Muslim leaders unanimous in criticizing Justice Katju’s comments
By Manzar Bilal, TwoCircles.net,
Patna : Recently a 16-year old Muslim student Mohammad Saleem of a Christian minority school in Madhya Pradesh has moved to the Supreme Court against an order of the MP High Court rejecting his petition challenging the decision of his school to throw him out for refusing to shave his beard.
On March 30, a Supreme Court Judge Justice Katju rejected the plea of Mohammad Saleem and passed a remark saying, "We don't want to have Talibans in the country. Tomorrow a girl student may come and say that she wants to wear a burqa, can we allow it," Justice Markandeya Katju said speaking for a bench headed by Justice Raveendran.

The comment of Justice Markandeya Katju angered Muslims community. Muslim leaders condemned it strongly and called it unfortunate for a democratic country.
Talking to TwoCircles.net Maulana Anisur Rahman Qasmi nazim of Imarat-e- Sharia Bihar, Jharkhand and Orisa, said: “This comment is because of narrow-mindedness and also because of insufficient study of religions while to have knowledge of religious obligations is necessary for a judge especially a Supreme Court judge”.
He further said that if keeping beard is against secularism then Justice Markandeya Katju should give a verdict to remove prime minister of India from his office who keeps beard along with turban because one who does not follow the secularism, has no right to be PM of secular India.
“Such kind of remark by communal elements and political parties is not new but surprisingly it is first time by a Supreme Court judge which is not a good sign for the future of the country” said Maulana Syed Nizamuddin, the Genral Secratry of Muslim Personal Law Board while talking to TwoCircles.net
Maulana Syed Nizamuddin who is also Ameere Shariat of Imarat Sharia of Bihar, Jharkhand and Orisa, also told TCN: “When a Sikh is allowed to sport beard then why Muslim is not, why this double standard in the same country?”
“It is really very sorrowful matter that a Supreme Court judge stops to follow the religious obligation which is given by the constitution of the country. The use of word “Talibanism” indicates anti-Muslim view of the judge. This is an immoral and immature statement” Maulana Waris Mazhari, the editor of Tarjaman-e-Deoband” told TCN.
“Government is responsible for such kind of statement because it is the government which said first that beard is not necessary for Muslims. At that time we also said that government is not Mufti and we filed a case against it in Supreme Court” told Hasan Ahmad Qadri, Genral Secratry of Bihar Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind. “Now this condemnable comment by a Supreme Court judge and has created anxiety among Muslims” he said.
Syed Sanaullah, Nazim of Idara-e-Sharia Bihar said that such kind of person does not fit to be a judge of Supreme Court at all who tries to spread communalism in a democratic country by his hate remark. “We will protest against this decision at the national level” he told TCN.
Siddiqulla Chaudhry, the president of PDCI and Genral Secratry of WB Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind, said: “This verdict of Supreme Court is against religious right and SC does not have power to take a decision which goes against any religious faith. So, SC should reconsider this verdict” said he to TCN.
Maulana Abdul Hameed Nomani, the spokesperson of Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind, called it a personal remark and not a verdict of SC.
“It is not a verdict of Supreme Court But it is personal remark of Justice Markandeya Katju because it would be decision when it was said after hearing the plea. But justice Katju rejected it before hearing so, how it could be a verdict?” he told TCN adding “ Yes it is a matter of concern that even a Supreme Court judge is influenced by anti-Muslim factors so much that he gives an unconstitutional comment. Secularism means that government does not have any particular religion but it can not stop any one to follow his religion on the contrary it has to protect all the religions so, it is not only against Muslim’s faith but also against the laws of our country.”
Criticizing on the remark of Mr. Markandeya Katju that he would not allow a girl to come school wearing burqa, Maulana Abdul Hameed said: “When a girl comes nude or half-nude to school or public places then Markandeya Katju does not stop her but when a girl comes to school wearing burqa, it is not acceptable to him.”
Maulana Syed Ahmad Bukhari, the Imam of Jama Masjid of Delhi, expressed his sorrow on this behavior of Justice Markandeya Katju and said that instead of linking beard to Islam he has linked it with Taliban which is objectionable. “Beard and burqa are parts of Muslim Laws in which interference of any one can not be accepted. When beard and burqa are allowed in Western countries then why in a democratic country these would not be permitted?” he told Media persons.
Dr Zafarul-Islam Khan, President of the AIMMM, said that it is very unfortunate that a Supreme Court judge should nurse such biased and communal ideas and hide behind his claim that he is “a secularist to the core”. Our idea of secularism does not deny religious people their right to abide by their religion in a peaceful way which does not hurt anyone else in any way. Rather, true secularism means that the State will not have an official religion and that it will not interfere in the religious beliefs of its citizens.
“Islam is the religion of peace and beard is an important part of Islamic Shariah while Taliban is the name of fundamentalist organization. Therefore to link beard with Taliban is wrong” said Maulana Arshad Madni, the president of Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind, in a statement. “We have informed the government Islamic opinion about beard. Supreme Court’s duty is to protect laws not to break laws while this decision is totally against Indian law” Maulana mMadni further stated who is on a trip to Britain.
Maulana Mahmood Daryabadi, general secretary of All Indian Ulama Council, while talking to TwoCircles.net called the decision ‘sorrowful’ and said, ‘The verdict is the result of the judges being influenced by the propaganda of communal elements against Islam. No one has the right to interfere in religious affairs. Muslims are duty bound to grow beard and therefore those not doing so consider themselves to be sinful.’ He asked if there was no objection on namaz (prayers) then why on beard.
AIMMM is planning an appeal against the judgment.

Do the moderators even read the comments before posting them??
when my friend introduced me to two circles i did take a keen interest, but it is turning out to be just another of many forums where Indian and Pakis turn on each other, strating out with abuses to each others countries, followed by religion, eventually ending up claiming to do a lot of not so poilte things, with the others mommies and sisters.
@Abu,@anti chadi..and @ all the hate filled anonymous(s)..
whats wrong with you guys??
India for a good or for bad is not a country rules by 'Hindus' or has ever had a govt at center with pro Hindu agenda, dont know where you get the idea from, as said before either u r not an Indian and if u r one, then u cut an xtremely sorry figure, if we look up a webster dictionary for the word 'shame ', probably we will find a reference to you 2 morons...
Finally to the moderators..please for the love of god, read a post before publishing it..

H'ble Justice Markandey Katju Commnets
Justice Katju is one of the leading legal experts of this country and i can assure that He is capable of teaching shariah laws to most of the mullahs of this country.The cases in the courts are tried on their merits not on emotional levels,most of the schools have guidelines, dress code and they are informed when someone goes to admit their wards.
I appeal to all of the people not to jump to conclusion, and not just pick one line which i guess is being blown out of proportion for no reason.
What is more important is to ensure that the community is educated and not tied to the petty matters of life.
I am also a muslim but this does not mean that i keep fighting for no reason, fight for education both religious and worldly and beleieve me you will achieve great heights.
Disgraceful remark by Justice Katju
Evidently, the most disgraceful remark by Justice Katju shows his lack of knowledge about Muslim Personal Law and his hatred towards muslims. As it was rightly pointed out by one of the contributor here.
If Justice Katju's logic is to by applied, Dr.Manmohan Singh, our current Prime Minister is a Taliban. All muslims and Sikh should be considered as extremists ???, as they follow their religions and are not cowed by Justice Katju's
standards.
Unfortunately, our law does not screens and allowed such communal minded individuals to reach temple of justice.
The least said is Justice Katju has brought shame to Supreme Court and he does not deserve to be there for even a single more day.
Such individuals incites hatred and fans the passions of communities by their pin headed statements and no doubt why our societies still suffer from all injustices.
Justice Katju, if at all you have any shame left, resign and go to Himalaya and become hermit.
