Not resilience, Its time for action
On
the night of 26Th November around 11.30, I was sitting online chatting
with friends. Then, someone told me there has been terror attack on
Mumbai. I thought it must be another bomb blast. I did not feel any
emotions. After hearing to blasts every other day in different parts of
India, it doesn"t have much affect on me. I felt cold, but I did not
bother to even switch on TV. Later around 12 am, the same guy told me
to watch TV. So, I switched on TV hesitantly, while my mind was
thinking about the insensitive government we have. The first thing I
saw was that ATS chief dead. There is hostage situation in Oberoi and
Taj hotels.
My first reaction seeing it was not one of shocking, or anger or sadness but it was one of laughing. I felt like laughing out loud. The irony stuck me in the fact that, for last several weeks, our "Anti-Terrorist Squad" was busy hunting down so called Hindu Terrorists, torturing Sadhvi, defaming Army while, the "Real Terrorists", the Jihadi"s were planning for such a large operation. Media was busy with convincing people how Hindu terrorists are greater threats to society, how they are evils hell bent on destroying "secular India", and here on the ground, the brothers of secularists, the jihadi"s, Afzal Guru"s were planning to blow of the heritage of India- the Taj.
Make no mistake; I salute the sacrifices done by ATS chief and others. But, it is undeniable, that while the ATS, the Government, and the media everyone was busy in defaming Hindus and our armed forces, a plot was being planned by the Jihadis. It was not a simple bomb blast like before; it was a plot to shake the people to the core. They planned to fire and kill people indiscriminately, take people as hostages and blow up the heritage hotels. If, this is not an attack on a country, what else is it? At, the end of the day, it took armed forces, the elite "Black Cats" to come for rescue.
What was Government doing all this time? What were Intelligence agencies doing? What happened to our coast guards, our ATS? These are the questions which every Indian is asking. But is anyone listening to a common man"s voice?
Oxford defines terrorism as- "the use of violent action in order to achieve political aims". Muslim apologists say Jihad doesn"t mean "Violence", Islam is not violent, its religion of peace. Jihad means "to strive/struggle in the way of Allah/God". But, what is this "In way of God" means? Koran 2/193 states "And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah". This clearly shows that Jihad is a war against infidels. Many claim that "jihad refers to internal war and not external war". But, the 74Th verse of Sûrah Nisã, clearly states:" Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Who so fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or victorious, on him we shall bestow a vast reward." This verse clearly shows that there is nothing allegorical or metaphysical in the nature of war that is jihad; it is armed war and nothing else.
Biographers of Muhammad have listed as many as eighty-two expeditions which he mounted against various tribes of Arabia and the neighboring lands, in a brief span of ten years between his migration to Medina in 622 CE and his death in 632 CE. Sita Ram Goel, renowned Historian after making an analysis of the life of Prophet Mohamud and his wars concludes that- "In fact, prophets other than Muhammad had arisen in Arabia itself, before, alongside and after Muhammad. But all of them had failed because they did not raise armies and assemble arsenals. Muhammad succeeded because he equipped his mission with a mailed fist. It may be noted that while he had only 301 ill-equipped warriors with him in the Battle of Badr (622 CE), he had 10,000 well-equipped men when he marched into Mecca eight years later (630 CE) and 30,000 when he planned an invasion of Palestine on the eve of his death (632 CE) [1]" This very clearly shows that, Jihad involves Violence.
Suhas Majumbdar [2] sums up the goals of Jihad as-(a) the ultimate object of jihãd is to Islamize the whole of humanity. (b) The immediate objects of jihãd are four in number: (1) spread of Islam by war; (2) the destruction of infidels; (3) jizyah; and (4) plunder. These points clearly show that, "Jihad" is "Terrorism". Jihad is the use of violent action to achieve complete "Islamisation of the world". That is, to convert Darul Harab into Darul Islam.
People, who shout terrorism has no religion, should analyze these aspects. All Muslims are not terrorists. But, all the Muslims who are terrorists do terrorism not only in the name of Allah and Islam, but are inspired and guided by Islamic doctrines. Islamic ideology laid down instructions to do terrorism, to achieve the complete Islamisation of the world. Anwer Shiek [3] opines-"The prophet Muhammad divided humanity into two sections - the Arabs and the non-Arabs... The Arabs are the rulers and the non-Arabs are to be ruled... Islam is the means to realize this dream... Islam has caused more damage to the national dignity and honour of non-Arab Muslims than any other calamity". A friend of mine made a point that, Indian Muslims are Indian; they don"t want to leave India. It"s true; they want to be in India. But, their aim is to Islamize India. He rightly mentioned, Indian Muslims don"t want to be under Saudi rule, but the fact is "Islamic India" will not be having anything Indian in it. As Anwer Sheik points out, Islam is Arab imperialism. It is imposition of Arabic culture and dress-code. So, Islamic India would have nothing Indian in it.
To solve, a problem, we need to analyze the root cause of it. Terrorism is a Global Jihad. It is a pan-Islamic movement happening all over the world. It is high time; we call a spade as a spade. Its time to get above vote bank politics, above political correctness. Common man should rise now and force the establishment to act. Some of the important steps to be taken by government are- Sealing our borders with hostile neighbors, increasing coastal security, giving more teeth"s to our intelligence agencies, Monitoring Madrasa education, creating tough laws, creating Local anti-terror groups in all major towns and city whose work will be to keep a watch on surroundings and also to take necessary actions if necessary.
It"s not time for resilience, its time for action. Enough is enough.
