Hon. Arnold Schwarzenegger
Office of the Governor
State Capital Building
Sacramento, California 95814
Sub: Request to Revert Your Decision over Carrying of Kirpan by Sikhs
Hon. Governor Schwarzenegger:
We are highly perturbed and deeply disturbed to know that Your Honor has vetoed a unanimously passed bill (AB-504) over carrying of kirpan by Sikhs in California, stating that it was “unnecessary”.
Your decision has offended not only millions of Sikhs all over the world but also hurt the sensibilities of one billion Hindus who consider Sikhs as their elder brothers and fully appreciate and understand the significance of carrying a kirpan by Sikhs.
In this connection, we would like to inform you that kirpan had been made a part of Sikh Dharma (Religion) by our Gurus to enable Sikhs to protect themselves against the savagery and brutalities by Islamic radical brutes from Afghanistan who had unleashed the reign of loot, murder, rape and terror in the Indian state of Punjab for more than 1000 years and killed thousands of innocent Sikhs and Hindus.
For your information, we would also like to add here that Sikhs are known to be very brave, loyal, peaceful people, and are an asset to America. In India, Sikhs are held in high esteem by most of the Indians because they are religiously trained to protect honor of women and self-respect of the weak and the poor. The main motivation behind transforming Hindus into Sikhs was to defend the pride and dignity of Indian nation. During British rule in India, Sikhs were the mainstay of British Imperial Army and have won many laurels for their chivalry.
We believe that your decision is not based on wise counsel and has not taken historical factors into account.
The relationship between Hindus and Sikhs is akin to skin and nails. Hindus in India and all over the world consider Sikhs as their blood brothers. Hence, we request you to kindly reconsider your decision and permit our Sikh brothers to carry kirpan in your state - California. By doing so, you could win accolades from both; one billion Hindus and 25 Million Sikhs.
Very truly yours,
Narain Kataria

Dhimmi Sree Sreenivasan Working Against Indian Interest
Narain Kataria
According to The Times of India dated October 7, 2009 (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Go-to-jail-or-join-jihad-against-India-ISI-tells-surrendered-Taliban/articleshow/5095277.cms), ISI of Pakistan has given an option to the surrendered Taliban either to go to jail or join Jihad against India. This is a very dangerous and frightening news.
On the one hand, Pakistan is deadly determined to destabilize and balkanize India with the help of sleeper cells in India and Taliban in Pakistan, and on the other hand, this far left Marxist academician from Columbia University, New York, Sree Sreenivasan of South Asian Journalists Association, has sent an email to SAJA list on October 4, 2009 encouraging Indian journalists to write stories for the promotion of American Pakistan Foundation. This activity smacks of dhimmitude and could conveniently be summed up as “anti-Indian”.
Please note that there are two types of dhimmies: (i) kafirs who become apologists for Islam, fear and defer to it and seek Islamic favor; and (ii) the subjugated dhimmies who suffer insult, humiliation, torture and brutalities under political Islam.
It is also a matter of great disgust that Sree Sreenivasan is misusing the resources of Indian journalists to promote Pakistan in this country and indirectly Jihad in India. He has to be stopped in his diabolical designs to harm India.
Thousands of Jai Chands and Man Singhs with Hindu-sounding names are masquerading as sheep in our society to hide their true identity, befool us, mislead us. weaken us and finally destroy us from within.
They strut around as our leaders but surreptitiously hobnob and collude with our enemies to create doubt and inferiority complex in our society.
Hindus should put a system in place to investigate the background of such persons, keep a watch on their anti-Indian activities, expose them, discredit them and boycott them socially.
By the way, Sree Sreenivasan is the son of a former Ambassador of India to USA, Mr. T.P. Sreenivasan

Peaceful Vigil in front of Ground Zero in New York on 9/11
Peaceful Vigil in front of Ground Zero in New York on 9/11 -
Report from Narain Kataria
Facing gusty winds and heavy rains members of Human Rights Coalition Against Radical Islam (HRCARI), an apex body of 35 organizations listed below, staged a peaceful vigil in front of Ground Zero in New York on 9/11/2009.
