"Planned settlement of Non-state residents In Kashmir” : Seminar By Hurriyat G| An Overview

Proceedings Of One Day Seminar Organised By Hurriyat (G)

Entitled

Planned settlement of Non-state residents In Kashmir”

The proceedings of the seminar were managed by Mr. Ayaz Akbar (spokesperson, Hurriyat G). There were 9 speakers which include people from Civil Society, members of Hurriyat G and famous columnists of the valley.

The speakers deliberated upon various aspects

Jenab Ghulam Nabi Sumji (General Secretary Hurriyat G):

Started with a few verses from Holy Quran. He talked about various strategies adopted by imperialists cultural aggression, ethical and mor facets pertaining to the settlement of non-Kashmiris in Jammu and Kashmir by the puppet administration and the ramifications which might arise therein. Here is the crux of what each speaker said about the issue:wherever people resist sinister designs. He talked about Short Term Policies and the Long Term Policies. The short term policies include harassments, arrests, injuries, killings, custodial disappearances, rapes. Long term policies include; bankruptcy, change of demography by settling non-state actors like the way it has been done by Israeli’s in Holy Land-Palestine. He suggested that people should contribute towards the cause of free Kashmir on an individual level rather than putting the entire load on Qaid-i-Inquilab Jenab Syed Ali Shah Geelani Sb. Though, he maintained that Geelnai Sb is our torch-bearer.

Jenab Abdul Majid Zargar: Zargar Sahab is a famous columnist who writes for daily Greater Kashmir and is a Chartered Accountant. Mr. Zargar pressed for understanding the context of the problem that was the topic of the seminar. He talked about various types of occupation carried out by imperialist regimes

which include Military Occupation, Political Occupation, Economic Occupation and Cultural Occupation. Military occupation involves muzzling every voice which is raised against the corridors of power by use of brute armed force. The political occupation aims to make leaders out of the suppressed lot so as to gain insights of resistance. Economic occupation involves gaining control over the resource base of that particular region like what India is doing with our Hyro-power, forests, etc. The theme of the seminar henceforth comes under political occupation wherein the puppet administration wants to settle outsiders in K&K so as to change the Muslim dominant demography to a non-Muslim state and then finally implementing UN resolutions which will go in favour of India. He discussed about past attempts m

ade by the central government at Delhi like Women’s Property Bill, Amarnath Land Row, Dogra Certificate, etc. He also informed audience about a place in Jammu called Qasimnagar where thousands of non-state slum dwellers reside without belonging to the state.

Jenab Z G Mohammad: is a famous columnist who writes for daily Greater Kashmir. He informed audience that the state subject law was passed by Pandits in 1929 to prevent people from other states to settle in J&K fearing economic losses like job opportunities. He added another

term i-e; Mental Occupation and pressed on how to liberate Kashmiris of this menace. He pressed for unanimity of thought between various parties over here fighting to end Indian occupation in J&K. He also talked about Resettlement Bill which was passed twice in the state assembly and the causes that lead to the bill being declared Null and Void after 20 years. He suggested that we should work as one nation and put pressure on India at various forums/fora so that our demand of free J&K is attained.

Jenab Mohd Shafi Reshi Sahab deliberated extensively on the issue. He stated that by doing this it is getting easier for India to proliferate roots in J&K with lesser investment while achieving signification gains including demographic and cultural change. he informed the audience that it all began in April this year and kudos to Rising Kashmir for highlighting the issue. The government had proposed to build and/or develop infrastructure of slums in and around Jammu. He said that we should be determining to crack the sinister designs of India besides sensitizing the masses so that the bill is not passed in the state assembly.

Dr. Javid Iqbal: is a pediatrician and writes for daily Greater Kashmir. He informed audience about the Rajiv Awas Yojna for development and settlement of slum dwellers at places where ever they exist. He said that two colonies in the outskirts of Jammu have come up in the recent times. One colony is called Maratha Nagar and the other is settled around BC road. He informed audience that there is no need to pass the bill as Schedule 6, 8, 9, 10 of the constitution of J&K nicely deals with the issue. As per the census of India the number of slum dwellers has increased from 395000(2001) to 494180(2011), an increase of 98900 all this being done under a well thought about plan of RSS and its allies. He also talked about how NHPC is bartering hydro-power resources of J&K and how the royalty which was fixed at 50% has gone down to 12.5%.

