America 10 years on: Fight terror, but correct mistakes



What could be the single-most profound fallout of the September 2001 attacks, or 9/11, ten years on? It is the surreal state of permanent war, intermittent peace. In a way, the events wiped out the last remaining vestiges of universal innocence.

America responded to the events of that day with an “industrial-scale counter-terrorism war”. In these ten years, it launched two wars, in Iraq and Afghanistan. Deadly bombings in these countries and elsewhere by terrorists have combined with America’s own operations to kill countless soldiers and civilians.

According to the Brown University’s “Cost of the War” project, the cost of wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan have been estimated at 225,000 lives and up to $4 trillion in US spending. This is many times the current US Budget deficit.

Because the war has been financed almost entirely by borrowing, $185 billion in interest has already been paid on war spending, and another $1 trillion could accrue in interest alone through 2020, according to the “Cost of War” project’s findings.

This makes me suspect that, if a serious study were to be undertaken, there will be found a link between the economic downturn and the war on terror.

It is time Western powers started winding down the specific wars in Afghanistan and Pakistan. But the long-term fight against al Qaeda must continue. In this, our singular goal should be to single out terrorists.

This war against terror has to be non-partisan, one that does not blame any community and religion. We also cannot afford a war on terror that is indiscriminate or one that divides this world in clear halves. According to a recent Pew global poll, Muslims and the West view each other as extremely violent.

If the broader effect of this war means that Muslims are subjected to ridicule, suspicion and hate, then they are likely to be alienated further. Many of them may come to sympathise more with terror than counter-terrorism.

On the other hand, in Muslim nations like Pakistan or Iraq, the situation is so delirious that nothing makes sense anymore. Take for instance the suicide bombings outside a Shia mosque in Pakistan during Eid. To end this anarchy requires a ‘reboot’. I do not know what exactly it will take. But I know where to start: at the mosque and at homes. There’s no better place to tell the kids that killing of innocents is un-Islamic.

This conditioning must start at age zero. So, as they grow up, they will deepen — not weaken — their stake in their society, religion and their own future. Western powers too must devote serious thought to assessing their role in global affairs, where their mistakes have fed terror. Nobody can correct their mistakes, but their own selves.

    Zia , its all the fault of Christians, Jews and Hindus.

    How did you miss that?

    No fault lies with the teachings of Islam.

    Muhammad was a very peaceful man who did not kill 10 year old boys. That hadiths lie when that say that he killed 10 year old boys. It is not true, for example, when the hadiths and the sirats state that he and his men beheaded 800 unarmed male Jews of the Banu Qurayza tribe.

    Yet when it comes to ISLAMIC COUNTRIES and their descent into a morass , rather than speak clean and clear , he muddles with sentences “it doesn’t make sense anymore”, orI DO NOT KNOW WHAT EXACTLY IT WILL TAKE.

    1. Let not the believers take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah.(3:28).
    2. Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom Allah doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of Allah, shall be repaid unto you, and ye shall not be treated unjustly (8:60).

    So long muslims are obsessed with their religion, and arrogant in their belief that their religion is the best, and others are far inferior to theirs, this problem will not disappear soon.

    US did a major mistake by invading Iraq. Many innocents were killed.

    However troubling it may be, it does not give Muslims a blanket “right” to launch terrorist attacks.

    USA was not fighting Muslims; it was fighting terrorism, and in Iraq’s case a potential terrorist country.

    Muslims have to think in terms of members of nation-state and not a religious caliphate/Ummah.

    Muslims have to love their “neighbors”.. This nonsense about kauffr, infidel etc has to go away.

    Zia is a Muslim, and like all muslims, he will NEVER speak aganist Islamic evil, no matter what (which is really the root of so many evils on this planet today). It is the Islamic code of conduct. Also out of fear, he knows what his fellow muslims will do to him and his family, if he criticised Islam or Muhammad.

    … and this guy ‘Tajinder’ who is really a muslim with Hindu name will go on blabbing mindlessly defending Islam …. as everyone goes on ignoring him… … its business as usual !

    Islam is on its last leg… CNN and Fox news blogs are full of comments as world awakes to the absurdity of this ‘religion of peace’ … of course Islam is not the only evil on this planet, Capitalism (corruption) is playing a major role as well, but Islam is heads and shoulders above the rest of them all…

    I remember – in my university days, I had a couple of Muslim friends. I knew very little about Islam back then. We always used to hang out together. For the most part they were like us, but I used to be surprised whenever we used to have India – Pakistan cricket match, we (rest of us hindu students) could tell that they (muslmm brothers) secretly cheered for Pakistan. On the surface they reacted like the rest of us, but we could tell that dee down there was something suspicious about their allegience to the Indian team… but we never thought much about it…

    .. now in retrospect, when I have learnt about Islam, I can understand why they behaved in the way they did… Muslims will always favour other muslims, even if they belong to an enemy country. Its in their DNA – this is what they are taught in Kuran… not to take non-muslims as friends… a muslim will never criticise other muslims.. even if they would, it would be half-hearted show of words, but deep down heir allgience lies with other muslims…

    Dear Zia

    I saw your introduction “they call me muslim” who rejected the idea of reading Arabic as the book was not colorful, I thought here comes a person who is not prejudiced and does not carry a victim mentality and will be neutral and call a spade a spade.

    But I must say after going through at least 20 of your articles and was deeply disappointed. You are no different from a lot of other people from your community who carry the same thought process. I being a devout Hindu agree like a lot of other people as to what is happening to Muslims in the world is injustice, but I see in all your articles in spite of all the ills congress has given to out motherland India, subverting almost all the institutions like the president of India, CVC, CBI and off course top of it all the PM, who I see saying more often I do not know, I am not as much a culprit as I am made out to be and the latest I do not have a magic wand. You almost find fault with BJP in everything they do and you always in your own subtle way say congress MAY BE wrong( or they are right) but boldly say BJP is worse. I do not know congress being in power for almost 48 yrs of our independence BJP only for 6 yrs still BJP is mother of all ills, I doubt your integrity as an independent observer.

