Handsome Muslim men accused of waging ‘love jihad’ in India

Muslim fundamentalists in India have been accused of waging a “love jihad”, using charming young men to lure girls into converting to Islam with promises of marriage.

Christian and Hindu groups, which have themselves clashed over the sensitive issue of religious conversions, have joined forces to combat the alleged campaign.

A Hindu helpline in southern India claims it has received more than 1,500 calls from parents who fear their daughters are being lured by the group into converting to Islam.

The high court in Kerala directed India’s interior ministry and police to investigate the phenomenon.

So far, little is known about the group behind the “love jihad”, but it is alleged to be linked to a fundamentalist Muslim group called the Popular Front of India and its student wing Campus Front – which they deny.

It emerged after two young Muslim men were arrested for luring two post-graduate students into marriage by “feigning love” to convert them to Islam.

They were arrested after the women told a court they had been “trapped” by the men and forced to convert. One of the girls said she had eloped with the older student at a college in Pathanamthitta who had taken her and her friend to a “conversion centre” in Malappuram where they were given extremist literature.

Cultural misogyny; young Punjabi mothers in Canada pressured to birth sons, reject girls

Desperate mothers

STAFF REPORTER

On a windswept street in a bustling industrial area on the outskirts of town, a stocky man in a white shirt and dark jeans pulls out three Ziploc bags containing red, brown and silver pills.

Take two red and brown pills each day for a week, he tells the woman who says she is nine weeks pregnant, and your baby has an 85 per cent chance of being a boy. Then he demands $750 in cash.

In the Indian state of Punjab, the culture is obsessed with boys. Desperate to avoid giving birth to girls, women for decades have taken extreme measures. They swallow herbs, drink pregnant cow’s milk, pray in marathon sessions, and since the widespread use of ultrasound technology, abort female fetuses.

It’s a huge topic of debate in India, with an alarmingly skewed birth ratio of boys to girls.

But this scene on an industrial strip was not played out in Punjab, but just west of Toronto, in an area a large number of Punjabis now call home – and where the latest Canadian census figures reveal significantly fewer girls than boys in the South Asian community. Continue Reading →

Young girl kills militant in Jammu and Kashmir

Posted on by

H/T to Proud Kaffir, thanks for this one. Its about damn time. What is disgusting, is its a good certainty than in Canada and most of Europe, had someone done this they would be jailed rather than rewarded. Even so, I would prefer to be in a box having 12 men judge me, than carried in a box with six men under me.

From Thaindian.com

Jammu, Sep 28 (IANS) In what may be the first ever such act of resistance against militants in Jammu and Kashmir, a young woman in Rajouri district killed one militant and injured and drove away two others who had barged into her house and tried to abduct her, police said Monday.
Rukhsana, who gave up her studies two years ago after failing class tenth, was in her house in Shadhara village in Thana Mandi area of the district, about 190 km north-east of Jammu, when three militants barged in late Sunday night, police in Rajouri said.

The militants demanded Rukhsana be handed over to them, which her father Noor Hussain, mother Rashida and brother Ejaz tried to resist. At this, the militants started hitting the family members with rifle butts. This angered Rukhsana and she picked up an axe and hit one of the militants, killing him. He was later identified as Abu Osama of the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).

A violent scuffle ensued, in which another militant was injured and he and the third soon fled.

Police officials have commended Rukhsana’s courage, while state Director General of Police Kuldeep Khoda has sent a special message for Rukhsana and said she would soon be rewarded.

“We have also provided police protection to the family,” Deputy Inspector General of Police Rajouri-Poonch range S.D.S. Jamwal told reporters.

India receives threat of multiple bomb blasts in demand of separate muslim state in Kerala

bomb threats indiaKANNUR – The cyber police cell in Kerala, India has traced an e-mail threat from the United Arab Emirates, warning of widespread bomb blasts in the state, if a separate Muslim state, comprising districts of north Kerala, is not created.

Speaking to IANS, inspector general of police Tomin J. Thachenkery said Friday that the e-mail was received Thursday at a few media offices.

“We immediately began our work and found that the mail is from United Arab Emirates based Etisalat and the domain is that of Yahoo. Since a first information report is required to trace out the IP of the computer, a case has been registered here at the Kannur Town police station.”

He added that the e-mail was written by Zakhir Hussain who claims to be the head of the newly formed Malabar Mujahid which has its headquarters in Karachi and has support from ISI (Inter-services intelligence) of Pakistan and LeT (Lashkar-e-Toiba).

“If their demand for a separate Muslim state is not met, then bombs will be deployed across the state and for that they have already shipped seven kilograms of RDX. The first of the series of bomb blasts will begin with a sample one today (Friday), being the Independence Day of Pakistan,” said the letter, according to Thachenkery.

Following the e-mail, the state has been put on high alert and instructions have gone to all district headquarters to remain vigilant.

Muslims and Hindus drop infants in ceremonial baby-dropping ritual

Posted on by

Forget genies in a bottle, ghost-busters, yoga, crystal balls and cartoons. The New Zealand Herald covers the story of  hundreds of infants being dropped from the rooftop of a mosque in Sholapur, western India about 450 miles south of Mumbai, in the belief that the fall, hopefully ending in the lucky catch of the child in a bed sheet, signals eventual good fortune for the family.

The ritual at the Baba Umer Durga, a Muslim shrine, has been followed for close to 700 years with hundreds of people both Hindu and Muslim taking part. Local television channels showed babies screaming while being shaken before being dropped while parents and other believers stood aground holding open bed sheets. With high child mortality rates, particularly in India’s rural areas, people view the ritual a guarantee of their child’s health.