Jenab Mohd Rafiq Ganie: started his speech by reciting Surah Maidah Verse 45. He gave historical insights into the Kashmir conflict right from 1920s and what tactics are being employed by Indian to weaken the freedom resolve among Kashmiris. He talked about the lakhs of people killed in Jammu in 1947 wherein the Muslim-dominant division of the state was converted to Muslim-minority division.

Jenab Ashraf Ashai: is a retired Engineer. He talked about the RRS ideology and its ramification on Kashmir, He talked about the ‘state within state’ concept of panun kashmir. He also talked about the policy adopted by Delhi and NHPC to rob the people of J&K of economic benefits of hydro-power. He also discussed about the policy which is being adopted by Israel in Palestine and how it changes the demography of Palestine. He said India is doing the same stuff in J&K.

Prof. Shiekh Showkat: Teaches at department of Law, University of Kashmir. He dealt with the problem of settlement of non-state persons very intelligently by giving in various inputs. He also suggested that our freedom struggle should have ‘social agenda’. He informed social stigma is attached to various jobs and that is why non-state actors dominate overhere in evert sector from barbers to masons and carpenters. He also talked about the causes of decline in Sex ratio and held Census of India responsible for it by pointing out vital discrepancies in the census. He said that non-local population is also counted along with the locals and because non-locals mostly comprise of males the sex ratio is bound to fall.

Qaid-i-Inquilab Jenab Syed Ali Shah Geelani Sahab: dealt strongly with the issue in light of Quran and hadith. He said that how can the conscience of certain people allow them to forget 6 lakh martyrs. He said that India is doing everything it can to prove its legitimacy but by the grace of Almighty we will not allow that to happen. He asked people to establish Baitul Maals and Darsgahs. He said that settling non-state people is the handiwork of RSS and Indian Intel agencies to weaken our just and noble cause of freedom. He also said that religious clerics should inform people about the consequences of the same. He said only Quran and Sunnah can help us in better understanding Islam in its true perspective and throwing imperialist India out of our lands.

He said media should sensitize people about the agenda behind the settlement of slum dwellers over here. He said that a proper Islamic dress code should be followed by our sisters and daughters to prevent immorality in the society. He told about the cultural aggression being promoted in Universities, educational institutes, mobile phone companies and devised people to keep vigil on kith and kin. He informed audience that from 5 Sept, he has not been allowed to meet anyone or move out of home by the puppet Indian police. He also said that Hurr G activists are arrested and tortured in various camps and jails to break the resolve of freedom. Lastly he ended the talk by saying that Quran and Hadith are the way for our prosperity and liberation from Indian occupation.

Appoint Desmond Tutu A UN Arbiter To Resolve Kashmir, Says American Council

A landmark idea has been floated in Washington and New York to tackle one of the oldest items on the UNSC agenda

An elite group of Kashmiri Americans has proposed to UN secretary general Mr. Ban Ki-Moon to appoint rights activist Bishop Desmond Tutu as head of a UN effort to stabilize Kashmir, where 2,700 unmarked graves were discovered last month.

Warning that Indian occupation soldiers are responsible for a “semi-genocidal campaign” in the disputed territory, the Kashmiri American Council [KAC] used the occasion of the raising of Libya’s new flag at the UN to paint a dark picture behind India’s media blackout on Kashmir.

KAC’s statement is linked to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon’s remarks during The Otto L. Walter annual lecture at the New York Law School. In the lecture, Mr. Ki-Moon appeared to be reviving a key function of the UN: to support the will of the people.

KAC is an American group lobbying for peace by resolving one of the oldest international disputes on the agenda of UN Security Council. India first involved the UN in the dispute and its first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, pledged on 2 November 1948 to allow Kashmiris the right to decide their future but later reneged and forcibly annexed the region.

Mr. Ki-Moon said that support for the Libyan people has revived UN’s mission of standing by the people when their government cannot or will not protect them.

Kashmiris in the Indian-controlled territory and the large Kashmiri Diaspora worldwide “look to the Secretary General of the United Nations as the custodian of the moral responsibility of the United Nations,” KAC said in a statement.

