TERRORISM THEATER IN MASS MEDIA, A NEW FORM OF PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE OF 21ST CENTURY TERRORIZING THE VIEWERS WHO ARE THE FUTURE "DHIMMIES" FOR THE ISLAMIST JIHADISTS

Terrorism as Theater

By Robert D Kaplan Wednesday, August 27, 2014 Source: courtesy http://www.stratfor.com and vigilonline and Radha Rajan, and of course the author             Robert D. Kaplan The beheading of American journalist James Foley by the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq was much more than an altogether gruesome and tragic affair: rather, it was a very sophisticated and professional film production deliberately punctuated with powerful symbols. Foley was dressed in an orange jumpsuit reminiscent of the Muslim prisoners held by the United States at Guantanamo Bay. He made his confession forcefully, as if well rehearsed. His executioner, masked and clad in black, made an equally long statement in a calm, British accent, again, as if rehearsed. It was as if the killing was secondary to the message being sent. The killing, in other words, became merely the requirement to send the message. As experts have told me, there are more painful ways to dispatch someone if you really hate the victim and want him to suffer. You can burn him alive. You can torture him. But beheading, on the other hand, causes the victim to lose consciousness within seconds once a major artery is cut in the neck, experts say. Beheading, though, is the best method for the sake of a visually dramatic video, because you can show the severed head atop the chest at the conclusion. Using a short knife, as in this case, rather than a sword, also makes the event both more chilling and intimate. Truly, I do not mean to be cruel, indifferent, or vulgar. I am only saying that without the possibility of videotaping the event, there would be no motive in the first place to execute someone in such a manner. In producing a docu-drama in its own twisted way, the Islamic State was sending the following messages: We don't play by your rules. There are no limits to what we are willing to do. America's mistreatment of Muslim prisoners at Guantanamo Bay comes with a "price tag," to quote a recently adopted phrase for retribution killings. After all, we are a state. We have our own enemy combatants as you can see from the video, and our own way of dealing with them. Just because we observe no limits does not mean we lack sophistication. We can be just as sophisticated as you in the West. Just listen to the British accent of our executioner. And we can produce a very short film up to Hollywood standards. We're not like the drug lords in Mexico who regularly behead people and subsequently post the videos on the Internet. The drug lords deliver only a communal message, designed to intimidate only those people within their area of control. That is why the world at large pays little attention to them; in fact, the world is barely aware of them. By contrast, we of the Islamic State are delivering a global, meta-message. And the message is this: We want to destroy all of you in America, all of you in the West, and everyone in the Muslim world who does not accept our version of Islam. We will triumph because we observe absolutely no constraints. It is because only we have access to the truth that anything we do is sanctified by God. Welcome to the mass media age. You thought mass media was just insipid network anchormen and rude prime-time hosts interrupting talking heads on cable. It is that, of course. But just as World War I was different from the Franco-Prussian War, because in between came the culmination of the Industrial Age and thus the possibility of killing on an industrial scale, the wars of the 21st century will be different from those of the 20th because of the culmination of the first stage of the Information Age, with all of its visual ramifications. Passion, deep belief, political protests and so forth have little meaning nowadays if they cannot be broadcast. Likewise, torture and gruesome death must be communicated to large numbers of people if they are to be effective. Technology, which the geeky billionaires of Silicon Valley and the Pacific Northwest claim has liberated us with new forms of self-expression, has also brought us back to the worst sorts of barbarism. Communications technology is value neutral, it has no intrinsic moral worth, even as it can at times encourage the most hideous forms of exhibitionism: to wit, the Foley execution. We are back to a medieval world of theater, in which the audience is global. Theater, when the actors are well-trained, can be among the most powerful and revelatory art forms. And nothing works in theater as much as symbols which the playwright manipulates. A short knife, a Guantanamo jumpsuit, a black-clad executioner with a British accent in the heart of the Middle East, are, taken together, symbols of power, sophistication, and retribution. We mean business. Are you in America capable of taking us on? It has been said that the murder of Czar Nicholas II and his family in 1918 in Ekaterinburg by Lenin's new government was a seminal crime: because if the Bolsheviks were willing to execute not only the Czar but his wife and children, too, they were also capable of murdering en masse. Indeed, that crime presaged the horrors to come of Bolshevik rule. The same might be said of the 1958 murder of Iraqi King Faisal II and his family and servants by military coup plotters, and the subsequent mutilation of the body of Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri Said by a Baghdad mob -- events that presaged decades of increasingly totalitarian rule, culminating in Saddam Hussein. The theatrical murder of James Foley may appear as singular to some; more likely, it presages something truly terrible unfolding in the postmodern Middle East. To be sure, the worse the chaos, the more extreme the ideology that emerges from it. Something has already emerged from the chaos of Syria and Iraq, even as Libya and Yemen -- also in chaos -- may be awaiting their own versions of the Islamic State. And remember, above all, what the video communicated was the fact that these people are literally capable of anything. ("Terrorism as Theater is republished with permission of Stratfor.")

