A Christian girl: Pakistan has been hell for my family and me


According to media and many Non-Muslims, only few Muslims are terrorists and bad, whose vision of Islam is not representative of real Islam.

With out going in to details of that wisdom, lets ask how these very few Muslims are sufficient for such ethnic cleansing of religious minorities and their persecution? Take Hindus in Pakistan. They are going to disappear from Pakistan soon. And abduction of Hindu girls continues and probably it will increase after Supreme Court's virtual sanctioning of such practice.

Take Christians. 700 Christian girls are abducted annually. Many more Christians fell pray to Islamic blasphemy law.

Is it possible that above things could be result of few Muslims misunderstanding Islam? Blasphemy law is not invention of this few Muslims.

All this happened and continues to happen because Islam - at its core - is hostile to co-existence of all faiths based on equality. Central to what Muslims believe is the sanctioning and requirement of humiliating and degrading Non-Muslims living under Islamic law. If the written proof for this is in Sharia law, its enactment can be seen here as a Christian girl narrates her experiences in Pakistan.

Many of the Muslim kids refused to share food with me, nor would they take a bite or sip from anything I may have consumed. I have had girls tell me point blank that their parents have instructed them never to sit and eat with people of other faiths because it’s haraam (forbidden). I will tell you what’s haraam; teaching your children to hate instead of love…that’s what’s haraam.
The question is from where do those Muslim parents get such crazy ideas of requirements of their faith. The simple answer - but no one wants to see and hear  -  is Koran, foundational book of Islam.
......
......
I will never forget an incident in school during a physical education class when, as I was passing the volley ball to a Muslim girl, her eyes suddenly shot daggers at me and she screeched:
"Why do you wear that cross with an idol on it?
“This is my prophet…Jesus”, I said in a hoarse whisper because mother had always told me never to argue with people about religion.
“Just like you wear that Allah around your neck, I wear the cross.”
“Idol worshipping is haraam, and the Prophet hated idol worshippers. You are a kafir (disbeliever)”"
The word kafir has resonated within me forever. I was marked, stamped and stained for life as if a member of the kachra class in India.
Yet again, any one searching for truth can see that Koran and Islam are behind such behavior of Muslims, like calling kafir or showing hatred towards other symbols.

Islamic republic of Belgium?


The below suggests it.

If Belgium becomes Islamic, then one can think about what would happen to India, specifically the states like WEST BENGAL and ASSAM.



Watching the video, it appears the commentator is still sounding optimism when he presumes only a small minority of Muslims want Sharia. It is these kind of presumptions and delusions, which are responsible for present day mess and ever increasing aggressive attitude of Muslims.

May be this guy could ask himself how many Islamic countries are there that treat religious minorities in their nations equally?

Sharia in action: Iran threatens to bomb Church


How does this compare with apologists of Islam claiming Islam respects all religions and guarantees freedom of religion? Or - my personal favorite - Islamic law is compatible with modern democracy and secularism? Or the claim of ordinary Muslims that THERE IS NO COMPULSION IN ISLAM?

The simplest truth is that there is neither freedom of religion nor freedom of conscience in Islam.

Koran exhorts Muslims to fight Non-Muslims until they either convert to Islam or pay Jizya and live in abasement. Yes, that is what 'abasement' the condition of Non-Muslims should be (verse 9:29).

Or Prophet Mohammad simply says ".........kill any Muslim who changes his religion ...."

Islamic law (Sharia law) prescribes death penalty to Muslims who leave Islam.

The Reliance of Traveller, manual of Islamic sacred law (i.e. Sharia law) - which is certified to be authentic and reliable - lays down following conditions for Non-Muslims to abide under the condition that any breach of these rules by Non-Muslims leads to punishment by death (here):

@o8.1
When a person who has reached puberty and is sane voluntarily apostatizes from Islam, he deserves to be killed.
@o8.4
There is no indemnity for killing an apostate
@o11.5
Non-Muslims
-2- Non-Muslims are distinguished from Muslims in dress, wearing a wide cloth belt (zunnar);
-4- Non-Muslims must keep to the side of the street;
-7- Non-Muslims are forbidden to build new churches (or to repair existing ones.)
@o11.10
-3- Non-Muslims should not lead Muslim away from Islam;

With this kind of Islamic, or identical to this, Iran literally sentenced a Muslim (who converted to Christianity and became pastor) to death  and it has arrested dozens of Muslims who converted to Christianity.

It looks like even these measures couldn't stop the tide of Muslims converting to Christianity - yes, there are many Muslims who are troubled by fascist document Koran and ways and life of Islam's Prophet (Prophet Mohammad).

But in the end, it is all the same.

Iran Threatens Church with Bombing  
{{{

Another church in Tehran was ordered to cease holding services in Farsi, the Iranian national language, otherwise it could be "bombed".
.....

"It now seems likely that the Islamic authorities have imagined that with this new restriction they will somehow hold back the rapid, and evidently extremely worrying, spread of Christianity amongst the people under their yoke," according to a report by the Farsi Christian News Network.

Iranian security agents have been arresting Christians in a country-wide crackdown since Christmas.

Triple Talaq given even in state of drunkenness is valid: Deoband


This is the latest fatwa issued by Darul Uloom Deoband, which is the most important seminary in India - according to some. It is worth recalling that Taliban of Afghanistan is product of this Deoband philosophy.

Deoband issued this fatwa in response to a Muslim inquiring about his sister's marriage as her husband, in a state of drunkenness, said, "main tumko talaq deta hoon, talaq, talaq, talaq (I give you talaq — talaq talaq talaq)." (here)

This ruling is directly from Islamic law book, fiqh, or even Sharia. Though Sharia admits to triple talaq, I have not seen anything in Koran or Hadith that literally says Talaq, even in a state of drunkenness, is valid. At least, I have not come across valid reasoning by any Islamic scholar in support of this.

Reasonable or not, since it exists in fiqh (or Sharia), now the girl has to go through torture if she wants to return to her husband and live with him.

As I mentioned in one of my earlier posts (here), when triple talaq takes place - wife can no longer live with her husband who pronounced it unless she marries another guy and consummates. In plain words, Husband (A) gives triple talaq to wife (Z), if A and Z want to live together again then Z has to marry some other guy (X) and has to have even sex with X.