HRCARI members – Christians, Jews, Moslems, Hindus, Sikhs and secular leaders gathered there to mourn the loss of all victims of Radical Islam – from the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, from Mumbai to Madrid, Lockerbie to London, Bali to Beslan, Bangladesh and Pakistan, from Somalia to Sudan, from Iraq to Israel, from the sailors on the USS Code to the Coptic Christians in Egypt, and from Kenya to Kashmir.
This multi-ethnic, diverse, rainbow coalition for human rights demanded American government officials, President Barak Obama and the mainstream media to connect the dots and report the truth about Radical Islam’s worldwide assault on human rights ( including mass murders and suicide bombings, hanging of gays, stoning women, honor killings, suppression of free speech, etc.) .
HRCARI also demanded the governments to take appropriate action to protect the civilized world and to slow, if not stop, the spread of Islamic Supremacism; this oppressive, bigoted, homophobic, misogynist, racist and violent doctrine which has spawned so much death and destruction.
The volunteers carried various posters saying “Since 9/11 Radical Islam has committed 11,961 attacks and killed 75,038 and injured 115,255 people”, “Stop billions of Saudi oil money funding worldwide to Radical Islam”, etc.
“The root cause of the murder and mayhem in Middle East, Israel, Lebanon, Palestine, Kashmir, Madrid, Mumbai, Beslan, Bali, Manila, USA, UK and other parts of the world is Radical Islam. Radical Islam is the greatest threat to human civilization. We should recognize the gravity of this threat”, warned Dr. Marvin Belsky of HRCARI.
Andrew Upton from the Human Rights Coalition Against Radical Islam spoke of the difficulty in challenging an intolerant, bigoted , hate-filled and violent political doctrine when it hides behind the veil of religion; especially in America where tolerance of religious beliefs is so important to so many of us. Yet he emphasized the importance of unveiling the terrible truth about this doctrine as he recalled standing and watching in horror from just one block away as the second plane struck the World Trade Center on 9/11/01.
Narrating the tragic story of the death and destruction wrought by Radical Islam, Rajinder Singh Khalsa, President, Sikh Recognition Trust said: “Our Ninth Guru Shri Teg Bahadur Singh ji was killed by Radical Islam and our Tenth Guru’s two sons also were bricked alive in the walls by Radical Islamists.
One of the organizer of the Vigil, Narain Kataria said: “Radical Islamic preaches an ideology that is intolerant, exclusive, oppressive, totalitarian, violates human rights of others, and is incompatible with American Constitution. Radical Islam has unleashed a war on humanity. For the survival and protection of humanity as a whole, it is absolutely essential for the civilized governments and the United Nations to nip in bud this totalitarian ideology masquerading as a religion.
Bhupinder Singh Bhurji, Chairman of Namdhari Sikh Foundation, USA said: “What happened on 9/11 in New York has been happening for the hundreds of years in our country of origin - India. A couple of months ago thousands of our Hindu and Sikh brothers were asked to pay special tax (jazia) by Talibans in Pakistan. When they refused to pay the Dhimmi tax, their houses were ransacked, burnt and their businesses destroyed. According to a report in yesterday’s Times of India, as a result of torture and brutalization by Talibans, more than 5000 Hindus and Sikhs have fled Pakistan.
What America is doing now in Afghanistan, we Sikhs had done it 200 years ago and taught a befitting lesson to terrorists from Afghanistan. We Sikhs organized our army under Maharaja Ranjit Singh, the Lion of Punjab, and pushed all the Islamic invaders back to Afghanistan. Under our Commander Hari Singh Nalva we attacked Afghanistan and defeated them and broke their backbone. We built a very powerful human wall on the western front of India and insulated India from foreign attacks for ever.
Arish Sahani, one another member of HRCARI informed the audience that during the last 8 years, more than 13,000 terrorist attacks have taken place all over the world in which thousands of innocent men, women and children have been murdered. Referring to ethnic cleansing of Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists and Christians from Islamic nations, Mr. Sahani said that during the last 60 years, Hindu population in Pakistan has been reduced from 23 to 1%, and it has been brought down from 30% to 7-8% in Bangladesh.
Dr. Vasudev Murthy, Mohinder Singh Gulati, a businessman, Kamal Pandey, Sher Bahadur Singh of Nepalese Foundation, , Bidyut Sarkar of International Foundation of Bangladeshi Hindus, Satya Dosapati, Pabitra Choudhury and other activists also expressed their outrage and disgust against Radical Islam.