Judicial system is above all
LAW AND DEMOCRACY IS ALL ABOVE IN OUR COUNTRY. YOU HATERED PEOPLE CANT UNDERSTAND THIS FACTOR. SHAME ON YOU PEOPLE WHO ARE USING THIS KIND OF ABUSIVE LANGUAGE FOR OUR JUDICIAL SYSTEM. SHAME ON ALL OF YOU
KAFIR JUDGES HAV ALWAYS TWISTED CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF MUSLIMS
60 YEARS OF CONSTITUTIONAL FAKE RIGHTS CAN BE WITNESSED BY ANYBODY. SHAME TO INDIAN DEMOCRACY. ITS TIME FOR MUSLIMS TO ACT AND GET THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO WEAR BURQA OR KEEP BEARD ANYWHERE IN COLLEGES, OFFICES, DOORDARSHAN NEWS CAST, AT ALL GOVT PLATEFORMS, NO MATTER IF SOME MUSLIMS OPT OUT TO PRACTICE BUT EACH ONE MUST FIGHT AND SEEK THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.
YES, EVERY MUSLIM IS A FUNDAMENTALIST WHEREVER HE/SHE LIVE, BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IN FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS. AGAIN YES, EVERY MUSLIM IS A TERRORISTS WHEREVER HE/SHE LIVE, BECAUSE WE BELIEVE TO TERRORISE PEOPLE FROM THE HELLFIRE WHICH STARTS RIGHT FROM DEATH OF A KAFIR, AS HIS BODY IS BURNED TO ASHES IN FIRE/HELLFIRE AND ALL HIS FRIENDS (REAL ENEMIES WHO NEVER WISHED HIS/HER GOOD) WATCHS AND ENJOYS THE SHOW. AGAIN YES, EVERY MUSLIM IS A SAVIOUR & GLADTIDER, BECAUSE WE SAVE AND ENCOURAGE TO LIVE FAITHFUL LIFE ENABLING ONESELF TO HEAVEN. AGAIN YES, EVERY MUSLIM IS A TALIBAN WHEREVER WE HE/SHE, BECAUSE WE ARE STUDENTS (TALIBS) OF ISLAM, BECAUSE WE WANT TO PUT YOUR DAUGHTERS WIFE(S) SISTERS IN BURQA SO THAT THEY NO MORE STOLE OUR HEARTS TEASING US MALES WITH THEIR SHOW OF CHIKNI-BODY, BODYLINES AND BODYPARTS.
YOU KAFIRS HIT YOUR HEAD ON HARD WALL AND REPENT TO SET RIGHT YOURSELF AT THE EARLIEST. AFTER ALL HELL IS TO YOU KAFIRS, AND HEAVEN IS TO WE FAITHFUL MUSLIMS ONLY. THIS CLEAR THING CANNOT BE EASILY UNDERSTOOD BY KAFIRS WHO ARE SATAN WORSHIPPERS, DRINKERS, GAMBLERS, STREET-FUCKERS, RANDIBAAZS, HARAMKHORS.
MAY THE REALGOD HELP YOU KAFIRS UNDERSTAND THE PURPOSE OF LIFE AND ADOPT TO THE ONLY TRUE FAITH THAT IS ISLAM, OR ELSE YOU YOURSELF START THE LIFE OF HELLFIRE WITH BURNING OF YOUR DEAD BODIES ON EARTH.
EQUALLY IMPORTANT IS THAT ITS TIME FOR INDIAN DEMOCRACY TO PROVE WHETHER IT FULFILLS THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF MUSLIMS OR SIMPLY ITS FAKE DEMOCRACY TO CRUSH MUSLIMS OF INDIA WITH JUST ONE PERCENT GOVT. JOBS AS AGAINST TWENTY PERCENT POPULATION, NO EDUCATION FACILITY, NO AMENITIES IN MUSLIM LOCALITIES, HATRED AGAINST MUSLIMS IN GOVT. INSTITUTIONS.
abutahir - Allah NOT help his "azeez ahal al byat"- why you???
abutahir,
You say "HEAVEN IS TO WE FAITHFUL MUSLIMS ONLY". But your ALLAH did not help the "AHL AL BYAT", so why do you expect any help from him??? Remember what happened at KARBALA!!!!!
INCIDENT AT KARBALA
1--The water supply was cut off by the Yazid MUSLIM army to the Hussains(as) camp. Children were crying for water, the women were desperate for water.
2--Yazid MUSLIM army set fire to the Imam's tents which were occupied mostly by frightened females and children.
3--Ali Akbar, Husain's (as)son lead the fight and died. His sister and other women in the camp were horrified and shocked at the scene.
4--Abbas and five other brothers of Imam Husain (as)went to fight and died
Next the sons of Imam Al-Hasan (as)and their cousins (about 17 of them), all in their teens went out and died.
5--By the afternoon 70 brave persons had died . All had fought under severe thirst, dehydration, exhaustion, and agonizing feeling for the family of the Prophet (pbuh) . Imam Husain (as) heard his baby crying because of the thirst and he held the six months old youngest son (Ali Asghar) in his arms, and appealed to the YAZID MUSLIM fighters for some water. But the baby was shot with an arrow killing him instantly. Imam Husain (as)filled his palm with the blood of the baby, and threw it upwards toward the sky, complaining to Allah (swt),
"O' Allah, O' my Lord! My consolation is the fact that Thou in Thine Majesty are witnessing what I am going through."
6-- Imam Hussain (as) went to fight and was killed. His head was cut off to be carried on the tip of a spear to Yazid
7-- The Muslim horsemen to trample upon the supine bodies of Imam Husain(as) and all others killed, to disfigure them even further.
For three days the exposed bodies were left lying in the desert of Karbala.
8--The Muslim army took the women and children of "ahal al byat" as prisoners in shackles, and proceeded to Kufa. At the forefront of the procession were the heads of Imam Husain (a.s.) on the tip of spears. This was the leftover of the beloved family of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), all caused by Muslims!
See para 5. If the cry of anguish of Imam Hussian(as), grand son of ALLAHs AZEEZ and LAST PROPHET after seeing his own six moth old son die in his own hand, was NOT heard by ALLAH how do you, a mortal, expect any help from ALLAH. The Ladies of MUHAMMADS house hold would have "cried out to ALLAH beating their chest" when one by one each male member of the family was killed by YAZID MUSLIMS but ALLAH did not do anything for them!!! So all MUSLIMS are doomed in this life and in the next life as MUHAMMAD intercede with ALLAH to put all YAZID MUSLIMS, who took ladies of his house as slaves and killed all male members, in "boiling oil" and deep fry you!!!!. Wasn't Muhammad visiting ALLAH mounted on BARAQ??? So fear the wrath of ALLAH and MUHAMMAD you YAZID MUSLIMS and convert to Hinduism to save from the "hell fire" which Muhammad and ALLAH has made for all you in th hell.
rights of Muslims
In a TRULY secular country, there should be one civil rule for all. And that civil rule should be based not on religion but on the spirit of humanity, ethics, and modern science. If anyone tries to force any so called principle drafted in medieval times they should be put behind bars. Such people prevent the country's growth and a hindrance to MODERN INDIA. Anybody who tries to say 'this is the last word' or 'final truth' is DOGMATIC. The INDIAN nation should suppress such people by locking them up in jails forever. INDIA should create its own GUANTANAMO type of jails where such people can be kept away from society forever.
taliban
With elections round the corner maybe the judge is trying to help a communal party like the bjp win the elections by polarising the society. This is definitely against the secular credentials of our constituition.
Muslim's right
I hope every muslim male starts growing the beard and every muslim women wearing the veil. then we can see what the SC can do.
Justice Katjus remarks
Justice Katju's remarks are very saddening specially when it is coming from the highest court of the country. The words used about beard and burqa by him shows about his narrow mindedness. It will not be condemnation of the court if we say that he is a communally biased person. He shouldnt have commented that we dont want talibanisation of the courty. Does growing beard means the person is taliban. He should learn the concept of taliban and growing beard and wearing burqa in islam. How ever this is an insult to the supreme court and am sure that the majority of honourable judges in supreme court will not be of his views.