Child welfare advocates continue to express outrage at the event. ” This shows the complete failure of the local administration to prevent this practice and to create awareness about children’s health” New Delhi civil right’s activist Ranjana Kumari said, adding ” it may be a reflection of a lack of access to health services leading people to behave in this irrational manner”.

Muslims attempt to kill Hindu pilgrims.

Posted on by

There is no geopolitical advantage in this. This attack was not in any way to advance a cause other than one of merely killing non muslims and advancing Islam in India. Of all the outrages and horrors perpetrated by Muslims on a daily basis this is the worst of today. So far. From Google news by way of TROP:

indians protecting pilgrims

SRINAGAR, India (AFP) — The Indian army said Monday it had defused a bomb placed along a route used by Hindus taking part in an annual pilgrimage to a mountain shrine in Muslim-majority Kashmir.

Troops discovered an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) on a road south of Indian Kashmir’s summer capital Srinagar, and called in a bomb disposal team.

“The IED was concealed in a bag lying on the side of the mountainous road,” an army officer said. “The timely detection avoided a possible catastrophe.”

The road is used every day by thousands of Hindus from across India and the world to reach a Himalayan cave to a sacred ice form.

The icicle resembles a fertility symbol known as a lingam and is worshipped as a representation of Lord Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction.

Thousands of security forces are deployed along mountain roads and trails to protect the pilgrims, who have been targeted in the past by Islamic militants fighting New Delhi’s rule in Muslim-majority Kashmir.

At least 32 pilgrims were killed in attacks by suspected militants in 2000 and ten more died the following year. Attacks have since dropped, amid a peace process between India and Pakistan.

Muslims attacking East Indians in Australia?

Posted on by

[kaltura-widget wid=”2p30m7ffbk” width=”410″ height=”364″ addpermission=”3″ editpermission=”3″ /]When I first saw this story a few weeks ago I wondered why the media reporting was leaving out the ethnicity of the attackers. I was wondering why the public would be left to use their imagination as to why a bunch of white  Australian men were all of a sudden turning on Indian students. As usual the media is keeping the public misinformed by only reporting part of the story. Although this next story is more of the same it does tease us with some of the facts. So I will let the reader make up their own mind. Mine was about 90% made up 2 weeks ago. Today it is 99.9%.

from BBC

 

Police in Sydney, Australia, had to be called to Harris Park suburb on Monday night to quell an angry crowd, provoked by two new alleged attacks on Indians.

An Indian man in his 20s was allegedly set upon by a group of men of Middle Eastern appearance, and another Indian was injured in a separate attack. At least 200 Indian men then gathered, shouting demands for “justice”.

The latest incidents come after several attacks on Indians, which the government denies are racist.

Mother caned in Bangladesh for talking to Hindu man

Posted on by

DHAKA (AFP) – A Muslim mother has been caned for talking to a Hindu man in Bangladesh, police said Saturday, prompting fresh concerns about a rise in cases of harsh treatment of women under strict Islamic law. The punishment was carried out in a remote village in Muslim-majority Bangladesh on the orders of village elders, local police chief Enamul Monowar told AFP by telephone.

The village elders found Kamala Begum, 38, a mother of four, guilty under Islamic sharia law of chatting with an unidentified Hindu man, Monowar said. Hindus make up around 10 percent of Bangladesh’s population.

 “The villagers got bundles of 25 sticks and hit her four times on the back. They claimed it was a symbolic punishment. But she’s humiliated and has been in great mental pain,” Monowar said. Continue Reading →

Gandhi joins Dalai Lama: Peace is not the answer

Posted on by

Earlier on Vlad we had an article on the Dalai Lama’s position on Islamic terrorism which quoted the Tibetan spiritual leader as being quite clear that one cannot use non violence to deal with islam and its methods. Now the great grandson of India’s first prime minister Nehru and involved with the famous Gandhi, inventor of passive resistance and non violence as a tool for political change joins the Dalai Lama in recognition of the need for active resistance and serious resistance to Islam.

From the Daily Mail UK:

Gandhi arrested for ‘inciting violence against Muslims’

Varun Gandhi

Varun Gandhi, who is said to have made hate speeches, gestered as he arrives at court

The great-grandson of India’s first prime minister was arrested yesterday for promoting hatred against Muslims.

Varun Gandhi, 29, is alleged to have made hate speeches and incited violence ahead of next month’s national elections.

It is claimed he was filmed comparing a rival Muslim politician to Osama bin Laden and had threatened to cut the throats of Muslims at two recent political rallies.

Gandhi belongs to the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty, which has produced three prime ministers over six decades and always encouraged a secular government and tolerance for religious minorities.

But Varun, a descendant of first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, is a member of the Hindu nationalist, right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party.

Yesterday he drove through the streets of Pilibhit, a town in the state of Uttar Pradesh, 135 miles east of New Delhi – where he is seeking a parliamentary seat.

Thousands of supporters accompanied him before he turned himself in.

He will be held until tomorrow, when he can seek release on bail. If convicted, he could be disqualified from running for office and jailed for three years.

On March 17, India’s Election Commission told officials in Uttar Pradesh state to file a criminal case against him for promoting hatred.

Gandhi denied making the comments, saying the video had been tampered with.

He said: ‘I am innocent. I have been falsely implicated in a conspiracy.’

But the Electoral Commission said it is ‘fully convinced and satisfied’ the video ‘has not been tampered with or doctored’.