Copies of KAC’s statement were received at powerful offices in the US capital, including the White House, the Department of State and the Capitol building.

The KAC board also referred to petitions submitted earlier to the office of the UN Secretary General:

“The people of Kashmir have tried to address to you various petitions and communications regarding the situation in Kashmir. The information establishes that a massive campaign of brutal oppression that was launched by India in 1990 continues unabated. Various estimates are given of the death toll of civilians so for. Making due allowance for unintended exaggerations, the figure runs into tens of thousands. Countless individuals have been maimed and countless women molested and assaulted. United States, Department of State’s country report on human rights says that 8,000 to 10,000 people have involuntarily disappeared.”

The group’s principals made sure to remind Washington and the international diplomatic presence at the UN of the unmarked graves in Kashmir, which is a scandal for India because the country is already home to 21^st century’s first and biggest genocide so far, where 2,000 Indians were butchered over three days in 2002 for being non-Hindus.

“The Board quoted Amnesty International which in its report on September 26, 2011, said that over 2700 unmarked graves have been identified by an 11-member police investigation team of the State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) in four districts of north Kashmir. The state government must ensure that all past and current allegations of enforced disappearances are promptly, thoroughly, independently and impartially investigated and that, where there is sufficient evidence, anyone suspected of responsibility for such crimes is prosecuted in proceedings which meet international fair trial standards.”

In a proposal that could help nudge Kashmir on the UN Security Council’s agenda, KAC offered key suggestions:

“The Board warned that India has succeeded in erecting a smokescreen by claiming that the Kashmir issue is to be resolved bilaterally between India and Pakistan without the intervention of a third party. That wishful thinking has never allowed a meaningful dialogue for a durable and equitable settlement of Kashmir dispute. The human urgency of the situation in Kashmir demands that tripartite negotiations between Governments of India and Kashmir & the genuine leadership of the people of the State of Jammu and Kashmir be initiated under the leadership of the United Nations. The U.N. can appoint a person of an international standing, like Bishop Desmond Tutu to be the facilitator in this regard.”

Kashmiri-American sources in Washington DC tell PakNationalists.com that Kashmiri-Americans are already in contact with US lawmakers and diplomats from several countries, including Turkey, Belgium, Russia, China and Pakistan, in addition to senior UN officials, to push the idea of Mr. Tutu leading a UN-sponsored arbitration of the Kashmir dispute.

US officials and experts working to improve the chances of peace between Pakistan and India find the idea worth considering.

Syed Ali Geelani issues a statement against the ongoing religious aggression in Kashmir

Chairman Hurriyat Conference (G), Syed Ali Shah Geelani, tuesday alleged that Christian missionaries in Kashmir were luring “naïve” muslim boys and girls with money and other incentives to convert to Christianity.

In a statement issued here, Geelani appealed ulema to fulfill their “religious responsibility and defeat this heinous conspiracy.”

“Hurriyat would take ulema into confidence and devise a strategy to save the nation from this cancer. We hope the ulema would rise above differences and extend their full cooperation in fighting these conspiracies,” he said in a statement here to PBI.

“Even though we are not against any religion, we cannot allow anyone to lead astray our children or take undue advantage of their naivety,” Geelani said.
“Christian missionaries have been utilizing funds from America and Europe for converting naïve people of other religions to Christianity, and this has often led to conflicts in several parts of the world,” he said.
“When the entire subcontinent witnessed unprecedented bloodbath in 1947 , not a single incident of the sort took place in Jammu and Kashmir . However, the conspiratorial activities of Christian missionaries can lead to disturbances and lead to an unfavourable situation because no Muslim can see his child being lured with money to shun his religion,” he said.

Kashmiri Muslims conversion to Christianity | Is an another unrest in making?

By Sheikh Saaliq
In a shocking revelation on the social networking sites few hours ago a video has surfaced all over showing Kashmiri Muslims converting to Christianism in an appearance before a rabbinical court. The video which was leaked a day ago is being shared all over the internet.

There are lots of speculations that this video doesn’t belong to Kashmir and is a video of some other place but The Vox Kashmir team has investigated and found out the video is of the city outskirts somewhere in the strong hold of Christian missionaries. The video clearly indicates a large number of Kashmir Young boys and Women converting to Christainism.