    To increase your credibility firstly why don’t you start writing for a more neutral paper, as HT also has a dubious credentials with chors ( or shall I say whores) of Indian journalism writing for them like Vir sanghvi , Barkha Dutt and so many others.
    Also just one question to you ever thought that almost no one however devout Hindu ( or Christian) he/she may be and never ever doubted Mr. APJ Abdul Kalam .Or may you do not consider him muslim enough!

    Quran 2:223.

    Your wives are a tilth for you, so go to your tilth , when or how you will, and send before you for your ownselves. And fear Allah, and know that you are to meet Him , and give good tidings to the believers .

    This verse above proves again that women are no more than prostitutes in Islam. The man pays a miserly mehr or bride price and after that Allah commands the man to go into his women in any manner he wishes. No question is asked of the women. In Islam the woman does not seem to have sexual desire. What if she wishes to initiate and go on top of the man? The concubine, concubinage being legal, in Islam, has no say at all either.

    Read the article below by Anila Ali in the latest edition of Pakistan Link, a e-paper published outside Pakistan.

    The issue is about wife beating which the Muhammadan faith clearly allows. The verse makes no mention of a light beating. It is beating period. The man can beat up his wives for disobedience.

    Those of us, the non-Muslims, whose mental faculties are still intact because the Islamic faith has not corroded, would have said ” Physical violence in any situation is wrong. Laws must be passed and implemented punishing violence against a spouse, whether initiated by the male or the female. ” And we would have moved on regardless of what the scriptures might say. Hindus did that for example with the caste discrimination or with property rights. Women of the Hindu faith are equal to men. The widow of a friend of mine inherited a building in Mumbai worth several hundred crores when her husband passed away and the deceased husband’s male relatives did not get any share. Men are not allowed to beat their wives, else they go to jail.

    Hindus recognize that all scriptures were written by humans and are therefore flawed, if not wholly, then to some extent. And this some extent is what need to be corrected by passing legislation.

    Muslims use no such common sense. For example they will place in parenthesis next to the word “” lightly” as if it is acceptable and legal to beat the wife or wives lightly.

    With this ” head in the sand” and “dont look at the obvious” attitude terrorism and oppression will be forever the chief ingredient of Islam.

    It is only when Muslims look at this evil Arab faith with no holds barred and take corrective action that the problems emanating from Islam will disappear.

    Muslims in the Indian subcontinent have only one rational choice : to abandon Islam.

    ***********************************************************************************************

    Wife Beating in Islam
    By Anila Ali
    Irvine , CA

    No, my husband is not allowed to “beat me” according to the Qur’an!

    I have been asked this question so many times that I feel it necessary to put my responses down in writing.

    Let’s look at the issue of domestic violence against Muslim women on account of this verse from the Qur’an: 4:34

    Yusuf Ali : Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband’s) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great (above you all).

    Pickthall

    Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the support of women). So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them. Then if they obey you, seek not a way against them. Lo! Allah is ever High, Exalted, Great.

    According to the Qur’an, a man, in this particular verse, has three options:

    Communicate, advise her, and settle the matter amicably.
    Abstain from sharing the same bed until she clears her head/calms down.
    If that doesn’t work, let her “go forth,” in other words, leave or separate from you.

    Muslim clerics have mistranslated the word “idriboohunna” to mean “beat her lightly”. The other word in the same verse, “nushoozahunna” has also been mistranslated as “disloyalty and ill-conduct”. These words have been derived from the root words, “daraba” and “nushooz”. Let’s look at the word “nushooz”- it means “to rise/go above”. In Verse 58:11, Yusufali has translated “nushooz” accurately:

    Yusuf Ali : O ye who believe! When ye are told to make room in the assemblies, (spread out and) make room: (ample) room will Allah provide for you. And when ye are told to rise up, rise up Allah will rise up, to (suitable) ranks (and degrees), those of you who believe and who have been granted (mystic) Knowledge. And Allah is well-acquainted with all ye do.

    In other words, if a woman is rebellious and rises up against him by not listening to him, he/she has three options. In yet another verse, 4:128, Yusufali translates “nushooz’ not as disloyalty/misconduct but as “desertion”

    Yusuf Ali : If a wife fears cruelty or desertion on her husband’s part, there is no blame on them if they arrange an amicable settlement between themselves; and such settlement is best; even though men’s souls are swayed by greed. But if ye do good and practice self-restraint, Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do.

    In this case, when woman fears “nushooz”- the verse doesn’t tell her to beat or spank but advises her to amicably arrange a settlement. JazakAllah

    The other word- “idriboohuna” which is derived from “daraba” has been translated as “beat them”. Whereas, “Daraba” means “to put forth/to go forth”.

    In this verse, “daraba” is not translated as “beat”. Qur’an- Verse 14:24

    Yusuf Ali : Seest thou not how Allah sets forth (daraba) a parable? – A goodly word like a goodly tree, whose root is firmly fixed, and its branches (reach) to the heavens, – of its Lord. So Allah sets forth parables for men, in order that they may receive admonition.

    Verse 24:31 states:

    “ …and let them put forth (yadribna) their shawals over their bosoms.”

    Verse 2:273

    “For the poor who face hardship in the cause of God, they cannot go forth (daraban) in the land..”

    Thus, wife beating is not allowed in Islam according to the Holy Qur’an. The Hadiths floating around about the Prophet (PBUH) beating his favorite wife, Aisha, cannot be trusted; they aren’t the word of God. In fact, the Qur’an actually asks the man to forgive the woman for her transgressions, a small reflection of Allah’s infinite mercy and compassion.

    Further proof is in the life of the Prophet (PBUH). He said in his last sermon:

    “Treat your women well and be kind to them, for they are your partners and committed helpers.”

