermination of idolators and their religions is at the very core of Islam. Islam defines itself in these terms. We Hindus ignore this at our own peril. The purpose of this blog is simply to educate Hindus about the plain facts, not to create hatred.

I end with the words of Alain Danielou, from his Histoire de la Inde :

"From the time Muslims started arriving, around 632 AD, the history of India becomes a long, monotonous series of murders, massacres, spoilations, destructions. It is, as usual, in the name of 'a holy war' of their faith, of their sole God, that the barbarians have destroyed civilisations, wiped out entire races."

Yes, Islam IS different!

I am tired of people who know nothing about any religion state, almost as a self-evident axiom, that "All religions are the same." No they're not!

Islam is VERY different from Hindu Dharma. Let's talk statistics for a while, shall we? Can you guys guess what percentage of the verses in the Kuran speak of Kafirs? 63%! In other words, more than half the Kuran is simply hate speech about Kafirs. More than half! There is not one good thing Muhammad had to say about Kafirs. The Sira (his biography and collection of quotes and anecdotes) is more than 85% about his battles with Kafirs.

Islam IS about Kafirs. Get that right - Islam as a religion is about one topic alone - Kafirs. And we are all Kafirs. Yes, that's right. We are what Islam is about. The only problem is that Islam does not say "Love these guys." It says "hate them, kill them, behead them, humiliate them, "subdue" them, make them pay taxes, convert them..." Islam is all about "them" - the "them" being us Kafirs.

Islam is not a religion that focuses on itself and its people. It focuses on Kafirs. Isn't that strange - that a religion should focus not on itself but on those who are not in it? Islam is all about "the evil others - the Kafirs." The Kafirs who allowed Muhammad to do his thing when they could have killed him. But they showed great tolerance and let him mock and abuse them. But when he became powerful, he simply killed them or forcibly converted them to Islam.

Read the Upanishads (which form the spiritual core of Hindu Dharma). They don't even talk about "us" or "them." They simply discuss how the Atman (roughly translated to 'soul') is related to the unity underlying all creation (called the 'brahman'). There is absolutely no sectarian language there. No wonder Hindus, to this day, are unable to fully fathom this hateful ideology called Islam.

The Kuran is a manual of hatred and violence which seeks to divide humanity into "muslims" and "kafirs" and recommends permanent warfare between them. No wonder muslims are unable to live peacefully with any other community, anywhere. Because their religion only speaks of cultivating hatred towards others.

The world must no longer keep silent about this ideology. We must call it for what it is. Enough of the political correctness. Enough of the deafening silence. Islam declared war on us 1400 years ago. It is time we at least asked "Why?" Why are you killing us? What have we done? Just because an arab man 1400 years ago said you must kill us? Is that reason enough to abandon all humanity, all rationality? Continue Reading...

Boys also victims of acid attacks in Islam

It seems it is not only women who are victims of acid attacks in Islam. Boys who refuse the sexual advances of Islamic clerics in mosques may also be attacked similarly. I came across this story from 2004, in the UK Telegraph.

Headline: Acid attack on boy who 'refused sex with Muslim cleric'

Mosques are the delivery points of hatred in Islam. The Friday weekly dose of hatred for Kafirs comes from mosques. Hindus living near mosques in India will testify that they cower in fear when the crowd comes out of the mosque after receiving their Friday hate sermon.

Please google "undercover mosque" for a video of what is taught in the largest mosque in the UK (and elsewhere). I also have a post on that program.

The more I think about it, the more I wonder why the heck are we all so silent about Islam? Why aren't more people speaking up? I want all my readers to think about this. What is the right thing to do today? To keep silent about all this? About the Taliban and Saudi Arabia? About Pakistan's terror factories and acid attacks? About Somalia's Shabab terrorists? About Sudan's Islamic militias and their mass rapes?

Or to speak up? PLEASE SPEAK UP! Continue Reading...

Islamic turbulence hits Britain

This post is aimed mostly at my Indian readers who may not be aware of the latest goings on in Britain where the increasingly aggressive Islamist community is acting with scant regard for the sentiments of the local populace. This community is almost entirely comprised of Pakistani Muslims. As per orthodox Islamic teachings, these people have no sense of love or belonging towards the land which nurtured them, and instead hate Britain as a "dar-ul-Harb" (land of war, which must be conquered for Islam by Jihad). I ask my readers to click on all the hyperlinks, since they will cover a fair bit of reporting on this growing menace.