IS IT TRUE:

The Vox Kashmir proves that the video is from kashmir

The Attire Used:

Th attire used by the most number of youth shown in video are the typical Kashmiri dress. As the video has been shot just days back the people in video are also wrapped in warm clothes as winter is approaching in Kashmir.

Calling people by their names:

The cleric in the video is being shown calling the people by their names when they are ready to take a ritual bath as per christian religion. It is pertinent to mention that the cleric uses names such as Mohammad Yousuf, Ayoub, Riyaz Ahmad, Idrees and Shabir which are mostly used in kashmir. And above all names are Muslim names.

Using of some Kashmiri language during ritual:

The video itself shows apart from calling people by their names the cleric uses some of Kashmiri words while he is performing some chritain rituals. He uses some of these words “Thod wath” (get Up), “Near-sa” (Now go) and many words like these like which clearly show that the video if from Kashmir.

Singing some religous songs is Kashmir language:

The video also shows that many people are witnessing this event and most of them holding green and white flags in their hands. When cleric calls people one by one to convert people surrounding them including the cleric sing some kind of a song in Hindi “Yeshu ke peech mein chalne laga na lotoongaa, na lotoongaa” (I wil come following the Christ and i will not look back). After some time the song is again being repeated but this time in kashmir language. “Yesuas pat pat be ha paky, wapas na yimy” (I wil come following the Christ and i will not look back) which clearly now indictes that the people converted are Kashmiri Muslims.

Cleric telling to spread Christainism in Kashmir:

The biggest proof is itself the cleric in white attire. At the end the cleric thanks his God and thanks people for accepting christanism their new religion and coming to new life. After this the cleric promises to spread this religion to whole Kashmir while saying this:
“Aaj ke baad Khudawand teri badshaht prati din vadiye kashmir mein Badti jaye gi” (From now on the God’s religion will spread in Valley the of Kashmir too)

TAIL PIECE:

After seeing this video the reaction have been very sharp. TVK is not any how challenging the religion of Christainism and is neither opposite the people who converted but in a place like Kashmir where you only need mere things to make a unrest will this Video take over the emotions of Muslims of Kashmir and the main question is that is another unrest in making?
That remains and enigma…..