The sentiments of the Muslims all over India is hurt by justice Kutja's comments. My opinion is that, therefore The Chief Justice of India should interfere and find a solution to this matter and see that such things never happen again.
katju or ...
democratic nation in india,the politicians and higher officials exatly police and intelegence departments always discriminating muslims and their believes,markandeya katju is a supreme court judege or a senior leader of sangparivar.at last a supreme court judge cant understand about the religious rights and terrorism.katju first read about our constititution with narrow mind............advocate, chennai highcourt.
Katju - bow! bow!
yeh zaroor RSS ka paltu kutta hoga
choice at will or choice with force
talibanisation is the name of choice with force ,if you impose restriction on somebody either to keep or not to keep the beared against his will then it is wrong.
If hon'ble judge think that keeping beared is a sign of extremism then we must seriously think how much knowledge about Islam our top executives have.It will be good if someone from ulema clear the concept of beared before media.This is a good opportunity.
I do believe that every private school or college has its right to make norms for its institution.one can follow that if want to get the admission there.
JUDGES NOT HONOURABLE. BEWARE BACKDOOR HINDUISATION TAKES ON
KAFIR JUDGE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, MOSTLY SARKARI KUTTAs THOSE COMMITTED TO KEEP MANKIND AWAY FROM ISLAM, SHOULD NEVER BE CALLED 'HONOURABLE'. SUCH JUDGES ARE NEVER WORTH THE WORD 'HONOURABLE'. THEY ARE THE WORST TWRISTERS, PIYAKKADDS, HARAMKHORS, LIARS, SUPPRESSORS OF TRUTH, MOREOVER DESPITE UNDERSTANDING THE TRUTH THEY ARE COMMITTED TO FALSIFICATION OF TRUTH, COMMITTED ENEMIES OF ISLAM, HELL IS TO THEM.
DESPITE SO MANY CASES OF BEARD AND BURQA ACROSS INDIA, OF POLICEMEN, OF SOLDIERS, OF STUDENTS, THE GOVT. HAS NEVER BOTHERED TO INITIATED ANY STEP TO BUILD AND RESTORE CONFIDENCE OF MUSLIMS. THE MATTER CAME UP FOR FEW WEEKS AND DISAPPEARED WITH THE CONTINUAL SUFFERING OF THE CONCERNED PERSONS. THEY HAVE ALWAYS FACED UNTOLD TARUMA OF THE UNKIND UNJUST SITUATION WHERE THEY HAD TO KILL THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL LEGITIMATE WISHES OR HAD TO LOOSE THEIR JOBS. SHAME TO FAKE DEMOCRACY OF INDIA.
DEMOCRACY IS HYPOCRACY. IN INDIA DEMOCRACY IS FAKE WHERE BACKDOOR HINDUISATION IS CONSTANTLY TAKING PLACE ALL ACROSS THE ADMINISTRATION AND GOVT. ESTABLISHMENTS UNDER GOVT. EXPENSES WITH REGULAR PUJA OF BOGUS BHAGWANS IN GOVT. OFFICES, WITH PUJA OF FALSE GODS IN ALL INUAGURAL CEREMONIES, AT SAMADHIS MURDA WORSHIPS, LEADER-IDOL INSTALLATIONS FOR THEIR GREATNESS INSIDE PARLIAMENT AND AT CROSSROADS IN EVERY TOWN CITIES AND THEIR WORSHIPS, HELL IS TO THEM ONLY.
TALIBANISATION IS THE ANSWER TO HINDUISATION. SEE THE PALESTINIANS, BOSNIANS, CHECHENS, IRAQIS, AFGHANS, AFRICAN MUJAHIDEENS, MAY ALLAH HELP THEM. EITHER THEY ARE NEGATED TO LIVE OR FORCED TO SHUN ISLAM OR FORIEGN RULE IS IMPOSED UPON THEM. START JIHAD TO DEFEND YOURSELVES FROM UGLLY VICIOUS DESIGNS OF KAFIRS. LEARN TO LIVE AND SURVIVE TILL THE MOMENT MUSLIMS HONOURABLY TAKE THE SEAT OF POWER TO EASTABLISH THE REAL DEMOCRACY THAT IS ISLAM.
U r not Indian Muslim
Dear Abutahir,
You are certainly not an Indian Muslim. You are perhaps a Pakistani or a Zionist with a muslim name. People like you can only bring misery to the milions of Indian Muslims. Who said India is not democratic? First think of the fate of Pakistanis in Hands of our own muslims. Do you endorse the ongoing terror in Pakistan? Do you feel only Hindus are creating terror in Pakistan the Islamic Country and what about the other Islamic Country to our neighbor the Bangladesh? Who is causing all the mess there in Bangladesh?. Be a 100% Muslim if you want to be called a Muslim otherwise don't just make senseless statements and cause pain in an otherwise peaceful society.Even in this case of Honorable Justice Katju I only feel that things should be seen in reference to the contest. Hon. Justice Has already given his explanation to TCN team, you can not blame any one anti Muslim just based on one of his act. Don't be so harsh on your fellow citizen we should know the art of co existence when we are in a multiple society like India. Lastly don't ever boast of Islamic democracy which has never been seen in any part of the world except a couple of countries. Most of the Islamic countries are neither peaceful nor democratic.
Islamic Democracy
Dear Aftab,
I am realy very much delighted from your article in the blog. Your statement to Mr. Abutahir that he is certainly not an Indian muslim seems true. The kind of word he has used in his blog must be critisized. He also tried to potray the narrow mentality of the Muslim community. This type of person only create chaos in the peaceful world. His wish to make the world an Islamic Democracy is the part of his narrow thinking. I think he is must a Pakistani. That's why he is talking all these nonesense. He must remember that Pakistan is the Islamic Democracy and Most Chaotic country in the world. Their main issues are only religion, nothing else. I think according to Mr. Abutahir the meaning of Islamic Democray is the Talibanisation of the world.

Beard, Taliban and Markandeyan
This is a matter of Human Rights. One has the right to sport the beard or not is the question. Surely School has the right to take its own decision. If the school has issued its code prior to the admission the students should obey its orders.
“We don’t want to have talibans in the country. Tomorrow a girl student may come and say that she wants to wear a burqa, can we allow it?” observed Justice Markandeya Katju
If sporting beard is Talibanism then Manmohan Singh, Srisri Ravishanker, Swami Ramdev have to be expelled from this country. Let Markendaya issue an order.
Here in the Judgment Justice Markendaya crossed the limit and tried to insult a community. By compelling something or trying to tease a community Markendayan proved himself a Talibanist. He should quit the job or he should be ousted from the post. No need of soft speaking to these poisonous snakes. Better to eliminate such things in its budding stage. India is secular and will be secular. No Markandeyans is in a position to destroy the religious amity among the people.
today's secularism
Dear Miss Pratibha,
Could you tell me the meaning of secularism.According today's scenario in the india is praising muslims and being anti Hindu is secularism for vote bank Mr. Sri Ravi Shanker and Sri Ramdev is the religious face. So you can't compare these face to general people.
Religious Face!
Dear Sri Pankaj
We are Indians. You are asking me the meaning of secularism. If I am an English teacher I will say "it is doctrine that rejects any religious consideration". But as a Dharmik I have to explain that it means all the citizens have their right to preach and practice their religion.
I feel that you are speaking about 'muslim appeasement' by the government. "Please look around" is my simple answer. How a sect become the worst educated and backward in India? Is it not our Dharma to protect those who are backward and uplift them? Though 60 years passed, still Muslims are financially, educationally and politically backward. Do something for them, is the command from our Lord.
Sri Ravi Sanker and Sri Ramdev are religious face! Then what about you and me? Do you know our Dharma? Our view on God? Do not allow anyone to play 'GOD'. I am not criticising them. I used them as symbols who sports beard.
