The Madrassa Angels - 3

Parts 1 & 2 at these links: Part-1, Part-2.

Fridays have come to be known for two things in India – Movie releases and post-Namaz violence. One has to wonder what triggers this violence. Stone-pelting after the Friday Namaz in Kashmir had become a regular feature. This is on since the mid-1990s across India. There has to be some “Chemical problem”. There is violence in some part of the country, some small or big town every Friday. Much of this violence is unprovoked and some in protest of something or the other. A handful of people don’t riot but when it becomes a mob, rioting is easier which the Friday gathering provides for. Surely, all of this violence cannot be spontaneous and has to have a mastermind behind it. Some history of such violence is consistent with the fear that public Namaz drives at some places:

There were protests over the death of Tabrez Ansari in many parts of India. From Rajasthan to UP to Jharkhand and Gujarat. The Surat protests, despite section 144 being imposed, that turned violent and in which cops were attacked happened on – you guessed it, Friday:

Some 40 rioters have been arrested, including a Congress councilor. Some years later there will be some survey or statistics from the NCRB (National Crime Records Bureau). There will be breast-beating and whining from the HR organisations and Muslim leaders on the high percentage of Muslims in jails. It cannot be that cops and govts simply like to arrest Muslims. On the contrary, many Muslim rioters and suspects are never arrested by cops out of fear of a backlash from the community and political leaders. Among prominent Muslims with multiple FIRs against them are the Imam Bhukari and Asad Owaisi. The statistics on Muslims in jails should serve as a warning to ModiSarkar that reform is not needed in Madrassas but their mosques and the shutting down of Madrassas or turning them into regular course schools like a CBSE or State Board one:

The above data is in percentages and for the year 2015. Govt departments are not very quick to make current statistics available. Another site using the same 2015 stats reports figures to indicate Hindus are least likely to be convicts or undertrials. If you scan though all the stats, you are likely to conclude that the most law-fearing and law-abiding citizens in India are Hindus. Why does so much mob violence arise from one community? Firstly, a lot of things – from small to big, offends Muslims. The defence of their Faith at any cost is the singular goal of the “Universal Brotherhood” of Muslims. Nationalism and patriotism are not ingredients in such a discourse as this Tamil Mullah teaches his herd:

The Quran, Hadith or Sharia don’t mention anything about nationalism or patriotism he tells his flock. He adds that Islam does not support it. The content of the video is actually worse than what is reproduced as quotes here but I didn’t post the video as it is in Tamil and not many may be able to follow. But those who wish to watch the video can look up the tweets and watch it. What is it that is differently taught in Madrassas? The same stuff. It is Islam, Universal Brotherhood, Borderless-nationality and so on. Which idiot on earth wants to search for ideas of “nationality” and “patriotism” in religious books? That itself is utter moronery. Nationality, geographic borders, system of governance are all designed and implemented by humans. But then, that is exactly what these Muslim preachers are against. And not so unpredictably, when a Muslim woman from Ahmedabad goes to London for the Cricket World Cup, she wants Pakistan to win and India to lose. There ends the stupid argument (Video 1.04 mins):

She is just one sample. There might be many aren’t as vocal in India now about their Paki-loyalties, especially not in Gujarat. They condemn all man-made systems of social and economic life and want only what Islam and its books recommend. That idea is incompatible with our democracy and any school teaching it should not exist. This does not limit itself to the lower strata of Muslims, it can be found in the well-educated and highly positioned ones as Hamid Ansari proves:

It doesn’t occur to the Mullahs of ModiSarkar that the conduct of these Muslims is NOT driven by Madrassas. What exactly is a Madrassa? It is surely not a unit of bricks, walls, ceilings, floors and some furniture. The same books that drive Hamid Ansari to his anti-national conduct bordering on treachery are also used at these Madrassas. It is impossible to implement courses of Math and Science in a system that teaches such vile stuff of nationality and patriotism not being elements of Islam. Former minister Arif Mohammad Khan slammed the usual whining Rudaali Arfa Khanum on the books the Deobandi schools use to indoctrinate their kids (video 1.59 mins):

 