Rethinking Kashmir

Guest Post By: Farhana Qazi

Defined by tourist cliches and brilliantly crafted one-liners, the disputed territory of Kashmir is a backpacker’s haven and “paradise on earth.” And while charmingly seductive, the idyllic landscape is beset by a sense-of-siege and is home to millions eager for change and consistency. Nearly two-decades of conflict and on-and-off talks between nuclear arch-rivals India and Pakistan have had few meaningful results. Deeply disappointed by Indian and Pakistani political ploys, people on both sides of the mountain passionately push for peace, either through active participation in much-talked-about-protests or political party meetings that are all-inclusive. Outside of government, residents of the conflict, many of whom are bewitched by deaths and disappearances of friends and foes, undertake risks to release information and record present grievances. Without the people of Kashmir, high-level talks will fail to alter the status-quo of aggressive policies, artificial politics, and animated street protests. The latest issue to haunt the valley is the discovery of mass graves and cyclical human rights abuses-neither issue is new to the residents of Kashmir, but a common narrative they have become achingly accustomed to. In Buried Evidence, a multiauthored publication by The International People’s Tribunal on Human Rights and Justice in Indian-administered Kashmir, the death toll between 1989 and 2009 is listed as well over 8,000-these include enforced or involuntary disappearances and an additional 70,000 or more were found dead. The authors contend that a history of “violence and violation” of human rights abuses result in anguish and anxiety among the population. In the summer of 2008, the international community offered a limited response to the mass graves discovery. For example, the European Parliament passed a resolution to denounce disappearances, detentions and deaths since the outbreak of conflict, calling for an impartial and independent investigation-similar to requests being made by international human rights organizations this year. Three years later, the same story repeats itself. This summer, Amnesty International and India’s Jammu and Kashmir State Human Rights Commission released reports with terrifying statistics of the dead and disappeared-a report that Indian authorities have repelled, despite outside pressure for transparency. The imbroglio over unmarked and unknown mass graves in Kashmir raises doubt and deepens distrust with the ruling elite. Amnesty’s report highlights a fundamental question of whether the Indian state is legitimate or lawful in its “occupation” of Kashmir-an instrumental issue that is debated. Discussion of the ongoing dispute has had a chilling effect and on the local population. The impact of unsettled policies has taken its toll on the youth. In a recent interview, a Srinagar-based doctor, who wished to be unnamed, expressed his concern that the youth of Kashmir are unable to cope in an unending and unresolved conflict. As a physician, he points to the youth’s increasing use of over-the-counter or inexpensive drugs. The doctor noted, “The trauma of war contributes to an ailing society. Most people suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD. To live, Kashmiris are on drugs. We are all sick. Even children take cheap medicine to fall asleep. What will happen to our youth? They have no coping mechanism.” A temporary respite from rage, drugs masquerade the desperation and depression that local residents share. Countless stories of women as told by journalists, including my own collection of mourning, discredit India and Pakistan’s attempt at negotiation. Without taking into account the narrative of violence and a vicious cycle of neglect, the South Asian leaders’ initiative to engage one another is just that-a media blunder that masks the agony and affliction local Kashmiris have harbored for nearly six decades. The Kashmiri people are determined to seek a political solution. Aware of India and Pakistan’s recent overtures to resume dialogue, local communities on both sides of the border watch for signs of prosperity. High-level meetings between the two arch-rivals may be a significant step, though historical record of previous attempts at dialogue proves that neither India nor Pakistan is willing to make critical concessions. Interviews of local residents sport a business-as-usual attitude. A young lawyer in Srinagar admitted, “All the leaders are playing with the blood of martyrs. That is injustice.” A similar distrust expressed by other Kashmiris with their party leaders highlights the failure and fiasco of local officials to take seriously a collapsing society. A Kashmiri law student in exile indicated, “Every political party is vested in itself, with no regard for the people. Until they learn to serve the people, there is nothing India and Pakistan can do to settle the dispute.” A divided Kashmir may present opportunities for India and Pakistan in the short-term, but long-term inadequate policies will encourage strategic encirclement. To move forward on Kashmir, India and Pakistan may need an Arab ally to help South Asian rivals redesign their ambitions for Kashmir to ensure a longer time-table for progress. An outside negotiator has the potential to allow New Delhi and Islamabad to stitch together a political model that involves the people of the valley. Absent an outside collaborator, India and Pakistan risk reducing Kashmir to symbolic gestures, sensationalized by the international press as disingenuous and dishonest

TERRORIZING THE TERRORIZED

By: Koshur Mazloom

When crusaders started their crusade against Muslims, they obliterated everything which they encountered on their way. They massacred women, children and old without any mercy. Christian crusaders were blinded by religious fanaticism.

They laid the foundation stone of what in modern times is called, ‘Religious Fanaticism’ and which is strengthened by ‘terrorism’. But still no one talks about Christian crusaders today. When George. W. Bush announced his "War on Terrorism" he called it a ‘Crusade’. What a dilemma. ‘Crusade against Terrorism’. In other words “Terrorism against Terrorism”. Let us not forget, Western bigots have been preparing the ground for this ‘Crusade’ since long. World Trade Center attack by Osama (no one though proved through a trial that it was he who attacked WTC but then he has already been punished for his unproven guilt) was a watershed event. Western media left no stone unturned to blame Muslims for the act. Fox news of United States of America pasted the caption ‘War on US’ over the TV screen for months altogether. They used to write war in green letters and US in blood red. This implied war on US was declared by green army of Muslims. Slowly and steadily they were successful to change the perception of their people about Muslims and message was clear. Muslims are not any ordinary people but are all terrorists. This was further emphasized by G.W. Bush by his slogan, "Crusade against Terrorism". For him ‘Crusade’ meant holy war and ‘Terrorism’ meant Muslims. However for us ‘Crusade’ meant Terrorism and ‘Terrorists’ meant Muslims. And we tasted that crusade. G. W. Bush managed to slaughter one million 'terrorists' read Muslims in Iraq and still counting. His crusade which started from Afghanistan is going on with venom still today. Thousands of Afghans and Pakistanis have lost their lives and still counting there as well. So, modern day Crusade has achieved far better results for them than the old times crusade. In modern day crusade they did not find any Salah u Din Ayubi to confront them.