Protest Against Atrocities on Sikhs in Pakistan
MEMORANDUM TO MR. MOHSIN RAZI May 6, 2009
CONSUL GENERAL OF PAKISTAN
Mr. Mohsin Razi
Consul General of Pakistan
12 East 65th Street
New York, NY 10065
Sub: Protest Against Atrocities on Sikhs in Pakistan
Hon. Mohsin Razi:
We, the undersigned, living in New York are highly perturbed and deeply disturbed at the atrocities perpetrated on our Sikh brothers in Pakistan.
It is a matter of great regret and shame that our Sikh brothers in Pakistan were targeted by Taliban to pay $50 million as religious tax (Jazia). When they refused to pay the Jazia, their houses were ransacked, looted and blown to bits. They were terrorized and warned that they would be killed if they did not pay the tax.
We consider this as an egregious violation of human rights. Because of threat to their lives, 150 Sikh families have moved from Buner, Swat and Aurakzai Agency to Rawalpindi, Lahore and other parts of the country.
State Department spokesman Robert Wood has described Taliban as “ruthless killers”. We are very anguished to note that Government of Pakistan has so far taken no action to bring the culprits to the book. We condemn Pakistan government’s deliberate connivance at criminal activities by Taliban towards our Sikh brothers.
We would also bring to your attention that last month a group of 35 Hindu people crossed over to India and sought Government of India’s permission to stay in India because they could not take the harassment and barbarities of Taliban.
Sikhs have been living in Pakistan under subhuman conditions. In 2007, Jihad Watch had reported that an 18th Century Sikh Gurudwara in Lahore was taken over by a Muslim group and converted into a mosque.
Hence, we urge you to kindly bring to the attention of Government of Pakistan our distress and apprehension, and ensure safety and security of our Sikh brothers in Pakistan.
Very truly yours,

RALLY AGAINST RADICAL ISLAM IN NEW YORK
RALLY AGAINST RADICAL ISLAM IN NEW YORK
Report from Narain Kataria, New York
The Human Rights Coalition Against Radical Islam organized an impressive rally on May 3, 2009 at Times Square right in the heart of New York City in which approximately 500 people participated. The rally was held on behalf of many victims of Islam and in defense of human rights and freedom. The purpose was to express an outrage at the rising tide of Radical Islam all over the globe and to educate and awaken the Americans at gross root level regarding the threat of Radical Islam posed to America and other countries of the free world.
Addressing the outdoor rally of enthusiastic activists in the pouring rain, Dr. Tawfik Hameed, a former member of Jemaah Islamiyah of Egypt, called for the defeat of Radical Islam. He urged the audience to heighten their awareness of danger from Islamic supremacism to the human rights all across the globe.
Pastor Gerald Bell, a black minister from Boston, pointing to the site of 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001, said that “we, the people of all races and many cultures and countries” must band together to resist the world’s newest barbarism, the Radical Political Islam.
In the recent past, America strengthened the forces of freedom when it defeated the fascism and communism. But today, it is the Political Islam that is surging all around the globe. Propelled by the twin engines of terror and deception, Political Islam enslaves and slaughters blacks in Africa; assaults Christian communities in Iraq, Egypt, Pakistan; oppresses the Bahais, Sikhs and Hindus on Indian subcontinent; subjugates and beats women in Islamic communities; murders gays; demonizes and kills Jews; subjugates and hunts moderate Muslims.
Arish Sahani, a human rights activist from the Indian community and the Vice President of Indian American Intellectuals Forum recounted history of the last 1400 years in that connection. In that period, the radical Islam has caused the murder of 270 million human beings: among them 120 million Africans, 60 million Christians, 80 million Hindus and Sikhs and 10 million Buddhists. Tracing India’s history, Mr. Sahani recalled that in the year 1399, Turkish invader Sultan Taimur (Tamerlane) massacred 100,000 Hindus in India in a single day.
Mr. Sahani pointedly asked the audience the following questions:
Do you want to live under the radical Islam?
Do you know what radical Islam really is?
Do you know what happens when the radical Islam takes over your area?
Do you know that under the radical Islam no other religion is allowed to exist?
