In a sign of growing Islamic fundamentalism in Kerala, Muslim fanatics in Kerala on Sunday chopped off the right hand of a college lecturer, accusing him of setting a question paper with a derogatory reference to the Prophet.
In this horrific instance of Talibanism, Lecturer T J Joseph who was returning home from church with his mother and sister in Muvattupuzha in Ernakulam district, was accosted by the attackers. The family had just got into their car when a van pulled up in front. Around eight people armed with swords and knives emerged and pulled out Joseph after smashing the windscreen. They then chopped off his right hand and stabbed him in the left thigh,” said Joseph’s sister, Mary Stella, a nun. “When we tried to prevent them, they attacked me and and our mother before exploding bombs and fleeing.”
A police team recovered the severed hand from the compound of a house about 200m away. The 52-year-old lecturer was rushed to a private hospital where his condition was serious. Police recovered the van in which the fanatics reached the scene. Two men, said to be activists of the Popular Front, a new incarnation of the hardline National Democratic Front, have also been taken into custody. Special police squads are searching sensitive areas in and around the town.
“Personnel from this district and neighbouring places are working as a team and we’ll nab the assailants soon,” said IG B Sandhya. In March this year, Islamic outfits had carried out protests against Joseph, who was a lecturer in the church-run Newman college in Thodupuzha in Idukki district over a portion in the Malayalam question paper for an internal examination for BCom students. They claimed that the question paper insulted the Prophet. The college later suspended Joseph who had set the questions and a criminal case was registered against him. The case is pending trial.
Reacting to the incident, State home minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan told reporters in New Delhi that the police would probe if any communal or terrorist outfit was involved. The BJP alleged that the home department could not evade responsibility for the growth of terror outfits in Kerala. “This is a direct consequence of the soft attitude adopted by the Left and Congress towards terrorist outfits,” said BJP state chief V Muraleedharan.

Islamic Terrorism in India 
Dr. O. P. Sudrania said
This menace will increase as the vote politics gain momentum in India. Kerala is a state where the Islamic fundamentalism is on rise. I do not see any remedy at present especially in India.
God bless

India is the sole place on the globe where Muslims enjoy maximum freedom. They can even enjoy the position of the president here. Enjoying the resources and the democracy in this country none should be allowed to fight against the sovereignty of this nation. There are historical evidences that many of the Hindu holy places were destroyed during Islamic invasions. What if the majority of the Hindu community demand demolition of the structures built by destructing temples? Will these extremist groups justify it as a ‘Holy War’?
None other than the government should be blamed for this. Where is all this money coming from? What is actually behind the unprecedented shoot in land prices in Kerala? Who are buying land and where does the money come from?
Why the police has not been able to nab the extremists?
Why the police can’t arrest ‘some’ even after there has been arrest warrants?
This nation has a history that dates back older than all known civilizations in the world. Why everything related to Hinduism and it teachings are inferior? Are Hindus rotten people who have no rights?
Left or right, all political alliances in Kerala has been pampering such extremists groups. It does not requires a Cambridge doctoral degree to understand that Democracy in India is nothing but a game of ‘Pressure Groups’. These extremist minorities are well organized and they always bargain in terms of votes.
Last question- why can’t there be a common civil code for all Indians?