CORRUPT OFFICIALS IN INDIA HAVE NO FEAR EVEN AFTER MODI BECAME THE PRIME MINISTER BECAUSE THE CORRUPTION IS UBIQUITOUS AND ALL CORRUPT OFFICIALS ARE POLITICALLY WELL CONNECTED AND THE JUSTICE SYSTEM IN INDIA IS DISLOCATED AND CORRUPT; BUYING TIME FOR ALL EVIL PRACTICES UNTIL EVERYONE FORGETS THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE ISSUES AFTER 20 YEARS WHEN THE CASES ARE NOMINALLY HEARD BY THE CORRUPT JUDICIARY

 CORRUPT OFFICIALS DO NOT FEAR MODI GOVERNMENT YET

The recent arrest of Manuneethi Chozhan, the Registrar of Companies , on corruption charges in Chennai proves the extent to which the government officials, business men and politicians collude together to destroy this country. This arrest of the registrar of companies only indicates that the Naredra Modi government has not been able to create any fear amongst officials yet , about indulging in corrupt practices.

This man was arrested earlier and was facing serious charges but was reinstated later on. The fact that such a person has been allowed to occupy such a crucial position at top level only indicates that the corrupt officials can get away with anything by playing politics. Media reports say that this man has several political connections .

In the past, many corrupt officials have gone scot free after initial arrest and getting bail. Such corrupt people seem to have great faith in Indian judicial system that it would not give any judgement too soon. The story of a Chief Minister’s case pending in the court for nearly fifteen years is a ready example.

The net effect is that many corrupt people, whether they are officials or politicians or businessmen or even judges, do not suffer at all except for a brief period when they would be arrested and then released on bail.

Ultimately, corruption can be wiped out in India only by a determined and honest central government and non-corrupt efficient judiciary and what crusaders against corruption in public life may do ceases to by only symbolic with no dire consequences for the perpetrators.

Narendra Modi’s government is yet to give an impression that it would effectively make the corrupt people pay the price for their misdeeds. Whatever may be Mr. Modi’s achievements in other fronts, if he does not succeed in wiping out such corruption at national and regional level, his countrymen/women would not be satisfied.

Nandini Voice For The Deprived

GRAVE CONCERNS ABOUT JIHADI MUSLIMS FORCING HINDU AND SIKH GIRLS IN VERY LARGE NUMBERS INTO FRAUDULENT MARRIAGES AND THEN USING THEM AS SEX SLAVES AND INDUCTED INTO JIHADI TERRORISTS ACTIVITIES, AND THIS EVIL NEEDS TO BE COUNTERED BY GETTING THE BULL BY THE HORN BY HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVISTS INSTEAD OF DERAILING THE DISCUSSION INTO NON SEQUITURS AS IS SO COMMON IN INDIAN MEDIA TO THE POINT THAT THE POINT IS COMPLETELY MISSED AND ONE WALKS AWAY TOTALLY BAMBOOZLED AND THIS TAC-TIC NEEDS TO BE EXPOSED EVERY TIME INDIAN MEDIA USE IT.