Thanks for your attention and try to contact me in future if have any doubt on any political-social issues.
Prathiba
Our Dharma
Dear Miss Pratibaji,
I wish to convey my thanks to you and will really welcome your view over the secularism. And I agree with your view that all the religion should have right to preach and follow their Dharma. But you are only seeing the one part of the coin; we need to see other one also. We can't be so strict in the modern society to evoke our own faith to others. If everybody will start to become extremist in the society, none of the organization will run smoothly. For example if in the army; we would allow Muslims women to have a burqa just for religious shake, that can't be justified. There is a certain rule and regulation of an organisation, entity, and the nation, which should always be followed by every individual. This is also our real dharma. We can never try to put our thought and faith to others. Whether, it is directly or indirectly.
Here, I certainly would like to clarify one thing, I am neither a Hindu extremist nor an anti Muslims. However,I will always protest those things, which are diluting poison in the modern society.
You are talking about the backwardness of the Muslim community since 60yrs in our country. They are educationally, politically and financially backward; this is not bcoz of the people of India. This creditability not only goes to the politician but also the fascist forces in the Muslim religion. We can't consider only India for this issue. If we look at the other Muslim dominated country in the world, we will find the same issue. They can't be the part of developed society until and unless their Mullahs and Maulvis come forward and fight against the old and baseless practices. We just can't be stick with those customs and tradition which used to be good in the old age. If those things are obstacles in our development; it better to leave it. Whether, it exists in any religion.

60 years of Hindu Rule -India ranked 109 out of 121 in Peace ind
A Golbal Peace Index was published with a ranking of countries from the most peaceful to the most violent. The peaceful nature relates both to the country's internal state and also its interaction with other states.
Here are the top 10 nations out of 121.
Rankings
1. Norway
2. New Zealand
3. Denmark
4. Ireland
5. Japan
6. Finland
7. Sweden
8. Canada
9. Portugal
10. Austria
Here are the bottom 11 nations out of 121.
109. India
110. Uzbekistan
111. Sri Lanka
112. Angola
113. Cote d' Ivoire
114. Lebanon
115. Pakistan
116. Colombia
117. Nigeria
118. Russia
119. Israel
120. Sudan
121. Iraq
Here is my analysis
The rankings show many predictable features. Norway comes the top out of 121 nations. It is a country known for being a peaceful state, its citizens and governments are responsible, it is a country that gives 1% of GDP as aid with no political strings attached, and it has tried to arrange peace between other countries and warring groups. It deserves its position.
Iraq is at the bottom. It is a country at war, so that is no surprise. It would not have been in that position otherwise.
The U.S. is at 96 out of 121 ! It might surprise but it should not. Internally citizens in the U.S. are not safe due to their gun culture. Externally, the U.S. has a record of waging wars on false pretexts.
Where is India ? Its rank is 109 out of 121 ! It is the correct position.
I have mentioned to many people it is a pseudo-democracy. It is a country where citizens are murdered by police in fake encounters, where politicians organize pogroms to get elected, where caste and communal violence are routine. There is no trust between citizens, and between citizens and organs of the state. Kashmir and Assam are ruled by the army and the gun. India has territorial disputes with Pakistan and China.
Chaddhis (Hindutva Hindus) tell us the Hindu curve is going up. When the Hindu curve goes up, India goes down ! Look at the countries that became independent after India, see where they are – Malaysia, Singapore, Korea and others.
Many of the Muslim countries who Pankaj derides are ranked higher than India in the peace index – Oman is 19, Emirates is 38, Saudi Arabia is 90 ! Out of 57 Muslim countries, the majority come above India.
So what has 60 years of Hindu rule done for India ?
The reason India will remain in this position is the Hindu mentality.
Instead of creating situations where Godhra and Gujarat do not occur again, they think it was a successful experiment, and they will do more of it ! This the thinking of the sort of people who rule India.
Pankaj, your writing is like Mr AK Singh's arithmetic.
And earlier, you were boasting about the Hindu curve going up. Now, you sound considerably downbeat. What is the matter Pankaj ? When debating with Anti Chaddhiwala, people like you AK Singh don't whether your dhoti is bound or unbound !
Anyway, the article is not directly about the rate of economic growth, it is about citizens living in peace within a country and with their neighbours. If you notice, Bhutan comes quite high in the rankings. Bhutan is not known for growth. U.S. despite being economically strong is a violent country.
If peace is the criterion, your Hindu party, the BJP, brought the culture of mob rule and bomb blasts to India. So what are you talking about ?
India deserves its place at the bottom. It is a country where citizens do not have security, where people are murdered according to caste and community, where to win an election, politicians organise a riot, and where some states are ruled by army.
Is this not the reality ?
I notice from your tone that you recognise the reality, but you find it difficult to face it.
Unless the Hindus show better performance, would it be wrong in saying Hindus are incompetent ?
You should be thinking how Hindus could improve so that they could be good managers of India.
Agree
Dear Mr. Anti Chaddhiwala,
You can considered Mr. A. K. Sinha comment as my reply to your commnent.Because I agree with him.

Anti Chaddhiwala- Violene due to Islami Fanatism
Most violence in the world are propagated by Islamic Fanatics. The percentage of Muslims in Top peaceful countries are as under:
percent Muslims
1. Norway 0.5
2. New Zealand 0.5
3. Denmark 2.0
4. Ireland 0.1
5. Japan 0.1
6. Finland 0.1
7. Sweden 1.5
8. Canada 2.0
9. Portugal 0.2
10. Austria 1.5
-Under 2% Muslim population in country and they will be a peace-loving minority.
The Gulf countries are almost 100 percent Islamic and of SUNNI CASTE, and so may be peaceful. Any Islamic country with SHIA and SUNNI CASTE will never be at peace, Iraq, Pakistan etc are examples.
India is at 109 position because of Indian Muslims. The source of violence in INDIA is Islamic Fanaticism.
Kashmir, which is the only part of India which has 95 percent Muslims are the most violent and the violence is sponsored by another Islamic Country PAKIs.
Assam violence and ULFA problem is because of infiltration of Bangladeshi Muslims.
The terror attacks are also by Islamic Fanatics in India and from Pakistan.
Indian position will improve drastically if MUSLIMS who claim to follow the "most peaceful religion" actually do so.
The Hindutva violence is a retaliation of the Hindus to violence by Muslims.
Who said India has a HINDU RULE. Mr Varun Gandhi is supposed to have stated something against MUSLIMS and he is in JAIL under NSA but the CONGRESS PCC PRESIDENT OF AP stated exactly same thing against HINDUS and nothing has happened to him. I AGREE INDIA IS PSEUDO DEMOCRACY, but it is due to APPEASEMENT OF MINORITIES. IF YOU ARE SO UNHAPPY AND CRITICAL OF INDIA, why don't you go to the INDIAN MUSLIMS PROMISED LAND, PAKISTAN or BANGLADESH. ISRAEL allows migration of all JEWS to ISRAEL, whenever any of them seek it. Similarly Pakistan and Bangladesh must keep emigration option open for all INDIAN MUSLIMS UNHAPPY IN INDIA.
Where is Afghanistan, Somalia, Ethiopia etc on the list or are they more peaceful than India???
60 years of Hindu Rule -India ranked 109 out of 121 in Peace ind
A Golbal Peace Index was published with a ranking of countries from the most peaceful to the most violent. The peaceful nature relates both to the country's internal state and also its interaction with other states.
Here are the top 10 nations out of 121.
Rankings
1. Norway
2. New Zealand
3. Denmark
4. Ireland
5. Japan
6. Finland
7. Sweden
8. Canada
9. Portugal
10. Austria
Here are the bottom 11 nations out of 121.