A couple of days ago, a returning regiment of British troops from Iraq was greeted with abuse at their homecoming parade. The person leading this abuse was Pakistani cleric Anjem Chaudhury, who, after having bedded innumerable British lasses, is now a full fledged Islamic fundamentalist who wants to put his former sexual conquests under Burkhas (I guess he has had his full). This happens to all Pakistani playboys - they suddenly become all holy once they have had enough "uncovered meat" as Islamic clerics describe western women. Another notable Islamic hypocrite was Imran Khan, who, after having lived the life of a playboy in the West for years, suddenly started talking of how the Islamic way of life was superior to the "decadent West."

Anyway, Anjem "Andy" Chaudhary says (entirely in accordance with Islam again), that killing Kafirs, even civilians, is Halal (Islamic). He says, again in accordance with the Kuran and Hadith, that there is no such thing as an "innocent Kafir" because all Kafirs have committed the gravest sin by rejecting Islam, and are therefore anything but innocent. The only innocent people are Muslims. Here is an interview:


There are a few British blogs dedicated to the resistance to the increasing Islamic aggression in Britain. I quote from one of them:

I have lived in and around Luton my whole life so know exactly how bad the situation is on the ground with the Muslim community. The majority of the Muslims in Luton are second and third generation British born Pakistani's, exactly the same as three of the 7/7 suicidal maniacs. The Pakistani Muslims control the supply of hard drugs - heroin & crack cocaine. This is a highly lucrative business for them and also fits Al Qaeda's agenda of destroying Britain. Al Qaeda have outlined for the Muslims in Britain to use street drugs against us under the title 'chemical warfare'.

In Luton the Pakistani Muslims are working to Al Qaeda's strategy and it is destroying lives, destroying the community and making them vast amounts of money in the process. They have controlled the supply of Heroin for many years and in the process have created an army of Pakistani Muslim youths connected to the trade who are highly organised, heavily armed and extremely wealthy. The non-Muslim community lives with the knowledge of this army of Muslim criminal/terrorists surrounding them and leaves them living under their dominance through fear and intimidation. The non-Muslim community can say nothing and do nothing against the Pakistani Muslim community because of fear of the consequences. If you have trouble with one, then you potentially have trouble with a very large number. The different age groups are built up into different gangs who are all connected and who control the drugs trade, along with all other associated high profit crime, like prostitution and fraud. The criminal element of the Pakistani Muslim community conduct themselves as a paramilitary organisation which leaves the rest of the community having to live as 'Dhimmis' through fear.

I think any Hindu living in an area where Islam is in a majority or significant minority will echo similar sentiments. I lived in one such locality for years. Every time India lost to Pakistan in a cricket game, I would hear crackers and cheering. Go to old Delhi and verify this for yourself. Or go to the old city of Hyderabad. See for yourself. Again, this is exactly as per Islamic teachings - Islam clearly says that a brother who may not be a Muslim is your enemy, but every Muslim is your brother. Islam respects no bond other than that of the Muslim Ummah. When a Hindu points this out, he is quickly branded "communal", but this is actually taught in the curriculum at Dar-ul-Uloom at Deoband. No one dares question this sedition. Incidentally, the Taliban follow Deobandi Islam.

Back to the situation in Britain. For years, the Hindu community there has felt insecure due to the aggression of muslims. Read this article for a report on some earlier tensions. Read this article for aggressive conversions forced upon Hindu and Sikh girls in Britain.

Look, let me be very clear. Islam's core teachings simply do NOT allow its orthodox adherents to live peacefully with Kafirs. Hatred for Kafirs, and planned violence against them is core to Islam, and the life and teachings of Muhammad. It is Muhammad's core message. So I am never surprised when these events start unfolding whenever Islam reaches a certain critical mass. It has done that in England. The Tube attacks on 7/7 were just the beginning - and I am not saying this, all the Islamists of Britain are. Don't believe me, but do believe them.

To my British readers - we Hindus face the same problems. Let us join hands, let us build bridges, let us fight this menace together. When the Jihadis attacked Mumbai, they killed many Indians, but also wanted British and American hostages. And they wanted Israelis dead. We are in this war together - we didn't chose to be, Islam chose it for us. Because we are fellow Kafirs whom Islam has slated for extermination.

