The Ugly Face Of Jihadi Sickularists

Sometimes the awakening is rude. Sometimes it’s quite violent. That’s the hard truth for hypocrites and liars who have defended wrong principles all their life.  In all the past years our Sickularists have defended Islamic terrorists, Muslim agitators and rioters with a gallery of reasons. You had the “root cause” theory for terrorism. Then you had the “victimhood” theory for rioters. Even when it came to freedom of speech or expression they defended the offences by the Muslims and defended their right not to be offended. In India, their “Sickularism” meant one should never offend Muslims or their religious beliefs or icons while they can liberally offend everyone else. Among the greatest battles over free speech was that between MF Hussain and others. Here’s the classic Sickularist’s argument from none other than the “Happy-tongue hypocrite” Shashi Tharoor and I quote from the post:

“It’s the third issue that is striking. The discussion moves to the M.F. Hussain paintings. Here’s where our happy-tongue minister reveals his true self. He argues strongly that it was Hussain’s freedom of expression for which he should not have faced a backlash. Well, obviously Hussain was so blissfully ignorant that his controversial paintings would cause friction or offend a whole community. It needed Mr.Happy-tongue to defend him. But that newspaper editor and the Danish cartoonist shouldn’t have exercised their free expression rights as they would have been aware of the consequences. And that’s not all. Tharoor goes on to state that Hussain paints these Hindu Gods in various forms. That Hussain had once painted Indira Gandhi as Durga Ma ! Tharoor equates painting Indira Gandhi as Durga Ma to nude paintings of Hindu Gods. Even a moron can see that the Indira Gandhi painting would be seen as a compliment rather than an offence. This is how he misleads international audiences with his happy-tongue glib talk”.

So you see, when Hussain paints nude pics of Hindu Gods he is using his freedom of expression which we should admire but when others use their freedom of expression they should be aware of the “consequences” and desist. Frankly, I don’t give a damn what Hussain paints or what cartoonists draw and they can paint, write or draw whatever they want. But it’s the hypocrisy of the Sickularists that has now been severely shattered by none other than the Islamists themselves. The ISIS warriors came along and our Sickularists are finding it hard to defend or explain their actions. It has put them in a hole that they dug for themselves because the ISIS carries out all its actions in the name of Islam. So our poor Sickularists aren’t able to say “that’s not Islam or they are not Muslims”. What to do! So some exemplary morons in our country started on a new venture. They started an effort to somehow relate ISIS to Hindu practices, entities or icons. They had to; otherwise the survival of their hypocrite-life was seriously threatened. First off, let’s look at an Intellectual Moron (IM) who is now a frequent panellist on NDTV. And that should tell you everything, doesn’t it? An IM-panellist on NDTV has to qualify as a scumbag hypocrite. So what’s he say? Here’s trash-can discourse specialist Sudheendra Kulkarni:

The IMs like Kulkarni are so dumb that they have become incapable of seeing who is really a victim of a crime. Kulkarni is so idiotic that he brands the beheading of James Foley, an American journalist, as “hate crime”. Such IMs don’t care to think much about events as they happen. Foley wasn’t executed because he was white or American or Christian. They may hate them but in Foley’s case the crime was a political act to send a political message to those who want to stop the ISIS from spreading their terror further. It doesn’t take Einstein to figure that. And then the IM goes on to insult the death of Foley by grandly stating that the crime was against Islam. Oops! The crime wasn’t against Foley, his family or his country but the victim here is the religion of the perpetrator. You have to wonder how LK Advani, BJP and then our media nurture such brainless idiots. Of course, Kulkarni is an IIT-graduate.