“We must stand up to the evil that radical Islam represents,” declared Mohamed Yahya, a human rights leader who had earlier traveled to Sudan to rescue African slaves from their Arab (Muslim) captors. “The barbarism that I personally witnessed there was simply indescribable. I tell you that amongst radical Islamists nobody is safe. Their agenda is to enslave, rape, kidnap and murder the Christians, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs, and anyone who does not subscribe to their baneful credo.”
Mr. Yahya proclaimed loudly that Radical Islam openly threatens to conquer the West. Confused, befuddled, imbecilic Western leaders pretend as if the danger is not there; they wish away the nightmare. But we, who have faced so many Islamist atrocities, know better and cannot close our eyes to that horrific reality.
Mr. Bhupinder Singh Bhurji, Chairman and CEO of Namdhari Sikh Foundation said, “I am an American Sikh. Originally I am from India. Our religion is the youngest one in the world. We are the followers of Guru Nanak ji, a great philosopher, poet and saint. We Sikhs believe in the dignity of human life. We believe in peace, harmony and brotherhood between all beings.
He continued, “We Sikhs have suffered the most at the hands of Radical Islam in the last 400 years of Islamic rule. I would like to narrate only a few instances of Islamic barbarity and savagery.
“In Sixteen Century India was attacked by Islamic invaders from Afghanistan. Our spiritual master Guru Nanak Dev ji was put in jail by Moslem King and persecuted. Subsequently, thousands of Sikhs were chased and killed. Our fifth Guru Arjun Dev ji was forced to sit on a hot plate with the blazing fire underneath. Hot sand was poured over his body and he achieved martyrdom. Our ninth Guru Teg Bahadur Saheb was also brutalized inhumanely and achieved martyrdom for the sake of faith and humanity. Our tenth Guru Govind Singhji’s two young sons were bricked alive by Islamists by not agreeing to accept Islam.
“In the end, we said enough is enough and drove out the invaders from our region. Historically, we Sikhs are reputed to be brave people and fearless fighters. That’s why we were the mainstay of the colonial British army then and the army of the free India now. The world can learn from Sikhs how to handle the Islamist barbarism.”
“In the world with Radical Islam, our freedom of expression is in danger. The future of our children is in danger. On behalf of my organization, I offer my full support to the Human Rights Coalition against the Radical Islam.” He ended his speech by shouting “God Bless America.”
Beth Gilinsky of the Jewish Action Alliance summarized it by saying, “Radical Islam, Islamic Supremacy, Sharia Law, Jihadism – call it what you will – but we know that it is all about the killing of ‘infidels’ and ‘apostates.’ The main agenda of Radical Islam is the slaughter of innocent people because of their faith, their political beliefs and convictions, or just because of who they are.”
Other speakers in the gathering were Michael W. Cutler of the Center for Immigration Studies, a Washington-based think tank and Shlomi Azulay, an Israeli survivor of a Hamas suicide bombing attack in downtown Jerusalem in 2002.
The following organizations, diverse in composition but united in the purpose, enthusiastically participated in the Rally. 911 Families for a Secure America, ACT for America, Long Island and Manhattan, AIR - Alliance for Interfaith Resistance, Aish Center, American Coptic Union, Americans for a Safe Israel, Alliance of Iranian Women, AMCHA-Coalition for Jewish Concerns, American Center for Democracy, Americans for Peace & Tolerance, Arabs for Israel, Artists4Israel, Atlas Shrugs, Center for Security Policy, Chinese Community Relations Council, Coalition for Israel, Damanga (Darfur Muslim organization), The David Project, Fordham University School of Law's National Security and Law Society, Foundation of Nepalese Americans, Gathering of Eagles-NY, Global Movement Against Radical Islam, Hasbara Fellowships, Hindu Human Rights Watch, Indian American Intellectuals Forum, International Foundation of Bangladeshi Hindus, Iraq the Model, Israpundit, Jewish Action Alliance, Jihad Watch, Mothers Against Terrorism, Muslims Against Sharia, Namdhari Sikh Foundation, R.E.A.L. - Responsible for Equality and Liberty, Sikh Recognition Trust, Snapped Shot, StandWithUS, Sudan Freedom Walk, Women United: Code Red, The World Committee for the Land of Israel, Zionist Organization of America.