    Before the advent of Islam in Arabia, the Arabs were burying their daughters alive; that was the extent of their ignorance. Fourteen hundred years on, many of these especially Muslim patriarchal societies have not changed much. They use misinterpreted verses from the Qur’an to justify keeping women repressed. In case of honor killings, they go utterly against the teachings of God. Some Muslims mistakenly think women are the source of evil, and must be treated harshly. They attribute this evil to Eve and how she caused Adam (PBHU) to sin. There is no verse in the Qur’an or Prophet’s sayings that verify that misinformation. In fact, it was Quintus Tertullianus (Tertullian in English), a well-known religious leader of the 3rd century of the Christian era, who spawned malicious attributes to women. “You are the devil’s gateway: you are the unsealer of that forbidden tree, you are the first deserters of the divine law, you are she who persuades him, whom the devil was not valiant enough to attack. You destroyed so easily God’s image: man,” Tertullian said of women. Of course, modern Christians have become enlightened and completely reject Tertullian’s ideas as barbaric; unfortunately the Muslim societies have adopted these poisonous views on women. Thus, these people are following Tertullianus and not Allah or Allah’s Prophet. Due to this misinformation, Islam is wrongfully viewed as a religion that keeps women as slaves for sexual gratification.

    Let’s look at these verses from the Qur’an that categorically state the equality of men and women:

    “…I will not waste the work of a worker among you, whether male or female, the one of you being from the other…” (Holy Qur’an, Chapter Al-Imran: Verse 195)

    “And whoever does some good deeds, be it a man or woman, and is a Muslim, will be admitted to Paradise and they will not be wronged (even as much as) the speck on a date seed.” (Holy Qur’an, Al-Nisa: 124)

    Then the Lord, Almighty Allah, has ordained equal rights for women. Why are these men and Muslim societies treating women so abominably as if they have gone back into the times of ignorance, before the advent of Islam?

    Why aren’t Muslim women rising and speaking up against oppression and injustice? Why is it that Muslim men who believe in equality and justice for women don’t speak up for them? Remember silence means your implicit approval of injustice in the name of Islam.

    As Muslims, we need to look simply at the life of the Prophet of Islam. He was employed by his beloved wife, Khadija. She was his boss. She was a successful businesswomen and the Prophet never stopped her from working. His wife Aisha (PBUH) is indeed proof that women can be far more learned than men. She was a forceful advocate of women’s rights. She fought battles on the back of camels and gave women a role and respect in society.

    Where are the Khadijas, Fatimas, and Aishas of the Muslim world? Unfortunately, they are being used and abused in the name of religion. Lend them a hand and they will rise up; they will fight for their rights.

    another was in ujjain —a shopkeeper brought a ganpati to his shop which was located near a mosque –the muslims took offence at this and a clashed with the shopkeeper
    These two small items speaks volumes for the muslim mind , their attitudes , their parochliasm and their mental equation —no doubt some like zia will have explanations but to a common man it is all about the muslim mind set which instills parochiliasm in them and iliberality towards others

    In Yoga it is said –

    - matter originates from Energy, energy is guided by thought

    So thoughts and ideas are promidially responsible for much of what is happening in the manifest world. In Islam’s context, all the evils of Islam can be traced back to Kuran (& Hadiths) and to Muhammad and his life, which muslims read all the time and try to emulate. It is not rocket science, but simple psychology – if you follow a man who is thief, after a while you will become thief yourself. So, following a man who was so violent and full of manipulation – what good can come out of that ?

    Kuran contains evil, distorted ideas and instructions, which spoils muslim minds – bit by bit, day by day & fills it with wrongdoings and evil. Their mental faculties are distorted and they don’t even realize it.

    Solution: Ban Kuran & declare Muhammad to be false prophet.

    Then read positive inspiring books which encourage integration, universalism, spirit of social service and ideas of love and friendship with all humans, animals and plants. Even inanimate objects.

    Terrorism, violence, poverty in muslim world and all other social problems will gradually stop. Your own personal lives as well as world as a whole will become much better

But Adi-bhagwan Valmiki gave her shelter in the forest.He made arrangements for education of her two sons.Her sons defeated Rama by force and Valmiki defeated Rama in dialogue .Sita suicided by jumping from a hill. .Rama also suicided by jumping in a river. ( Please read Valmiki ramayna for details ). The Aryans never have sympathy for Sita`s banishment.
    Brahma also tried his best to rape his own daughter . She run in four directions but the Brahma had four heads.Then she floated in the air . But father Brahma made his 5th head to watch her in the sky . At this Bhagwan Shiv ji estranged with Brahma and chopped off his 5th head .Who was right ? Our Bhagwan Shivji was right ! This proves that Bhagwan Shiv ji was an ancient feminist . The Aryan Bhagwan Brahma was totaly wrong .That is why the Aryans also have not a single Brahma temple except at Pushkar near Ajmer ( Rajasthan ) ! When will the Aryans also self impose ban on varna system created by the mischiveous Brahma which Dr. Ambedkar`s constitution banned ?
    Brahma also performed an havna jag in which his annoyed wife refused perspicuously to share it.Then his brother Indira abducted a yadva girl Gayatri to be wife of Brahma at the havan yag .Her father objected but he was compelled to leave that place.There is also a Gayatri mantra .
    There was an interesting write-up regarding a legal fight at the Ajmer ( Rajasthan ) courts between the priests of Brahma and his wife`s separate temples at Pushkar (Ajmer) published in the IndianExpress,Chandigarh edition dated 1st July 1997 ..The priest of Brahma temple filed a case in the court against the priest of Mrs.Brahma to claim the right on the offerings of Mrs. Brahma temple as according to Hindu law husband had right on wife`s property etc.. The priest of Mrs. Brahma temple gave proofs in the court that they divorced one another ! Therefore he has no right on Mrs. Brahma temple`s offerings ! How the Aryans exposed their own Bhagwan Brahma for money.
    Bhagwan Vishnu raped innocent and pious mata Varinda and murdered his husband Bhagwan Jalandhar founder of Jalandhar city (PB.) Please read the uttar khand of the Padam Purana ,the Jalandar Distt. Gazetter of Punjab govt.and watch a movie the Tulsi Vivah .There is mata Varinda mandir near Guru Ravidass High School ,Kishan pura Jalandar city.There is a ststue of Bhagwan Jalandar in the mata Baraaaaijeswari mandir at kangra ( HP ) and a JALANDAR BEACH ad DEO ( UT ) near Gujrat ! The Aryans never condemn the rapist Vishnu.His brother Indira also raped mata Ahillya wife of rishi Gautam ( Please read Valmiki Ramayna and Ramanand Sagar`s visual Ramayna.).They even worship rapist Vishnu and his incarnations They also worship Varinda as Tulsi wife of Vishnu.Varind cursed Vishnu that one day he will be woebegone in departure of your wife as I was on the departure of my husband Jalandar..They( Aryans)worship both the rapist Vishnu as well as the victim Varinda @ Tulsi.What a brilliant bent of mind of the Aryans ! The followers of rapist Vishnu dev created devdasi system to humiliate women of aboriginal Indians.They will call you a terrorist and will laugh at you because your good self is ready to annihilate the devdasi system.We are whith you in thes common cause because devdasis are our sisters and mothersReply