Following is a letter to NDTV by anonymous author

until permission is obtained to identify the author.

I want to begin by saying that the technician at NDTV (Mr. Kawaljit Singh) has set the transmission problem right and I am able to resume watching the NDTV debates. Thankyou. I watch them primarily because they are interesting in themselves but also because they provide an insight into what a certain segment of Indian society think about contemporary issues. In that sense NDTV is doing a service. 

The most recent one is on Love Jihad (The Big Fight with Vikram Chandra). Given the nature of the topic there was a general disclaimer both from NDTV and Vikram himself that the views expressed were those of the panelists and not of NDTV.

It was a disappointing debate primarily because of the unevenness of the panelists chosen. There was Suhashini Ali (CPM) who raised the important point that if the women being converted to Islam were being recruited for terrorist activity then this is a serious issue. However, by the end of the program she reverted back to the old shiboleths of communalism etc. The same 'ol, same 'ol.

There were two Hindu reps. one from the Hindu Mahasabha and one from the VHP. This latter gentleman also raised the important question of recruits for terrorism. He also drew attention to the fact that the debate had moved from Love Jihad to Love Marriage (an entirely different topic). He was balanced and well prepared.

This skewed topic interested the young teenage audience a great deal and they laughed and applauded. They seemed to have missed the distinction between Love Jihad and Love Marriage.

Gold Medallist Tara Sahadev who had gone through the gruesome experience of Love Jihad began the program but was soon forgotten. Shazia Ilmi was schoolgirlish in her attempts to lecture to the Hindus about what their faith was : Paramatman who does not distinguish between faiths and gender etc. The other Muslim lady was not convincing about the true meaning of 'jihad'. Both ladies papered over the topic of forced conversions after the fraudulent marriages of Hindu women to those of the Islamic faith as in the case of Tara Sahadev.

The history of Islam does not bear out the Muslim lady's sanitised version of 'jihad' as a spiritual struggle ! Both world history and Indian history can attest to that.

Then there was the woman scholar (sporting a tilak) from DU  I believe, who went into a fulsome rant against the Sangh Parivar today and against the RSS in particular, claiming that her research had shown her allegations to be true ! I am not familiar with her name and have forgotten it ! Hers was clearly a communal agenda ! It is indeed ironic that these accusations of communalism against the BJP and also the Sangh Parivar are being kept on the front burner by such people. 

Nalin Kohli from the BJP was in a difficult situation but he managed to steer clear of any controversy and repeated that the Modi government was committed to sab ka sath sab ka vikas. He said he could not say anything about the topic of Love Jihad.

The facts, though, are that the phenomenon developed from Kerala and spread to Karnataka and other parts of India. In Kerala it is not merely the Hindus who are concerned. The christian Church has also produced stats. which show that more than 2600 young women had fallen prey to Love Jihad in the last year alone. Shortly after the fraudulent marriage they are forcibly converted and often shipped off to distant ME countries for a variety of purposes such as sex slavery. Those who consent to conversion are inducted into terrorist activities ranging from small operations to larger ones.

It is well known that Kerala has become the hub of sending out fighters to Afghanistan and Syria (ISIS).Details can be accessed at Haindava Keralam.com

The Hindu Mahasabha gentleman could have focussed on the issue of what conversions mean to Hindus. In an 

earlier program on some other topic the journalist Arati Jerath had disingenuously asked why Hindus who were in the majority were worried about the minorities. I recall that the BJP rep. from Uttar Pradesh made the important point that when some one like Prime Minister Manmohan Singh proclaims as public policy that all the resources of the country first belong to the minorities then the Hindus do feel insecure.

Above all, with the reduction of the Hindu population in Pakistan and Bangladesh from double digit figures (at independence) to single digit, and the driving out of the Kashmiri Hindus from Kashmir, there is a clear and present danger to the Hindus of the subcontinent. The Sikhs in UK have also raised the issue of the impact of Love Jihad on their community. They have done studies on the topic. The BJP could also initiate such a study on an all India basis.