109. India
110. Uzbekistan
111. Sri Lanka
112. Angola
113. Cote d' Ivoire
114. Lebanon
115. Pakistan
116. Colombia
117. Nigeria
118. Russia
119. Israel
120. Sudan
121. Iraq
Here is my analysis
The rankings show many predictable features. Norway comes the top out of 121 nations. It is a country known for being a peaceful state, its citizens and governments are responsible, it is a country that gives 1% of GDP as aid with no political strings attached, and it has tried to arrange peace between other countries and warring groups. It deserves its position.
Iraq is at the bottom. It is a country at war, so that is no surprise. It would not have been in that position otherwise.
The U.S. is at 96 out of 121 ! It might surprise but it should not. Internally citizens in the U.S. are not safe due to their gun culture. Externally, the U.S. has a record of waging wars on false pretexts.
Where is India ? Its rank is 109 out of 121 ! It is the correct position.
I have mentioned to many people it is a pseudo-democracy. It is a country where citizens are murdered by police in fake encounters, where politicians organize pogroms to get elected, where caste and communal violence are routine. There is no trust between citizens, and between citizens and organs of the state. Kashmir and Assam are ruled by the army and the gun. India has territorial disputes with Pakistan and China.
Chaddhis (Hindutva Hindus) tell us the Hindu curve is going up. When the Hindu curve goes up, India goes down ! Look at the countries that became independent after India, see where they are – Malaysia, Singapore, Korea and others.
Many of the Muslim countries who Pankaj derides are ranked higher than India in the peace index – Oman is 19, Emirates is 38, Saudi Arabia is 90 ! Out of 57 Muslim countries, the majority come above India.
So what has 60 years of Hindu rule done for India ?
The reason India will remain in this position is the Hindu mentality.
Instead of creating situations where Godhra and Gujarat do not occur again, they think it was a successful experiment, and they will do more of it ! This the thinking of the sort of people who rule India.
Pankaj, your writing is like Mr AK Singh's arithmetic.
And earlier, you were boasting about the Hindu curve going up. Now, you sound considerably downbeat. What is the matter Pankaj ? When debating with Anti Chaddhiwala, people like you AK Singh don't whether your dhoti is bound or unbound !
Anyway, the article is not directly about the rate of economic growth, it is about citizens living in peace within a country and with their neighbours. If you notice, Bhutan comes quite high in the rankings. Bhutan is not known for growth. U.S. despite being economically strong is a violent country.
If peace is the criterion, your Hindu party, the BJP, brought the culture of mob rule and bomb blasts to India. So what are you talking about ?
India deserves its place at the bottom. It is a country where citizens do not have security, where people are murdered according to caste and community, where to win an election, politicians organise a riot, and where some states are ruled by army.
Is this not the reality ?
I notice from your tone that you recognise the reality, but you find it difficult to face it.
Unless the Hindus show better performance, would it be wrong in saying Hindus are incompetent ?
You should be thinking how Hindus could improve so that they could be good managers of India.
If We Can't Protect; atleast do not Destroy them
Dear Sri Pankaj
Glad to know that you are not an extremist. Be a good Dharmik and do good to the people and oppose the evil. May God Bless you.
You wrote: “In Army if Muslim women to have burqa…” well done my boy, you are thinking too far.
When Muslim women will come to our army? It is not because they can’t, but because they are not recruited due to the ugly mind set of the Indian authority. That is partly the answer for your question also.. Muslims become backward also due to this ugly mindset.. That’s where we have to oppose. Equality to all Indians is our dream. But Muslims are not recruited (recently) in Army – men or women. When an enquiry commission asked to survey the Muslim status inside our army, government denied the request.. Why? Stories are not so good to tell in public. We the Indian authority did a lot of crime to them. Congress or BJP, the backwards are backwards and becoming more backwards.
A nation will not move ahead if minorities are deep in crisis and poverty. We can’t call it progress.
You are partly right when you pointed out the Muslim dominated country's status...but in such situation total population or the nation itself is in poverty or disaster (Ex: Sudan)
In India the scenario is different. Most of the people are doing well, while Muslims and Dalits are far below....
Deny the Job, deny the Education. If they did some progress (Ex: Ahmedabad) we will destroy their entire wealth and force them to poverty and disastar. A Sanathan (Dharmik) can't agree with this immoral and fanatic, fascist hooliganism.
Ugly Mentality.
Dear Miss Pratibhaji,
You have raised an issue regarding the status of Muslims in the Indian Army. I am strictly not agreeing with your views on this issue. There is numbers. of Muslims; who are serving in the Indian Army. You said “Due to the ugly mentality of Indian Authority, Muslims are not being recruited so frequently in the IA". Well, I would like to ask you "why this mentality for Muslims arises in the country? Why the same does not lies with other Minorities". The answer is “Because they have hardly attached themselves with Indian Mindset". They always prefer to attach themselves with the mentality of outside forces (Which are influenced by Islam).
They always prefer Islam first above Nation. Why Jammu & Kashmir needs large no. of Indian Armies to operate the Normal lives there? Terrorist have been spreading their connection day by day in the country. This is not because of their strength; only because, they are getting local supports. And the question is "why they are supporting them”; not because they are unhappy with Indian govt.; because, they are influenced with Islamic mentality. Here I wish to tell you one more thing “Islamic Mentality does not want to adjust with other culture,they want other culture to adjust with them”. That's why they forced Hindus (Kashmiris Pandit) to migrate from J & K. Nobody is having mercy for them. Even the state Govt has not taken any initiative to re-settle them.
Now we can also see the violence in Assam. There population of Muslims is increasing due to the Bangladeshi Infiltration; respectively problems are also rising to the local people. ULFA is being backed by Muslim organizations; and targeting non Muslims.
Here I would like to clarify no one is having ugly mentality; because any body is Muslim. Muslims need to analyze themselves why this is happening. Why this is for them only? Why this bad mentality is not for Sikhs, Christian, and Buddhist etc.?
You are saying they are being denied from education and jobs. I have not seen and read such a case yet. Even the people of India appreciated them for their good works for the country. Our H’nble scientist Dr. A. P. J. Kalam is also a Muslim. Who has done a lot to become India a nuclear power. He has been appreciated not only by Indians; but also by the BJP govt. We can also take the example of our film Industry. Where, superstars are mostly from this particular community. Who have made them superstars?It’s Indian. Indian have always accepted them from the soul and hearts. They have not considered their religion; but appreciated their contribution.
Last but not least “why do we call Muslims a minority community?” Does it justify with the population of 25crores in the country are minorities? Which is more than Pakistan’s & Afghanistan’s population.
Punkaj
Discrimination does Exist in India
Dear Pankaj,
Thanks for your questions.
Your question: "Why ugly mentality arises against Muslims?"
My answer: Media is strong in democracy. It is fourth estate. Until Malegaon Bomb Blast enquiry report, it was our belief that all the terrorist action was done by Muslims. (Thanks to great Hemant Karkare). So we hate Muslims. Even we afraid the Muslim name. In text book we wrote the Muslims as the opposite of Hindus. But what was the truth?
After Swamis and sadvis are arrested for terrorist activities it is learned that 'hindues' (I strongly oppose the religious link to terrorism) also in action. After Malegaon, it is proved that Ajmer Blast was also the work of 'hindues'. Then Samjotha Express...Mecca Masjid... All these were done by 'hindues' and not by Muslims. (Interestingly not a single bomb blast is done by Muslims in an organized way)
While we believed that Muslims are terrorists our mindset was against Muslims. We denied jobs to them. We are not ready to recruit them to our army. You can see someone, but it is not the deserving share or proportion. (Why Muslims are not in job for high ranks. They should get 15% jobs in India, according to population. But they have about 1.5%)
Now we come to know that Muslims love India much more than anyone else. They never did any crime to India. (I am not speaking about the outsiders. I am speaking about the Indian Muslims) At least now we have to apologize to them and we have to give them equal rights and equal oppurtunity.