The Reliance of Traveller, Islamic manual of Sharia law of Shafi'i school of thought, says:
@N7.7.... When a free man has pronounced a threefold divorce (triple talaq), the divorced wife is unlawful for him to remarry until she has married another husband in a valid marriage and the new husband has copulated (dis: p29) with her, which at minimum means that the head of his erect penis fully enters her vagina.
 Just look at the whole thing: It is the fault of husband and it is wife who is getting shamed.

Rinkel Kumari and The Great Islamic Justice


Note: I just added "plain truth" at the end of this post. In simple words it is "The Supreme Judge of Supreme Court of Pakistan has condoned kidnappings of Hindu girls and their forceful conversions and marriages to Muslim men"

Rinkel Kumari  was kidnapped. Converted to Islam. Married off to a Muslim guy.

In the morning, I referred to a online news portal which has reported:

 ""In Pakistan there is justice only for Muslims, justice is denied Hindus. Kill me here, now, in court. But do not send me back to the Darul-Aman [Koranic school] ... kill me". This is the desperate, heartbreaking outburst of Rinkel Kumari, a Hindu girl aged 19....."

http://www.asianews.it/news-en/Hindu-girl-tells-Supreme-Court-she-would-rather-die-than-convert-to-Islam-24358.html

This news portal is not a commercial entity. It was a Christian portal. One will never see any bias based on Hindus as it is equally critical of India and some Hindu organizations. So, I reported this incident. More over, it is a reputed one.

The only news I read about this girl in main stream media is in New York Times and which I did not refer to because I know how honest it is when coming to reporting about Islam. Never the less, one can read what it said by clicking on the below link:

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/27/world/asia/no-quick-resolution-to-pakistani-case-of-rinkel-kumari-conversion-to-islam.html?_r=1

Similarly, there is another Christian news portal (Pakistan Christian Post), which reported:

"........urged Supreme Court of Pakistan to ensure safety of Hindu girls Rinkle kumari and Dr. Lata to whom it ordered to send to Darul-Aman on March 26, 2012, instead of their request to send them with their parents in court hearing."

(My Point: Now why so called Supreme Court wants to send this girl to some Islamic school when she requested SC to send her along with her parents? You will get the answer soon.)

The online Christian portal continues by reporting and conforming what was reported earlier (my first link) about Rinkel's statements. Below is the link:
http://www.pakistanchristianpost.com/viewnews.php?newsid=1799

After googling, I also found that Times of India reported this incident. The report can be read from below:

http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-03-27/pakistan/31244436_1_pak-sc-conversion-shelter-home

TOI also reports that Rinkel wanted to go with her parents. (I suggest you to read comments in addition to reading the report.)

Now comes the nail in coffin.

And it is Pakistan's major news paper The Nation. One can read from below:

http://www.nation.com.pk/pakistan-news-newspaper-daily-english-online/islamabad/27-Mar-2012/sc-sends-girls-to-shelter-home-given-time-to-decide

And this tells the whole issue. It reports:

"The Supreme Court on Monday sent two Hindu girls, who had converted to Islam and got married to Muslim boys to Panah, a shelter home, so that they could make a decision of their future with ‘free will’ and with whom they want to go - parents or husbands.
Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry said, “Let these girls have some free time to think over and decide about their future themselves as now there is pressure of the court, police and their husbands’ parents on them.”"

(My point: Why all this non sense? Why differ the judgment until April 18nth?  This report also confirms earlier reports that Rinkel wants to go with her parents. Now should one be a Einstien to understand that she was kidnapped when she was pleading with Supreme Court Judge to let her go with her parents?)

The Nation continues to report:

 "...............one of the girls, Rinkle Kumari, whose new name after conversion is Faryal Bibi, while crying begged, “I want to go with my parents,” ......."

(My point: What more that girl could do in such atmosphere? Now comes the Honorable Supreme Court's observation. Hold your breadth.)

".......the chief justice said, “Such marriages are not taken in normal situation,” adding; “the criminal element could not be overruled in these cases.” ....."

(My point: Now, can there be any doubt that Rinkel Kumari was kidnapped? Now, if it can not be over ruled, why not strike off her conversion and her marriage? And we all can go home! It is not that simple.)

"................He, however, cautioned that both the girls have embraced Islam and solemnized marriages and have been living with their husbands as wives......."

(My points: THE GREAT ISLAMIC JUSTICE DELIVERED. 


It does not matter how she converted but she converted to Islam. And she can not go back to Hinduism as she becomes an apostate and punishment for apostasy is death. And Pakistan being an Islamic nation having Sharia being the ultimate judge, what else Supreme Court can do?


What kind of man really calls kidnapping and being confined forcefully as living together? Look at what the Judge says now.)

"........Justice Tariq Pervaiz said, “We also have to see this factor that in India Muslim girls convert to Hinduism.” ..."

(My point:  Why doesn't he mention Pakistan? It is because Islam prohibits Muslim women marrying Non-Muslim men. If any union takes place, it only can come after the guy converting to Islam. 


But why mention what happens in India? Hindu girls marrying Muslim guys outnumbers  Muslims girls marrying Hindu guys by 100 to 1 ratio. In any case, conversion is not needed.)

Like I said, it is great Islamic justice. It is Islamic logic.

P.S.   The SC Judge says the criminal elements in these type of marriages can not be ruled out and also in these cases. The he observes 'but they have converted to Islam'.


It means they can not go back to their original religion. It does not matter how they converted. It does not matter if they converted at the point of gun. Because such conversions are valid in Islam. Prophet Mohammad himself sets an example in this kind before he invaded Mecca. The judge has proved that the axiom of 'no compulsion in Islam' is false. In the first place, Islam itself never really meant what Islamic apologists say about the verse 2:256.   


The second point is his observation adds to veracity of Islamic law: No Muslim can ever change their religion. Once any one who converts to Islam - circumstances does not matter  - there is no going back because Islam requires that those Muslims leaving Islam must be put to death. Prophet himself said,"Kill any Muslim who changes his religion..".    


In the case of Rinkel Kumari, it is obvious that she has no choice of getting back to her original life as Islam forbiddens Muslims from leaving Isl.   


Now coming to marriage, from the observations of The Judge, it is obvious that he was implying Rinkel does not have any choice but to live with her husband. Why? Because in Islam once a woman enters a wedlock, it is not her wish to come out. Divorce is the choice of husband.