All in all, the program was disappointing and Vikram who is usually well prepared seemed to be ill informed about the topic.

Bombs Away Over Syria! Washington Has Gone Stark Raving Mad By David Stockman August 28, 2014 "ICH" - America’s spanker-in-chief is at it again—threatening to bomb Syria owing to the uncivilized actions of its inhabitants. And when it comes to Syria, Washington avers that there are punishable malefactors virtually everywhere within its borders. Exactly one year ago Obama proposed to take Bashar Al Assad to the woodshed because he had allegedly unleashed a vicious chemical attack on his own citizens. That was all pretext, of course, because even the CIA refused to sign-off on the flimsy case for Assad’s culpability at the time—-a reluctance corroborated since then by the considerable evidence that hundreds of Syrian civilians were murdered during a false flag operation staged by the rebels with help from Turkey. The aim of the rebels, of course, was to activate American tomahawk missiles and bombers in behalf of “regime change”, which was also the stated goal of the Obama Administration. Now the White House is threatening to bomb Syria again, but this time its “regime change” objective has been expanded to include both sides! In 12 short months what had been the allegedly heroic Sunni opposition to the “brutal rule” of the Assad/Alawite minority has transmuted into the “greatest terrorist threat ever”, according to the Secretary of Defense. So Obama has already unleashed the drones and surveillance apparatus to identify targets of attack that will help bring down a regime in northern and eastern Syria—the so-called Islamic State—which did not even exist a year ago. And a regime that is now armed to the teeth with America’s own latest and greatest weaponry as previously supplied to the disintegrated Iraqi army and the Syrian rebels trained by the CIA in Jordan. Adding to this blinding farce is the warning of Syria’s Foreign Affairs minister that Obama should please to request permission before he rains destruction from the sky on the Opposition—-that is, the opposition to the very same Damascus regime which the White House has vowed to eradicate. Needless to say,  the Washington apparatus is having nothing to do with aiding the enemy of its new enemy: White House spokesman Josh Earnest on Monday tried to tamp down the notion that action against the Islamic State group could bolster Assad, saying, “We’re not interested in trying to help the Assad regime.” However, he acknowledged that “there are a lot of cross pressures In fact, there is apparently an option emerging from the bowels of the war machine that calls for an odd/even day plan to bomb both sides, thereby making clear that Washington is an equal opportunity spanker. Apparently, whether you use a 12th century sword or 20th century attack helicopter as a means of rule, you will be bombed by the “indispensable nation”, as Obama put it, adding that “no other nation can do what we do”. Well, that involves some “doing”. According to AP, it appears that Syrian airstrikes are imminent, but could be carried out under the odd/even day plan: “In an effort to avoid unintentionally strengthening the Syrian government, the White House could seek to balance strikes against the Islamic State with attacks on Assad regime targets.” Is any more evidence needed that Washington has gone stark raving mad than even the possibility that such an absurd option could  be under consideration? Has not the imperial city on the Potomac become so inured to its pretensions of global hegemony and to instant resort to deployment of its war machine that any semblance of rationality and coherence has been dissolved? Indeed, in the context of Syria’s fractured and riven tribal, religious and political splinters how could anyone in their right mind think that a bombing campaign without boots on the ground will accomplish anything other than function as a potent recruiting tool for ISIS, and a generator of jihadist blowback for years to come. By the same token, the White House’s polling machine surely documents that an outright Iraq-style invasion of the Islamic State is overwhelmingly opposed by the American people, and rightly so. Accordingly, the silly, hapless man in the Oval Office stumbles forward, apparently unaware that he’s not merely playing video games during his sojourns in the Situation Room. Indeed, the make-believe “nuanced” bombing options that are likely to be ground out by the national security machinery are destined to fail and drag Washington ever deeper into the violent cauldron of Mesopotamia and the Levant. The trillions of treasure