    Gems from Islam

    Sahih Bukhari

    62-27

    Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, “A woman is married for four things, i.e., her wealth, her family status, her beauty and her religion. So you should marry the religious woman (otherwise) you will be a losers.

    There is no room for love and affection in Islam–the woman is a sex object and her wealth is important, according to Moe.

    62-64

    Narrated ‘Aisha: that the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old, and then she remained with him for nine years (i.e., till his death).

    11-2141

    Narrated Abdullah ibn AbuDhubab: Iyas ibn Abdullah ibn AbuDhubab reported the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) as saying: Do not beat Allah’s handmaidens, but when Umar came to the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) and said: Women have become emboldened towards their husbands, he (the Prophet) gave permission to beat them. Then many women came round the family of the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) complaining against their husbands. So the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: Many women have gone round Muhammad’s family complaining against their husbands. They are not the best among you.

    11-2161

    Narrated AbuSa’id al-Khudri: A man said: Apostle of Allah, I have a slave-girl and I withdraw the penis from her (while having intercourse), and I dislike that she becomes pregnant. I intend (by intercourse) what the men intend by it. The Jews say that withdrawing the penis (azl) is burying the living girls on a small scale. He (the Prophet) said: The Jews told a lie. If Allah intends to create it, you cannot turn it away.

    not here that Moe has nothing against slavery. He approves of it. He does not tell the Muslim that slavery is wrong.

    No place like home: The millions of Americans living in long-stay motelsBy Daily Mail Reporter

    Last updated at 9:49 PM on 4th September 2011

    Comments (15) Add to My Stories Share They are known as the last resort. Millions of Americans are staying in budget long-stay motels as the country’s economic problems get worse.
    The grisly rooms are seen as the lowest of the U.S. housing ladder, only just above a cardboard box.

    In tiny rooms with paper-thin walls and nylon sheets, vulnerable Americans are making their homes for a few hundred bucks a month.

    Last resort: Brittney Nance walks her children past budget hotels on their way to the grocery store in West Sacramento, California.
    Many of the people taking advantage of the rock-bottom charges have been made redundant during the recession.

    The motels have strict rules. Drugs are banned, but alcohol is allowed.

    More…Her family hired me as a maid for 12 years, but then she stole my life and made it a Disney movie
    Man who met teenager at Salvation Army shoots her parents and kills himself after she said no to his date request

    Rent must be paid on time, but every 28 days guest must clear everything out of their rooms and check in again so as not break hotel licensing rules.

    There is no room service and guests have to clean their rooms and wash their own sheets.

    But the popularity of what should be temporary accommodation is apparently causing problems for police.

    Accommodation: The family stay in the motel room with most of their belongings

    Somewhere to stay: Brittney Nance watches her daughter Lillie, two, play out in front of their motel room
    Officers in Dickson, Tennessee, said there are motels there that have had the same people living in them for years.
    Police said the city’s two live-in motels are keeping them very busy and they have responded to almost 250 emergency calls between them in the past year.

    911 calls have included reports of assault, meth labs and recently even murder.

    ‘I’m sure it is the economy. A lot of people can’t afford their homes no more,’ Detective Sergeant James Lyell of the Dickson Police Department told local station News Channel 5.

    Chief Ricky Chandler believes the motel population is creating an unsafe environment.

    Food: Brittney Nance makes Sloppy Joes for her three children in their motel room

    Welcome: Sign outside the Hillcrest Motel, Sheffield, Alabama
    ‘It’s not like a regular motel where someone stops overnight and then leaves,’ he told the local station.

    ‘This brings in people, friends, relatives, etc. And when you bring those in, that potentially increases the problem.’

    From Al-Suyuti–tells you why Muslim men kill for their reward in heaven. Of course no 72 penises for women. So much for Islamic equality.

    Each time we sleep with a Houri in heaven we find her virgin. Besides, the penis of the Elected never softens. The erection is eternal; the sensation that you feel each time you make love is utterly delicious and out of this world and were you to experience it in this world you would faint. Each chosen one [i.e. Muslim] will marry seventy two houris, besides the women he married on earth, and all will have appetizing vaginas.

    The author says “To end this anarchy requires a ‘reboot’. I do not know what exactly it will take. But I know where to start: at the mosque and at homes.”
    The ending of this anarchy does not need a reboot but rewrite. The rewrite is needed for Quran and then for Hadiths (with special attention to the Book of Jihad). Throw out the Jihadi verses. Mosque or homes are the wrong place to start. It needs to be started from where the jihadi ideology is derived.
    Parallely, muslims need to stop looking upto Saudis and start focusing on integrating in the communities that they live in. Saudis get away with all of their radicalism as their nation runs a petro dollor surplus.

