14th Annual Seminar on International Cooperation in Combating Terrorism

Dear Mr. Swetnam:

Thank you for inviting our group for the 14th Annual Seminar on International Cooperation in Combating Terrorism held at Washington, D.C. on February 2, 2012. We are beholden to you and your organization.

In this connection, however, we would like to convey some points to you about our impressions regarding the Seminar.

The distinguished speakers no doubt spoke about terrorism. But, to our dismay and astonishment, in order to be politically correct, they did not pin point specific responsibility on anyone! The intellectuals, academics and government officials had no clear message to convey. It looked to us as though the leaders either were baffled and confused, merely eager to show their scholarship in the field of terrorism studies, not wanting to offend any parties, or all three. Not much in the way of operational or action oriented suggestions came out of the conference.

The Islamists would have gleefully enjoyed the non-comprehension and cluelessness of “Infidel” leaders regarding Quran, Hadith and Surah. Because of fear of reproach or violent reaction from Jihadists they were sugar coating the blunt truth and acting like sophomores.

A cursory glance at the history of terrorism will clearly indicate the fact that most of the terrorist activities, at least 95% of them, all over the world in the last 50 years have been and are being conducted by the adherents of Islam and trained Islamic terrorists..

The World Trade Center in New York, Beslan in Russia, Bali in Indonesia, Madrid in Spain, London, Mumbai, Godhra Railway Station in India, India’s Parliament Complex in New Delhi, Thailand and Philippine – these were all cases of global Muslim terrorism.

In Sudan, Jihad was declared and approximately two and half million Christians were butchered by Islamists.

Boko Haram, an Islamic organization in Nigeria, is believed to be responsible for killing and maiming hundreds of people.

Many of the Islamic nations agree on the point that Israel should be wiped out from the face of the map.

Somali Jihadists and The Islamist al-Shabab militia who are slaughtering people like goats in Mogadishu are all the followers of Islam.

There is a wholesale attack and murder of Coptic Christians in Egypt by the Islamic Brotherhood.

Last month, 40 Islamic extremist organizations held three big public meetings in Pakistan. In Multan, Lahore and Karachi somewhere between 50,000 to 100,000 jihadists vigorously participated in each meeting. They vowed to break India into pieces, kill Americans and wipe out Israel.

Hindus and Sikhs have been ethnically cleansed from Pakistan by radical Islamists since the founding of the state. Millions of Hindus have been forcibly converted to Islam and / or forced to flee from Bangladesh. More than half a million Hindus have been forcibly driven from the Indian state of Kashmir by Deobandi / Barelvi / Salafist / Wahhabi Islamic terrorists.

We should clearly understand that the aim of these terrorists is not to merely kill and maim innocent people. Their collective and sinister goal is to frighten ordinary citizens into submission, occupy their country, Islamaize it and then establish Khalifat (rule of Allah) all over the world. They rely on certain ayats (articles) from the Koran that explicitly advocate such an action.

We believe that the purpose of the Seminar was not served properly. In spite of voluminous and irrefutable evidence that radical Islamists and their religious teachings are the root cause of terrorism, it did not make any serious attempt to identify them and or suggest solutions or approaches to this dangerous problem.

It looked to us that the experts were groping in the dark for some sort of solution to this endemic disease, without offending anyone. We are sadly mistaken if we believe that by killing some terrorists here and there, we can solve this knotty problem. We have to be bold enough to identify our enemies clearly, and then go after their jugular vein. This is the only language that terrorists understand.

One more thing which we would like to bring to your attention is that we should never confuse the individual criminal behavior of people like Timothy McVeigh in Oklahoma with well orchestrated, ideologically driven, collectively organized, and massively funded acts by Islamic states like Pakistan, Iran and Saudi Arabia.

Our future generations will not forgive us for our disingenuous intellectual gymnastics aimed at avoiding the real issue for reasons of political correctness – shades of Neville Chamberlain when addressing the Nazi threat in relation to Poland.

Terrorism, specifically Islamic terrorism is a very serious issue affecting the lives of billions of human beings on this earth. We cannot afford to act like dainty dilettantes.

If such a renowned and reputable think tank like Potomac Institute hesitates to call out the root cause of terrorism and cannot / will not come up with solid solutions to tackle the same – only God can save us!

Best regards,

Narain Kataria
President

Communal Violence Bill 2011 - Malafide in Intent

COMMUNAL VIOLENCE BILL 2011 – MALAFIDE IN INTENT, MISCHIEVOUS IN CONTENT, DIABOLICAL IN DESIGN AND CALCULATED TO DESTROY HINDUS IN INDIA

Narain Kataria in New York

President, Indian American Intellectuals Forum

The bill titled ”Prevention of Communal and Targeted Violence Bill – 2011” has been drafted under the leadership of UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi.  It will soon be tabled in Parliament for approval.