You are speaking about Kalam. That means Muslims are doing their best services to India. Islam demands the loyalty to mother country. Serve your nation and protect your country is a teaching by Prophet Muhammed.
Thanks and Regards

Muslim Democracy all over the world.
The Muslims follow 10 Step Islamic Democracy as under.
Stage 1 -Under 2% Muslim population in country and they will be a peace-loving minority. countries with under 2% Muslims- United States - 0.6%, Australia -1.5% Canada -1.9% China -1.8% Italy-1.5% Norway-1.8%.
Stage2 -2% to 5% Muslims and they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, with major recruiting from street gangs. Countries with 2% to 5% Muslims:- Denmark - 2% Germany - 3.7% UK - 2.7% Spain - 4% Thailand -4.6%.
Stage 3 -5% to 10% Muslims:- They will try to exercise inordinate influence disproportion to their percentage of the population and will insist on being ruled by Sharia. Countries with 5% to 10% Muslims:- France -8% Philippines -5% Sweden -5% Switzerland - 4.3% Netherlands- 5.5% Trinidad & Tobago 5.8%
Stage4 -10% to 20% Muslims. They increase lawlessness and vociferously complain about their condition and discrimination. Any non-Muslim action offends them resulting in uprisings and riots. Countries with 10% to 20% Muslims:- Guyana -10% India -13.4% Israel -16% Kenya 10% Russia -15%. The BEARD GROWING IN SCHOOL complaint is part this "discrimination" facade.
Stage5 20% to 30% Muslims. Nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings. Eg Ethiopia-- Muslim 32.8%
Stage 6 -40% to 60% Muslims. Nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare. Countries with 40% to 60% Muslims:- Bosnia - 40% Chad - 53.1% Lebanon - 59.7%
Stage 7 -60% to 80% Muslims. Nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide)and use of Sharia Law as a weapon. Countries with 60% to 80% Muslims:- Albania -70% Malaysia 60.4% Qatar -77.5% Sudan -70%
Stage 8 - Above 80% Muslims. Daily intimidation and violent jihad, State-run ethnic cleansing, genocide, as Muslims of such nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim. Countries with above 80% Muslims:- Bangladesh -83% Egypt -90% Gaza -98.7% Indonesia - 86.1% Iran -98% Iraq -97% Jordan -92% Morocco -98.7% Pakistan -97% Palestine - 99% Syria - 90% Tajikistan -90% Turkey -99.8%, UAE -96%.
Stage 9 - 100% Muslims is supposed to usher in the peace of 'Dar-al-Islam' -- the Islamic House of Peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrassas are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word, Countries with 100% Muslims Afghanistan -100% Saudi Arabia -100% Somalia -100% Yemen-100%.
Stage 10 But the killing doesn't stop as Muslims can not stop killing each other. Eg Afghanistan
correlation between muslim population as % of total and their b
A very interesting thing(study) indeed.
Try a Love not hatred..Muslim democracy all over the world..
May god give you peace and love which u real miss in your life.
let me begin with this good wish. As u r influenced by anger and helplessness feeling, the outcome of this is frustration and depression, jelous and blood boiling. meanwhile, the one who suffer as minority, they are ready to accept the reality but not ready to lose their dignity by giving up their faith. is that makes you hating them or showing some sympathy to a dying man. search for peace in your mind and heart, if there is a single drop of love, it can grow to cover whole citizens even non living creatures.
try loving others.
M. K. Baig- Islam & love /peace is oxymoron.
M. K. Baig- read abutahir's comment of 4 April 2009 - 8:09am. Then you will understand why ISLAM and LOVE/Peace is oxymoron. One side of all violence in the world- India, Malaysia, Philippines,Thailand, USA, Europe etc etc are lead by ISLAMIST if not both the sides like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Somalia, etc etc. The PAKI muslims have no problems about blowing up MOSQUe along with Friday NAMAZIS, but Indian Muslims are fighting with Hindus for a Mosque which was under dispute for a long time in a place, "AYODYA", which is sacred to all Hindus for more than 3000 years, a time when ISLAM was NOt even thought of!!!!!! And mr BAIG speaks of love- peace.
Fitting reply with data to fascists. By Mr.Azeem Taqi.
Fitting reply with data to fascists. By Mr.Azeem Taqi.
To this data from the scary facts about Islam by Peter Hammond is copyright violation, how come it was allowed on this forum. Well if this is the case then one of my friends Mr. Azeem Taqi has replied to Peter Hammond. Hope these reply will give neutralization to the false propaganda of CIA.
SCARY FACTS About ISLAM -Dr. Peter Hammond.
Peter Hammond
Here's how it works.
As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part being regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens. This is the case in:
United States -- Muslim 0.6%
Australia -- Muslim 1.5%
Canada -- Muslim 1.9%
China -- Muslim 1.8%
Italy -- Muslim 1.5%
Norway -- Muslim 1.8%
Azeem Reply
The Muslim population in the above countries is taken ad verbatim from the CIA Fact Book so you know exactly who is behind this propaganda. Incidentally, over 90% of the slaves brought from Africa to America were Muslims and forcibly converted to Christianity. Any comments on that? - Besides tearing them away from their families, treating them as sub humans, they were also forced to abandon their faith on pain of hunger. Could we blame Christianity for this? While on this, you had blatant apartheid in South Africa till the last decade and it exists even today under the surface in South Africa and the US - read the Ku Klux Klan and their ilk, you also have the abhorrent caste system in India. Neither apartheid nor the caste system has any place in Islam. Shall we blame Christians and Hindus for it?
Peter Hammond
At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. This is happening in:
> Denmark -- Muslim 2%
> Germany -- Muslim 3.7%
> United Kingdom -- Muslim 2.7%
> Spain -- Muslim 4%
> Thailand -- Muslim 4.6%
Azeem Reply
Have Christians not was proselytizing disaffected groups in India, Korea, Taiwan, China, etc. This brings us back to the point that fundamentalists of every faith and not just Islam want to convert others. Even an extremely eminent personality like Mother Teresa said, in her last days that she was unhappy and not being able to harvest more souls for Christ. If this is not proselytism, what is? Incidentally, from the above countries, Spain was 95% Muslim at one time and now at 4%, so it is the Catholics who have proselytized Muslims.
Peter Hammond
From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves -- along with threats for failure to comply. This is occurring in:
France -- Muslim 8%
Philippines -- Muslim 5%
Sweden -- Muslim 5%
Switzerland -- Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands -- Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad & Tobago -- Muslim 5.8%
Azeem Reply:
The author conveniently missed out that France as a colonial power ruled the North African Muslim countries of Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco and a vast majority of the 8% Muslims in France (quoted above) are descendants of slaves brought to work for their white master back in the day. Philippines were Buddhist till a few centuries back. The author points out that 5% have become Muslim but conveniently ignore the fact that 85% are Christians. Coming to Sweden, the Muslims there are of Russian descent that were kicked out of St. Petersburg and adjoining areas, ditto for Switzerland, and the Netherlands. The people of Trinidad and Tobago are of African (Muslim) descent that were brought as slaves and forcibly converted.
At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.
Like I reiterated twice before, conversion of the whole world is the aim of all fundamentalists and not of simple folk following whatever faith they want to. Is the neo con Pax Americana charter not explicit about their aim - One mankind under Jesus?
Peter Hammond
When Muslims approach 10% of the population; they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris, we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam, with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam. Such tensions are seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections, in:
Guyana -- Muslim 10%
India -- Muslim 13.4%
Israel -- Muslim 16%
Kenya -- Muslim 10%
Russia -- Muslim 15%
Azeem Reply
I never have, done not and shall never justify lawlessness and violence, no matter what. Coming to the issue of the above countries, there is no problem in Guyana whatsoever. In India, Hindus too have come under the scanner for the Malegaon blasts, the burning of the Samjhauta Express etc, and recently there were Hindu and Christian riots in Karnataka, and Orissa. The terrorist activities of ULFA, which had nothing to do with Islam and Muslims. You have genocide in Rwanda, barbaric killings between the LTTE and the Sri Lankan army, the only two times atomic bombs have been used by the US against the hapless Japanese, tribal warfare in Africa, the deportation of millions by Stalin (incidentally here Muslims in their millions were forcibly sent to the cold deserts of Siberia from the plains of Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, and Tajikistan), you have Hitler seeking to annihilate all the Jews, you had Jews being crucified on stakes because it is alleged Jews crucified Jesus centuries back - where Sir, where does Islam come into all this?