Islam in action - Acid attacks on women

We hear this often - acid attacks on women in Islamic societies. It happens in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Kashmir, Sudan etc. - the only thing common to these places is they are Islamic societies in the grip of fundamentalist Islamists (i.e., practising Muslims). The problem is this - Islam simply does not regard women are fully human. They are property, and a man can do anything to property. This is reflected by the terrible state of women throughout Islam. I have always stated clearly that women are the primary reason why it is unethical to keep quiet about Islam. Islam dehumanizes women. And the world keeps silent. I won't.


If you want to see what pure unadulterated Islam does to women, look at the Taliban. That is pure Islam. 7th century Islam, the way Muhammad intended it to be. Look at the bastion of pure Islam - Saudi Arabia. There, a woman may not leave her home alone, may not drive, may not be in the company of a man who is not her "possessor" (i.e., father, brother, or husband). This should not surprise you, because after all, as per Islam, woman is property, with little to no independence and rights.

While the Islamic apologists say that the condition of women in pre-Islamic arabia (before Muhammad) was bad, there seems to be no historical evidence to support this. All traces of pre-Islamic arab culture was destroyed by Islam, so how do we know? Had Islam destroyed Hindu civilization as they had intended, do you think they would not say similar things about Hindus? Of course they would. The dead have no way to state their defence, and pre-Islamic arab culture is totally dead, with nary a trace left.

So let us look at what little evidence we do have of the position of women. The biggest piece of evidence is that Muhammad's first wife - Khadijah - was a wealthy businessWOMAN, and ran her own trading business. Muhammad was her employee for a few years, before SHE PROPOSED TO HIM. She was also much older. Now these 3 (businesswoman, herself proposed to a man, man was younger) suggest that women were perhaps pretty respected in pre-Islamic society. Another piece of evidence is that one of the poets Muhammad ordered assassinated - Asma - was a woman. She was writing poetry critical of Muhammad, and he had her killed. Again a woman in an influential position that is rare in Islamic societies.


I for one do not believe the Islamic position that pre-Islamic women were in a bad way and Muhammad "reformed" arabia. All the evidence in the Hadith is that Muhammad's band of warriors only destroyed the "Dharma" (way of life) of the arabs. Remember the Hadith where muslim soldiers are reluctant to rape captured Kafir arab women in the presence of their husbands? That shows at least some morality. And what did Muhammad do? He immediately "revealed" a verse from Allah saying it was OK to rape these women! Is this the work of a reformer, or a person who destroys morality and culture? You be the judge.

Don't associate terror with Islam - Voice of America

I read the Daily Pioneer when I want the
nationalist perspective on things. It is the only English language newspaper in India of high integrity which has not sold out to anti-national vested interests. Today, Editor Chandan Mitra had an article on the Voice of America curbing its press freedoms.

Excerpts:


Here is a memo sent out to staffers by Jennifer Janin, the head of Voice of America’s Urdu service, informing them that the “editors & I have come up with the following guidelines on usage of words & phrases related to terrorism & violence”:

“Islamic terrorists: DO NOT USE. Instead use simply: terrorist... Sometimes even the names of the accused themselves point to the identity, and there is no need to specify.”

So, VOA will not, for instance, mention the name of Ajmal Ameer Kasab while reporting on the Mumbai terror attack.

“Terrorism/ terrorist: AVOID OVERUSE. Listeners get tired... Militant, militancy, violent etc can be used descriptively as appropriate.”

In conformity with this guideline, a VOA report would say, ‘Violence in Mumbai on November 26, 2008, left 173 people dead and 308 wounded.’

“Islamic Fundamentalism/ Muslim Fundamentalists: AVOID... The use of such expressions, more exclusively in case of Muslims, adds to existing misgivings in the Islamic world of an anti-Muslim sentiment ... better to use ‘conservative’... ”. VOA report from Swat: ‘Conservative’ Muslims have decreed that girls can’t attend school and victims of rape will be stoned to death.

“Islamist: NOT NECESSARY... Muslims perceive that it has been ‘intentionally’ rhymed with ‘Fascist’, ‘Communist’ or ‘Anarchist’... We just don’t need this short cut in our reporting.”

Now tell me - isn't the job of the press actually TO uncover such causes of various global events? Or is it to hide them? Isn't the press obliged to the public to tell them things as they are? Or is it to deliberately keep the public in the dark?

These terrorists ARE muslims. They ARE motivated by Islam's ideology of Jihad - they say so themselves! It is the job of the press to tell us everything it knows about terror and its ideological roots, especially when the terrorists are telling us loud and clear "We are waging JIHAD on you kafirs."

