Pakistan ‘sharia’ chief wants Islamic law for entire world

Pak ‘sharia’ chief wants Islamic law for entire world
ANI, Feb 18, 2009

Lahore: After inking a deal with the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) government for implementation of Islamic law in the Swat Valley, the Tehreek-e-Nifaz-e-Shariat Muhammadi (TNSM) chief Sufi Muhammad, has expressed his desire of implementation of a similar law over the whole world.

Expressing his hatred for people’s rule, Muhammad said Islam does not have any mention of democracy or elections.

“From the very beginning, I have viewed democracy as a system imposed on us by the infidels. Islam does not allow democracy or elections,” ‘The Daily Times’ quoted Muhammad, as saying.

He said that the continuous bloodbath in the region was due to the hesitant approach of different regimes in the country to accept the superiority of the Islamic law.

“Had the government accepted our demands in 1994, we would have not seen the violence we are seeing today,” he said.

Muhammad said the authorities should have held dialogues with the Taliban before initiating military action against them, as it would have resulted in less violent activities.

He hoped that the new accord signed with the government would help the Taliban in establishing a complete Islamic state.

“I believe the Taliban government formed a complete Islamic state, which was an ideal example for other Muslim countries. Had this government remained intact, it could have led to the establishment of similar Islamic governments in many other countries,” Muhammad said.

M P Prashanth, 21 Jan 2009, KOZHIKODE: Sainudheen alias Abdul Sattar alias Sattar Bhai, believed to be the brain behind terrorist activities in India including the blasts at Bangalore and Gujarat, was arrested from Toly Chowk in Hyderabad on Tuesday.

Sainudheen, who was arrested jointly by the Counter Intelligence Cell with assistance from the Central Crime Station (CCS) and the Kerala police, belongs to Kondotty in Malappuram district.

Sainudheen, who is wanted by many states including Kerala, used to coordinate terror activities of SIMI and the Indian Mujahideen. Sainudheen is believed to be a major link in sending five youths to Kashmir for terror training. The youths had stayed with him in Hyderabad on their way to Kashmir.

Kerala Black Pepper gardens – the center of Saudi sponsored Islamic terrorism in India – the secret SIMI connections
Balaji Reddy, Aug. 17, 2008

Saudis and oil rich tycoons of Islamic Middle East have for a long time targeted the Indian black peeper gardens for investments. They faced resistance. But they used Islamic terrorists groups to acquire the precious Tillacheri black pepper gardens.

The Jihad in God’s own country

“God’s Own Country,” as Kerala’s tourism advertisements call it, hasn’t seen a terrorist strike — an exception among the major southern States. But Islamist groups are gaining both followers and influence. Last year, the State government said SIMI now operates through twelve front organisations, mainly in the districts of Malappuram and Kondotty.

In the imagination of Kerala Islamists, SIMI-linked terrorists are inheritors of an unbroken line of Islamist resistance dating back to struggles against Portuguese imperialism. Recruits are told of Zayn-ad-Din, a Malabar coast resident who in his 1580 book, Tuhfat al-Mujahideen, called on “the Faithful to undertake a jihad against the worshippers of the Cross.”

In the Kashmir valley, the police are still in disbelief at the letters they have received from hundreds of miles away.

“If that’s my son who is involved in any such terrorist or separatist activity. I disown him and I don’t want the dead body of him to be brought here and burry here,” reads one.

From Kerala, the parents of two killed alleged terrorists have written to the Kashmir police, calling their sons traitors. The two men were among five killed trying to cross the Line of Control.

Security forces are alarmed at this new turn in the Kasmir insurgency. And they worry whether the Valley is being used as launchpad for a new kind of pan Islamic militancy. The police in the south echo their concerns.

Recent arrests have shown that the four boys who travelled from the south to the north and wanted to cross over into Pakistan were not an aberration.

Cops find Kerala connection in terror attacks

MUMBAI: Investigations into the Indian Mujahideen (IM) terror module recently busted by the Mumbai police have revealed a Kerala connection. The
police are now gathering details about the operatives being active in two districts of northern Kerala.