wasted, the millions of lives lost and the venomous tribal enmities resulting from Washington’s misbegotten ventures in Iraq and Afghanistan provide all the proof that is needed. The fact is, the artificial states created by the Sykes-Picot map drawn up by the French and British foreign offices in 1916—- as they carved up the Ottoman empire— are now destined for the dustbin of history. The fracturing remnants of Syria and Iraq cannot be fused back together by means of lethal deposits of metal and chemicals delivered by tomahawks and F-16s. So let the region rearrange itself without Washington’s unwelcome meddling and mayhem. If Turkey and an independent Kurdistan can make mutually acceptable political and economic arrangements, which are already well-advanced, so be it. If the Shiite south in Iraq and the  Alawite/Shiite southwest in Syria break-off from their present Europe-bequeathed boundaries and form independent regimes, how does that jeopardize the safety and security of the citizens of Lincoln NE and Spokane WA? And, yes, if the Islamic State temporarily manages to coalesce within the Sunni lands of the Euphrates Valley and the upper Tigress why is that really a national security threat which requires launching an unwinnable war, a new round of hostility to America in the Islamic world and the blowback of legions of jihadi with a score to settle? Now that you know about the Yazidis, did you ever hear of the Sheitaat tribe of Sunnis who inhabit the minor oil province around Deir al-Zor in northeastern Syria?  There appear to be about 100,000 members of that sect in the region and they have been declared apostates by the medieval butchers who run ISIS: Hundreds of members of the Sheitaat clan have been executed after their tribe refused to submit to Islamic State. The entire tribe have been deemed “hostile apostates” by the group, an offshoot of al Qaeda that has declared a “caliphate” in the territory it holds. Islamic State has declared the Sheitaat tribe “an unbelieving sect” that should be fought as if they were infidels, according to a report from the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which tracks violence in the Syrian war. At least 700 hundred members of the tribe have already been executed, the Observatory reported on Aug. 16. Another 1,800 are still missing after being detained by Islamic State, according to the Observatory, which gathers information from all sides in the Syrian war. Its efforts to pledge allegiance to Islamic State have been rebuffed. Pictures of the bodies of men apparently slain by Islamic State fighters in Sheitaat areas are surfacing every day, said Rami Abdelrahman, founder of the Observatory. “We have repeatedly expressed concerns about extermination,” he said. “It is the first time that the Islamic State has used these (religious) concepts against an entire tribe,” he said. Three Sheitaat villages seized by Islamic State have been designated as a military zone, the rebel and another activist from the area said. The clan’s property and livestock have also been seized, another person from the area said. Islamic State has declared that no truce is possible with the Sheitaat, that its prisoners can be killed, and its women are unfit for marriage, according to the Observatory. “We’re still seeing Islamic State trucks loaded up with furniture and rugs from Sheitaat homes in those villages, which are now totally abandoned,” said one person from the area contacted by internet link, speaking on condition of anonymity. Islamic State has started to use house demolitions as a punishment. A video posted over the weekend shows what appears to be the detonation of a rural home as the narrator, who identifies himself as from Islamic State, explains that the home belongs to Sheitaat “apostates”. Why would you believe that a viable state can be built in today’s world on the tactics of Genghis Kahn? The Islamic State, such as it is, is not rich, does not have enough oil to make a difference, will soon be bogged down in the insuperable problems of governance by the sword and will flounder on the impoverished economics of the dusty villages and desert expanse which comprise its natural territory. And it will eventually mobilize its neighbors—-Turkey, Hezbollah, the rump regime of Assad’s Alawite Syria, Kurdistan, the Shiite alliance of Iran and lower Iraq, and even Saudi Arabia and the oil sheikdoms—to contain its external ambitions. So Washington should call off the bombers and get out of harm’s way. The American Imperium has failed and the prospect of bombing both sides of an irrelevant non-country’s ancient tribal wars ought, at last, to make that much clear.