Beth Gilinsky of the Jewish Action Alliance summarized it by saying, “Radical Islam, Islamic Supremacy, Sharia Law, Jihadism – call it what you will – but we know that it is all about the killing of ‘infidels’ and ‘apostates.’ The main agenda of Radical Islam is the slaughter of innocent people because of their faith, their political beliefs and convictions, or just because of who they are.”
Other speakers in the gathering were Michael W. Cutler of the Center for Immigration Studies, a Washington-based think tank and Shlomi Azulay, an Israeli survivor of a Hamas suicide bombing attack in downtown Jerusalem in 2002.

PETITION TO DISMISS ARJUN SINGH
PETITION TO DR. MANMOHAN SINGH, PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA TO DISMISS HRD MINISTER ARJUN SINGH FROM INDIAN CABINET
Dr. Manmohan Singh
Prime Minister of India
7 Race Course Road
New Delhi, India
November 30, 2006
SUB: DEMAND FOR DISMISSAL OF HRD MINISTER ARJUN SINGH FROM THE CABINET
Hon. Manmohan Singhji:
Sat Sri Akal!
It has come to our attention that Mr. Arjun Singh, the Human Resources and Development Minister in your government has concluded an agreement with Saudi Arabian government under which a few billion dollars will be given to Jamia Milia University in Delhi to establish an Arabic Center in India. Under the terms of this agreement, it is understood that hundreds of Arabs will come to India to propagate the Arabism and Islam.
In our view, a dangerous step like that will only help accelerate the Islamization of India besides having a deleterious effect on our internal security, the consequences of which cannot be realized at this time.
It is important to realize that Saudi Arabia is ruled by a Wahabi sect of Islam which is considered virulently extremist and dangerously fundamentalist. We suspect the real intent of Saudi Arabia in giving billions of dollars to a Muslim University in India. We believe that it is a part of the grand conspiracy to suck India into the vortex of pan-Islamic movement. We should also not forget that it was Aligarh Muslim University which produced fanatic Muslim leaders like late Liaqat Ali Khan, a former Prime Minister of Pakistan. India has already suffered a lot at the hands of Islamic terrorists. It will be a height of insanity on the part of UPA Government to enter into such damaging agreements that could destabilize India and endanger its internal security.
History is a testimony to the fact that India, in the past, was not defeated because of the lack of valor and chivalry on part of Indian rulers but because of the treachery of its Jai Chands and Man Singhs. It was Jai Chand who invited Mohammed Ghori to attack India. Also, it was Man Singh who helped the Muslim ruler Akbar to consolidate Islamic rule in India. In the same manner, Mr. Arjun Singh is now inviting Saudi Arabia to spread Islam in India.
Arjun Singh is obviously anti-Hindu, anti-Indian and an appeaser of a minority community. He is infamous for falsifying Indian history. His other moves to pit Hindu castes against one another by extending the reservations for OBCs to even private colleges and to institutions of higher learning and at the same time excluding Muslim institutions from having to provide reservations for OBC Hindus, shows how hateful he is of Hindus and how shamelessly he is trying to cozy up to the fundamentalist Muslims for their votes. This man is out and out dangerous. He is an enemy of Hindus and an enemy of Bharat. He is an enemy of excellence, an enemy of all that is decent and has no regard for ideas like reverence and respect for all religions and equality of all human beings.
In our observation, Arjun Singh is born with an animus against the Hindu people. His actions are, to say the least, detestable, demeaning, and subversive. We believe that he suffers from some sort of cognitive disorder. That is the reason he derives vicarious pleasure by hurting Hindu sentiments. Hence, we demand that the HRD minister Arjun Singh be dismissed immediately from your Cabinet.

INFIDELS OF THE WORLD, UNITE!
From Narain Kataria, New York
The world is under siege. This siege has been laid by radical Islamists. Radical Islamists believe in the holy war – Jihad, a pure and simple terrorism. Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini had said: “Holy war (jihad) means the conquest of all non-Muslim territories.” Islamic groups use jihad to achieve the political dominance of the entire globe.