Sources said one of the districts is next to Mangalore, while the second, though has a significant Muslim population, was never on the terror map. The IM module has been active in Mangalore and the recent arrest of four members from the coastal belt adds credence to it. Two of the key persons in the IM module–Riyaz Bhatkal and his civil engineer brother Iqbal–belong to Mangalore, though they managed to escape the police dragnet.

Despite incriminating evidence of co-operation between Kerala based groups and major pan-Islamic terrorist organisations, there is general lethargy in the state police machinery and intelligence agencies to crack down on such groups owing to the political patronage they enjoy in Kerala. Many of these groups have openly allied with major political Fronts in recent years,

India concerned as Tailban strikes Sharia law deal with Pakistan. The Islamic threat is closing in on the civilized world

Taliban strikes Sharia law deal with Pakistan

India concerned over Sharia law in Malakand
17 Feb 2009, 0334 hrs IST, Indrani Bagchi, TNN

NEW DELHI: As senior Indian officials and US special envoy Richard
Holbrooke discussed American policies for the Pakistan-Afghanistan
region, the ceasefire between Islamabad and the Taliban in Swat valley proved to
be a dramatic example of the Islamist extremist threat closing in on
the civilised world. Stepping out of his meetings with foreign
minister Pranab Mukherjee, Holbrooke told reporters, “What is
happening in Swat now is a common threat to the US, India and
Pakistan, who now face a common enemy.”

In a dramatic and more extreme replay of the 2006 peace deal between
the Pakistan government and the Taliban, President Asif Zardari signed
Sharia law for the Malakand division and Swat valley on Monday, a day
after the Pakistan Taliban, led by Baitullah Mehsud, announced a
10-day ceasefire.

India is looking at the deal with growing trepidation, as it brings
the Taliban much closer. Nobody in the Indian government would comment
on record, but privately, there is growing concern here, which was
discussed in detail with Holbrooke. But much more important, it shows
the Pakistan government submitting to the growing powers of the
Taliban.

The Pakistan government’s deal with the Tehrik Nifaz-i-Shariat
Muhammadi (TNSM) to promulgate Sharia may be replicated in other
divisions in the NWFP.

The distress about the deal in Swat also comes from the fact that
after Swat, it could well be Peshawar, and then it’s a leap to
Islamabad.

India believes Taliban needs to be squeezed in terms of funds, weapons
and legitimacy, but many also suspect that the Pakistan army continues
to be the chief patron of the Taliban, as it believes Taliban to be
essential to its policy of strategic depth in Afghanistan and bleeding
India to death.

Pakistan government reportedly gave in on the Sharia laws to stop
further violence in these areas which the army just could not stop.

The ceasefire with the Taliban, Indian sources believe, is not likely
to make the Taliban give up either its ideology, weapons or intent to
undermine the Pakistani state. While Islamabad has released many
arrested Taliban commanders in return for one Chinese engineer, there
is no talk about the Taliban disarming.

The peace deal, therefore has no other strategic objective, apart from
stopping the violence. But by giving in to the Taliban demand and
getting a limited concession for 10 days, Islamabad may only be
prolonging the inevitable.

Difference between the Gita and the Quran

This interesting note is a comment by little indian this this Link

The writer articulates the difference between the holy Gita and the unholy Quran quite well.

littleindian on December 1, 2008 at 22:17
Hi chris,
I followed the pingback to read your article. I wish to make a few points.

As you know in Mahabharata, at the start of the battle, Arjuna sees his step-brothers in the opposing army and questions why he had to fight.

Let us accept the war refered to is the historical event and not allegorical is some argues.

The Gita – is a narration of the alleged conversation between Krishna and Arjuna on the battle field following Arjuna’s refusal to fight.

Of the eighteen chapters of the Gita, it is only in two, the second and third, where Krishna instructs Arjuna of his duties as a warrior on a battlefield and why in certain situations war becomes necessary and the reasons why Arjuna had to fight that War. The rest of the text is Krishna revealing his true identity and discusses soul, religion, yoga, philosophy etc.

This was a conversation between two individuals about a specific task at hand. It does not advice battle against “non-believers”, idolators, or establishing a global hindu nation.

The text in Quran, gives a directive to fight a war against
1. obpression and injustice – I have no problems with that.
2. against non-believers who refuse to believe.