    GUJRAT ROIT WAS PREPLANNED.BOGEY WAS RESERVED ALL PASSENGERS ARE ALIVE.WHO WERE THOSE INSIDE.
    NEVERTHLESS SHRINE OF WALI GUJRATI WAS DEMOLISHED WITHIN HALF HOUR OF ACCIDENT.shows the truth.

    hindu fascists perpetuated roit almost every year since 1969.there was godhra then.

    HENCE I REQUEST U DR DONT SPREAD THE LIES.STUDY THE CASE AGAIN.

    The destruction of a disused Babri masjid followed a thousand year period of destruction of thousands of temples by muslim kings.

    please tell me name one big temple.somnath was looted by mahmood of ghaznavi with the help of local competitive brhmns who took good cut.neverthless this looting was good for thousands of indians who got job in afghanistan while he used the wealth to make ghazni,the most beautiful city of world.

    BEST OF HINDU TEMPLES WERE BUILT DURING MUSLIM RULE.

    mr zalota,

    anna supporter sri sri,

    THE ‘GURU of joy’ Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has been found guilty of encroaching more than five acres of government land worth Rs 50 crore in Karnataka. The land meant to be distributed to the poor and landless has been illegally acquired by Sri Sri, who has constructed an Art of Living meditation centre on it, violating the law.

    Whistleblower ACICM convenor M Lakshmana

    Even though the Mysore Urban Development Authority (MUDA) wanted to fine ‘Guruji’ and had asked for the demolition of the building, a timely intervention by former chief minister BS Yeddyurappa has saved the Art of Living Foundation from facing legal action.

    According to documents obtained by TEHELKA, MUDA had acquired 100 acres at Alanahalli village near Mysore in 1985, ’92 and ’97 for the development of residential colonies for 1.5 lakh landless poor. Out of the 100 acres notified by MUDA, 70 were developed and the rest was denotified and restored to the original owners.

    “The land that Sri Sri acquired was left as a buffer zone and not developed as a residential layout as it allowed for the free flow of water from Chamundi Hills to Alanahalli tank. It was supposed to be converted into a botanical park,” says M Lakshmana of the Association of Concerned and Informed Citizens of Mysore.

    However, in 2002, the land was acquired by the Art of Living through a proxy by the name of R Raghu, even when the land was in the possession of MUDA. And a building was constructed for conducting yoga and meditation classes.

    Taking note of this, on 20 December last year, the then Deputy Commissioner of Mysore Harsh Gupta wrote to MUDA directing it to reclaim the government land from the Art of Living, and sought a response within seven days. Following the order, MUDA wrote to the tehsildar instructing him to serve a notice to Art of Living. The tehsildar’s office did so on 4 January, stating that the building constructed at Alanahalli was illegal and slapped a fine of Rs 1,000 on the organisation as per the Karnataka Land Revenue Act, 1964.

    Apart from this penalty, Art of Living was given two days time to demolish the building, failing which the department would clear the encroachment and slap an additional fine of Rs 25 per day.

    Shunted out of the deputy commissioner’s post, Gupta, now assistant director of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, says, “During my tenure, a survey was being conducted of the 1,500 acres of government land. And wherever discrepancies were found, notices and orders were issued. During that survey, we found out that the Art of Living had encroached upon five acres of government land.”

    Gupta’s orders were not carried out. The same day, a letter from the chief minister’s office signed by Principal Secretary ISN Prasad prevented the deputy commissioner and the taluka administration from carrying out its duties.

    The Yeddyurappa regime let Art of Living construct buildings on the encroached land

    The letter instructed the district and taluka administration against demolishing the Art of Living building on survey No. 41/F block (P6) in Alanahalli, saying, “The chief minister will take a decision on it.” However, Yeddyurappa did not bother to take any decision and the Art of Living continued construction activities on the land.

    “It was done to stop the precipitate action,” says Prasad. An Art of Living delegation had met Yeddyurappa and he had asked the district administration to refrain from action till a further decision is taken.

    “That didn’t happen due to various reasons. But the current Chief Minister DV Sadananda Gowda will call a meeting with all the local officials,” says Prasad.

    Responding to the claims, Karthik Krishna of the Art of Living’s bureau of communication says, “Since 2003, we have been working to denotify this land that was falsely notified to extract a bribe, which we fought tooth and nail and were also slapped with a fine.”

    The Art of Living has not encroached on any land, he says. The 5-acre plot was purchased by R Raghu from Gangu Belli Belliappa on 25 November 2002. Since then, the premises have been utilised with the permission of the landlord for conducting yoga and meditation classes, says Krishna.

    Artful Grabbers?

    The Art of Living Foundation is alleged to have grabbed land at many places in Karnataka

    Rs 8 cr

    “This is not the first time a case of land-grab has been brought against the Art of Living,” says Lakshmana. In Mandya district, the organisation has been accused of grabbing 20 acres. And a 2006 report on government land encroachments in the state had also found discrepancies in its Bengaluru ashram. In Mysore, apart from the five acres of government land, the Art of Living has encroached around seven acres worth Rs 70 crore near the tourist spot of Chamundi Hills.

    V Balasubramaniam, former chairman of Land Task Force, says the AT Ramaswamy Committee report had found that the organisation had encroached upon 6.35 acres of government land in Agara village in Kengeri, Bengaluru. The committee claimed that the land encroached by the Art of Living was worth more than Rs 8 crore.

    Lakshmana has filed a criminal complaint against Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and Yeddyurappa. “I have also lodged a complaint with the state Human Rights Commission, asking how a high-flying organisation like the Art of Living could obtain a site when poor and landless people are waiting for the past 30 years,” says Lakshmana

    I do not want to enter into religious discussions. But the author is right. america should not have spent so much money to attack the terrorists. There are two options. 1) They should have declared huge amont to capture all important leaders. I do not know if all people in these countries kill theselves or kill all terrorists as a shame. 2) They should have experimented new nukes like neutron bombs. Since neither case is accceptable to either Iraq or Afghanstan, I think Americans have no option. It is true in all religions there are terrorists, but how come the muslims, who dominated and killed many people till 16 th century are now producing large number of terrorists? America has discovered this long back and uses it as a pretext to start wars where there is gold black or any colour.