This is like the Indian government's infamous circular asking the national textbooks board (NCERT) not to mention anything about atrocities on Hindus during the period of Islamic rule. Not to mention that thousands of Hindu temples were demolished and replaced by mosques. Not to mention any of the massacres. That is as ridiculous as asking the state of Israel to never tell young Jews that the holocaust happened. It is only in India that we do this negation of Hindu suffering. No one else, had they suffered like we did, would have kept so silent. Are we created by God merely to be butchered by these Islamic Jihadis? If not, then let us stop behaving like we are.

I will reproduce the Indian government memo to the textbooks board on this blog soon.

Islam's creed - "Convert or die!"

(Islam's blood soaked history. Picture courtesy Aryamehr.)
One of the canons of Islam is the first collection of quotes and anecdotes of Muhammad - the Sira - written by Ibn Ishaq and edited by Ibn Hisham, both pious Muslims. Along with the Hadith, it forms the source of much of what we know about Muhammad. Here is the first incident of forcible conversion to Islam that I have seen recorded in Islamic history. It happens immediately before Muhammad conquered Mecca. Muhammad's adherents arrest Abu Sufyan, one of Mecca's inhabitants who had rejected Muhammad's claims of being a Prophet. They bring him to Muhammad. Ibn Hisham tells us what happens next, in "The Biography of Muhammad"(Part 4, Page 11)

Muhammad told him: "Woe to you, O Abu Sufyan. Is it not time for you to realize that there is no God but the only God?" Abu Sufyan answered: "I do believe that." Muhammad then said to him: "Woe to you, O Abu Sufyan. Is it not time for you to know that I am the apostle of God?" Abu Sufyan answered: "By God, O Muhammad, of this there is doubt in my soul." The 'Abbas who was present with Muhammad told Abu Sufyan: "Woe to you! Accept Islam and testify that Muhammad is the apostle of God before your neck is cut off by the sword." Thus he professed the faith of Islam and became a Muslim."

Notice that Abu Sufyan - a man who had known Muhammad for years in Mecca - did not believe that Muhammad was a prophet. He thought, like most Meccans, that Muhammad was a deluded person, or a charlatan. I would like readers to note two important points:

1. Because Islam treats Muhammad as the "perfect man" and makes it normative for every muslim to emulate and copy Muhammad in every regard, this means that now forcible conversion by placing a sword at the neck becomes part of Islamic law! This is now cast in stone, and becomes an act of great piety for every muslim, because he is, after all, following his beloved Prophet!

2. Muhammad - a man whom every Meccan knew since childhood, in 10 years of preaching in Mecca, could get only about 100 followers. After 10 years of trying and failing to convince people of his claims to Prophethood, he left for Medina, and returned later to Mecca with the sword in hand. Once he offered the "convert or die" choice to the pagans of Mecca, his ranks quickly swelled to almost 35,000 followers by the time he died a few years later. This is the way Islam spread. Not by peace, but ENTIRELY by the sword. The numbers tell the whole story. His first 10 years of peaceful preaching got Muhammad 100 followers. His last 2 years of using the sword brought him 35,000. Islam had discovered the magic formula for fast expansion - put the sword on the neck and say "Convert or die!"

Anyway, let us continue reading the biography of Muhammad. I now quote from Part 4, Page 134:

Muhammad sent Khalid Ibn al-Walid to the tribe of the children of Haritha and told him: "Call them to accept Islam before you fight with them. If they respond, accept that from them, but if they refuse, fight them." Khalid told them: "Accept Islam and spare your life." They entered Islam by force. He brought them to Muhammad. Muhammad said to them: "Had you not accepted Islam I would have cast your heads under your feet"

Another instance of forcing Islam at the pain of death. What kind of religion is this? And men such as Khalid bin Walid are heroes of Islam!

Let us continue reading the biography of Muhammad. Here is an incident from page 113, depicting Ali, the son-in-law of Muhammad:

Ali Ibn Abi Talib encountered a man called 'Umru and told him, "I indeed invite you to Islam." 'Umru said, "I do not need that (Islam)." Ali said, "Then I call you to fight." 'Umru answered him, "What for my nephew? By God, I do not like to kill you." Ali said, "But, by God, I love to kill you"'

I find the above a very telling incident. It shows just how naive to Muhammad's new way of thinking the pagan Arabs of that time were. Umru is still treating Ali with love, addressing him as "my nephew", and stating that he would not like to fight Ali. But Ali's reply is very Islamic - "By Allah, I would love to kill you." Ali's thinking is now simply this - those who don't convert to Islam must be killed. That has been the pattern repeated throughout history.