What can you say about Kavita Krishnan? First, you have to wonder how this brainless bimbo got planted in the media. The answer to that is not very hard. In accordance with the Commie policies of the Congress and its clones they created a practice through which they would “plant” panellists in the media. People like Krishnan and Kulkarni were born from that practice. Need more such examples? You have people like Tehseen Poonawalla who was the secret ace up the Congress sleeve. Tehseen represents everything intelligent about the Congress. Anyway, so this Kavita Krishnan was too dumbfounded to find any answers to the ISIS actions and brutality. So she equates ISIS to RSS. You can picture it clearly. Those RSS guys running around with knives, swords and guns killing Muslims, Christians, Jews, Parsis, Sikhs, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Buddhists, Animists, Scientologists! Any community left? What Hema Malini was to Bollywood movies, Kavita Krishnan is to hate-mongering and hypocrisy. She’s the Sickular “Dream Girl” who dreams all these sequences of RSS doing stuff like ISIS in her dreams. You could say I hold KK in extreme contempt but what happens when this bimbo can’t sell her stupidity to someone who “loves her and hates RSS”? Here’s what:

Stupidity born out of extreme hatred for Hindus and Hindu culture is hard to hide beyond a point. Like I said at the beginning, KK has fallen into the hole she dug herself. The best is yet to come. The permanent Hindu-hater, sponsored by Congress and CPM, who made her career out of lies, hate-mongering, fake affidavits, dining and wining with the money meant for victims of communal violence topped all of the previous morons. Teesta Setalvad should be in jail for her crimes and I estimate she will end up in one sooner or later. What do you know; she could well be the first Padma Shri in prison. And instead of merely her prison number ID, the warden may have to address her as “Padma Shri 420”. Here’s what Teesta came up with:

So Teesta, like the previous hate-mongering hypocrites, simply didn’t know how to defend the actions of ISIS. She comes up with a classic comparison to the Hindu deity Kaali who slays evil demons. The guy in the bottom left pic is, according to Teesta, Lord Krishna in the desert using his “Sudarshan chakra”. Naturally, the question many people were asking her is why she couldn’t draw a comparison with the Prophet himself? You see, that’s the problem. That it is okay to offend Hindus and their religion (even without knowing what the deities symbolise) and equate them to the ISIS terrorists when the mass crimes are by Islamists themselves. The best part was Teesta told the world that the image “was still to be worked upon” and was put up in haste:

Well scumbagini, maybe you should have taken some more time and worked it to perfection. Maybe you could have shown Lord Krishna landing in the Middle-east and slaughtering Jews, Yazidis and Non-Muslims. That would have been a thrill for you. No? I am sure there will be many FIRs against her although she deleted the tweet and the pic. That doesn’t matter. What does matter is that all these folks have nurtured a deep-rooted hatred for Hindus and Hindu culture. Our media gives them prominent space to rant against Hindus and their practices. Whether Teesta offends me or not is irrelevant but she did break a law. And it’s this selective demand for punishment that makes people like Rajdeep or Barkha criminal hypocrites.

Teesta apologised and withdrew her pic and message and Rajdeep tweeted that was enough to close the matter. Had the case been the reverse of a Hindu public figure or editor who offended Muslims with an article or statement you can rest assured it would be debated in the media for a week. His or her office would be destroyed by now and s/he would be attacked violently. From Azad Maidan to Saharanpur and Meerut these media and activist hypocrites have been covering up crimes of the Muslims. The ISIS dealt such a severe blow to them that they left them no place to hide. Even the Indonesian president had to come out strongly against the ISIS. He stated that the ISIS is an embarrassment to Muslims. One would think it’s much worse than mere embarrassment. The chant of “religion of peace” was shattered long back but the ISIS made it extremely difficult to defend that position. I think Tarek Fateh, regular writer and observer of Jihadi elements, described it all with a fascinating term:

Although Tarek’s response was to another person in a similar context of Islamic violence his term describes Sudheendra Kulkarni, Kavita Krishnan, Teesta Setalvad and their promoters like Barkha Dutt, Rajdeep Sardesai, Arnab Goswami & Co. That “Jihadi Botox” cannot hide their hatred and prejudices any longer. Their ugly faces have been shown up by the ISIS in the most devastating way.