    LONDON (AP) — The wife of the Muslim suicide bomber who targeted Christmas shoppers in Stockholm has been arrested by police in Britain.

    When asked if Mona Thwany, the 28-year-old wife of Taimour Abdulwahab, had been arrested, police read a statement confirming that a 28-year-old woman had been detained.

    Abdulwahab, an Iraqi-born Muslim who naturalized as a Swede and who studied at a British university, killed himself and injured two others when he detonated explosives in a crowded shopping street in December.

    London police said officers detained the Muslim woman at her home in Luton — a small city close to London — and searched two properties.

    Police said she was arrested early Tuesday on suspicion of carrying out preparatory acts for a terrorist attack.

    She was released on police bail until November.

Why use a Hindu name ? because that’s what muslims do… they are manipulative and cheating, masqurading and misconstruing is part of their education (as taught in Quran and Hadiths, as per the examples set by their so called “prophet”)

    Muslims also believe that:

    - Muhammad was the ‘last prophet’ & – Muhammad was the ‘ideal man’

    Not just that they can call such a degenerate mass murderor, cheat and pedophile a ‘prophet’, but also want to stop any future prophets from emerging…

    What is REALLY stopping evil is God (not ‘Allah’, which reallly is just Muhammad’s alter-ego, but God) and God will be responsible for wiping out evil – including Islam…

    During Mahabharata righteousness fought evil but there was such a widespread destruction that not on;y evil was wiped out, but much of the righteous were also wiped out… society feels a void of such righteousness to this date..

    .. there will again be a worldwide Mahabharat… but this time one evil will fight another evil (Matter centered philosophies such as Capitalism and dogma centered philosophies such as Islam) and they will wipe each other out and righteousness (God centered philosophies such as universal humanism) will continue to grow…

    The sanction slapped on Indian Mujahideen by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sends a very clear message to the world that the US considers this to be an international terrorist organization.

    So says the Indian media.

    But the rest of us have been not surprised.

    The founder of mullahism, aka Muhammadanism, aka Islam, was terrorist who did not hesitate to murder even innocent poetesses if they threatened his goonda rule. he even killed 10 year old boys because he considered them adults, members of a Jewish tribe.

    What Muslims are doing is following the sunnah of the founding mullah of Islam, Muhammad bin Abdallah.

    India missing from international rankings scene
    Kanika Tandon, Hindustan Times
    New Delhi, September 13, 2011First Published: 12:10 IST(13/9/2011)

    India does not appear in the Top 200 of the recently released QS World University Rankings. Even as the US and the UK continue to dominate the international rankings scene, India’s highest-ranked institution IIT-Delhi stands at 218th position – 16 places down from last year’s 202nd place.

    The UK claimed five of the top 20 places this year, including the top rank. Cambridge University maintained its slender advantage over Harvard to be the world’s number one university for the second time in a row. Oxford (5) moved up one rank followed by Imperial College London (6) and University College London (7). The University of Edinburgh (20) moved up two places this year.

    Although several top US institutions have been hit by reduced endowments and budget restrictions, its supremacy continues with 13 of the US universities featuring in the top 20, six of them in the top 10. Apart from Harvard, the other five US universities among the Top 10 are: MIT (3), Yale University (4), University of Chicago (8), University of Pennsylvania (9) and Columbia University (10).

    The monopoly of the US and the UK in the top 20 is only briefly interrupted by the presence of Canada and Switzerland. McGill University of Canada climbed up two places from 19th rank in 2010 to 17th position in 2011. Switzerland’s ETH Zurich maintained its 18th rank this year as well.

    This neck-to-neck competition between the US and the UK is not replicated when India’s performance is compared with other Asian countries. While India is yet to secure a place in the top 200, other Asian countries such as China, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan sit comfortably among the Top 100 of the rankings table, led by University of Hong Kong (22) and University of Tokyo (25).

    Indian universities have disappointed this year. All the universities – including the star performers of the country, the IITs –have dropped down several ranks.

    IIT-Delhi (was ranked 202, now ranks 218); IIT-Bombay (was 187, now 225); IIT-Madras (was 262, now 281); IIT-Kanpur (was 249-306); IIT-Kharagpur (was 311, now 341); IIT-Roorkee (was 428, now 438) and IIT-Guwahati (was 501, now 563). The other universities have followed suit – University of Delhi (was 371, now 398); University of Mumbai (was 493, now 578); University of Calcutta (was 506, now 649) and University of Pune (was 578, now 661).

    India’s weak points? The lack of quality research and internationalisation. But this time, the fall in the rankings is escalated by the fall in all the universities’ academic reputation. The employer reputation of IIT-Bombay, IIT-Kanpur, IIT-Kharagpur, IIT-Guwahati and universities of Mumbai, Calcutta and Pune has slid backwards too. For the academic and employer ratings, inputs from as many as 33,000 academics and 16,785 employers from more than 130 countries were taken by QS, the largest surveys of their kind ever conducted

    Muslims are losing respect from non-Muslims day by day. There are several reasons, some since 9/11 , others before 9/11.

    1. Perception is often reality and the perception of Muslims among non-Muslims is that generally they are aggressive, given to violence and not honest. When challenged about their lack of integrity they react en masse claiming Islamphobia.

    2. 9/11 was carried out by Muslims. many Muslims collaborated including entire governments in Muslim countries. Since 9/11 Muslims have tried to blame others–Hindus, Jews, the US government. For Muslims it is never the fault of Muslims.

    3. All other religions have taken a hard look at their scriptures and decided that the books are of human origins. Therefore any customs that were based on the scriptures that are harmful to society must be legislated out of existence. Example the caste system in Hinduism.

    Muslims are still claiming that the Quran is the word of Allah, the Arabic idol that they claim is God.
    The Quran is a mediocre and a harmful book that poisons the minds of Muslims. Yet Muslims are unwilling to make reforms.

