AHMEDABAD: The real faces of terror seem to be emerging slowly from behind fake names and aliases that were used to attend terror training camps in Halol and Vagamon in Kerala. The four arrests on Thursday in connection with the Ahmedabad serial blasts were part of these ongoing revelations that the terror accused are making during police interrogation. For instance, Abbas Sameja, a gym instructor who trained youth in the Halol camp, had used the fake identity, Sajjad, while training the participants.

Similarly, Javed Ahmed Shaikh was simply Ahmed for the camp participants. “There can be hundreds of Sajjads and Ahmeds in any given Muslim-dominated area. Thus, we needed more concrete details before making the arrests,” said a crime branch official.

“We have the names now. At the moment, we are sifting through the aliases to know the real identities. A strong network of SIMI’s sleeping cells helped members disseminate information. Various meetings before the blasts saw new faces enter the scene,” said an investigating official.

“Out of the four arrested on Thursday, two had earlier attended camps at Halol and Vagamon. They had used their aliases then. We could nab Abbas Sameja of Bhuj and Javed Ahmed Shaikh of Ahmedabad on the basis of their identification,” said Ashish Bhatia, joint commissioner of police, crime branch.

Bhatia added that the entire operation was masterminded by old SIMI members. However, involvement of the new entrants was a conscious decision so as to conceal the faces behind it. “It is important to identify the key players. They have further enrolled the members and even created third-tier cadres at district levels. Some of the operatives for this operation were selected from that bunch. Thus, we are going through the list. There are yet some unidentified youths also in Gujarat,” sources said.

AHMEDABAD: Ahmedabad Crime Branch on Friday charged the four newly arrested accused of luring youths to accept Islam and indoctrinating jihad into them.

Producing Abbas Sameja (36) from Bhuj, Naved Qadri (23) from Juhapura and Javed Ahmed Shaikh (25) from Gomtipur, arrested in Ahmedabad serial blasts cases, the Crime Branch argued that the investigating agency has concrete information that Qadri had in the past lured young boys to convert into Islam and forced them to take part in Jihadi activities.

The remand application stated that the police wanted to know as to how many persons were converted by Qadri and made members of Student Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). His remand was sought to know how many of such youths were used in the blasts. Crime Branch also produced Ayaz Saiyed, who is the first arrested in connection with the bicycle bombs, accusing him of planting bomb in Naroda.

Twelve reasons enumerated in the remand application claimed that the police had to probe about financial assistance for terror act. Besides, Sameja would help identify those who participated in Halol and Kerala training camps.

It appealed again that they needed full remand period as the accused were well-educated and trained to misguide police. Judge G M Patel granted 14-day remand to the Crime Branch for all four accused. There are 15 others who are in Ahmedabad Crime Branch’s custody, while two in Surat police’s custody. The accused in Surat bomb planting case will be produced before this judge on Saturday.

Kerala’s Muslim majority district Malappuram – A Mini Pakistan Strangling Hindus there

Kerala’s Muslim majority district Malappuram – A Mini Pakistan

Publication: Hindu Voice, February 19, 2006

Hindus are under siege in the Muslim majority district of Malappuram – Kerala. The district was carved out to create a Muslim majority district by the Communist government headed by E.M.S Namboothiripad.

Today, we see a continuation of social, economic and political exclusion of Hindus in Malappuram. Hindus are marginalized and controlled by social, educational and political engineering by Muslim fundamentalists. Hindus are restricted in employment, educational opportunities, political participation and upward mobility. The municipality and all Panchayats are controlled by Muslims. Muslims intimidate and threaten Hindus to deny them active political participation. Their ultimate political goal runs through a vital interim objective-the creation of an unremitting paralyzing sensation of fear in the target Hindu community.

Today, Muslims in Malappuram differ from the invading Muslim army of Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan. Muslim armies of Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan murdered thousands of Hindus, destroyed hundreds of Hindu temples, engaged in forced conversion, murder, loot, rape, sabotage and blackmail. The tactics of invading Tipu Sultan and Hyder Ali were different. However, the tactics of Muslims in Malappuram is to achieve wider goals, including marginalizing and force out Hindus from the district.

Several thousand Muslims from Malappuram are employed in Gulf countries. With the free flow of money from the Middle East and with the political power of the Muslim League cabinet ministers, Muslims work to undermine economic security of Hindus and disrupt Hindu family life. The goal of their strategy is to drive Hindus out of the district. Some congress politicians become a tool in the hands of the Muslim fundamentalist groups in Malappuram district.

All the schools and colleges are controlled by Muslims and special privileges are accorded to them enabling them to neutralize Hindus. Hindu students are an easy target for psychological indoctrination. One of the most telling examples of such policy in action is the cancellation of educational classes on Friday and Muslim holidays including the month of Muslim Ramadan. By using such psychological manipulation, Muslims succeed in creating anxiety, fear and panic among young Hindus. The atmosphere created
by such acts casts a great shadow over Hindu society. Hindus also feel unsafe in their own homes and workplaces, daily life is disrupted, causing considerable harm to personal and family morale. Hindus in general are depressed, marginalized and demoralized. Suicide rate among Hindus are increasing in Malappuram. The Muslim message is: until you leave Malappuram district, you will not be safe.

Muslims exert economic pressure on Hindus with money and political power. Muslims try to amplify Hindu fear by denying them economic and educational opportunities at institutions and businesses controlled by them. With the free flow of money from the Gulf countries and government subsidies, Muslims are grabbing lands, property and small businesses from poor Hindus. Poor, unemployed Hindus are driven out of urban areas dominated by Muslims.

Government policy of Muslim appeasement, special privileges and financial aid exclusively for Muslims is what makes strategic threats of Muslims more harmful to Hindus.

TOWARD A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO SAVE HINDUS IN MALAPPURAM

The Hindu population that must live under the threat of jihadis in Malappuram, are in need of economic aid, employment opportunities, political and social support for survival. And this can be done through more educational opportunities, technical support for information processing business, social and political support in order to prevent the damage caused by Muslim domination.

Hindus from across the country must provide support to neutralize Muslim social pressure and economic exploitation. Special privileges and appeasement of Muslims by the government must cease. The government and the political decision makers have a responsibility to all their citizens in providing economic and educational opportunities. Among other things, decision makers can help by allocating the necessary funds for Hindus for education, and economic activities. Above all, Hindus all over Kerala must recognize the strategic psychological damage which could be caused by ignoring the plight of Hindus in Malappuram. It is time for Hindus to be organized and united to prevent another mini Pakistan forming in Malappuram.