 

Rooting For The Enemy - Part-2

First, here’s something to ponder: “Vir Sanghvi refers to the Congress as "we". He is not being disingenuous. Perhaps he should admit his preferences openly. It wouldn't be misconstrued”. And another one: “Barkha Dutt too has her political leanings. I have often jokingly taunted her as the "voice of the Hurriyat”. These are a few lines buried in history that should be recalled often and quite frequently. Why? Because it explains a lot of journalistic pursuits that are claimed under “independent and honest” as many do. Those lines aren’t mine. They come from a man who should know. That is Swapan Dasgupta writing about these characters from Radiagate. If one could go back to Kargil, Kandahar, Gujarat and the two subsequent general elections (and many others) it would explain a lot about the reporting of Barkha and Sanghvi. By now everyone knows they are practically Congress mouthpieces except they won’t be honest enough to admit it openly. It is not wrong to have political affiliations, after all journalists too are voters. But when it starts influencing your programmes and shows it should carry a disclaimer stating: “NDTV as a policy supports Congress”. 

So Kargil happened under the BJP/NDA govt, stands to reason why Rahul Gandhi feels his party obliged the nation by supporting the then govt on Kargil. Barkha Dutt wasn’t the only one to report about beheadings of Pak soldiers in Kargil. Someone else has written on it before her. So the so-called Kargil-heroine wasn’t the only reporting from Kargil. Shammy Baweja who was working with IndiaToday narrates the same incident in her book about Kargil. But before we get to Shammy let’s read the Nancy Drew, Enid Blyton type description by BD again:

“I had to look three times to make sure I was seeing right. Balanced on one knee, in a tiny alley behind the army’s administrative offices, I was peering through a hole in a corrugated tin sheet. At first glance, all I could see were some leaves. I looked harder and amidst all the green, there was a hint of black—it looked like a moustache. “Look again,” said the army colonel, in a tone that betrayed suppressed excitement. This time, I finally saw. It was a head, the disembodied face of a slain soldier nailed onto a tree. “The boys got it as a gift for the brigade,” said the colonel, softly, but proudly”.

She was on one knee in a tiny alley and peeping through a hole. That does sound very dramatic doesn’t it? Here’s what I call it: Absolute balderdash. If there indeed was a head pinned to a tree it doesn’t seem like a big secret that BD discovered all of a sudden. It seems like journos were being given a guided tour if you go by what Shammy Baweja (SB) writes (again from Kafila):

“We have their dead. And a head. The experiences of 18 Garhwal also show another side of the war. The frustration that has built up among our jawans and the thirst for revenge. Having captured Point 4700, not without significant casualties, their jawans went berserk. One of them took out his knife and slit the head of a Pakistani soldier in one stroke. The head was sent to the Brigade Headquarters at Drass and pinned to a tree trunk…. Maj Gen Puri came down from Mughalpura to see it. Other officers dropped in to Brigade Headquarters to take a look. So did some of the journalists who have been routinely visiting the Brigade Headquarters. It was there, pinned on the tree, for anyone who could bear to look at it. In fact, the reporters were shown the head with the warning they they won’t be able to sleep for the next three nights….”

SB’s story was published in 2000 and Barkha’s article in 2001. So even after SB published the story why was Barkha being so theatrical about it when many journos were allowed to see the head. I have only one explanation: Too much of “Alice in Wonderland”. Now, SB interestingly says the soldier slit the head of a soldier in one stroke. Amazing! From what I read, SB’s story doesn’t appear to be ‘first-hand’ but narrated by some soldiers. But she confirms she has seen it herself and was shown the head by army officers. If you read the excerpt from her book it doesn’t say she saw it as confidently as her tweet does. Maybe she would like to recheck whether she herself saw it or others saw it. And it’s even possible to believe BD picked up her story from SB’s version published earlier rather than her secretive ‘peeping-Tom’ account in 2001.