    The Jewel of Medina is a book that was recently written by a journalist called Sherry Jones. It recounts the life of Aisha, a child who was married off at the age of six to a 53-year-old man called Muhammad bin Abdallah, the founder of Islam. This is true story which has been described in the hadiths and in the Sirats(biographies).

    On her wedding day, Aisha was playing on a see-saw outside her home. Inside, she was being betrothed. The first she knew of it was when she was banned from playing out in the street with the other children. When she was nine, she was taken to live with her husband, now 56. He had sex with her, a mere child. When she was 14, she was accused of adultery with a man closer to her own age. Not long after, Muhammad decreed that his wives must cover their faces and bodies, even though no other women in Arabia did.

    The man Muhammad bin Abdallah became known to Muslims as “the Prophet Muhammad”, so our ability to explore this story is stunted. The Jewel of Medina was bought by Random House and primed to be a best-seller – before a University of Texas teacher saw proofs and declared it “a national security issue”. Random House had visions of a re-run of the Rushdie or the Danish cartoons affairs. Sherry Jones’s publisher has pulped the book. It’s gone.

    In Europe, they are finally abolishing the lingering blasphemy laws that hinder criticism of Christianity. But they are being succeeded by a new blasphemy law preventing criticism of Islam – enforced not by the state, but by Muslims. The right to criticize religion is as precious – and hard-won – as the right to criticize government. We have to use it or lose it.

    Some people will instantly ask: why bother criticizing religion if it causes so much hassle? The answer is: look back at European history.

    How did Christianity lose its ability to terrorize people with phantasms of sin and Hell? How did it stop spreading shame about natural urges – pre-marital sex, masturbation or homosexuality?

    Because critics pored over the religion’s stories and found gaping holes of logic or morality in them. They asked questions. How could an angel inseminate a virgin? Why does the Old Testament God command his followers to commit genocide? How can a man survive inside a whale?

    Reinterpretation and ridicule crow-barred Christianity open.

    Ask enough tough questions and faith is inevitably pushed farther and farther back into the misty realm of metaphor – where it is less likely to inspire people to kill and die for it.

    But doubtful Muslims are being prevented from following this path. They cannot ask: what does it reveal about Muhammad that he married a young child, or that he massacred a tribe of Jews who refused to follow him and then stole their land and property?

    You don’t have to murder many Theo Van Goghs or pulp many Sherry Joneses to intimidate the rest. The greatest censorship is internal: it is in all the books that will never be written and all the films that will never be shot, because we are afraid.

    We need to acknowledge the double-standard – and that it will cost Muslims in the end.

    Insulating a religion from criticism – surrounding it with an electric fence called “respect” – keeps it stunted at its most infantile and fundamentalist stage. The smart, questioning and instinctively moral Muslims – a significant minority – learn to be silent, or are shunned (at best). What would Christianity be like today if George Eliot, Mark Twain and Bertrand Russell had all been pulped? Take the most revolting rural Alabama church, and metastasise it.

    What would Hinduism be if Gandhi, Raja Ram Mohan Roy and more did not have the courage to force reform by using their moral weight on Hindus?

    Since Jones had brought it up in public, let us look at Muhammad’s marriage to Aisha as a model for how we can conduct this conversation. It is true those were different times, and it may have been acceptable for old men to have sex with prepubescent girls in Arabia. But whatever culture you live in, having sex when your body is not physically developed can be an excruciatingly painful experience.

    Among Vikings, it was more normal than today to have your arm chopped off, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t agony. If anything, Jones’s book whitewashes this, suggesting that Muhammad’s “gentleness” meant Aisha enjoyed it. Even Muslims pussyfoot the issue–in one hadith Aisha describes how Muhammad used only coitus interruptus on her till she turned 11 and then he went to live with his latest concubine, Maria.

    The story of Aisha also prompts another fundamentalist-busting discussion. You cannot say that Muhammad’s decision to marry a young girl has to be judged by the standards of his time, and then demand that we follow his moral standards to the letter. Either we should follow his example literally, or we should critically evaluate it and choose for ourselves. Discussing this contradiction inevitably injects doubt – the mortal enemy of fanaticism.

    So why do many people turn into clucking Mary Whitehouses when it comes to Islam? If a book about Gandhi or Krishna was being dumped into the Ganga because the RSS might object, we would be enraged.

    One reason authors hesitate to expose Islam is fear: the image of Theo Van Gogh lying on a pavement crying “Can’t we just talk about this?” Of course we rationalise it, by asking: does one joke, one column, one novel make much difference? No. But cumulatively? Absolutely.

    There are enough Muslims secure enough to deal with some tough questions. It is condescending to treat all Muslims like excitable children who cannot cope with the probing, mocking treatment we hand out to Hinduism, Christianity, Judaism and Buddhism. It is perfectly consistent to protect Muslims from bigotry while challenging the bigotries and absurdities within their holy texts.

    There is now a pincer movement trying to silence critical discussion of Islam. To one side, fanatics threaten to kill you; to the other, critics call you “Islamophobic”. But consistent and honest criticism is not wrong. On the contrary: it treats all people as mature adults who can cope with rational questions. When we pulp books out of fear of fundamentalism, we are decapitating the most precious freedom we have.

    We owe it to humanity, especially young Muslims to crow-bar open Islam. Some of the tough questions we must ask:

    1. Could the great God have cause such a mediocrity as the Quran to be written? Is the Quran an insult to God?

    2. Would God choose a man like Muhammad to be his last prophet? A man who had sexual relations with mere children, massacred and robbed entire tribes of unarmed Jews?

    3. Could a good man Order the murder of innocent poetesses such as Asma bint Marwan? Muhammad did.

    4. Could God have commanded such foolish customs such as the Ramdan skipping of lunch, the wasteful hajj, the burkha, the beard, the killing of non-Muslims?