I have serious objections to that. It goes against my fundamental belief in equal human rights.

If, in this 21st century, ever a movement arises says the Gita (based on those two chapters of Gita) gives hindus the directive
1. to be intolerent of all other religions,
2. to wage wars to convert the entire world into hinduism 3. or to kill to wipe out a religion in entirely
- I will be one of the firsts to denounce it and burn those pages.

I expect all “moderate” muslims to do that.
I am fed up of hearing that those who kill in the name of Islam are not muslims.

Of course they are.
To me they are the honest followers of Islam – who are simply practicing what is written without denying their true directive.
I am unable to trust a “moderate muslim” for I will never know how fundamental are their unspoken beliefs.

RAW – Lashkar woman terrorists using Hindu names, plan to repeat Mumbai-like bomb blasts in major Indian cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Jaipur and Bengaluru

NSG women terror alert

RAW alert on Lashkar woman hit squad

By Pramod Kumar, New Delhi

Feb. 17: The Pakistan-based militant organisation Lashkar-e-Tayyaba, in association with the Taliban, is waiting to send 22 highly trained women militants, including five suicide bombers, into India. These women terrorists, between the ages of 18 years and 23 years, have been trained to carry out terror attacks like 26/11 in certain cities in India.

The RAW, in a report to the Centre, has said that these women terrorists plan to repeat Mumbai-like bomb blasts in major Indian cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Jaipur and Bengaluru. The RAW report adds that women terrorists have been trained at a terror camp nicknamed “Jangal-Mangal” located near Kotli, in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

Sources confirmed that initially only four or five LeT women terrorists would be sent to India. They have been specifically instructed to get jobs as helpers in schools and hospitals the moment they enter India. Later, their places of employment will become their targets, said a source. “They have been provided forged Indian identity cards bearing Hindu names to make it easier for them to get jobs in schools and hospitals,” said the official.

“These terrorist are likely to enter India via the Nepal or Bangladesh border. They have been given tough training, including rigorous physical training, handling of sophisticated weapons and how to position themselves in congested areas to cause the maximum damage,“ said the official. There are confirmed reports that these terrorists have completed their training and are now at undisclosed locations in Sialkot and Lahore in Pakistan, said the official. These women terrorists come from very poor backgrounds and the majority of them are orphans. “They have been provided maps of almost all important cities in India. Besides, they have been instructed to always keep on their persons certain Islamic literature related to iihad. They have been provided detailed information about Lashkar operatives (overground workers) operating in India so that they can contact them once they enter India,” said the official. End

2007 report

‘LeT training women militants’
6 Apr 2007, 0040 hrs IST, Pradeep Thakur, TNN

NEW DELHI: Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) has a full-fledged training camp for women militants situated 6 km from Muridke on GT Road between Lahore and
Rawalpindi, with infrastructure to provide rigorous training to cadres in guerrilla warfare, an intelligence report has said.

Giving details of the Lashkar’s women brigade, the report says these militants are imparted 21-day training in handling arms and ammunition, besides swimming and jehadi discourses.

The special course, called ‘Daura-e-Sofa,’ is given to women cadres drawn from madrassas in PoK and the Kashmir Valley. The trainee militants are housed in a double-storeyed building situated in the camp premises. The intelligence report says the LeT’s women-training camp is headed by a 45-year-old woman jehadi, Umi Hamad, a Pakistani national.

The presence of women militants in the LeT ranks was first detected late last year when a 20-year-old woman militant – Khalida Akhtar – was held in Srinagar. However, details of the location and infrastructure of the militant camp emerged from interrogation of other LeT militants who had surrendered before security forces in January-February this year.

Akhtar had told intelligence sleuths that Lashkar was raising a band of women militants of Kashmiri origin and providing them ideological and arms training in the camps situated in PoK. The emergence of women militants had created ripples in security forces and counter-intelligence sleuths had briefed authorities on the chances of these militants being used as honey traps to infiltrate the ranks of paramilitary forces deployed in Kashmir.

The claims made by counter-intelligence sleuths were based on facts that emerged from Akhtar’s interrogation. Her questioning revealed that one of her primary tasks was to trap army officers and jawans to monitor troops’ movements and operations.