The bill divides Indian society in two parts: “Group” (minority community comprised of Christians and Muslims) and “Others” (majority community, meaning Hindus).  This bill assumes that “Others”, the majority community of India (Hindus) are habitual perpetrators of violence and the ”Group” (Muslims and Christians) are the victims.  

On the contrary, study after study has proven that Muslims have instigated many of the communal violence incidents in India.  Several of these studies have been by independent and renowned juridical authorities of unimpeachable integrity.  To cite an instance, Justice Tewatia’s “indisputable” report clearly states the attacks on Sabarmati Express at Godhra station on February 27, 2002 were pre-planned by a Muslim mob in which 58 Hindu women and children were roasted alive.  (http://www.jaia-bharati.org/nicole-elfi/ni-godhra-ang.htm).

This bill has been drafted by National Advisory Council (NAC).  The Advisory committee is a nominated body and has no constitutional status.  The stated purpose of the Bill is to address the question of communal violence in the country but the extremely insidious agenda is to communalize Indian polity, create hatred against Hindus, destroy communal harmony, demonize Hindus and convert Hindus either to Christianity or Islam.

This bill seeks to perpetuate a fraud on the majority Hindu community of India.  The bill’s target is implicit and sub rosa the Hindu community of India.  The bill subliminally propagates abhorrence against Hindus.

Amongst the exceptionally biased and one-sided provisions of the bill are:

· If a case is registered against a Hindu, he has to prove his innocence.

· This law is applicable only when the victim is the “Group” that is, a Muslim or a Christian.

· During the trial, the court may issue orders to attach the property of the accused Hindu.

· The victim will be granted financial compensation within 30 days.

· If a Hindu loses property, is humiliated or boycotted, this law would not apply.

· If any Hindu publishes, communicates, disseminates, broadcasts, advertises by words, either spoken or written, news about communal violence he would be prosecuted for hate propaganda.

· Under this bill, if a Muslim or a Christian complains against any Hindu leader or organization that his/her feelings have been offended, that person/organization would be hauled up.

· Hindus would be prosecuted by “Communal Harmony Authority” to be set up at the state and central levels with seven members each, of which four including chairman and deputy chairman should be from the minority communities.

· All the crimes mentioned under this law are non-bailable.

High Court Advocate, P.P. Hegde has termed the bill as “dreadful”. Mr. Hegde has compared this bill to the imposition of jaziya (tax on infidels) on Hindus and Sikhs during Islamic rule in India. BJP has described it as “dangerous”. Jaya Lalitha, Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu finds this bill as “Fascist”. Mamta Banerjee, Chief Minister of West Bengal; Mayawati, Chief Minister of U.P.; and several other Chief Ministers have vehemently criticized it. None of the Opposition Parties or Hindu leaders have been consulted in this regard.

The names of the principal members of the drafting and advisory committee are as under:

·        Najmi Waziri,

·        P.I.Jose,

·        Teesta Setalvad,

·        Farah Naqvi,

·        Abusaleh Shariff,

·        Asgar Ali Engineer,

·        John Dayal,

·        Justice Hosbet Suresh,

·        Kamal Faruqui,

·        Manzoor Alam,

·        Maulana Niaz Farooqui,

·        Ram Puniyani,

·        Shabnam Hashmi,

·        Sister Mary Scaria,

·        Syed Shahabuddin,

·        Aruna Roy,

·        Anu Aga,

·        Farah Naqvi,

·        Harsh Mander, and

·        Maja Daruwala.

Almost all of them are either Christians, Muslims or rabid anti-Hindu Leftists. From their past actions, most of them seem to have been born with an animus against the Hindu ethos.  They are notorious for their hate mongering proclivity against Hindus.  They are either explicit or closet supporters of violence and discrimination against peaceable and tolerant Hindus.

In India, the Hindu population is more than 80%.  Hinduism is renowned in the world as a religion of tolerance and benevolence towards other religious faiths for thousands of years.  It is a part of the central doctrines of Sanatana Dharma aka Hinduism.  As a testament, we can point out that minorities are today governing India.

UPA Chairperson Sonia (Antonia Maino) Gandhi is a devout, professing Catholic.  She is of Italian origin and she is a naturalized citizen of India.  At marriage, she insisted that her husband Rajiv Gandhi convert to Christianity and that her children be raised as a Christian/Catholic.  Unfortunately, Sonia Gandhi has understood little of the Hindu culture of amity, tolerance, and ecumenism.  Her son Rahul Gandhi is reported to have told the American ambassador Timothy Roemer in 2009 that India is facing a greater terror threat from radical Hindu groups than from Muslim militant 5^th columnists.  Both, Sonia and Rahul seem to suffer from an acute case of Hindu phobia; their mindset is unwavering in trying to suffocate and suppress Hindus legally in India.  The aim of this draconian bill is to achieve that goal.