National Herald case: Court to hear matter against Sonia, Rahul on Dec 9 New Delhi, Aug 28 (PTI): A Delhi court on Thursday fixed December 9 for hearing the complaint case in which it had issued summons against Congress President Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and others, on the issue of acquisition of National Herald daily. Metropolitan Magistrate Gomati Manocha postponed the matter after the counsel appearing for Sonia Gandhi and others informed the court that Delhi High Court had stayed the criminal proceedings pending before the trial court till September 3. The complaint case in the matter was filed by Bharatiya Janata Party leader Subramanian Swamy. During the hearing, Swamy informed the court that he had served the summons issued against accused Sam Pitroda, who according to him is at present residing in the US.          He also told the court that the high court had stayed the proceedings before the trial court for other accused and not for Pitroda.          ”The stay is for other accused and not for Pitroda. I have served the summons to him,” he told the court.          Senior advocate Ramesh Gupta, who appeared for Sonia, Rahul and others, countered Swamy's submissions, saying the summon has to be served through the Ministry of Home Affairs. During the hearing, the court asked Swamy, “Is there any other way to serve the summon?” It, however, said that it would hear the arguments on this aspect on the next date of hearing.          Earlier, Swamy had requested the court to hand over the summons issued against Pitroda to him so that he could serve it on him. In a reprieve for Sonia, Rahul and others, the high court had earlier stayed the criminal proceedings pending before the trial court against them. The Congress leaders have challenged the lower court's summoning orders against them on a complaint of Swamy alleging cheating and misappropriation of funds in the acquisition of the daily by Young Indian (YI). The stay from the high court had come as a relief to Sonia, Rahul and others including Congress treasurer Moti Lal Vora, General Secretary Oscar Fernandes and Suman Dubey who were summoned as accused by the trial court. Pitroda is the only accused who, so far, has not moved the high court. While summoning the accused in the case, the trial court had held that Swamy has established a prima facie case of cheating, misappropriation of funds and criminal breach of trust against them. Swamy had accused Sonia and Rahul Gandhi and others of conspiring to cheat and misappropriate funds by paying just Rs 50 lakh by which YI obtained the right to recover Rs 90.25 crore which the Associated Journals Limited had owed to the Congress party. The accused persons were summoned under sections 403 (dishonest misappropriation of property, 406 (criminal breach of trust) and 420 (cheating) read with section 120B (criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code.