We can clearly see that line of argument of Judge - in the matter of conversion or marriage - is in complete accordance with Islamic law. Then, we should not be surprised as Pakistan is a declared Islamic state and Sharia law is the ultimate reference.


But, what pains me is the consequences of such observations by Supreme Court of Pakistan. Because, by default, The Judge has condoned and sanctioned kidnapping, forceful conversion of Hindu girls and subsequent marriage to Muslim man. It means, in the absence of any corrective measure or punishing the culprits, now, I am saddened to say that abductions of Hindu girls in Pakistan will increase significantly as Muslim  men realized that law can not do anything.

50,000 Christians flee Syria; another ethnic cleansing by Muslims


World in Dhimmitude. That is what I would call.

What makes Syria is of particular concern is when Christians in Iraq were ethnically cleansed, many of them moved in to Syria (here).

And 50,000 moving out of Syria is not because of some civil war between rebels and Govt. It is because Islamic militants wanted to impose Sharia in Syria and are targeting Christians intentionally (Islamic forces target Christians in Syria  and  Syria: Armed Attack On Catholic Monastery).

Targeting of Syrian Christians has every thing to do with Islam, Islamic law and Islamic beliefs.

Considering that Assad's Govt. is relatively secular and well established intentions of Islamic forces for enforcing Sharia, Christians in Syria have a stake in survival of Assad's Govt. and are largely supportive of it.

For Islamists, Assad's Govt. is the obstacle between them and they imposing Sharia on Syria, which they consider it be birthright of Muslims. Logically it follows, in the views of Islamic militants, Syrian Christians have breached Dhimma pact by supporting anti-Islamic Govt - One condition on Non-Muslims living in Islamic nations is that they never support any forces against Islam -  so, Christians are legitimate targets to killed and driven out, which ever is possible. This is the same Islamic belief that was responsible for ethnic cleansing of Christians from Iraq.

So, we have ethnic cleansing of religious minorities taking place in Iraq, Sudan and Syria; yet we are not supposed to point out this nor media will never report these because doing so means inciting hatred against Muslims.

'Ethnic Cleansing of Christians' in Syria; 50,000 Flee  

Heart breaking story of Rinkel Kumari (Faryal Shah), A Hindu girl in Pakistan


Rinkel was kidnapped;

She was forced to convert to Islam;

She was called Faryal Shah now;

She was married off to a wealthy Muslim guy;

The media reports:



It is clear that news reader was telling that Rinkel told the court that she converted to Islam on her own.

Most of the time it is not how it goes. The girl (could be a Hindu or a Christian) is simply forced to sign the documents infront of police or some judges. Or Muslims fill the court room and shout "Allah Akbar" to influence her statements, implicit in this kind of behavior is reminding girl about threats to herself and her family if she does not tell the court what they wanted to hear.

But media never mentions all these and therefore becomes accomplices in ongoing ethnic cleansing of Hindus from Pakistan.

Now, she tells Supreme Court (here) - Supreme Court ensured that no one was present in the court room when they recorded her statement-  that she was kidnapped.

Is this a new development? Way back, Human Rights Council of Pakistan has reported honestly about ongoing kidnappings of Hindu girls.

It is not all this.

Watching the video clip, one can see procession by Muslims celebrating this 'eventful' conversion and marriage. They knew that they kidnapped her, so why are they celebrating?

Because by kidnapping that girl and celebrating, they feel they are humiliating Hindus and Hindu community. By no means this is the lone event. It happens all the time in Pakistan. It happens all the time in Egypt, where Coptic Christian community is the victim.

Humiliating Non-Muslims is so important to Muslims and Islam that Sharia law contains (here) well developed rituals and regulations for humiliating and degrading Non-Muslims and these become part of beliefs of Muslims and also that they influence how Muslims behave towards Non-Muslims.

The worst is yet to reveal itself in this sad story of Rinkel Kumari.

Having told the court that she was converted forcibly, she more or less put herself in the direct line of rage of Muslims. More so, if she says she is still a Hindu, Muslims consider herself as an apostate which makes legal for any Muslim to kill her.

More importantly, Muslims believe that her family has breached the so called Dhimmah covenant, by bringing their daughter away from Islam - Dhimmah covenant requires that Non-Muslims should not stop another Non-Muslim from becoming a Muslim - which puts them in arms way of getting killed. Sometimes, Muslims attack entire community for their alleged insult of Islam even by one Non-Muslim.

Report - I referred to - already mentions about her family receiving death threats and about their hiding in some other place.

One can clearly see: This is Islam. This is 'Muslims'.

Hindu Girl (Rinkel Kumari) in Pakistan's Supreme Court: "Kill me here. But do not send me back to Koranic school."


When I reported a statement made by Pakistan's minister that 200 Hindu girls disappeared in recent months referring to a report, the report inhumanely mentions a Muslim journalist from Pakistan saying only few of these cases of kidnappings are true and some of these girls run away from parents to convert to Islam and to stay with their loved ones (here). The journo was referring to those hapless girls telling the court that they did convert and marry out of their own decision; never mentioned fact is she was forced to sign lot of documents (Just like Priyanka Todi was asked to sign papers; I should't have brought up this case here but it shows how pre-planned Muslim guys are in the cause of Islam).

Is there any choice for that hapless girl other than saying those things when court rooms are filled with Jihadists shouting "Allah Akbar" and few more hundreds of Jihadists waiting outside courts? There are even cases where parents of victim girl and their lawyers were not even allowed in to courts.

Indisputable truth in this kind of stories is police and judiciary become complicit to Islamic cause. Never mind that Human Rights Commission of Pakistan lamentably mentioned this in its report that 20 to 25 Hindu girls are kidnapped every month.

Hindu girl tells Supreme Court she would rather die than convert to Islam
{{{
"In Pakistan there is justice only for Muslims, justice is denied Hindus. Kill me here, now, in court. But do not send me back to the Darul-Aman [Koranic school] ... kill me". This is the desperate, heartbreaking outburst of Rinkel Kumari, a Hindu girl aged 19, who has entrusted her heartfelt appeal to the judges of the Supreme Court in Islamabad. Her story is similar to that of many other young women and girls belonging to religious minorities - Christians, Hindus, Sikhs, Ahmadis - kidnapped by extremist groups or individuals, most of the time lords or local mafia, which convert them by force and then marry them . And that is what the girl said on 26 March, before the judges of the capital's court.

