net Powered by Translate Media Partners Terror has political goals: Religion should be for Humanism Submitted by admin4 on 10 August 2011 - 10:56pm Articles Indian Muslim By Ram Puniyani, After being attacked by the bombs of the terrorists (13/7, 2011), we are facing the barrage from the ideologues of Hate and divisiveness. Many a ideologues of r eligious nationalism have come out with outpourings associating religion, Islam and so Muslims with terrorism and the need to confront this attack of terror by uniting as Hindus, voting a Hindu party, taking away the citizenship rights of M uslims, and declaring India as a Hindu nation (Subramanian Swamy, July 16, 2011) . Swamy says the terrorism is an attack of Islam on Hinduism. Islam wants to tak e over India. So in response Hindu mind set has to be promoted, temples built at Ayodhya and Varanasi, article 370 should be abolished, conversion from Hinduism to other religions banned while conversions to Hinduism should not be stopped. India should be declared as Hindu Rashtra and Muslims should be disenfranchised. While being put forward in a brusque and blunt fashion, there is nothing new ab out his article, as this is precisely the agenda for which RSS combine has been working and spreading the Hate politics in India. The political ideology making Hi nduism as its political base, the Sangh Parivar, has been propagating this from close to a century by now. And to add to this the US propaganda, US media coinin g the term Islamic terrorism has added further grist to the mil of hatred. Terrorism though a centuries old phenomenon has come to global prominence especi ally after the creation of Al Qaeda, Taliban; in the especially set up madrassas by US. The whole US design in the last three decades of last century was to dom inate in West Asia, one of the richest oil reserves. While the US state manufact ured one or the other pretext to attack these countries, it had already sown the seeds of formation of Israel at the end of Second World War and the idea was cl ear that this emerging global power needed a close ally to conquer the oil field s of the West Asia. This zone was predominantly inhabited by Muslims, some compl iant Muslim Sheikhs and tyrants were easy enough to find in the region to collab orate with. The best allies, of the Democratic US have been, the tyrannical rulers in West Asia and other parts of the World. While the US state was preparing one or the other pretext to attack different co untries in the World, in the oil zone the story had already begun by overthrowin g the democratically elected Mossadeq in Iran, who had tried to nationalize the oil wells and thereby harming the interests of US-UK oil corporations. Later wit h Soviet army occupying Afghanistan, the need to use Muslim youth for anti Russian fight was fulfilled through these Madrassas especially opened in Pakistan with US assistance and encouragement. It is these Madrassas which distorted the meani ng of word Jihad (Jihad in Koran means striving to utmost) to killing the Kafirs , (Kafir in real sense means those hiding truth), presented as those not believi

ng in Allah. Parallel to this Samuel Huntington floated the theory of Clash of Ci vilizations. According to this theory, with the decline of Soviet Union, the clas h is no more between free-democratic Worlds (US-UK etc.) but between the backwar d Islamic civilizations versus the Western civilization. This theory gave impetus to the whole distortion of Islam, which came to be proj ected as backward and violent. The madrassas created a mind set, the fanatics who in the name of Islam were willing to kill and maim at the drop of the hat. US c arefully nurtured these groups by supporting them financially and with armaments . With Ayatollah Khomeini coming to power in Iran, US media coined the word, Isl am the New threat and with 9/11 attack being presented as the handiwork of Osama , Al Qaeda, the US media created the word Islamic terrorism. Needless to say nei ther Islam nor most of the religions permit the killings of innocent people. Whi le the political groups like Irish Republican Army to Liberation tiger of Tamil Elam or Khalistanis or ULFA did undertake acts which were having political goals but in the process they also killed innocent people. This was the process of de monization of Islam and Muslims which was seen in its highest form in Danish car toons, showing the Prophet of Islam keeping bombs in his turban. In India the earlier process whereby the British policy of divide-and-rule promo ted a communal view of History aimed to create mutual hatred against the two maj or communities, Hindus and Islam, got mixed up with the new propaganda associati ng Islam, Muslims with violence and terrorism. The points raised by Subramanian Swamy, using the cover of Hindu religion are obnoxious. The terror attacks are n ot aimed at any one religious community, barring the ones which were especially d one in front of mosques or places of Muslim congregation by the likes of Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur and Aseemanand. In the biggest terror attack of 9/11 2001, p eople of all religions and counties were killed. The victims of Al Qaeda terror are equally there in Pakistan. To think that Muslim Kings came here to spread Islam is sense-less, as religions were not spread by Kings, barring King Ashoka who spread Buddhism by peaceful m eans. Islam in India was spread by Sufi saints and it was embraced by the shudra s in main to escape the tyranny of caste system. To think that Muslims want to c onvert India into Darul Islam by killing Hindus and increasing their tribe by pr oducing more children is a figment of imagination as during last 60 years (from 1947 to 2001) the percentage of Muslims went up by nearly 0.8%, as during the sa me period the percentage of Adivasis went up from 7.5% to 8.5%, the reason for b oth being poverty and illiteracy rather than a conscious program to increase pop ulation. The extension of Clash of civilization theory is the prevalent perception that all terrorists are Muslims. One concedes that the Muslim youth lured by the Madrassas set up by US, were programmed for killing in an insane way. Most of the misplace d arrests of Muslim youth in India later turned out to be baseless and showed th e bias of investigating agencies. To believe that in India only Hindu get killed in the terror attacks is totally false, in the 26/11 2008 attack the number of Muslims killed was much higher tha n their percentage in population and even in the current 13/7, 2011 attack also people from both communities have been killed. The solutions being offered that Hindus must give a unified response, vote for a Hindu party smack of sheer propa gation of Hate politics. India has been secular due to the choice of people of I ndia who rejected the notion of Islamic state and Hindu state during freedom mov ement and the same values got enshrined in our Constitution. We cannot forget the investigations done by Hemant Karkare, who meticulously une arthed the link from Pragya Singh Thakur to Aseemamand to Indresh Kumar, the RSS functionary. The indoctrination of people in the Islamic state or Hindu state i deologies is a political goal either of global super power or of local groups ai

ming to suppress the democracy and pluralism of our county, which are the highes t values emerging from our freedom movement. By retaliating, (against whom?), at tacking Pakistan is an idea close to insanity and a sure recipe for disaster in the subcontinent. To accuse any community of harboring terrorists is wrong, few Aseemanands or Day anand Pandeys dont make all the Hindu community as terrorists Share