Arif Mohd says in Islam “Jihad is a defensive” act only when you are attacked. The book that he displays out doesn’t say Jihad is a “defensive tool”. He clearly points out that the Deobandi syllabus ordains waging Jihad against non-believers and those who don’t accept Sharia. PM Narendra Modi, what stupid reforms you and your deceptive minister Mukhtar Abbas are talking about when these Madrassas teach waging war against Hindus and other non-Muslims in India? You don’t have any explanation or how you are going to stop such books and courses. They are anti-Constitutional. Putting Lipstick on Madrassas is NEVER going to reform them or inculcate new social values among their students. This farce is worse, when Naqvi grandly claims there were no major communal riots under NDA. Facts and stats do not corroborate his nonsensical claims:

Few weeks ago, a Muslim woman and her family members assaulted a traffic cop over some frivolous argument. Where does one get the marbles to assault a man in uniform? And this is not a stray incident. There are many such incidents over the years. A Kidnap-accused Imran’s family brings a mob and assaults police officers at a PS in Guna, MP. At Prayagraj, a police team was pelted with stones and fired upon when they went to arrest some cattle-rustlers (image on the left). During the recent riots over Tabrez (He’s the replacement for the earlier “Beef” narrative) there were quite a few Muslim youth threatening violence in videos, abusing Hindus with the choicest of “Maa-Behen” expletives. All this is not happening under some Congress govt. This is happening under ModiSarkar. And don’t tell me law and order is merely a State issue. The words flowing from “Sultan of Selective Pain” Modi does impact, influence and embolden these louts in their violence and their abusive videos.

There is something else that should strike us. Wahhabism is the rawest form of Islam as conceived. The Saudis and other followers of Wahhabism consider it the “purest” form of Islam along with the strictest implementation of Sharia. Pakistan, an Islamic State, has been facing problems with its 35000 Madrassas; many of them funded by the Saudis. They too are trying to “reform” Madrassas and failing. It is simply important to understand that Madrassas CANNOT be changed, cannot be reformed. They simply have to be “changed to” something else. The only question in these principles of “Change” is how. Here is an interesting article from the Haaretz on the Saudi sneak visits, investments and influence in Indian Madrassas (these are some select excerpts):

Imagine, the Saudis have poured over $2 billion dollars to influence and radicalize the Madrassas. And “Betcha-by-golly-wow” Modi and his sidekick Naqvi are going to reform them with INR 4700 crores (and some more State funds)? And that 4700 includes financial outlays for all minorities and things other than Madrassas also. That’s like throwing kitchen knives at the sky to destroy 10 squadrons of Rafale fighters bombing us. It’s simply laughable and I wonder who ModiSarkar is trying to hoodwink with all this illogical waste. On the other hand, one must understand that international awards are not easy but “managed” diplomatically. On his very first visit to Saudi Arabia as PM in April 2016, Modi was conferred with their highest award:

Why this award? Had he done something for them? Not keen on spinning conspiracy theories but the question must be asked. Did Modi allow Saudi influence in Madrassas to continue? The 25000 Wahhabis visited India in 2011-13. The Congis are known to be very friendly with Islamic regimes (they even avoid Israel like a plague). Is there some deal by the Saudis with Modi to “slow-down” on the Gandhis and Congis over their legal cases? Is that why cases against the Gandhis, Vadras, PCs etc are dragging on for no particular reason? I cannot figure out why a person with a strong anti-Muslim image in India and many parts of the world be given this award by an extremely brutal Islamic regime.

Fed up with the mass-debauchery at Sodom, God sent two angels to reform them or to destroy the town and wanted a kind, God-fearing man named “Lot” to leave the town before its destruction. The good Lot sheltered the angels. The mob surrounded his house and wanted to rape the angels too. The supposedly kind man, Lot, gave his two daughters to the mob to gang-rape and torture. Violent mobs don’t have any respect for even God’s angels. So, politicians would be sensible enough not to play angels.

Angels might wear lipstick too but there is no way you can reform Madrassas without removing the violence-preaching, hate-preaching books from their premises. A complete BAN on all such books is the first step. After all, before we teach our children Math, Science or religious scripts, we do teach them good values and good behaviour with others. No regular school teaches children to wage Jihad or hate others. Math and Science doesn’t come to those who are taught to only rote-learn by rocking back and forth on the floor.