The drama of Rinkel Kumari, a student of Mirpur Mathelo, a small village in the province of Sindh, began the evening of February 24: A handful of men seized her and delivered her a few hours later into the hands of a wealthy Muslim scholar, the man then called her parents, warning them that their daughter "wants to convert to Islam."  ...................
...........As often happens in these cases, even the judiciary is complicit: a local judge ordered that the girl should be given to the Muslims, because her conversion is "the result of a spontaneous decision" and also stated the marriage was above board. A claim that was repeated on February 27, at the hearing before the court, after which the girl was "renamed" Faryal Shah.

However, the story of Rinkel is not an isolated case: every month between 25 and 30 young people suffer similar abuses, for a yearly total of about 300 conversions and forced marriages. Hindu girls - but also Christian - who are torn from their family and delivered into the hands of their husbands / torturers.......
................
Speaking to AsiaNews Fr. Anwar Patras, the Diocese of Rawalpindi, condemned "with force" the kidnapping and forced conversion. "The Hindus in Sindh - adds the priest - live a hard life. The reality is getting harder for them, they are forced to migrate because the state is unable to protect them and their property.
}}}

Extra-ordinary thing in this case is every thing (behavior of Muslims) that was happening here is legal in Islam and in complete accordance with prophetic example i.e. Prophet Mohammad is the perfect example for Muslims to follow.

Now will Indian media report this incident? Earlier they reported this particular case probably with implicit assumption that she ran off on her own and Hindus are trying to create a scene but it is fashionable for these media to deride Hindus in every way they could.

Now if they stay silent and do not report, we can all rest assured that that 'implicit assumption' I mentioned above is their line.

Islam (or Sharia) on relations between Non-Muslims and Muslims; and Dhimmah


There is no shortage of Muslim spokesmen esp. living in Non-Muslim majority nations swearing by trite cliches  - one of them being Islam (or Sharia) teaches tolerance and respect  towards all faiths, which unfortunately has many takers among politicians and media people. Encompassing this line is the kind of relations between Non-Muslims and Muslims Islam envisages. So, what does Koran and sayings and traditions of Prophet Mohammad (collectively called Sunna) say about those relations? This is important because Sharia law - constitution of any Islamic state - is derived from these regarding how it should treat Non-Muslims living in Islamic state.

The debate between Mr. Eric Allen Bell and Mr. Nadir Ahmad on the topic 'Is Islam inherently violent?'


Mr. Eric Allen Bell needs a small introduction. He was a former leftist but a different one like, he is open to reason. And he is a humanist unlike leftists who are hypocrites and people of double standards. He used to write in a liberal blog and considered that - with out ever reading - so called 'Islamaphobes' esp. Mr. Robert Spencer and Ms. Pamela Geller are liers,  hate and fear mongers. But after incidents that happened after so called Arab Spring, seen and read by Mr. Bell, he started reading Robert Spencer's acclaimed book 'The Truth about Mohammad'. To quote his words: "When I finally read one of your books for the first time, I kept waiting for the part where you would prove yourself to be a "Loon" so that I could stop reading, but that never happened." Finally, when he wrote against Muslim organizations in US - these present themselves as moderates but underneath they push the well known Islamic agenda - for their not so 'moderate' agenda, he was suspended from writing in that liberal blog.

Here, the debate is between Mr. Bell and Mr. Nadir Ahmad on the topic of 'Is Islam inherently violent?'.

Mr. Bell speaks first. At his first turn to speak, Mr Nadir Ahmad starts lying about Islam and Koran when he states Koran does not condone raping of infidels women.

My question to this Muslim and 'so called' scholar is what are those verses 4:24, 70:29-30 and 23:5-6 along with few more saying? Are they not legalizing that Muslim men have sexual rights over slaves? Is it not a rape esp. when we consider the fact that most of these sex slaves are infidel women taken as prisoners of war? Didn't Prophet Mohammad take a young Jewish girl Ruhaina as sex slave after he beheaded 600 to 900 Jewish men of tribe Banu Qurayza? Didn't Prophet Mohammad have a coptic slave girl by the name Mariya, who even gave birth to his son -child died while still an infant?

Take any Sira written earlier, Sira means biography of Prophet Mohammad, one will find that it is dotted with many incidents of Muslim men taking women as sex slaves. Prophet Mohammad even gifts sex slaves to his father-in-law and son-in-law.

But Eric does very well by constantly stressing upon centrality of role of Prophet Mohammad in Islam.

Secular Govt. of Assam is paying cost of Islamization of Assam by giving money to madrassas


Anyway, the future of Assam is Islamic. If not entire Assam, one can say this with respect to districts bordering Bangladesh - which already turned in to Muslim majority, meaning Southern Assam.

And the fate of Hindus of those regions will be nothing different from the fate that befell Hindus in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Kashmir i.e. ethnic cleansing from their own lands. All this implies so called 'SECULARISM' is nothing but treason against Hindus and the country itself. Accomplices in this treason are not 'illegal' Muslim immigrants from Bangladesh - they are only dutifully following what their scriptures ask of them - but Indian secular politicians, Indian political parties (including BJP) and most importantly corrupt Indian English media which seeks more influence in decision making because it is 'secular' in outlook.

Pakistan minister claims 100 Hindu women forced to convert to Islam


100 women, predominantly Hindu, converted forcibly to Islam?

That too in recent months ! Wrong.

Ever since I started writing in this blog i.e. since march 2010, I have been mentioning about this Islamic practice of humiliating Non-Muslims (Hindu and Christian) by abducting Non-Muslim women and forcing them to marry  Muslim men after conversion. Or they might have become concubines in some school of seminary.

Even this deplorable news fades in to emptiness if compared with overarching ethnic cleansing of Hindus from Pakistan and Bangladesh (it has not reached climax in Bangladesh yet, but it is on its way). One will only be labelled Hindu communalist or sympathizer with Hindu right wing for daring to ask what happened to Hindu populations in Pakistan and Bangladesh. Such kind of honest discussion can not be held like many other topics that shed light on Islam and its imperialist ideology. The left-intellectual terrorists in India are not just satisfied with achieving total prohibition on mentioning such truth. They also set intellectual fashion of Hindus deriding their own values and Muslims upholding their barbaric culture.