Peter Hammond
After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues, such as in:
Peter Hammond claim:
Ethiopia -- Muslim 32.8%
Azeem Reply
where is the problem in Ethiopia?
Peter Hammond claim:
At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare, such as in:
Bosnia -- Muslim 40%
Chad -- Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon -- Muslim 59.7%
Azeem Reply
In Bosnia, it was rather the Muslims who were slaughtered by the Eastern Orthodox Christians of Serbia and not the other way round.
Chad has no problems at all. Lebanon is fighting against the illegal occupation of its land by Israel and this has nothing to do with religion.
Incidentally, both the Prime Minister and the Army Chief of Lebanon are Christians though it is a Muslim majority country by your own admission. Could you please give a reverse example? Incidentally, the Vice President under Saddam of Iraq, Tariq Aziz, was also a Christian.
Peter Hammond claim
From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels, such as in:
Albania -- Muslim 70%
Malaysia -- Muslim 60.4%
Qatar -- Muslim 77.5%
Sudan -- Muslim 70%
Azeem Reply
Come on, give me a break. At least the author should have verified figures and facts before varnishing it with lies.
Albania was a Communist state under the Soviet sphere and every religion - Islam, Christianity, and Judaism was banned.
Malaysia is done quite fine, thank you. Minor skirmishes do occur but show me one country where they do not.
Qatar is a haven of peace and prosperity and in fact is one of the few Muslim countries to have diplomatic relations with Israel.
Sudan is divided into the Muslim North (70%) and the Christian South (30%) and they live happily in their own enclaves. In fact, the only issue on faith that ever arose was when John Gerung of the Southern Christian Liberation Army (SCLA) tried to capture portions of the North and he was beaten back. If Darfur is the issue, then both sides to the dispute are Muslims so the argument put forth by this biased writer falls flat and dies a natural death. Incidentally, the Darfur problem was first highlighted in 1986 as a human rights issue but none was concerned. The sudden spurt of T shirts sporting www.savedarfur.org area consequence of oil being discovered there and the greedy.....wanting to loot it under the guise of the UN Peace program.
Peter Hammond claim
After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced and in some ways is on-going in:
Bangladesh -- Muslim 83%
Egypt -- Muslim 90%
Gaza -- Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia -- Muslim 86.1%
Iran -- Muslim 98%
Iraq -- Muslim 97%
> Jordan -- Muslim 92%
> Morocco -- Muslim 98.7%
> Pakistan -- Muslim 97%
Palestine -- Muslim 99%
Syria -- Muslim 90%
Tajikistan -- Muslim 90%
Turkey -- Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates -- Muslim 96%
Azeem reply
Bangla Desh - The minority population was 13% in 1947, 15% in 1971 and is 17% today so where is the ethnic cleansing?
Egypt - Has been traditionally 90% Muslim with a 10% Coptic Christian minority, so?
Gaza- Was three times bigger than it is - the Jews of Israel have taken their lands, so it is the Gazans who have been ethnically cleansed.
Indonesia - is traditionally Muslim, it was Buddhist till the 3rd century when the Hindus overran it, and then Muslim traders introduced Islam there is the 16th century. Incidentally, Aceh with a Christian population ceded from Indonesia - point to note.
Iran - Has been Muslim from over a thousand years. Besides, it has the biggest Jewish population after Israel and the US and they are well off and even represented politically. Besides, a lot of Zoroastrian activities are actively incorporated in Persian Islam besides Tehran boasting of one of the oldest 'Gurdwaras' in the wordl which Guru Nanak Saheb Ji himself visited.
Iraq - The Shia- Sunni - Kurdish problems are internal to Islam.
Jordan: - Probably the biggest ally of the West in that part of the world. The King's mother is American.
Morocco - Quiet place.
Pakistan - Agreed it is bad but who has propped the corrupt and the fundamentalists to this position of power?
Palestine - Poor chaps have lost their country. At least don't insult them.
Syria: - Totally leftist. The only fundamentalism there is from Iraqi refugees. No two guesses as to who created the Iraqi mess.
Tajikistan - Is the author only listing names of Muslim countries for no rhyme or reason? Tajikistan is a quiet, mountainous place where the US is trying to get a toe hold to offset Russian influence.
Turkey - Acknowledged as a secular, Westernized, country. It is a part of the NATO alliance, en route to becoming a part of the EU,
United Arab Emirates: - Modern, secular, quiet. In fact, if the total population including expatriates is taken up, Muslims share second place with Hindus and the Christians in first place.
Peter Hammond claim
100% will usher in the peace of 'Dar-es-Salaam' -- the Islamic House of Peace. Here there's supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrasses are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word, such as in:
Afghanistan -- Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia -- Muslim 100%
Somalia -- Muslim 100%
Yemen -- Muslim 100%
Azeem reply
Afghanistan is a mess because of super power rivalry. Incidentally, 'Ariana', their national airline had a head start over all regional airlines including Air India and, in fact, the great J R D Tata had sent the first batch of Air India pilots to train there.
Saudi Arabia - Agreed, heart and soul of fundamentalist Islam but...who is supporting the Kings there? Who approached them and joined hands with them to abandon the gold standard which is the root cause of the global economic meltdown today? Who supplies them with weaponry? Physician, heal thyself is apt here.
Somalia - The Un itself acknowledged that the Islamic Courts were doing fine but it was Bush and Cheney, allergic to the word Islam that overthrew them and....As regards the Purace problem we have today, it was French ships that went into their territorial waters and snatched their fish (read livelihood) so the hungry simple folk took to piracy...lesson ---you rob your bread....I come to take it...you say my religion is bad..This defies illogicality to its limits.
Yemen: - tribal society at peace with itself and the world in general.
Unfortunately, peace is never achieved, as in these 100% states the most radical Muslims intimidate and spew hatred, and satisfy their blood lust by killing less radical Muslims, for a variety of reasons.
'Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; the tribe against the world, and all of us against the infidel. -- Leon Uris, 'The Haj'
Leon Uris is not God that his word should be taken as gospel truth. OK, Adam had two sons - Kane and Abel, and Kane killed Abel - now you'll say Kane was a Muslim. Christian belief says Jews caused the suffering and crucifixion of Christ - were they Muslims? Was Hitler a Muslim? What about the white supremacists, the profounder of apartheid, the adherents of the caste system. those who threw atom bombs, cultivated slavery, Stalin deported millions to Siberia, Mao killed millions in his cultural revolution, the Viet Cong atrocities, the genocide in Rwanda, the razing of entire countries and the destruction of their infrastructure - Iraq, Afghansitan, the sanctions on Cuba for basic human needs, the skinning alive from top to toe of an old Vietnamese women by an American general, gay marriages, proxy wars,.....I could go on and on....my point is fundamentalist Muslims are wrong and must be destroyed but.....so also should the committers of crimes under different heads.
Thanks
Moash - I am reminded of SHOLAY
Moash - I am reminded of SHOLAY when Amitab Bachan goes seeking the hand of "Basanthi" for "Veeru". All bad habits of Verru are because of others. Similarly all negative aspects of Islamic states are because of "others"- Slave trade, Jews, Pakis, Afghanistan, Saudis, Sudanis etc etc.
You have followed the typical sequence of Muslim answering technique:
1.Point a finger at someone else
2.Deny and Blame
3.Blame the Jews, Americans, or Hindus
4.Tell absurd stories from Qur’an and Hadith that the Muslims have been brainwashed with from childhood.