Finally, I come to one of the greatest Islamic scholars and Imams of them all - Isma'il Ibn Kathir, whose tafsir (commentary) on the Kuran is one of the most famous and frequently used. Ibn Kathir narrates this incident from the traditions of Muhammad in his book, Bidaayah wan Nihaayah, in the section on "The Prophetic Biography" (part 3, p. 596).

Muhammad's followers met a man and asked him to become a Muslim. The man asked them, "What is Islam?" to which Muhammad's followers explained Islam to him. He then asked, "What if I refuse to convert to Islam? What would you do to me?" They answered, "We would kill you." Despite that, he refused to become a Muslim and they killed the poor man after he went and bade his wife farewell. She continued to weep over his corpse for days until she died of grief over her slain beloved who was killed for no reason other than that he refused to accept Islam.

Now, all of the above happened at the time of Muhammad, and mostly in his presence. Let us take a look at how Islamic armies treated others when they conquered all of arabia and spread outward. Here is the first account of the Islamic invasion of India in 712AD, written by the first muslim governor of Sindh, soon after the invasion. Note the similarity. Those that don't convert are killed.

"Mohd bin Qasim first attacked Debal. It was garrisoned by 4000 hindu kshatriyas
and supported by 3000 brahmans. All males of ages 17 and upwards were put to the
sword (killed) and their women and children enslaved. 700 beautiful females who
were seeking protection in the budh (probably meaning buddhist temple) were
captured with valuable ornaments. Mohd dispatched 1/5th of these to Hajjaj,
governor of Damascus as per Islamic law. This included 75 damsels. Other 4/5ths
were distributed among soldiers.

Thereafter whichever places were attacked like Rawar, Sehwan, Dhalila, Multan, etc. hindu soldiers and men were slain, the common people fled or had to accept Islam. Some died with their religion (ie refused to convert). Many women of the higher class immolated themselves (Jauhar) and most others became the prize of the conquerors. These women and children were enslaved and converted. Batches of them were sent to the Caliph in regular installments. After Rawar was taken, Qasim halted there for 3 days during which he killed 6000 men. Their followers and women were taken captive. Later when the slaves were counted, there were 60,000. Of these, 30 young ladies were of royal blood. Qasim sent them all to the Hajjaj, who forwaded them to Walid the Khalifa. A considerable number of hindus were enslaved and deported to Iraq. The entire garrison of Multan was put to sword, and families of the chiefs numbering 6000 were enslaved.

In Sindh, females captured after every campaign were converted and married to arab
soldiers. The instructions given by Hajjaj to Mohd Bin Qasim were "give no
quarter to the infidels, but to cut their throats, and take the women and
children as slaves."

So now I ask all of my readers - how did Islam spread so quickly, especially in the centuries right after Muhammad's death? By simply following Muhammad's example of placing the sword at the neck, and offering the choice Islam has always offered - "Convert, or die!."

I wish to end by appealing to Muslim readers - please read all the accounts of Muhammad's life for yourself. Don't believe me. Read and judge for yourself. Your own humanity will tell you that this man was a cruel, manipulative charlatan. Most Muslims have been forced into Islam at some point in their family history. Please reject this religion that has been forced upon you. In Kashmir - the Hindus were forced into Islam by the cruel despot Sikandar Butshikan. If you read of how he imposed Islam by the sword, it will make your humanity cry. If you are Kashmiri, how can you stay in that religion that was forced upon your ancestors. If you are a muslim in Sindh, maybe one of the men murdered by Mohammad Bin Qasim was your forefather. If you are an Arab muslim, maybe the men murdered by Muhammad were your direct ancestors. Please leave this religion that has spread through violence, lies, and hatred. This is a sincere appeal to all Muslim readers.

US privately backs "Shari'a law for peace" deal with Taliban

I thought this merited a separate post. I normally assume that people are up to date with the papers, but this news was not carried widely enough, and so am carrying a news article from the Telegraph (UK).

US privately backs Pakistan's 'Sharia law for peace' deal with Taliban

Excerpt:

On Tuesday night however, US officials in Islamabad privately backed the deal as an attempt to drive a wedge between Swat's Taliban, which is focused on its demand for Sharia law, and the al-Qaeda-linked Taliban led by Baitullah Mehsud, the notorious commander who controls much of North and South Waziristan and other tribal areas along the Afghan border.