"IT'S JIHAD - STUPID" - DISCOMBOBULATED U.S. POLITICIANS ARE MISCALCULATING THE RISK OF THE JIHADI VIOLENCE

“IT’S  JIHAD – STUPID”

A thought provoking article by Rachel Ehrenfeld circulated by ACT! For America

http://acdemocracy.org/its-jihad-stupid/

Visit our News page   IT'S JIHAD, STUPID Dear Narain, Rachel Ehrenfeld was one of the pioneers in the West to warn about the threat from Jihad. An expert on all aspects of Jihad, but especially terrorism financing, Ms. Ehrenfeld has been targeted by powerful, moneyed interests in failed attempts to silence her. The rest of us are fortunate that the brave Rachel Ehrenfeld continues to educate and inform the civilized world about the barbaric savages in our enemies’ ranks. It’s Jihad, Stupid By Rachel Ehrenfeld The American Center for Democracy http://acdemocracy.org/its-jihad-stupid/ Statements made by U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, after ISIS released videos showing their beheading of photojournalist James Foley, revealed that both seem to suffer not only from severe shortsightedness, but also from an acute case of willful blindness. Similar afflictions beset the U.S. political and military leadership and the media. The rest of Western world seems to suffer from the same problems. All act surprised by the rapid advance of the ISIS, as well as its brutality. While the President described the beheading as “an act of violence that shocks the conscience,” Hagel announced: “Oh, this is beyond anything that we’ve seen.” Really? A cursory google search reveals similarly horrid images of jihadists beheading, stoning, stabbing, burning, lynching and other unimaginable forms of taking human lives by celebrating members of al Qaeda, al Shabab, ISIS, Hamas, and Hezbollah. ISIS’s release of the video of James Foley’s brutal murder was followed two days later with Hamas videos of summary executions in Gaza. Indeed, the credit for exploiting the Western media to publicize their jihadi savagery belongs to the PLO (see below). The common denominator of these and like-minded Islamist Sunni and Shia groups is jihad. Their brutality matches that of the Nazis. Yet, no American, European or other Western leader dared to identify the jihadist problem by its name. Mr. Obama declared, “There has to be a clear rejection of these kind of nihilistic ideologies.” But the ISIS’s and other jihadists’ ideology is not “nihilistic.” Their ideology directs them to die while killing as many infidels as they can. The more they kill, the merrier will be their reward in heaven, they believe. Commenting on the ISIS barbarous killing of Foley, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Mich, said, “America got a glimpse of exactly who they are…this is a group you need to deal with.” Why wasn’t “this group” dealt with already? Has our leadership waited until the ISIS had the opportunity to commit a heinous crime against an (American) individual that would outrage Americans, so our government would feel justified to take appropriate measures against the ISIS? If that’s what they wanted, they got it. Americans now understand that ISIS, which according to our government sources, is not in the U.S. yet, could be a problem. But how can this clueless Administration assure the public there are no ISIS supporters and sympathizers here? How successful would law enforcement agents on the look-out for ISIS operatives? ISIS and other jihadis have learned to operate under the radar, until a decision is made to strike. Our Defense Secretary announced that the “ISIL is…beyond just a terrorist group. They marry ideology, a sophistication of strategic and tactical military prowess.” But this is not unique to ISIS. Iran-trained Hezbollah and Hamas, for example, share the same main agenda with ISIS–to force sharia on the world.. Thus far the Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestinian branch, Iranian-trained and supplied Hamas, has failed to carry out its plan to destroy the Jewish State of Israel and kill all the Jews only because Israel readied itself. In the meantime, Hamas, like ISIS, does its best to kill its own Muslims. As if Mr. Hagel’s surprise at ISIS capabilities were not enough, he seemed to admit that the U.S. is unprepared to defend against groups such as ISIS. “We must prepare for everything… and “get ready,” he said. The ISIS and the other jihadi groups must have been thrilled to hear this. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Martin Dempsey, had this to add: “ISIS will only truly be defeated when it’s rejected by the 20 million disenfranchised Sunni that happen to reside between Damascus and Baghdad.” What about the other hundreds of millions of Sunnis who share ISIS jihadi ideology? And the thousands of foreign fighters who flock to Sunni training camps in Turkey, courtesy of the country’s newly re-elected president, Muslim Brother Recep Tayyip Erdogan. On August 20, 2014, Walid Shobat posted a video “showing the ISIS training centers in Turkey” for all supporters of al-Qaida to the Middle East. Watch the video and hear the speaker calling to “Destroy and blow up our enemies, victory is near … young men, enroll, land and win .. young men its our religion attack with your weapons and win .. spread throughout the earth and raze the strongholds of the unbelievers.” Shobat.com reported that “as far back as March,” there were ISIS “training centers in Orfa, Ghazi Antab and Antakia (Antioch), [which were] set up by the Turkish government for more terrorists to be sent to Syria.” Judging by the U.S. leadership’s surprise, one has to reach the conclusion that the U.S. Administration was either not privy to similar information, or that it decided to ignore it. Incredibly, Obama said the conflict was not a “religious” one, but rather one of a shared “common security and a common set of values.” “The ISIL speaks for no religion,” Obama said. “Their victims are overwhelmingly Muslim, and no faith teaches people to massacre innocents. No just god would stand for what they did yesterday and what they do every single day. ISIL has no ideology of any value to human beings…people like this ultimately fail. They fail because the future is won by those who build and not destroy.” However, considering the pace at which ISIS is advancing, the growing numbers of fighters who are joining the group, the sophisticated (mostly American) weapons they have captured, their growing treasury, and the U.S. lack of will or ability to respond decisively–or even willingness to identify the jihadi ideology behind the ISIS as THE problem – the future will belong to those willing to identify jihad and its practitioners and fight it and them.