5. Then when backed into a corner…starts throwing insults/abuse at every one .
Malaysia has only 60.5% Muslims and have declared themselves an Islamic state. Why can't India with 85% Hindus declare India a Hindu state ?????
Lastly since you have started from Old Testament and ended at Vietnam and USA may I ask you what happened at Karbala. Here is it to refresh you memory:-
INCIDENT AT KARBALA
1--The water supply was cut off by the Yazid MUSLIM army to the Hussains(as) camp. Children were crying for water, the women were desperate for water.
2--Yazid MUSLIM army set fire to the Imam's tents which were occupied mostly by frightened females and children.
3--Ali Akbar, Husain's (as)son lead the fight and died. His sister and other women in the camp were horrified and shocked at the scene.
4--Abbas and five other brothers of Imam Husain (as)went to fight and died
Next the sons of Imam Al-Hasan (as)and their cousins (about 17 of them), all in their teens went out and died.
5--By the afternoon 70 brave persons had died . All had fought under severe thirst, dehydration, exhaustion, and agonizing feeling for the family of the Prophet (pbuh) . Imam Husain (as) heard his baby crying because of the thirst and he held the six months old youngest son (Ali Asghar) in his arms, and appealed to the YAZID MUSLIM fighters for some water. But the baby was shot with an arrow killing him instantly. Imam Husain (as)filled his palm with the blood of the baby, and threw it upwards toward the sky, complaining to Allah (swt),
"O' Allah, O' my Lord! My consolation is the fact that Thou in Thine Majesty are witnessing what I am going through."
6-- Imam Hussain (as) went to fight and was killed. His head was cut off to be carried on the tip of a spear to Yazid
7-- The Muslim horsemen to trample upon the supine bodies of Imam Husain(as) and all others killed, to disfigure them even further.
For three days the exposed bodies were left lying in the desert of Karbala.
8--The Muslim army took the women and children of "ahal al byat" as prisoners in shackles, and proceeded to Kufa. At the forefront of the procession were the heads of Imam Husain (a.s.) on the tip of spears. This was the leftover of the beloved family of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), all caused by Muslims!
So Moash, this is ISLAM at infancy. Killing prophets "aziz -ahal al byat". So why blame Hitler or American Generals. Do you know how the women of ahal al byaat was treated by YAZID MUSLIMs and how has all SAYEDs been born.
yes. brother muslims in
yes. brother muslims in afghanistan 90%, but no hindhu and sikhs killed by them in riots, in pakistan no no hindu temple was demolished, but pakistan govt,give funds for reconstruction of old temples your leader mr.Advani also went to pakistan and unveil a reconstructed temple.(that he told about jinnah)and no hindu killed by muslims pakistan, and no hindu women raped and burnt alive in roads....this is muslims democracy.
Wake Up..
You must perhaps be sleeping dear brother. You might not be aware of the condition of Hindus and other minorities in Pakistan or Afghanistan. Just recently 30 families from Pak's Punjab reached India on a short period of Visa meet them and convince them if you can to return back to Pakistan the land of Islamic Republic. They are so frightened that they left all their assets and almost ran out of pakistan to India, they say that they may hapily stay in Indian jails (for not returning after the completion of their Visa period) but they will not return back to Pakistan where they were living for the past 60 years. If some one say no temples are damaged in Afghanistan he might surely not be aware of the fate of the Buddha statues of Kandhar which were blown up just 4-5 years back. It is not true that there are no riots happening in Pak or Afghanistan they are not being highlighted by the media there and the minorities there do not have the freedom to talk of their problems. Leave the fate of minorities do you atleast aware of the conditions of your own Muslim Girls and guys who do not follow the dictates of Talibans in Swat and other taliban dominated areas. Get up of your deep sleep brother you just can not sleep away all your life come in terms with the truth, India was/is and will be the safest place not only for Muslims but all the minorities. I am sure even if the entire muslim world lost today due to internal fights and external forces Muslims of this land will still be alive and be practicing their faith without any fear that is India do you understand?
iniavan - temples have been destroyed in KASHMIR!!!!!!
iniavan,
Who ever told you that Temples have not been destroyed in Pakistan???? Most of the village temples left behind by Hindus while migrating to India have been demolished and even after Ayodya incident more than 100 temples were destroyed in Pakistan. The Indian "SECULAR" media does not report it, fearing NSA. Afghanistan is 99.9999% Muslims and still they blasted the "BEMIYANA BUDDHA", even though there are NO BUDDHIST worshiping it!!! WHAT YOU HAVE STATED IS PURE "taaquia".
Even recently HINDUS have fled Swat in Pakistan after Sharia was imposed, and have entered India through ATTARI, Punjab.
Why go all that far. In a country with 85% Hindus, Kashmiri Muslims have destroyed all the village temples of Pandits. Want specifics. The SHIVA Temple in Budgam, near the BUDGAM GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL has the MUSLIM girls from the school throwing stones into the temple pond. (Check it if you want). Some important temples like "Khir Bhawani", Shankaracharya Temple on Shankaracharya Hill near Dal Lake etc has not been vandalized as they are protected round the clock by Security Forces.
SO "TAAQUIA INIAVAN", stop you "TAAQUIA" propaganda.
The school has the right to
The school has the right to enforce certain rules on students. If it is important for this one kid to grow beard , the school rules needn't be changed. He can go to a school where they allow it. The democracy is not just for the benefit of this kid or beard growers. If the school believes in having culture where public display of religion is kept to minimum, then they have democratic right to do so. Onbly those who believe in such culture, where education is more important than show of religion can join the school, others c an go somewhere else. Yes, even sikhs shouldn't have been allowed to have beard. PM post has no such rules, so he can keep.
Seems like the above
Seems like the above comments are from a communal person,anti-muslim.These are the real culprits,the true communal by birth type of people,as they supports these type of anti-India,anti-Muslim ideology.These type of people should be hanged to death or else they will divide the India on religious line.
reply to a guy who has said about hanging
first of all i want to laugh at your comments--muslims are disgraced for their killings and you have upheld that belief..you want to hang those ppl? ehh cant you think better than taking life?
I Agree U R Right But...
Well I agree with your point that any school may have it's dress code and certain rules to be followed by its students, one who can follow those rules may study in that school and one who don't like to may simply opt another school. There is no point in making it an issue.
However it is not fair for Justice Katju to comment the way he did (if he had made those comments) "We don't want to have Talibans in the country. Tomorrow a girl student may come and say that she wants to wear a burqa, can we allow it,". Just growing beard or wearing a burqa which is the prime tredition of Muslims can not be equated to Talibanization. A person sitting in such a respective post should not have made such an irresponsible comment and it would surely heart any community. It is certainly a condemnable act and should be brought into the notice of his higher officials.
Srinath, I don't know why no
Srinath,
I don't know why no one quotes this part of Katju's observation.
“If there are rules, you have to obey. You can’t say that I will not wear a uniform I will [wear] only a burqa,”
He is saying one can't compromise on rules(not wear uniform)to accommodate a personal belief,there is no consensus or a clear ruling on how important beard and burqua are in koran etc. Only indirect inferences. Also think, madrasas are not accommodative even in case of muslims who may not wear burqas, they impose with uniformity, why ask seculars or missionaries to change rules, something that madrasas won't even entertain. Talibanization is religion invading secular space entirely, whether ramsene or the request of this case seek to do the same. I don't think Justice meant muslims are violent or imposing kinds by saying taliban, yes it sounds harsh and could have used some other word. He simply meant talibans are those who(need not be muslims, can be ramasene)don't let seculars have space for themselves while very much having uninvaded space for themselves. No one stops ramasene from doing what they think is rght, but they have no business telling others(secular or religious Bar hoppers)what to do. Same with students who want to grow beard, they can go grow beard in school that allows, but have no business telling schools(secular, hindu or ,missionary) what rules it should make.
