Indian Experience with Jihadists

• 
  
  Can radical Islam escape the opprobrium that it is using violence, threat, murder and terrorism to establish Sharia all over the word? 

• 
  
   Is the existential threat to humanity from political Islam real? 

• 
  
  Will the rising Muslim population in India, EU and USA ultimately transmogrify decent and civilized people into suicide bombers ready to kill all of us?

• 
  
   Is the doctrine of Jihad for the purification of inner self, as being expounded selectively by apologists of Islam? 

• 
  
  Is the Jihad a doctrine of permanent military warfare to annihilate infidels and to subjugate them?

• 
  
   Is there any way out to mitigate the effects of this hateful ideology that instigates its followers to kill in the name of Allah?  

• 
  
  Should the civilized nations insist on doctrine of reciprocity while dealing with Islamic  nations? 

• 
  
   Is the concept of Dar-ul-Islam (Islamic country) and Dar-ul-Harb (Enemy country)  the root cause of Islamic terrorism? 

• 
  
   Is the Far Left media hand in gloves with Jihadists?  Is Pakistan more dangerous than Iran? 

• 
  
  Can the sanctimonious rhetoric by Pakistan that she is an ally on terror be taken on its face value? 

• 
  
  Will the pervasive prevarication of the political class and its willful malfeasance embolden the political Islam and ultimately ruin all of us?

All the above topics were discussed at length at the Seminar organized by Intelligence Summit at St. Petersberg, Florida from March 5-7, 2007.Indian American Intellectuals Forum was invited by Intelligence Summit to enlighten the counter-terrorism experts on Indian Experience with Jihadists.

Dr. Babu Suseelan, Board Member of Indian American Intellectual Forum and a well-known Hindu scholar presented Hindu view point covering Indiaâ’s past and present History.

Addressing the gathering, Dr. Suseelan said:  In the first, instance, it gives me pleasure to thank all of you for giving me an opportunity to present before this august body my views regarding Indian Experience with Jihadists.

I am a firm believer in Hinduism, the ancient civilization of India, having more than one billion adherents. We Hindu people believe in peaceful coexistence with all the cultures and religions.  Hindu people in the known history never went out of their country to attack, loot, rape and forcibly convert other nations to their philosophy.  We have maintained this tradition for almost 6000 years.   India like USA, has given shelter to its tired, sick and persecuted people from other countries.  India has given them freedom of religion, freedom of speech, equality and justice to all.  I think, India is the only country in the world where Jewish people were never persecuted.  As recently as in 1950, India gave shelter to Dalai Lama and his followers who were driven from Tibet by Communist China.

Describing the brutalities perpetrated on hapless Hindus during Islamic rule, Dr. Suseelan said:  The barbarity, the butchering, the savagery were so extreme in nature, so enormous in scope, so stark in reality, so brutal in action that they demand eternal condemnation of the civilized world. The vandalization of India continued for 600 years.  There is a stamp of hatred and Islamic vengeance in each and every city all over India.

Tracing India‘s History, Dr. Suseelan said:  Before the advent of Islam, Afghanistan was nation of Hindus and Buddhists.  People of Afghanistan fought bravely against Islamic invaders for 300 years and finally they were overpowerd and Islamized.  After converting to Islam, the non-violent Hindus Budhists were forced to become Talibans and terrorists.  They destroyed Bamyan Budhas.  In 1990 Muslims drove out or converted 50,000 Hindu-Sikh people from Afghanistan to Islam.

Quoting Mr. M.A. Khan of Islamic Watch, Dr. Suseelan said:  Eleventh century saw the barbaric assault of Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni on India. Mahmud’s army slaughtered 15,000 fighting Hindus in brutal action before capturing 500,000 men and women as slaves. The extent of barbarity of Sultan Mahmud was vividly described by contemporary Muslim historians. In the attack on Thanesar, Ëœthe blood of the infidels flowed so copiously that the stream was discolored and the people were unable to drink. Mahmud attacked Somnath temple and massacred 50,000 Hindus guarding temple and destroyed it.

Sultan Allauddin Khaliji (1296-1316) attacked Chittor and massacred 30,000 people in cold blood.  No wonder that 50,000 slave boys were engaged in his personal services and 70,000 slaves worked continuously in his buildings.