It is interesting to note that Sonia Maino Gandhi’s advisors and ministers are almost all either Christians or Muslims.  A.K. Anthony, Defense Minister; Salman Khurshid, Law Minister; Gulam Nabi Azad, Health Minister; Ahmed Patel, Seniormost Political Advisor; Margaret Alva, Governor of Uttarakhand; and Anil Kumar Brown, also known as "Charlie" Browne, Chief of Air Staff are amongst the most notables. According to http://www.hinduwisdom.info/Glimpses_XVI7.htm, even Ambika Soni, the current Information and Broadcasting Minister of India who sports a big tilak on her forehead like Sonia and Rahul, and whose name sounds like a Hindu is also a Christian. “She is also widely crticized for arm-twisting the media, and trying to gag it”. Five chief ministers in Nagaland, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Kerala and Arunachal Pradesh are also devout Christians.

The noose is being tightened on Hindus.  The situation for Hindus in India, in short, can be described as abysmally apocalyptic even though it is the majority religion of India.  Once this bill is enacted in Parliament, a precariously perilous situation will arise for Hindus.  Hindus must scrutinize and examine the threat emanating from this fraudulent bill.  This bill is downright dangerous for the unity and integrity of India.

It is essential that we should immediately unleash a propaganda blitz in print and electronic media, highlighting the disastrous and deleterious impact the Communal Violence Bill will have on the body politic of India and its majority Hindu civilization.

The survival of Hindus is at stake.  Our future generation will not forgive us if we just succumb under pressure and keep watching from sidelines as a spectator or act like a referee.  We should wake up from the deep slumber, stop internal squabbles, learn to work in unison, and come up with a solid strategy to get rid of anti-Hindu UPA government.

SPEECH DELIVERED BY NARAIN KATARIA AT THE RALLY ORGANIZED BY EAGLESWINGS ON SEPTEMBER 21, 2011

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzj55Hbi_6I&feature=youtu.be&hd=1  (video)

Dear Brothers and Sisters: Sholom:

In the first instance, let me express my gratitude to the organizers of this Rally for having given me an opportunity to express my views. I really feel honored.

We American Hindus are here today to express our support to Eagleswings; and solidarity withIsrael. We should understand in unambiguous terms that Durban III conference by the UN is being used as a strategy by Islamists to condemn, demonize and vilify Israel. We will not allow their mean and mendacious desire to be fulfilled.

This same ploy is also being used by Islamists to pressurize the United Nations to declare caste system in India which was originally based on profession, as a racist system.

I am the survivor of the Partition of India in which more than one million Hindus and Sikhs were killed by Radical Islamists and more than 10 million Hindu and Sikh people were forcibly converted to Islam, driven out of Pakistan, and finally ethnically cleansed. I have seen with my own eyes the reign of repression let loose by Radical Islamists. I have seen with my own eyes our women being raped and people being murdered in the broad day light in connivance with Islamic government. Dear brothers and sisters, I have seen the true face of Radical Islam. Believe me, terrorism is the greatest threat to the humanity.

Islamists have already slaughtered tens of thousands of Hindus, Sikhs, Jews, Christians, Sudanese, Buddhists, Baha'i, Ahmadias, Balochis, and even their own Muslims.

They are funded by Saudi Arabia and militarily trained by Pakistan’s spy agency ISI. After training in terrorist camps, they are sent all over the world to kill infidels – those who do not believe in Prophet Mohammed, Allah and Kuran. The situation is indeed fraught with dangerous consequences.

Global onslaught by Radical Islam with Israelbeing only one of the canaries in the mine, is going on all over the world. Bali, Madrid, Mumbai, Thailand, Philippine, New York, Beslan in Russiaand New Delhi are the victims of terrorism. Terrorists are killing our soldiers in Pakistan,Afghanistan and Iraq.

The sinister aim of the Radical Islam is to isolateIsrael, India and America. Hence, we have to be careful so that we do not fall into their trap.

In addition to that Hindus in Kashmir and Bangladesh, Coptic Christians in Egypt, Christians in Bethlehem and Iraq, Maronites in Lebanon, Kurds in Turkey and Syria, and Southern Sudanese are being slaughtered by Radical Islamists.

We support this Rally and join with you in sending our clear message to the United Nations that we will never accept the policies of capitulation and appeasement that undermine the fight against Radical Islam.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

MEMORANDUM TO CONSULATE GENERAL OF INDIA IN SUPPORT OF DR. SUBRAMANIAN SWAMY

MEMORANDUM TO CONSULATE GENERAL OF INDIA     October 13, 2011

Consulate General of India

3 East 64^th Street

New York, New York 10065

PROTEST AGAINST UNWARRANTED HARASSMENT OF

DR. SUBRAMANIAN SWAMY, PRESIDENT, JANATA PARTY

Hon. Prabhu Dayal ji:  Saadar Namaskar:

We, the undersigned, hereby submit this Memorandum to you to express our disgust and abhorrence against the unwarranted harassment of Dr. Subramanian Swamy, President, Janata Party and a prominent Indian leader who has emerged as the embodiment of resistance against totalitarian and corrupt system.