The evidence for this can be seen from our Bollywood 'Khans' regularly going to Pakistan and calling for good relations between Pakistan and India as if ethnic cleansing of Hindus from Pakistan is a trivial matter. Indeed it is if one considers belief of superiority of Muslims and Islam with respect to idolaters (actually all Non-Muslims) that Koran so wonderfully inculcates in to Muslims through numerous verses. For these Khans and other Muslims in India, evidence for Islamic superiority is Muslims ruling India and all those mosques constructed on ruins of Hindu temples.

Since it is general for superior people taking pity on inferiors occasionally or it could be called humiliation, how do these 'Khans' take pity on or humiliate Hindus? By marrying Hindu women.

In simplest words, no civilization has embarked on self destruction like these modern Hindus did in India.

A Pakistani minister has claimed that 100 non-Muslim women, predominantly Hindu, have been forced to convert to Islam in the country in recent months.
Minister for National Harmony Akram Masih Gill, a Christian, said that if true, the practice went counter to all things established by Islam as the faith prohibits forced conversion.
Really? He can say this because, otherwise, he wouldn't be alive.

Yet again six Muslim men arrested in Britain for sexual exploitation of children


This time the news report does not refer to these criminals as Asians, a worthy development on staying close to the truth. It also does not refer to who really they are i.e. Muslims. BBC might be thinking that all 6 men are from Mars.

Child prostitution inquiry: Six remanded on sex charges  
{{{

Six men from Oxford have been remanded in custody after appearing in court in connection with an investigation into child exploitation in the city.

The men face charges including rape, conspiring to rape a child, arranging child prostitution and trafficking.

They appeared before High Wycombe magistrates earlier after being charged by police on Friday.

Seven others have been bailed until next month.

The men charged in connection with the inquiry are Anjum Dogar, 30, and his brother Akhtar, 31, both of Tawney Street, and Kamar Jamil, 26, of Aldrich Road.

Zeshan Ahmed, 26, of Palmer Road, Mohammed Karrar, 37, of Cowley Road and Bassan Karrar, 32, of no fixed address, also appeared in court earlier.

Thames Valley Police, investigating claims 24 girls were being exploited, arrested 13 men following raids on properties in the city on Thursday.

More than 100 police officers were involved in 14 raids.

Obsession of Muslim men about controlling their wives; A book about husband beating wife becomes popular


Koranic verse 4:34 flatly tells good and pious women are obedient to husbands,  if not husbands can beat them.

I have discussed in detail about consequences of this verse and practical problems with it.

If any one ever mentions this verse to a Muslim woman, she probably responds by asking 'do husbands not beat their wives in other religions?' 

Yes, domestic violence takes place in all religions. Societies of these 'other' religions also have modern laws which criminalize such abusive behavior and punish husbands when wives complain. There is no dancing around this, I mean no one asks or cares if abusing husband beat his wife lightly or beat his wife severely.

Hypocrisy of Indian secularism and 'secular' media: A Muslim girl beaten for believing in Jesus


Indian secularism - according to constitution - means appeasing Indian Muslims and deriding every thing that is related to Hindu whether in person or belief and about which Hindus might feel proud and confident.

Why should Indian media be different? So, they conveniently chose to stay silent on violence committed by Muslims as it might be contradicting the opinion pushed through down our throats that Indian Muslims are discriminated against and they are victims and Indian Muslims are just law abiding. But the question is which law;  is it Sharia law or Indian law? And we already know about Sharia courts operating in Kashmir and some parts of Kerala. So, why should Muslims of West Bengal lag behind others in enforcing divine Sharia law?

Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia: All churches in the region must be destroyed


Let the title not mislead anyone in to believing that there are Churches in Saudi Arabia. Non-Muslims can not even take symbols and pictures, related to their faith, in to Saudi Arabia with out getting them confiscated at the air port.

And also Grand Mufti is not calling for such destruction of Churches based on his personal opinion. He is just following Sharia, derived from Koran and Sunna - sayings and traditions of prophet Mohammad.

Numerous traditions related to Prophet Mohammad from Islamic sources suggest that Prophet Mohammad wanted to do some thing similar. Read the below:
It has been narrated by 'Umar b. al-Khattib that he heard the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) say: I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula and will not leave any but Muslim. (Sahih Muslim; 19:4366
.......The Prophet on his death-bed, gave three orders saying, "Expel the pagans from the Arabian Peninsula, respect and give gifts to the foreign delegates as you have seen me dealing with them." I forgot the third (order)" .......(Sahih Bukhari; 4:52:288) 
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ismail ibn Abi Hakim that he heard Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz say, "One of the last things that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said was, 'May Allah fight the jews and the christians. They took the graves of their Prophets as places of prostration . Two deens shall not co-exist in the land of the Arabs.' " - (Malik's Muwatta, Book 45, Number 45.5.17)

Saudi Arabia does not have Churches but the contention is 'what are the lands of Arabs' or what region comprises Arabian Peninsula.

When Grand Mufti called for such action, we have not seen any kind of condemnation from Muslim spokesmen and their apologists insisting Islam is one peaceful and tolerant religion or any Islamic organization. But why do they have to do it? After all, neither infidel nations nor United Nations -which normally condemns every action deemed to be offensive to Muslims - said any thing.

But then again, we have accepted and got used to much worse things like ethnic cleansing of Non-Muslims from Islamic lands because Muslims are just being Muslims. But if we say anything that sheds light on Islam from Islamic sources, we are labelled Islamophobes. 



Indian Muslims - in unity - take to streets to demand release of a terrorist implicated in bombing of Israeli embassy bombing


The rift between Sunnis and Shites is legendary and also conditional on other factors esp. the factor of Non-Muslims. In the absence of this all important factor of Non-Muslims, Sunnis and Shites target and kill each other and this happens all the time in Pakistan and Iraq. At the outset, the endless violence between two sects might be surprising esp. in the light of Koranic self-seeking message of a Muslim should never kill a Muslim and due to very basic nature of faith priding on aspect of its complete submission to Allah's will, to many. But at the other extreme, Koran immerses itself with verses exhorting Muslims to fight, subjugate or kill infidels. So, any Islamic sect wanting to kill members of rival Islamic sect declares themselves as true Muslims and rival sects as infidels.  This Sunni-Shite division and resulting politics pervades all Islamic nations, and it can be seen here how a Presidential candidate in Egypt is saying Shites are infidels.