Firoz Tughlaq, who ascended to the throne in 1351, killed 180,000 Hindus in Bengal and had erected a Tower of skulls

In 1946 Muslims slaughtered more than 5000 Hindus in Kolkata in one day and threatened Hindus that they would repeat this action in all major Indian cities if Hindus did not agree to the partition of India.  In order to buy peace, Hindus meekly gave in.  In 1947, India was divided into secular India and Muslim Pakistan.  Hindus, vainly and mistakenly, believed that their problem with Islam would be over.

In Pakistan, reign of repression was let loose against Hindus.  Millions of Hindu people were uprooted, butchered and slaughtered like chicken and goat.  Hundred of thousands of girls were kidnapped.  Their chastity violated; they were raped and forcibly married to Muslims. 

Muslims ethnically cleansed entire Hindu-Sikh population from Pakistan.  Muslims systematically used official machinery to reduce Hindu population which was more than 20% in 1947 to around one percent.

Bangladesh is the perfect example of minority cleansing.  The population of Hindu-Buddhists-Christians was about 39% in 1947.  During the 1971 War, Hindus were the prime target of genocide and gang rape by Islamic Pakistan army.  In the period of nine months, three million people were mercilessly murdered by Pakistan army, of which more than 80% were Hindus.  Covert and overt assault on Hindus continued recklessly.  Three hundred thousand girls were raped, out of which 95% were Hindu girls. Ten million Hindu refugees took shelter in India.

 Slaughter of Hindus continued and the world remained unperturbed.  In 1990, more than 400,000 Hindus were forcibly driven from Indian controlled Jammu and Kashmir by Jihadists, militarily trained and funded by Pakistan intelligence agency, ISI. 

There are some articles in Koran which enjoin on Muslims as under:  “O Prophet! Make war against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is the destination”. And in 8.12, the Koran says, “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them”.   Have these  Koranic injunctions on Muslims outlived their utility?.  Is it possible to suitably modify them to suit the needs of modern civilization, quipped Dr. Suseelan. 

Rising Muslim Population the Greatest Danger to South Asia

In South Asia the number of Muslims is as under:  India 150 million, Pakistan 145 million, Bangladesh 140 million and Afghanistan 16 million.  Thus the total population of Islamic people is about 450 million; one and half time the US population.  South Asia is sitting on a tinder box. Hindus alone will not be able to stem the wrath of ferocious brutes.  Hence cooperation between India, Israel and Western World is absolutely essential to save the world from impending doom and imminent disaster.

It is very difficult for a civilized person to understand the Muslim psyche.  Hindus foolishly thought that by acceding to the demand for Pakistan, they could buy peace.  They were hundred percent wrong.  Now Islamic Pakistan and Muslims wants separation of Kashmir from India. 

It is a matter of great regret that many Hindu scholars, particularly the Far Left  Liberals,  still fondly believe that coexistence with Islamic people is possible!

Why converts to Islam become terrorists?

Appealing to the top-notch experts on counter-terrorism listening to his speech, Dr. Suseelan asked them to ponder over the question as to why the converts to Islam become violent, fanatic and kill innocent people without any remorse.  Is there something in their religious scriptures which motivates them to kill  in the name of Allah?

Dhiren Barot, a Hindu convert to Islam, became Al Qaeda’s top operative.  His Islamic name is Abu Musa al-Hindi.  He travelled to Pakistan for terrorist training in 1995.  He has written a book “The Army of Medina in Kashmir“.   In this book, he has prescribed details as to how to kill Indian army in Kashmir.  He did a lot of research work in the field of radiological weapons which he wanted to use in terrorist attacks on New York Stock Exchange, International Monetary Fund Headquarters, World Bank, etc.

Adam Gadahn, an American, converted to Islam at the age of seventeen rose to the position of top operative of Al Qaeda operations.  In one of his speeches in 2005, he said:  “We love slitting the throats of Infidels”.     He invited Americans to convert to Islam before it is too late.  He praised the attackers of the World Trade Center as dedicated, strong-willed and motivated individuals.   His Islamic name is Azzam al-Amriki (Azzam the American).

Mohammad Ali Jinnah, Father of Pakistan, was grand child of a Hindu and very secular at heart.  When he came in contact with Imams, he became a dangerously fanatic Muslim and broke India into two pieces.

Sharia in Indian States

The situation is fraught with dangerous consequences.  There has been an astronomical rise in Islamic fundamentalism in <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: norm
