The spiritual roads to God or the “Power”
that runs the universe are many. This is what Hindus believe and are taught.
Hindus are also taught that all religions are the same. Many Hindus still chant
this nonsense despite an abundance of evidence of it not being true. If all
religions are the same, then followers of all religions must believe that. They
don’t! The spirit of tolerance should be extended only when there is mutual
respect between all religions. The time for mouthing such invalid, false
philosophies like “all religions are the
same” must be ended by Hindus.
There is a Mohammad Ali Road in Mumbai. It’s famous for its eateries and a
delight for gluttony fans. There is one for him in Delhi too. During Eid this
road in Mumbai also becomes an open Masjid where Muslims offer mass Namaz on the
streets. It’s a phenomenon over the last two decades. Along with MK Gandhi he
led the Khilafat movement in India. There are lots of things written about him
but here is something he said
about Gandhiji that you can ponder over: "However
pure Gandhi's character may be, he must appear to me from the point of view of
religion inferior to any Mussalman, even though he be without character. He
repeated it later, saying, 'Yes, according to my religion and creed, I hold an
adulterous and a fallen Muslim to be better than a Mr. Gandhi."
Just imagine if a Hindu leader had said this about a Muslim leader. I can imagine
your imagination running riot. And this was said about Gandhi who was far more
sympathetic to Muslims than to Hindus.
The Sickulars are still reeling under
the aftermath of the CharlieHebdo
killings. They are at pains to find excuses to justify the actions of
terrorists. From NDTV to The Hindu to a whole lot of Commie media the latest
one to join the ranks is Outlook.
Here’s an excerpt:
“While I am all for
free speech and all for satire, it must be said that Charlie Hebdo had it
coming. That sounds crude and cruel, but Muslims would treat the cartoons as
crude and deliberately provocative. And it won’t cut much ice with them if you
tell them that the cartoons on the Pope were equally bad. You can lampoon Islam
and its followers, as you can lampoon any other religion. You can even make fun
of the Caliphs (arguably) but don’t touch the Prophet. Muhammad is no go area.
His name is prefaced with ‘Prophet’ or with the appellation “peace be upon him”
by his billion followers. You can’t paint him, sculpt him, or build a musical
around him a la ‘Jesus Christ—Superstar.’ All that these caricaturists and
satirists have to do is to leave one man alone. Not too much of a price to pay
for peace, is it?”
Fantastic, isn’t it? It is one thing to
argue that the Prophet is a “no go area”
but a totally different thing to reiterate “Charlie Hebdo had it coming”. There are many ways to protest
strongly but killing isn’t one of them. Had it coming, he says! There are other
“no go areas” too and we will get into it shortly. All these scumbags who argue
that CharlieHebdo had it coming are at a loss to answer a simple question. 59
people were roasted alive in a coach on a train in Gujarat in 2002. Did these
people draw any cartoons? Did they even shout any anti-Muslim or anti-Islam
slogans? But when the Hindus retaliated violently these very people claimed genocide,
pogrom, state-sponsored violence etc. Seriously, did they expect that Hindus
should simply continue to tolerate such unprovoked and unwarranted attacks?
Since 2002 Gujarat has seen relative peace where communal relations are
concerned. There have been stray incidents here and there but no major communal
riots.
The man who wrote the Outlook article
(Keki Daruwalla – is not a regular journo, but another Arundhati Roy types that
infest Outlook) argues that not drawing
the cartoons is a small price to pay for peace. 2002 happened before all
these cartoons. And is the writer suggesting that prior to these cartoons the
Islamists were peaceful and there was no terrorism? Did 9/11 happen because of
cartoons? Did 26/11 happen because of cartoons? Did Madrid or London
underground happen due to cartoons? Saif
Rahman is an ex-Muslim of Pakistani origin in the UK. Here’s what he
tweeted January 26:
It is an unfortunate but inevitable
truth – Tolerance of intolerance doesn’t
buy peace. It never has. Increasingly, we have only seen that retaliation
(and often disproportionate retaliation) stands a better chance of buying
peace. Ask the Japanese. Rahman has also written a book “The Islamist Delusion”. Do read the summary on the page I
have linked. Rahman has drawn no cartoons of the Prophet but merely written a
book criticising the practices of Muslims. He claims to have received 139
death-threats so far. What he summarises in his tweet as the 10 Islamist
commandments is for our Sickulars to think about. Playing victim will not help
anymore. What should now be clear is that after the Paris incident there are
many who are making this absolutely clear to the extremists.
Bobby
Jindal, the governor in an American
state, was a darling for our media for quite a while as they claimed he was an
Indian-American. He disappointed them recently by stating that he is only “American”
and that his forefathers came to America to be Americans and not
Indian-Americans. More stunningly, Jindal became the first politician to boldly
state what many politicians were unwilling to say. Excerpts:
"Let's be
honest here. Islam has a problem… Muslim leaders need to condemn anyone who
commits these acts of violence and clearly state that these people are evil and
are enemies of Islam. It's not enough to simply condemn violence, they must
stand up and loudly proclaim that these people are not martyrs who will receive
a reward in the afterlife, and rather they are murderers who are going to hell.
If they refuse to do that, then they're part of the problem. There is no middle
ground here”.
Jindal went on to add in his speech in the UK that some
countries have allowed Muslims to establish autonomous neighbourhoods in cities
where they govern by a harsh version of Islamic law. Yes indeed, UK is facing
this problem and so are many other non-Islamic countries in the world. There
are over 700 no go zones
created by Muslims in France and though it is not authorised in any form, the
police and other services dread to go to these zones. Norway has expelled over 5000 foreigners, mostly Muslims, as
action for reducing crime in the country. In a rare departure, British PM David Cameron has finally issued
a warning to mosques in Britain to rein in extremists:
Belgians in the Congo. France invaded
Algeria for no genuine reason except greed and now Algerians are in large
number in France. The Dutch were in South Africa and some other places to
subdue the original inhabitants. The Portuguese were in Bombay, Goa and Diu.
And there is hardly a country left that Britain had not invaded and colonised.
It is very tempting to say “they had it
coming”. But it’s not revenge that the Islamists are seeking. If that was
the case they could have declared formal wars. But it is intolerance of the
culture and systems of the host country while enjoying all its privileges that
is causing the problems. This is true in India too. “No go area” said that dumb
Outlook writer and that avoiding cartoons will buy peace. I have written before
that there are many towns in India that are completely Islamised and are
somewhat of a no go zone for non-Muslims. This has happened even in places
considered particularly holy pilgrimage locations by Hindus. It is hard to
believe this has happened in Rameshwaram:
It is understandable if one makes the
mistake of thinking these no go zones are stray cases across the world,
although increasingly common. It would help to pause for a minute and think
that an entire community was thrown out Kashmir which is now a no go zone for
India’s non-Muslims. Can any no go zone be worse than that? Had the authorities
acted then or even a few months later the KPs could have returned to Kashmir.
They are never going to return – no go
zones are forever. No politician is going to be courageous enough to alter
the situation. The challenge is to avert creating some more and for that
unlimited tolerance has to disappear.
To be concluded…