India is neither a Banana Republic nor a fiefdom of any Dynasty.  It is a full-fledged and vibrant democracy in which freedom of diverse views is constitutionally guaranteed to all the citizens.

Dr. Swamy is being hounded by the Governmental agencies for writing an article three months ago in an Indian newspaper in which he had expressed his opinion as to how to solve the problem of Islamic terror in India.   In that article he had also appealed to all the Hindus to unite against the challenge of Islamic terrorism.  There were no communal disturbances due to that article. 

Calling Dr. Swamy  “anti-Muslim” is a lie perpetrated by corrupt and anti-nationalists. 

It is a matter of great regret and shame that truthful, bold and honest Indian leaders like Dr. Subramanian Swamy are being threatened by Congress volunteers and Jihadists.

It is alleged that under pressure from Home Minister Shri Chidambaram, a frivolous FIR has been registered against Dr. Swamy in New Delhi. 

In addition to that   India Govt. refuses to act on his request for housing in a safer environment in New Delhi to protect himself and his family from ruffians.  Here are some examples of attacks:

Aug 8, 2011:       Dr. Swamy’s house in New Delhi was attacked by Congress workers
Feb 21, 2009:     Dr. Swamy was physically assaulted  in Tamilnadu by lawyers, right in front of  High Court Judge.
Oct 25, 2008:      Dr. Swamy’s  party office was ransacked in Madurai.

The intent behind all the above insidious activities is to muzzle Dr. Swamy’s voice, slander him in the eyes of public and ultimately put him in jail.

We are afraid that once Dr. Swamy is put in the jail, sinister attempt would be hatched to immobilize him physically as well as mentally for ever.

Hence, we request you to please convey our feelings to the Government of India.

We would also like to bring to your attention that  our protest should not be construed as an anti-India activity.  India is the country of our origin.  We assure you that we will never do anything that would bring disrepute or indignity to our Motherland.  However, we are compelled by the circumstances to resort to this type of action.

Respectfully yours,

POWERFUL PROTEST IN SUPPORT OF DR. SUBRAMANIAN SWAMY, NEAR CONSULATE GENERAL OF INDIA  IN NEW YORK

A Protest Demonstration was successfully organized by Indian Americans under the banner of Indian American Intellectuals Forum, Save India from Corruptions and several other associations in New York on Sunday, October 16^th,  to express their disgust and abhorrence against the unwarranted harassment of Dr. Subramanian Swamy, President, Janata Party and a prominent Indian leader who has emerged as the embodiment of resistance against totalitarian and corrupt system.

The protesters,  many of whom flew from Chicago and drove 250-300 miles from neighboring states, carried  banners saying “Sonia Gandhi – Shame, Shame”, “Down with Sonia Gandhi”,  and Save Dr. Swamy – Save Indian Democracy”.  They shouted slogans:  “Mother of Corruption – Sonia Gandhi”, “Sonia Gandhi – Fake Gandhi”  and “Congress Hatao – Desh Bachao”.

A copy of the Memorandum submitted to the Consulate General of India, New York was distributed to the media.  The Memorandum, inter alia, said that:

India is neither a Banana Republic nor a fiefdom of any Dynasty.  It is a full-fledged and vibrant democracy in which freedom of diverse views is constitutionally guaranteed to all the citizens.

Dr. Swamy is being hounded by the Governmental agencies for exposing corruption in high places and for writing an article three months ago in an Indian newspaper in which he had expressed his views as to how to solve the problem of Islamic terror in India.  In that article he had also appealed to all the Hindus to unite against the challenge of Islamic terrorism. 

“It is a matter of great regret and shame that truthful, bold and honest Indian leaders like Dr. Subramanian Swamy are being threatened by Congress volunteers and Jihadists”, the Memorandum stated.

The Memorandum also listed the series of attacks on Dr. Swamy’s residence, office and on him in Madurai.

“The intent behind all the above insidious activities is to muzzle Dr. Swamy’s voice, vilify him in the eyes of public and ultimately put him in jail”.

Narain Kataria, one of the organizer of the Protest said that “We are afraid that once Dr. Swamy is put in jail, sinister attempts would be hatched to immobilize him physically as well as mentally for ever.”

The protest was recorded and broadcast live on worldwide net.  It has been seen by thousands of people and can be watched at:  http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/17920834.