So when General V.P. Malik rejected Admiral Ramdas’ claim about beheadings why didn’t Barkha confirm the story instead of interrupting and distracting the discussion to arts and sports? I am fine with keeping discussions on a show focused on the chosen topic but surely such a serious issue can’t be brushed aside. So who do we trust Admiral Ramdas or Gen VP Malik? Who do Barkha and NDTV trust? For that we have to go back to a presser by Admiral Sureesh Mehta who again repeated the charge of a female reporter causing damage in Kargil. The reference was obviously to BD. Here are responses to that charge made by Admiral Mehta.

NDTV responds to a charge by Admiral Sureesh Mehta repeated during his presser after 26/11: In this context, there has also been an allegation that NDTV coverage during the Kargil conflict involved asking a Colonel to trigger a Bofors gun for the camera. NDTV wants to emphatically state that the allegation is a falsehood and no such incident ever occurred. It would be extraordinary to even presume that a senior army officer would commit such an act in a conflict situation at the behest of the media! There is an official acknowledgment of this motivated falsehood from those who supervised the 1999 conflict. NDTV has formally complained about and asked for an immediate retraction of comments that we believe amount to defamation.

BD‘s response to Admiral Mehta’s Kargil allegation was: “I would urge Admiral Mehta to read General V.P Malik's book on Kargil for further clarity. General Malik was the Army Chief during the operations and puts to rest any such controversy in his book. In a formal letter, NDTV has also asked for an immediate retraction from the Navy and officially complained that the comments amount to defamation”.

To my knowledge, there is no defamation case filed and no retraction by Admiral Mehta has been published so far. In which case we should rely on his story, right? NDTV says there is official acknowledgement from those who supervised the 1999 conflict and BD asks to refer to General VP Malik’s book. So when NDTV relies on the account of Gen Malik why shouldn’t we? If General Malik, who was the Army chief then, rejects the beheadings, we should take his word for it rather than Barkha’s or NDTV’s. In any case, BD was a rookie then and the people concerned in the Army and govt (BJP) should be questioned on why this rookie was allowed into a conflict zone in the first place.

Certain journalists, candle-light diners and arty-farty types from Bollywood seem hell-bent on muddying the waters in our relationship with a troubled and blood-thirsty enemy. This is not like boycotting French fries. The “useful idiots” in India who long for Pakistani artists or cricketers are no different from fringe elements or extremists who constantly create hurdles in dealing with an enemy. All this people-to-people nonsense can wait till Pakistan stabilises itself to a decent level of peace within. For that matter, even India isn’t at peace within. We have extremists in Kashmir, Maoists elsewhere so why spend so much time in building a bridge with a country that has sworn a thousand year jihad on us? Remember the post about Roman Agent? Seems there are many such agents in India who wish to keep Indians in constant conflict and division.

As for the beheading and the head on the tree during Kargil, the answer is neither difficult nor impossible. The only person, other than BD, to have mentioned it is SB. A third journalist, Sankarshan Thakur, has reported butchery and ill-treatment of Pak captives but doesn’t mention any head pinned to a tree. The answers are not hard to get. SB clearly mentions a Major General Puri who saw it. All that the govt, if it is honest, is question Maj Gen Puri and established the truth. A lot happens during a war and the truth about wars never really comes out. The recent beheadings of Indian soldiers hasn’t happened during war time. If a Pakistan soldier was beheaded or butchered that country would have screamed all the way to the UN. There is no such record or report of them complaining. Only those amongst us who root for the enemy can hand them stories to defend their butchery. Unless there is confirmation from a reliable Army source, like Maj Gen Puri himself, both Shammy’s and Barkha’s stories have to be dismissed as unreliable. They have written it and the onus is on them to prove their story is factual.