While they expressed fears that the deal might yet be sabotaged by some Swat Taliban militants who support al-Qaeda, they said that if successful, the deal would break up the alliance between the two groups, which has caused alarm throughout Pakistan and in Washington.

This is idiocy. Does the US really think it can play such games in this region? Remember what happened the last time the US tried to do such things in Afghanistan by aiding Gulbuddin Hekmatyar (on Pak's advise)?

To all my Western readers: These things simply don't work. You have to be principled in how you deal with these groups, and treat them based on what they believe in. For one, both the groups you are trying to drive a wedge between treat women like animals. Secondly, do you really think that the Taliban (or any of its factions) will forget their hatred of the Kuffar and the American Satan and not see through this? You can bet your last dollar that once their position in Malakand has been consolidated, they will close ranks in order to complete the march to Islamabad. Not only that, the day will come when this will be touted as yet another example of America's intrigue in the region, and another reason to hate them.

Islamabad is what, 150Kms away now? Continue Reading...

Darkness falls on Swat

(The Taliban, representing an evil, primitive ideology that was shocking even in the 7th century.)

Today, hidden away amidst all the headlines on things which this blog considers far less important, was a news item:

"Islamic courts begin functioning today in Swat."

ISLAMABAD: Islamic courts today started functioning in Pakistan's insurgency-hit Swat valley under an agreement signed last month by religious
hardliners and provincial authorities, a senior official said.


Qazis or judges started presiding over the Shariah courts at four places in Swat valley to pacify armed Taliban fighters, who waged a violent campaign and battled security forces over the past 18 months to press for the enforcement of Islamic laws in the region.

"We have revived the Islamic courts and Qazis (judges) today," Commissioner Syed Muhammad Javed said.

Javed and Sufi Muhammad, whose Tehrik-e-Nifaz-e-Shariah Muhammadi group signed an agreement with the North West Frontier Province government to enforce Islamic laws, led a large procession to the four places and appointed the Qazis in the presence of hundreds of people.

The areas where the Qazis have started functioning, Matta, Khwazakhela, Kabal and Barikot, are considered strongholds of the Taliban.

Sufi struck the deal with the government last month. Under the agreement, the NWFP government agreed to scrap all "un-Islamic" laws.

From today, as per the agreement between the Taliban and the Pakistani government, with the approval of the Obama adminstration, Islamic courts will officially impose Shari'a law in Swat and the NWFP. As part of the agreement, the NWFP will scrap all "un-Islamic" laws and adhere to pure Islam. The Taliban's 18 month campaign to bring Islamic law to Swat and neighboring areas in Malakand has succeeded. Islam is now the law of that land.

What does this mean?

For starters, it means that women are now not fully human. They have almost no rights, no freedoms, and are to behave entirely like the property of men. They may not leave home without male companion (just like in Saudi Arabia - that other bastion of pure Islam). They must remain covered in a shuttle-cock burkha (one where even the eyes are covered with a screen) at all times. They are not allowed to seek employment (which won't be much of a problem since even basic education is being denied to them) or even treatment for diseases. Here is the catch-22: Women are not allowed to be treated by male doctors, and women are not allowed to get an education, which means there are no women doctors.

Now this kind of darkess, this kind of pure evil, has happened with the sanction of two governments - Pakistan's, and America's. Pakistan is, all said and done, an Islamic nation. This IS their "civilization." And the Taliban will remain Pakistan's most influential "invention." An invention that was intended to subjugate Afghanistan, and fuel the Jihad against India in Kashmir. So when the Pakistanis sign such treaties, it is only to be expected. But what can one say about the US government which (as per media reports) acquiesced in this treaty. This treaty with pure evil. What excuse does the US have? True, the Taliban is also an American step-child that came out of the US support for Jihadis during the Russian presence in Afghanistan, and the civil war soon after. But on 9/11, the US ought to have learned its lesson. The Taliban hosted the Al-Qaeda, and the two jointly attacked the US. And yet today, the US is a tacit third party in treaties being signed to appease the Taliban.

And what excuse does our government have for keeping silent on all this. Shari'a law is now a mere 5 hours away from our borders. Does this not concern anyone? Will the Taliban remain happy with just Swat? Not a chance. Swat is just another milestone. They want Islamabad, and they want its army and its nukes. They say so themselves, and they tell us they have planned this for years. Yet we refuse to listen.

And when will the world stop the Taliban? After they have the Pakistani nukes, and have used a few on India, killing the dirty kafir Hindus?