But still question remains, How can they justify to their future generations that whatever they did was not terrorism? How can they prove that Muslims were all terrorists or all terrorist were Muslims? Let us leave that to their future generations to question and judge. Let us observe with objectivity and with facts provided by them only, how much role Muslims played in terrorizing them.

Muslims are Terrorists

"All Muslims are terrorists" was the accusation. When the hypocrites who made this statement realized no one in their right mind would believe that all 1.6 billion Muslims in the world could be terrorists, they reversed the statement to sound more objective and fair: Thus they modified it and claimed, “All Muslims may not be terrorists, but almost all terrorists are Muslims.” Average American will continue to watch the mainstream media day in, day out and see pictures of “Muslim terrorists” flashed across the screen or spoken about for hours on the radio. Here are some hard facts to make it clear that every perception is not a reality.

The Facts

According to the FBI database, there have been 318 terrorist incidents in the US from 1980-2005. That includes 209 bombings and 43 arsons. Out of those incidents, 42% were committed by Latino groups, 24% by Extreme Left Wing groups, 7% by Jewish Extremists, 6% by Muslim Extremists, and 5% by Communists.

A RAND Corporation [funded by the U.S. government] report titled

“Would-be Warriors” reveals some very interesting facts:

Not a single U.S. civilian has been killed by Muslim extremists since Sept 11, 2001.

Only 3 out of 83 acts of terrorism between 9/11 and 2009 were done by Muslim extremists. Most were by animal rights and environmental activists.

There was more terrorism in the 1970s than the 21st century. There were over 60 terrorist incidents per year on U.S. soil, most of them being bombings. That’s 15 – 20 times more terrorism than post 9/11.

Europol’s report titled “EU Terrorism Situation and Trend Report” showed that 0.4% of terrorist attacks from 2006-2008 were committed by Muslim extremists. That means 99.6% of terrorist attacks were by non-Muslims, most of which were separatists and leftists.

U.S. Terrorist Organizations

If you were asked to name five major terrorist organizations in the US, how many could you name besides al-Qaeda? Most people couldn’t name more than one. So here are some to help you balance the distorted view that the media feeds you with:

Animal Liberation Front: Is known for sabotaging animal testing facilities, etc. The FBI explicitly said that ALF is the “leading domestic terrorist threat.”

Alpha 66 and Omega 7: Cuban exiles opposed to anyone who takes a moderate approach to Castro. They are responsible for many bombings.

Army of God: Anti-abortion and anti-gay. Known for bombing at least two abortion clinics, a lesbian nightclub, and the Summer Olympics in 1996. They believe that Anglo-Saxons are the only true children of God.

Aryan Nations: A white nationalist, neo-Nazi, and Christian Identity group. The RAND Corporation described it as the “first truly nationwide terrorist network.”

Black Liberation Army: They carried out a series of bombings, robberies, and prison breaks.

The Covenant, the Sword, and the Arm of the Lord: Another Christian Identity organization.

Earth Liberation Front: Eco-terrorist group. The FBI in March 2001 said that it is the number one domestic terrorist threat.

Jewish Defense League: Founded by Rabbi Meir Kahane, they executed at least 15 terrorist attacks in the U.S. [more than al-Qaeda] and are responsible for at least 60 bombings.

Ku Klux Klan: A white supremacist, anti-Communist, anti-Semitic, and anti-Catholic group.

Militia Movement: An anti-government movement. One common tactic is to explode pipe bombs at government facilities. They have about 20,000-60,000 members in the U.S.

Phineas Priesthood: Another Christian Identity movement that is against interracial intercourse, homosexuality, abortion, and multiculturalism.

Symbionese Liberation Army: A far left organization.

United Freedom Front: A Marxist organization responsible for at least 20 bombings and 9 bank robberies.

The Weather Underground: A far left organization responsible for at least 45 bombings between 1970 – 1977.

Ejercito Popular Boricua [Boricua People’s Army]: They have been demanding independence of Puerto Rico from U.S. imperialism.

New World Liberation Front: A far-left organization responsible for at least 70 bombings in the Bay Area alone.