Rooting For The Enemy - Part-1

On the morning of September 12, 2001 the prominent French newspaper Le Monde headlined “We are all Americans”. This was to show solidarity, share the grief and anger over the 9/11 attacks on the US. Two years later when George Bush decided to attack Iraq, the French strongly opposed the US and weren’t part of the coalition that launched a war on Iraq. Protesting the French, two Republican Representatives ordered “French fries” in the canteens at Capitol Hill be renamed as “Freedom fries” (see pic of the menu). Soon the term “Freedom fries” became pop culture and a symbol of boycott of French products. That was jingoism at its best. By 2006 the stupidity was reversed and Americans were back to “French fries”. But the US and France have a long history of friendship. The French fought on the side of Americans for their independence from the British. It was the French who gave America the ‘Statue of Liberty’, which stands as a symbol of freedom. The statue holds a tablet in one hand with the date of American independence, July 4, 1776, inscribed on it. Friends often have minor tiffs but good friendships aren’t broken. Friends don’t go to war or attack each other.

When bimbos from Bollywood lament cancellation of shows of Pakistanis over the latest beheadings they reflect poor understanding of friendships. Blunt Truth: We DO NOT have a history of friendship with Pakistan. Period! NDTV reports Javed Akhtar (who else?) and Prasoon Joshi lamenting the situation about arts suffering. They don’t understand India, they don’t understand Pakistan and most of all they don’t understand friendship. India and Pakistan share a history but have never shared friendship and I dare say, they never will. Pakistan was created on the concept and in the belief that Muslims can’t live a just life with Hindus. Many of their leaders have vowed a 1000-year Jihad on India. So, for many “useful idiots” who keep thinking arts and sports should be kept out of the equation one can only imagine these idiots can’t see what ordinary Indians can see. Unfortunately, these useful idiots also happen to be prominent public celebrities. Seriously, what kind of morons worry about arts and sports when their soldiers are being beheaded? Only some in Bollywood and some in our MSM!

When your team plays you scream yourself hoarse supporting them, cheering them even against friendly opponents. A certain level of jingoism is not bad when it comes to backing your troops confronting an opponent who has sworn to treat your country as a ‘permanent’ enemy. In such a case anyone who professes deep yearning for Pakistani artists, their cuisine and all kinds of nonsense is bound to be seen as an oddball with suspicion. Why do we need Pakistani artists or anything from that country at all? We are much richer in every aspect of culture, creativity and productivity whereas Pakistan has been on a downward spiral to nowhere since it was born. Those who keep ranting about arts, sporting ties, trade ties, people to people hugs and kisses are almost a fifth column for the enemy. In the previous post I mentioned Shahrukh Khan flying the flag upside down. It’s no coincidence. This pic from a BBC report of 2009 (Thanks to @Ecophilo) showing a Muslim rally to protest torture of terror suspects tells a story. Sure, by all means protest, scream as hard as you want but why fly the national flag upside down? France may not have supported the US in the Iraq war but can you imagine France ever supporting a war against the Americans? If another country were to wage war against India which side do you think Pakistan will be on? Sorry! No prizes for guessing right.

Considering we may have many enemies within the country to first deal with, Pakistan should hardly be a priority for us. I repeat what I have said many times before; we need not seek war with Pakistan but at the same time we need not foolishly seek peace and friendship with them. They best belong in a cold storage till they make genuine efforts to stop terrorism, punish terrorists and set their house in order first. If Javed Akhtar and Prasoon Joshi miss Pakistani artists so much they are welcome to go to Pakistan and make their films. These “useful idiots” only help to derail our army and our national pride. We first need to deal with the ones who fly our flags upside down and wage war against India from within. Bollywood bimbos aren’t the only ones who selfishly make strange statements. Our MSM can beat them at that game any day.