    Hopefully responsible Muslims will ask these questions first instead of waiting for non-Muslims to use the crowbar.

    jai khosla like any other u are master of fiction writing repeating ur bullshit which has no historical proof ,is bundle of half truth and untruth,lately i read a book by great indian philospher who says,

    Kancha Ilaiah’s book ‘why I am not a Hindu’, should be made a textbook in all the colleges and universities all over the world. This is the most highly scholarly book on religion. Even Bertrand Russel’s book ‘Why I am not a christian’ is nothing in comparison because Bertrand russell was very superficial. Christianity is a great religion and Bertrand russel gives superficial reasons about why he is not a christian. Bertrand Rusel was also influenced by zionists. There is enough proof on that and we at Dalit Nation are doing research and will be publishing a paper soon.
    When the editor first read Kancha Iliah, immediately we realised that this book is next only to Dr. Ambedkar’s ‘Annhilation of caste’. But it is also different because Kancha talks of his experiences as a Kuruma the shepherd caste. How the shepherds had so much knowledge of different ways to breed and look after sheep. The Brahmins know nothing of all this. Yet they rule the people. Since the editor is also from the weaver caste we can understand and sympathise with Kancha iliaiah.
    How brahmins have taken away our gods is still a shame. When pocchamma’s festivals are celebrated how we dalits sacrifice and offer what we love to eat. We sacrifice buffalos and sprinkle the blood of the buffalos and cook them and eat them. We also drink toddy and sing and dance all night. Why should we dalits learn the classical music popularised by these brahmins. All their arts like bharatanatyan and classical music has only survived because of the Devadasis. The uncultured brahmins dont even know how to sing and dance properly and they call us uncultured. They offer bananas and coconuts to their gods but our gods need meat. Because our gods eat what we dalit bahujans eat. The barbaric brahmins wants to prevent us from sacrificing animals. They want to kill our culture. The brahmins dont know that they were also meat eaters 2000 years ago. They became vegetarian only to conquer Buddhists. The Buddhists were fooled by newly converted vegetarian Brahmins and thought that they are non violent and slowly Brahmins absorbed Buddhists. The Brahmins can go to any extent even change their diet to enjoy their monopoly. The brahmins have also influenced the christian missionaries to preach against animal sacrifice. Shame on them.
    In Kancha’s childhood he never saw any Brahmin children in the fields. There were only his own caste people. Where were these brahmin children at that time. They were probably hiding in their houses eating food all the time and chanting the stupid mantras. The brahmins have no contact with nature. They dont touch mud and dont know anything about plants and animals. Still they call themselves intelligent. Kancha has clearly exposed the Brahmins with regards to sex education. The Brahmins never talk of sex in their homes. They act as if sex does not exist. The brahmin children have no clue about sex unlike we dalits. As dalits we are taught sex education in our houses but for Brahmin children they dont even know about birds and bees.
    Brahmins also treat their own children as untouchable. Brahmin mothers dont touch their own children and brahmin mothers also dont love their children. What a horrible people these brahmins are. Kancha clearly exposes all these things. The world should know these things. How the brahmin treats women and widows are so inhuman. They just light a fire and burn the widows after the death of the husband. Why are they not booked for murder when they do this.
    Kancha completely exposes the gods of the brahmins, even the godess of learning saraswathi is an illiterate. How come brahmins dont allow woment to study. Their gods are all violent rama who killed dalits like shambuka and the ravana. Krishna who was a master of deceit. Krishna also studied chanakya’s arthashastra and vatsyayana’s Kamasutra. He mastered them.
    The brahmin gods are all symbols to destroy the oppressed. The brahmans say ‘aham brahmasmi’ which means everything belongs to me. Why should we give everything to brahmins our women, the products from the toil. The bagvad gita and upanishads are books which will put mein kampf to shame. Bagvad Gita asks the upper caste pandavas to kill their cousins the lower caste kauravas. Kancha clearly exposes the hypocrisy of the Mahabharatha.
    These books like Bhagavad Gita should be banned. Even people who discovered atom bomb were influenced by bhagwad gita. All of them were jews. Einstien and Opphenhiemer were influenced by bhagvad gita. They are extremely dangerous books and they used it to kill millions of people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. The Japanese should ask compensation from the Brahmins and Jews because it is they who created the destruction of the two cities.
    The brahmin manu created the manusmrithi and without any political power the brahmins ruled us. Even when muslims and the british were ruling india the brahmins were ruling us. Surely they are extremely crafty. The most cunning people on earth. They dont own lands and they dont have power all they know is some mantras and then they mesmerize people and rule them. Kancha surely exposes all of them.
    Their time is coming to an end. We dalit bahujans are now coming together and with sister mayavathi is now the chief minister of UP. She will be the prime minister of India in the next elections. We dalits should stop reading all the other nonsense these brahmins and their media talk about and read Kancha’s book. It will surely make you understand how evil the hindu religion is. Like Kancha we at Dalit Nation are also closely working with the Christian Missions. We should not waste the funds that we get for personal things but use them to destroy Hinduism. Because only then we can have peace and justice. How long can this atrocities continue.
    This books should be read by everyone and it should be given the Nobel prize. But the Nobel prize is completely controlled by the zionists. The hypocrites will never give Nobel Prize to Kancha Ilaiah

    Americans are being hammered economically, politically and socially. Paul Craig Roberts quoted Vladimir Putin calling America “a parasite on the world.”

    PR manipulators present a virtuous image. Roberts said “Putin understated the burden that America is on the world. How much longer will (it) put up with” our virtuosity?

    Death, destruction, and global economic wrecking defines its agenda. Libya at peace became a hellish charnel house. Mainstream Americans suffer greatly in deepening Depression.

    Political Washington fattens itself on campaign cash, hanging out to dry struggling millions. Trends analyst Gerald Celente says it’s time for direct democracy – “tak(ing) power out of the hands of politicians and put(ting) into the hands of the people.”

    With their own self-interest at stake, bet on them getting it right. With politicians on the take, they do it only for fat cat contributers, and the bigger the bribe, the more they get