Jihad is a doctrine of permanent warfare. It is to be continued in every country wherever Muslims live. It is incumbent on jihadists to slaughter the unbelievers, kidnap and rape their women, enslave their children, all for the simple reason that they do not believe in Allah, Koran and Mohammed. Another Islamic scholar Syed Abul A'ala Maudoodi, founder of the Jamaat-e-Islami proclaimed: “The goal of Islam is to rule the entire world and submit all of the mankind to the faith of Islam. Any nation or power that gets in the way of that goal, Islam will fight and destroy it.”
Shaikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, who planned the first attack on the World Trade Center in 1993, funneled these words to his fellow faithfuls: “Oh, you Muslims everywhere, sever the ties of their nation, tear them apart, ruin their economy, instigate against their corporations, destroy their embassies, attack their interests, sink their ships, and shoot down these airplanes. Kill them in land, at sea, and in the air, kill them wherever you find them.” (Babbin, in the Words of Our Enemies, p. 60)
Radical Islamists are very honest when they talk about their vision of future of Islam. They are forthright when they say that their aim is to establish Caliphate – means rule of Allah - all over the world. The concept of Caliphate has stirred the imagination of radical Islamists. Caliphate existed from 632 to 1924 when the last remnant of Caliphate was abolished in Turkey by Mustafa Kamal Pasha.
In Germany 73%, in Poland 77%, in India 73%, in Russia 71%, in U.S. 67% and in Canada 61% people believe that Islam is the most violent religion. http://pewglobal.org/reports/display.phb?PageID=811.
In view of the above sample exhortations from the Muslim leaders, the question arises: “Should we believe in the sanctimonious rhetoric that Islam is a peaceful religion? Can we counter the religious bigotry and obscurantism by dilettantism? Will the liberal intelligentsia that believes in political correctness succeed in handling radical Islamists extolling the virtues of violence and savagery? Will the willful prevarication of left-leaning political class save us from the impending doom and imminent disaster?”
There are more than 57 Islamic countries in the world. In the arc extending from Cairo to Jakarta, India and Israel are the only two credible non-Moslem democracies. Israel is completely surrounded by Moslem nations. Islamic nations are just waiting for an opportunity to destroy, annihilate and erase Israel’s existence from the face of Earth.
History is testimony to the fact that Moslems forcibly wrested one third of India from Hindus at the time of Partition in 1947. In 1974, Moslem nation Turkey, militarily invaded Cyprus and forcibly created a Moslem state in it. Moslems have transformed Lebanon from the Christian majority state to the one that is Moslem majority. A brand new Muslim nation of Kosovo has been planted in the heart of Europe.
George W. Bush, in his State of Union Address on Jan. 29, 2002, in order to describe governments that he accused of helping terrorism coined the term “Axis of Evil”. President Bush named Iran, Iraq and North Korea. But in the changed circumstances, the term “Axis of Evil” can be modified and extended to Iran, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.
Iran is covertly developing nuclear weapons. Fox News recently reported that Iran is capable of producing nuclear bomb this year. Iran has acquired BM25 land-mobile missiles with a range of 3500 km that can strike targets in Europe. It is testing ballistic missiles designed to destroy the American cities. In addition to that Iran is surreptitiously supplying the rockets, missiles and other dangerous weapon systems to Hamas and Hizbollah in Lebanon.
Saudi Arabia is building mosques all over the world. These mosques then run Madrasas. Madrasas are the factories for manufacturing terrorists. Terrorists are systematically trained in Pakistan by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Agency (ISI) and then exported all over the world to kill the infidels (again, infidels are those 4.5 billion non-Muslim humans on globe that do not believe in Allah, Koran and Mohammad). Thus, ISI, the Pakistan’s official intelligence agency is waging a jihad against the infidel India and is using the nuclear weapons to blackmail her.
In that country, which is more than 99% Islamic, the thorough cleansing of religious minorities has already been completed. Fuelled by petro-dollars from Saudi Arabia and emboldened by Pakistan’s Islamic bomb, Islamists are on a march to establish Caliphet and impose Sharia (Islamic law) on all of us. China’s direct military help to Pakistan, Russia’s similar help to Iran and other Arab nations has further increased the appetite of Jihadists to achieve their dream of Islamic domination over the Western Europe, America and India.