Here’s a tweet from Barkha Dutt. (Who else would this come from, eh?) To a rhetorical tweet by Shammy Baweja (Harinder), a journalist with the IndiaToday group, she responds, expectedly, with a nonsensical estimate about communal riots before war. A very insightful and observant Tweeter (@BhaskarChat) drew an “experience” from this tweet of hers. He mentioned that when India stacked up its army on the border after the December 2001 attack on Parliament it resulted in some “anti-India” elements igniting the incident at Godhra in February 2002. This resulted in the burning of a train and 59 passengers and then led to a backlash leading to communal riots. Is that what Barkha predicts? And what is all this hate about? Most of it is being fuelled by idiotic statements and actions by the media. What kind of people hold “Candle Light” debates immediately after news of the recent beheadings? Yeah, you got that right: only people from MSM and Bollywood. Who’s moderating the debate? A minister from the UPA govt which is struggling to handle the situation! And the lady has also handed ammunition to the Pakis to deny/defend the beheadings. It’s from a story that now needs a thorough investigation. I would even demand a military inquiry or an SIT.

One of Barkha’s favourite characters is Alice. Yep, that’s Alice from “Alice in wonderland” the famous fairy tale and one of great literary imagination. She often draws analogies to current situations and affairs from Alice. Barkha’s writings too are sprinkled with an abundance of literary flair and imagination. On January 17, Zafar Hilaly, a former Pak diplomat, held up a newspaper on Headlines Today and quoted an article by Barkha Dutt where she had mentioned Indian Army had beheaded a Pak soldier during the Kargil war. Now, this Hilaly has been on many TV channels for a week over the Pak beheading incident but it’s only on January 17 he claimed Indians too had beheaded Pak soldiers in the past. Where did he get his hint and inspiration from? Let me just reproduce this edited excerpt from Kafila (This is about BD’s program “Indo-Pak Tipping Point” on January 15 on NDTV)

Around 21:15 into the programme, Admiral Ramdas says, “Beheading of Troops has been going on from both sides has been for some time, I mean there is evidence of this…”

Barkha Dutt, eager to change the subject, nervously interjects and says ‘I want you to comment, Sir, on Sporting and Cultural ties, because that is what has been hit today…’.  

Gen. V.P. Malik says (around 24:40) “…And I don’t agree with Admiral (Ram) Das that both sides have been doing this, I would like to see anybody give me one instance where this kind of inhuman act has been done by the Indian army… I know that with great respect, we not only buried their bodies with great respect… we returned any body that they asked for.”

Barkha Dutt knows what Admiral Ramdas was talking about… she has written about it (the decapitation of Pakistani soldiers by the Indian army during the Kargil conflict in the summer of 1999) herself in Himal magazine (June, 2001).

I had to look three times to make sure I was seeing right. Balanced on one knee, in a tiny alley behind the army’s administrative offices, I was peering through a hole in a corrugated tin sheet. At first glance, all I could see were some leaves. I looked harder and amidst all the green, there was a hint of black—it looked like a moustache. “Look again,” said the army colonel, in a tone that betrayed suppressed excitement. This time, I finally saw. It was a head, the disembodied face of a slain soldier nailed onto a tree. “The boys got it as a gift for the brigade,” said the colonel, softly, but proudly.

So that is an instance where ‘this kind of inhuman act’ did happen. So why did she not say so to Gen. Malik. She is not ‘anybody’, she was there, and this is an issue that is being discussed on a show that she is anchoring. How long can it be before she gets called out for the gross irresponsibility of her reticence on this very crucial matter. Was she lying in 2001, or, is she concealing the truth now?

So when Admiral Ramdas brought up the issue what did Barkha try to do? She tried to distract him with the same Sports and Bollywood stuff that Javed Akhtar and Prasoon Joshi wail about. As if that’s the biggest concern staring at us right now. So, did Barkha write a first-hand account of what she really saw? Is she telling the truth? Should we trust Admiral Ramdas or General Malik? More importantly, who do Barkha and NDTV trust? We’ll seek some answers in part-2.

Await Part-2.