Demand for inquiry into incidents of communal violence in UP

New Delhi – Yogi Adityanath, MP elected from Gorakhpur for BJP, shredded so-called secularism of Congress in Parliament. Congress had demanded discussions on incidents of communal violence in Uttar Pradesh (UP). Yogi Adityanath was speaking during the discussions. He accused that Congress, only talking about communal harmony, was mainly responsible for creating rift amongst people on the basis of communalism and Congress’ hands were totally dipped in violence. He demanded that inquiry into incidents of communal violence in UP should be conducted through Judges of Supreme Court.  

Yogi Adityanath presented the following points while shredding so-called secularism of Congress

1. More than 12 lakh Saints, Seers and priests stay in India; but Congress announced salary only for Imams. Same policy has been adopted by the State Governments of Delhi, Bengal and Maharashtra. Is this secularism of Congress?

2. Displacement of 3, 50, 000 Hindus took place from Kashmir; but Congress never registered even simple protest against the same; so holding discussions in Parliament on this issue, was out of question.  

3. UP Government has given 20% reservation to Muslims in Government schemes.

4. There is encroachment on Government land for burial ground in UP; but the Government is paying no attention to this encroachment.

5. UP Government withdrew cases against terrorists only for vote bank.

6. There were 118 incidents of violence in the year 2012; 247 incidents in 2013 and 235 such incidents from March to May 2014.

7. As per the Court’s order, work of Gurudwara was going on in Saharanpur; but the Government and Administration was not ready to follow Court’s orders.

8. There are 3 mosques and 1 temple in Kaanth. Loudspeakers are allowed on all 3 mosques but some people are objecting to have loudspeakers on temple. This led to riots; still the Government showed indifference.

9. Congress has so far not uttered a word against kidnapping of a Hindu young woman in Meerut and her forceful conversion in a madarasa.

10. In the year 2012, riots took place in Assam; but Congress never had discussions in Parliament on that issue. Congress kept mum when local Bodo people were being killed in Assam. Moreover, Congress targeted the Chief Minister who talked in favour of Bodo and criticized him. Congress advocated the cause of Bangla Deshi infiltrators responsible for Assam riots.  

11. Today equation of this country has changed due to Bangla Deshi infiltrators. Four districts of Assam are struck with violence due to Bangla Deshi infiltrators. They have settled there by grabbing lands. Instead of driving out infiltrators, Congress granted them permission to have Wakf and issued ration cards to them; thus Congress has played with security of this country. Congress has developed more affinity towards Bangla Deshi infiltrators and is treating Hindus staying there for thousands of years, as aliens.

12.  Raza Academy instigated riots at Azad Maidan in Mumbai for Muslims from Myanmar; they damaged martyr’s memorial; beat up police and media representatives; still Congress kept quiet. Followed with this, there were riots even in Bareli, Kanpur, Prayag, Lakshmanpuri; Congress, however, did not raise voice even against these riots; but the same Congress quashed movement started by a patriot like Baba Ramdev by thrashing him amd his followers. What right does such Congress have to talk about communal violence ?

13. Congress kept quiet even during Bhagalpur riots.

14. Congress, that carried out massacre of Sikhs in 1984, does not regret it even today.

15. Congress and communists held a special session of State Legislative Assembly only to demand release of terrorists nabbed in Coimbatore and Bengaluru bomb blasts.

16. Congress divided people with Sacchar Commission’s report.

17. Congress, which divided this country in 1947 on the basis of communities, has no right to talk about communal violence. Even today, Congress is creating division amongst people of this country and working as per Pakistan’s agenda.  

Points presented regarding fanatics

1. Those, who feel and believe, "people believing only in their one God have right to live and not others," are the real communalists. There is no place for communalism in Hindu Dharma as it believes in ‘Sarvetra Sukhinah Santu’.

2. Indian Muslims going for Haj pilgrimage are known as "Hindus" once they are out of India; still the same identity is not acceptable to them once they come back to India.

Points presented about Hindus

1. Hindus are not communalists but they are symbol of patriotism.

2. Hindus need to be aware of conspiracies hatched against them and they should unite.

3. Congress will have to pay the price for defaming Hindu Dharma.