Saudi Arabia is notorious for being a big funding source for the hate-filled extremist ideologies. A few years ago Saudi Arabia’s ruler King Fahd had himself ordered a fundraising in the amount of $100 million for families of Palestinian terrorists. According to a State Department report, the Saudi Arabian donors are a primary source of funding to the terrorist outfit Hamas in Lebanon. Wealthy Saudi Arabians who are closely related to the King have been bankrolling extremism through various charitable contributions. Again, according to another State Department report, Al Qaeda is a constant fundraising machine; the country from where it raises the most is, indisputably, the Saudi Arabia.
Pakistan has become not only the laboratory of radical Islam but it also is a major sponsor of terrorism. The political disintegration of Pakistan is not only central to winning the war on terror, but also essential for a stable peace in the South Asia. Pakistan uses terrorism as a tool of its foreign policy. The Pakistani politicians are very shrewd and cunning by nature and design. They meticulously follow the strategy established by Prophet Mohammed in the Treaty of Al-Hudaybiyah in 628 – to buy time and build the military strength.
On one hand, the Pakistan administration has been maintaining the façade of working closely with United States in fighting Taliban terrorists in Afghanistan, and on the other most of its core commanders aid, abet and hobnob with the Jihadists to advance the cause of Islam. In the process, they have fleeced the American taxpayers tens of billions of dollars. In order to fool the US, once in a while, they arrest some poor Moslem guy, declare the arrest of a leading local commander of some militant group, give wide publicity to the fabricated event and hoodwink US. Pakistan is the true epicenter of terrorism in world, as well as the breeding ground of future hard-core terrorists.
Addressing a meeting at Asia Society, Salman Rushdie, the famous Booker award novelist said: The headquarters of the Al Qaeda, the headquarters of the Taliban, the headquarters of Lashkar-e-Taiba, the headquarters of Jaish-e-Mohammad are in the world’s center of terrorism – Pakistan.
Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, addressing the conference organized by Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) in New York at New York Palace Hotel said that he was worried about the Islamic Jihad developing in India.
There is a growing concern in the world that nuclear Pakistan will inevitably assist other radical Islamist countries and groups, including those that have targeted Israel, to develop their own nuclear weapons.
It is important to remember that the same ideology that caused the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York, 11/26/2008 massacres in Mumbai, 7/7/2005 attacks on London’s public transport network, 3/11/2004 Madrid train bombing, 9/1/2004 merciless murder of school children at Beslan, Russia, 3/5/2003 terror blast in Bali, Indonesia, has in the last ten years resulted in the murder of thousands of Indians (mostly Hindus) in hundreds of terror incidents.
In 1940’s we defeated Nazism. A few decades later, we smashed Communist ideology. In the 21st century, however, we are confronted with a deceitful, hateful and the most dangerous enemy who has entrenched itself in our midst. At approximately 22% of the global population, the Islamists are determined to impose their ideology on the remaining 78% gullible but peace-loving citizens of world!
If we look at it carefully, it is really not that difficult to defeat the diabolical designs of our enemies who use sophistry and subterfuge. We know that, in the past, Islam had touched the nadir of humiliation in 732 at the hands of Charles Mortell, the defender of Europe, at the Battle of Tours. Again in 1971 Bangladesh War, valiant Indian forces lead by Zoroastrian Field Martial Manekshaw, Jewish General J.F.R. Jacob, and Sikh Lt.-Gen. Jagjit Singh Arora made Pakistanis sheepishly surrender at Dacca. The brave Indian commanders captured over 90,000 Moslem soldiers as prisoners-of-war, who foolishly and mistakenly believed the Islamic propaganda that they did indeed belong to an invincible “martial race!” In the situation, the defeated Pakistani soldiers had to beg for mercy.
Islamists have plans to plant the Islamic flag on White House, 10 Downing Street, New Delhi and other major capitals of the world. America is the military superpower. India has the manpower, brains and technology. Israel has a clear-cut strategy to overpower the Islamists, as also understands their dreadful, inhumane ideology.
For the sake of the survival of human civilization, freedom, liberty and democracy, it is imperative that these democracies devise strategies in cooperation with UK, France, Russia and other victims of Islamism, to extirpate the threat to our existence.
In order to avert the looming catastrophe of unprecedented magnitude, it is absolutely essential that we give up squeamishness, apathy and pusillanimity. Apocalyptic annihilation is staring us in our eyes. We can ignore it only at our own peril!