Coming to protest, the reported protest may not be big but protesters made their intention clear of enlarging protests in future, by size and, probably, in fury too. Their accusations are self-serving with claims of arrested person being innocent. Their paranoia is evident with their claim of Delhi police acting at the behest of Israel, and implicit message and demand in this accusation is India's foreign policy should be in accordance with interests and sentiments of Muslims.

The ultimate goal of Muslims in infidel nations is to bring the country under Islamic rule or at least - temporarily -to make its laws subservient to Sharia law. And means to achieve this goal is JIHAD. So, violence by riots or bomb blasts or influencing politics by vote, all are legitimate tactics in pursuing their goal. More over, protests taking place after Friday prayers is too conspicuous.

Muslims take to streets to demand journalist's release
{{{
Burying differences persisting for generations, hundreds of Muslims - both Shias and Sunnis - Friday took to the streets here to protest the arrest of journalist Syed Mohammed Kazmi, alleged to be involved in the Israel embassy car bombing in New Delhi last month.

Demanding Kazmi's release, prominent Muslim leaders led a procession comprising members of both sects from the Asafi Masjid till the Shaheed Smarak. They were joined by hundreds of Muslims who gathered at the Asafi mosque, after the Namaz-e-Juma (Friday prayer).

As Shia cleric Maulana Kalbe Jawaad led his contingent, it was joined by another 100 people from Tile Wali Masjid led by Maulana Fazlul Rehman. Some women also joined the protest.

The protesters claimed that Kazmi was implicated and shouted anti-Israel and anti-US slogans.

While the focal point of the "Ehtejaj ka muzahira" (public display of anger) was against the arrest of Kazmi, the crowd also burnt US flags and rallied against the Congress government for their pro-Israeli stance.

Protestors carrying the 'Save Kazmi' placards and banners pledged their support to the jailed journalist.

"Police have framed dubious charges against him and he is being subjected to custodial torture and harassment," said Sibtain Husain, a protestor.

Addressing the gathering, Maulana Kalbe Jawaad urged the people to unite and protest against the Congress government. He alleged that the Delhi Police chief had been acting at the behest of the Israeli intelligence agencies.

Maulana Fazlul Rehman emphasised on the Shia-Sunni unity and warned of bigger protests through the country if Kazmi was not released.

A massive protest has been planned outside the parliament March 26.

Kazmi was arrested by Delhi Police's Special Cell March 7, and accused of providing logistical support to those who attacked the Israeli embassy car in New Delhi last month.

A Conversation with a Hindu girl


Two days before, strangely I got an e-mail from a Hindu girl - I am guessing she is sophisticated, secular and liberal in outlook and idealistic too - accusing  me of being communal and saying Hindus like her are ashamed of me.

And I wrote to her that we could have a discussion on this and she agreed , surprisingly, to it and it was presented below.

Me(CHB) - communal and supposedly mean Hindu bigot - and the Hindu girl’s name for the purpose of presentation is  XYZ

CHB:  I am not sure if you have read anything I wrote. If you read and do inquire you will find that what ever I wrote here is from Islamic sources itself.

XYZ:  Hello, I am not interested in reading lies written by hate mongers like you. Even BJP says Islam is a religion of peace and it preaches tolerance. So, you should stop creating hatred between communities. In fact, all religions are same and teach the same thing.

CHB:  OK, I will stop doing. Since you are not interested in reading things written by me, how about you explain certain things.  And you do, I will close my blog !

XYZ:  Huh.....OK, I will try.

CHB:  First you should know that I have nothing to do with BJP politics or RSS ideology.

XYZ:  How am I suppoded to believe it? Just your words !

CHB:  Actually, BJP and RSS are stupid and they did great harm to genuine and humane cause of Hindus in India.

XYZ:  So you are worse than they.

CHB:  I really have no problem with what you think about me. Following is my first point:
How do you explain near disappearence of Hindus and Sikhs from Pakistan if you claim Islam is tolerant and preaches tolerance? Their population went from around 20% in 1950s to around 1% now; according to reports in the year 1998, their population is about 1.6% of Pakistan.

XYZ:  Huh.....I do not know about all this. But Islam is a religion of peace. Pakistan is just one Islamic country out of many. Why use Pakistan as a yardstick?

CHB:  What do you think of continuing  and ongoing persecution of few remaining Hindus and Christians by abducting their women and using blasphemy charges? Blasphemy law of Pakistam (part of Sharia too) mandates death penalty to those who criticize any thing that has to do with Islam i.e. Koran, Prophet Mohammad and Sharia law.

XYZ:  I think it is few bad Muslims and few extremist Islamic organizations that create trouble and do such horrible things. Majority of Pakistanis are moderate Muslims and Islam is a religion of peace and teaches tolerance. I read from news papers that blasphemy law is un-Islamic.  Islamic scholar Ashghar Ali Engineer too says this.

CHB:  Around 80% of Pakistani moderate Muslims  – according to an opinion poll conducted by Pew  –  support blasphemy law  and death penalty to apostates i.e. Muslims leaving Islam and enter another religion. Vast majority of them also support Islamic punishemnts like amputations and stoning adulterers to death. This is moderate Islam you are speaking about?

XYZ:  Huh.....that opinion poll must be wrong.

CHB:  Can you also explain how population of Hindus in Bangladesh came down from around 30% in 1970s to around 7% today? Or Bangladesh is also an lone Islamic nation?

XYZ:  Huh......I do not know....but Islam preaches tolerance and promotes harmony. Yes, Turkey and Malaysia are examples of successful moderate and modern Islamic  countries.