International Terrorist Organizations

Of course, terrorism is not only an American phenomenon, but exists worldwide. Here are some examples abroad:

Aum Shinrikyo: Japan. A new religious movement responsible for the 1995 Sarin Nerve Gas attacks in the Tokyo subway.

All Tripura Tiger Force: India. Their goal is to expel all immigrants of Tripura. 90% of members are Hindu and 10% are Christian.

Babbar Khalsa: India/Canada. A Sikh religious organization that blew up a 747 jet in 1985 killing 329 people [including 280 Canadian citizens].

Communist Party of India (Maoist): Prime Minister Singh said that they are “the single biggest security challenge ever faced by our country”. They have killed over a thousand people.

Provisional Irish Republican Army: Ireland. They have killed over 1800 people.

ETA (Basque Homeland and Freedom): Spain/France. They have killed almost a thousand people.

Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK): Turkey. A Socialist/Nationalist party demanding independence.

New Peoples Army: Philippines. A Communist organization.

National Liberation Front of Corsica: France. A separatist organization.

Justice Commandos Against Armenian Genocide: They have been trying to force Turkey to admit to the historical Armenian genocide. Responsible for at least 23 terrorist attacks.

Notable U.S. Terrorist Attacks

The following is a very brief list of terrorist attacks on U.S. soil to make it clear that American terrorism is as American as cherry pie.

1910: Bombing of the L.A. Times Building by James and John McNamara who wanted to unionize the paper.

1920: Wall Street bombing by followers of Luigi Galleani with 100 pounds of dynamite that killed 38 people and injured 400.

1927: Bath, Michigan Bombings by Andrew Kehoe who was angry over taxes. He set off three bombs killing 45 people [including 38 students].

1971: Bombing of the U.S. Capitol Building by the Weather Underground in protest against the U.S. invasion of Laos.

1972: Bombing of the Pentagon by the Weather Underground in retaliation for the U.S. bombing raid in Hanoi.

1975: Bombing of the Department of State Building by the Weather Underground in response to war escalation in Vietnam.

1976: Hijacking of Cubana Flight 455 by CIA-linked Cuban exiles who killed all 73 people on board.

1978-1995: Unabomber Attacks by Ted Kaczynski who sent letterbombs to academics and other influential people.

1995: Oklahoma City Bombing by Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols who killed 168 people.

1996: Centennial Olympic Park Bombing by Eric Robert Rudolph for which President Clinton called “an evil act of terror”. This was the largest pipe bomb in U.S. history.

2001: Anthrax Attacks by Bruce Edwards Ivins.

2007: Virginia Tech Massacre by Seung-Hui Cho who killed 32 people. He likened himself to Jesus Christ and expressed his hatred of the rich.

2010: Austin IRS Attack by Andrew Joseph Stack who flew an airplane into the IRS building because he was mad at the government.

2011: Tucson Shooting of Gabrielle Giffords where Jared Lee Loughner shot nineteen people.

Image is Everything

It is obvious that media gives maximum coverage to ‘Muslim Terrorism’ and usually labels it so and in other cases little coverage is given and the nomenclature is usually confined to ‘terrorism’ only without any prefixes before the word terrorism.The only statistics that are missing is the amount of media coverage per terrorist incident or group. It shouldn’t surprise anyone now that Muslims usually receive the most coverage despite the fact that they are near the bottom of the list when it comes to terrorist activity.

Now that the facts are clear, do you think anyone would dare to rephrase the statement and end with “almost all terrorists are…” Latinos, leftists, environmentalists, Christians, Sikhs or Jews? I doubt it. This twisted logic is only applied for Muslims, not anyone else. No never. It will be considered a blashphemy and anti - semitism. But for Muslims no rules apply. Muslims are still the dreaded terrosits for them despite being slaughtered day in and day our in the name of 'Crusade against Terrorism'. Who wil turn the tables on them and call their criminal crusades, as acts of real terrorism. But then we Muslims do not posses Fox TV and CNN to do that job for us. We possess only collaborators in our ranks and puppets on thrones. Our media is an extension of their media. No one among us is ready to bust their myths. We have only been given a job of pleading not guilty and playing as victims which we actually are. But no one is ready to accept that. Hope our future generations will not take these things as a norm . Hope they will confront them. Hope !