CHB:  Turkey. Turkey does not give equal rights to all its citizens. Only very recently, Non Muslums are asking Govt. Of Turkey to grant them rights on par with Muslims. You can read from below:

http://www.todayszaman.com/news-271942-turkeys-non-muslims-seek-equal-citizenship-rights-in-constitution.html

Regarding Malaysia, you are misinformed. Malaysia practices legalized discrimination against all Non Muslims. Below is the link:

http://knowing-islamic-doctrines.blogspot.in/search/label/islam%20in%20malaysia

XYZ:  ( After some time...) Huh.....I do not know but I heard that Islam sanctions freedom of religion and it is the first one to do so. Mr Ali Engineer says this in our English news papers. May be these countries are not following real Islam. You see, I have Muslim friends who are very good. Some of them have even returned from Saudi Arabia and Iran.

Islamists in Indonesia: Gender equality harms Islamic values


Out of 6 groups expressing such views, one is Indonesian Ulema Council. How come this group understands Islam so badly and so different from what Islamic spokesmen and women and their apologists (liberal and leftist) say in media like THE HINDU about Islam being the first one to bring women out of oppression ? That too considering that members of Ulema have spent their whole life in studying Koran and other Islamic scriptures, one can only wonder which version of Islam could be right. May be recalling some verses from Koran will help clearing dilemma to some extent.

Koranic verse 4:34:  Men are in charge of women because Allah made one of them superior to other, and because men spend their property for supporting women.....so good women are obedient to men. If not, husbands can beat wives.

Koranic verse 2:282:  ..........witness of two women is equal to witness of one man .....

Koranic verse 2:228: ......The men are a degree above women ....

Koranic verse 2:223:  Your wives are like tilth to you...so approach your wives as you approach tilth....

Koranic verse 4:11 : Share of a son is equal to share of two daughters in inheritance ........

One can add (read WHAT PROPHET SAID ON WOMEN) few more to this illustrious Koranic guidelines like a man can take as many as wives with the constrain of not more than 4 at any time and his explicit right to divorce wives at his will.

In twisting facts, often Islamic apologists, including women, say these are literal interpretations of Koran and Koran actually liberates women from oppression.

Above argument is naive considering that Koran is considered to be set of guidelines and rules for Muslims to live by with Allah saying Koran is simple to understand and these guidelines are never to be changed. More over, commands of master to slave are never in code or in some obscure language.

The Hindu reports: Forcible conversion of Hindu girls on rise in Sindh according to HRCP


Suddenly, The Hindu news paper - known for leftist and staunch anti-Hindu views - finds out Hindu girls are being kidnapped in Pakistan.

Should The Hindu news paper be called Islamophobic and communal too?

I started this blog 2 years ago and I lost count of how many times I have written about kidnapping of Hindu and Christian girls in Pakistan. And I remember many times when I have not put up some reports of kidnappings for some personal reasons (lack of time).

So, whats the big deal now as Hindus in Pakistan are on the verge of disappearing from Pakistan altogether. According to census report in the year 1998, they constitute 1.6 % of Pakistan's population. In 50s that percentage is more than 15%.

In the larger picture, this practice of abducting and kidnapping Non Muslim women (married or un-married) in Muslim majority nations takes place in Bangladesh and Egypt too. In Egypt, it is the Coptic girls who are regularly kidnapped and converted. And it any body's concern that population of Hindus in Bangladesh came down from above 25 % in the year 1971 to less than 8 % today? Numbers of Coptic Christians in Egypt too are in downward trend.

Overall, the populations of Non Muslims in Muslim majority countries are falling. Is there any significance to this phenomenon of inhumanity? Should it concern freedom loving people? Who and what is responsible for such wide spread ethnic cleansing of religious minorities in Islamic countries? Can we say that it has to do with teachings of Islam?

Some one might say that HRCP (Human right commission of Pakistan) is Islamic implying blaming Islam for some bad apples is uncalled for.

There may be Muslims in HRCP and the sudden concern of these luminaries in HRCP about ethnic cleansing of Hindus and Sikhs might be due to the realization that there will be no Hindus in future so that they can feel superiority. After all, Koran teaches Muslims are the best and superior while infidels are the worst of all creatures.

I equally wonder about how stupid an individual could be esp. if they are from HRCP. Because, when we take in to consideration of the kind of restrictions Sharia imposes on Non Muslims or Sharia law's institutionalized discrimination against Non Muslims, this extermination of Non Muslims along with their culture  from Islamic lands is just a foregone conclusion.

When Koran states humiliating Non Muslims is a religious obligation of Muslims, what can be a better way of inflicting humiliation upon infidels than abducting their women (married or unmarried) as it also serves double purpose of increasing Muslim population simultaneously achieving reductions in infidel population as women are at center of procreation.

Forcible conversion of Hindu girls on rise in Sindh: HRCP
{{{      

On an average around 20 to 25 Hindu girls are being forcibly converted to Islam every month in the southern Sindh province, Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) has said.

Urging the authorities to take note of these forced conversions, HRCP officials told reporters on Saturday that culprits were taking advantage of loopholes in the law.

Amarnath Motumel of the HRCP said that within a month 20 forced conversions had taken place.

“Apart from minor school girls, married women with children are not spared either,” he said.

The issue of Hindu girls being forcibly converted has come to the fore after the case of 18-year-old Rinkle Kumari from Sukkur who has converted and taken the Muslim name of Faryal after marrying a Muslim boy.

The family of the girl claim she was kidnapped and forcibly converted even after she appeared in court in Sukkur and claimed she converted out of her own free will.

But Motumel pointed out that not only were affected families warned of dire consequences but whenever a Hindu girl or her family appeared in court hundreds of religious zealots gather to pressurise them or they take to the streets as pressure tactics and to create an atmosphere of fear.

The families of Rinkle Kumari were also present at the conference in which her brother Inder said that had she been allowed to meet with her family members privately and even once she would never have converted.

“Despite the President’s orders for the girl’s rescue we are still waiting for something to be done.”

HRCP official Professor Badar Soomro said there was a need to enact new laws to restore a sense of security among the Hindu community.

He also said if a girl is kidnapped and her family registers a case she should be kept in a Darul Aman at least for a month before she is produced in court to record her statement.

Hindus fleeing Balochistan apply for asylum in India


Are they going to get permission from this secular (read anti-Hindu and appeasing Islamists) Govt.? Considering that media - which arrogantly supposes itself as sole medium for propagating and safe-guarding democracy, freedom and humanity- is a proven puppet of this Govt., it will not be surprising if Govt. says 'NO'.

This supposedly secular Govt. refused asylum for persecuted Hindus in the past and media and intellectuals didn't say a word (here).

The basis of media's and intellectual's favorite adjective 'secularism' i.e. humanity as value - to which this system intends to espouse so much is skin-deep in reality.

How else Kuladeep Nair can only be blind to ethnic cleansing of Hindus and Sikhs from Pakistan and continues to strive for good relations between India and Pakistan?

Or take Bollywood esp. so called Khans and people like Javed Akhthar - who openly ridiculed Indian spiritualism (One might say he has the right to criticize, but will the same gentleman extend this right to me if I point out supposedly secular Deobandi Islamic seminary is the inspiration behind the Taliban movement?) - trying to be ambassador for promoting good relations between India and Pakistan on basis of shared culture and civilization!

For all these fake celebrities and pseudo intellectuals, ethnic cleansing of Hindus and Sikhs from Pakistan and Bangladesh is of no consequence as if Hindus are not in need of basic human rights.

Or take thuggish media's constant streaming of lies about Gujarat riots in 2002? The way they package their news produces an image that only Muslims were killed and Muslims were never the killers by shadowing the fact that Hindus too were killed by Muslims. This deliberate false propaganda was conceived to perpetuate the myth of Muslims being victims always and to bring a wave of resentment among ignorant Hindus who can not really distinguish between Hindutva of BJP and speaking for Hindus.

In advancing the myth of Muslims being victims always, media criminally and cunningly has chosen to conceal the violence unleashed by Muslims on Hindus in West Bengal, Assam and Kerala even when the goal of such violence is turning those states in to Muslim majority and eventual caliphate in India.

The recent elections have given a ray of hope as electorate drubbed Congress(I) even after massive bias in media towards Congress(I). All this indicates people can see through ugly designs of media which right now is the single largest threat to survival of Hinduism in India.

Arab Spring and the Muslim women


I might not have been in my senses to see that Egyptian uprising is all about people, democracy and freedom; at least not in the sense we understand democracy and freedom. (I was told thrice like this.)

Like in other aspects, Arab spring is turning out to be Arab winter for most Muslim women. Sure, Muslim women took part in uprisings and that will be their last successful participation in the future to come as Islamist parties have already announced, after winning elections, any law contradicting Sharia will not be allowed.

Only ignorants blame these Islamist parties because any opinion poll taken in Islamic countries tells the real problem: overwhelming majority of Muslims want Islam to play a larger role and firmly believe that Islam is the solution to all the problems afflicting their societies. No wonder then, Muslim women will find more legalized discrimination against them and more restrictions on them.

To understand what role Islam has towards Muslim women, one needs to look at what Prophet Mohammad said in his farewell sermon:
You have rights over your wives and they have rights over you. You have the right that they should not defile your bed and that they should not behave with open unseemliness. If they do, God allows you to put them in separate rooms and to beat them but not with severity. If they refrain from these things they have the right to their food and clothing with kindness. Lay injunctions on women kindly, for they are prisoners with you having no control of their persons.You have taken them only as a trust from God, and you have enjoinment of their persons by the words of God....                
(Ibn Ishaq in biography of Prophet Mohammad, page 651)
What ever he said was in accord with what Koran says on women.(One can read this: What Prophet Mohammad said regarding women)

Saudi women injured during a protest against discrimination


What happened to the lofty Islamic claim of Islam being the first religion to recognize and grant women's rights and to free them from oppression? Anwar Sheikh explains that Islamic ulema and intellectuals invented this lie to keep away Muslim women from open rebellion. The best way to find about this question is to read Islamic sources like Koran, Hadith and Sharia law itself. Or one can look around opening their eyes and ears.

Here, yet again in the birth place of Islam- Saudi Arabia, Muslim female students are protesting against discrimination against them in universities and got injured.

One can also  recall that in the year 2002, Saudi police in their Islamic zeal to enforcing women to wear veil caused 15 women burn to death by refusing to let some of trapped women inside burning building out as they were not in proper Islamic attire (here).

Even in India, in the so called prestigious Islamic university, Aligarh, women are not allowed in to library and there are also many reports of Muslim male students trying to force Muslim women teachers to wear veils; response of our Govt. in all this is to simply stay out in the name of  'not interfering in Islamic institutions'.

Women 'injured' in Saudi university protest
{{{
An investigation has been launched after at least 50 women were reportedly injured when a protest at a university in Saudi Arabia turned violent. 
Hundreds of women took part in the protest against discrimination and mismanagement at the King Khalid University, in Abha, on Wednesday. 
Dozens were said to have been injured after security forces and religious police moved in to break it up. 
The university said some of the students had attacked staff. 
The BBC's Arab Affairs Editor, Sebastian Usher, says that images of the women shouting in protest against the university authorities were posted on social media and networking websites...........

Christians fleeing Syria to Lebanon


Islamic law protects life, property and religion - irrespective of one's faith. This is the message Islamists in wolves clothes intend to convey to all infidels - and they are largely successful, thanks to our media and pseudo  intellectuals. Or Non-Muslims in India wanted to continue to live in this delusion because the slogan 'All religions teach the same thing' appeals to their liberal persona - trained through lies and concealment of truth by our system. And consequent of all this will be unpleasant future which Christians in Middle East are finding out.

First, Christians from Iraq were driven out through series of attacks on Churches. Coptic Christians are increasingly trying to migrate to another country after supporting and participating in the so called Arab Spring. Now, Christians are fleeing Syria in anticipation of Islamists gaining control over the country. Any one listening?

Syrian Christians Fleeing to Lebanon
{{{
Amid reports that 1,000 Syrians are now fleeing the country daily for Lebanon, the national director of the Pontifical Mission Societies in Lebanon described the Church's response. 
"We have direct experience of Christian families who have fled to Syria [from] the violence or the oppression of the regime," said Father Paul Karam. "There are families who have relatives in Lebanon who have fled here and want to change their lives, looking for work. The Church's response in Lebanon was the hospitality and care of these people: we host them in parishes, provide food and clothing, we assist them at an economic level and insert them into the social fabric." 
"As a Church we reiterate that we are against violence," he added. "We want to promote peace and encourage dialogue. As for the Christians, the danger that looms is a scenario like Iraq, where Christians are forced to flee the country. The risk is that a dictatorial regime is replaced with an Islamist type which imposes the Sharia."
