Shariath Protection Council mulling legal action against Chidambaram

By TCN News,

Chennai: In a latest development showing that the pressure is being mounted against Home Minister P. Chidambaram to withdraw his objectionable statement on Jihad, Tamilnadu’s Shariath Protection Council is considering to take a civil or criminal action against the minister.

Shariath Protection Council has written a letter to the Union Minister urging him to clarify his position on the media reports about his statement equating Jihad with terrorism and describing it as a war against unbelievers. The Council has termed the minister’s statement on Jihad as baseless and a gross insult to Islam and Muslims.

“In your 22nd Intelligence Bureau Centenary Endowment lecture in New Delhi on Wednesday the 23rd (December 2009) instant, you are reported to have termed jihadh as “a war or struggle against unbelievers.” Kindly let me know: whether you said that sentence, which the media has reported? On what authority have you based your assertion, which, I have the least hesitation to state, is baseless and a gross insult to Islam and Muslims,” said S M Pasha, Convenor of Shariath Protection Council in his letter to Chidambaram written on December 30.
Shariath Protection Council has asked him to clarify his position in a week otherwise it will be forced to take civil or criminal action against him.

“If I fail to receive your reply within a reasonably short period – say, one week from the date of receipt of this letter, I will constrained to take such civil and/or criminal action as I deem it fit and necessary in the circumstances of the case,” Pasha said in the letter.

Meanwhile, various Muslim organizations and religious leaders have condemned Chidambaram for his statement on Jihad. They include Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, All India Muslim Personal Law Board, Social Democratic Party of India and Tamilnadu Muslim Munnetra Kazhagam.

Know well before you write about anything!

It is regrettable that many bloggers lack the nuances of writing on controversial issues!
Thanks to the "islamophobiac Western Media", the violent actions of mis-guided youth,claiming to be Muslims,in Palestine, Chechenya,Bosnia,
Phillipines, Kashmir,and at times in India also, as acts of "Islamic Terrorists"!
Islam abhors "compulsion and Violence"!God has made the Muslim Society a "middle-ordered- society", whose mebers arobliged to stick to the middle order and NOt to deviateanytime, to any extreme!(Refer Verse143 of Chapter Two of the Quran).How, then, could any Muslim ever become a "terrorist"?Hence, "islamic Terrorism" is an oxymoron only.
As far as India is concerned, the original inhabitanys have been the Dravidians,who worshipped natural phenomena.Aryans who came from central Asia did not bring their "wives' or their "religion"!They married local womenand considered the "locals"as contemptuous or "malechas"!They accepted the Vaishnavism of cwestern and north east India and "saivaism" of the rest of India.And later on called their religion "Santana Dharma!"
After the Sepoy Mutinee of1857, British did not want the two major communities to get together.So, they misinterpretted Indian History andcreated a cleavage betweenthem.Anon, they introduced the Railways and the Schools.They played up the community factors to the hilt in both.In the railway stations there we "Hidu" Refreshmsnt rooms and "MRRs"!One brought Hindupani(water) and another Muslimpani!
To make his stay comfortable he resorted to "Divide and Rule" policy.
That led to big bloodshed, exodus of millions and the divison of the country into Pakistan and India!
After India adopted a constitution and the elections held, one paarty followed the British policy and caused the demolition of a heritage Masjid in 1992!AS late as in 2009, they were asserting that the Constitution did not reflect the aspirations of the Hindus , who were in a majority!The PM candidate assured to usher in an era oof "jan-sadhu shakti"!The forward looking yoth of the nation refused to toe their line.
yet some minister has made the faux pas that islamic terrorism has led the others to emulate them!It is hoped he will see the fallacy of it ere long.

Chidambaram, Swami Ramdev should apologise: Vinay Katiyar

Chidambaram/Jehdis

Chidambaram is perfectl;y right to make this statement. jehadis are blowing up planes (one tried just on Christmas day in detroit), killing people indiscriminately (like in Pakistan, Yemen). India should be vigilant to keepo these Jehadis out. It is for the good of Muslism only that they keep away from these Jehadis.

This is not the time for "political correction"; but decisive action to wipre out thsse islamofascists.

Kurien's crusading agenda

Mr.Raju Kurien, If you go to Orissa,Gujarat and Maharashtra, you will find hundreds of Christians are being reconverted to Sanatna Dharma by RSS.If you are the next prey of RSS, I just want to hear your reaction. Come on Mr.Kurien
Crusaders are the real terrorists as the study on Anthalusia(Islamic Spain) has proven that one of the major genocides in the world is executed in Anthalusia by Christian crusaders.Then they continued the same in other parts of the world including India.We Muslims cann't easily forget what happened to us during 1857 freedom struggle in Delhi and 1921 in Malabar.The Crusaders carried out an ethnic cleansing in Goa where Hindus were victims.Your policy of divide and rule is no longer successful in India as we Hindus and Muslims want to stand united against any threat to our nation.How long can you retain the British legacy which provided you a lot of wealth in terms of land and educational institutions when you are afraid to hold a pure Christian name?Your future is dark and you are going to be faided away.

Are Raju Kurien and

Are Raju Kurien and Chidambaram want Indian Muslims to follow the media interpreted version of Jihad or they want to know what actually Jihad stands for according to the authentic Quran and Islamic teaching and follow the right one.

Are people like Raju and Chidambaram inciting the Indian Muslims to follow the media interpreted version of Jihad ?

What about Col. Prohit and his campanions

what about the killer of Ganndhi Ji. WHo is he. Who killed Karkare. what about Santathan Sabha?
who is backing India's most terrorist organization RSS?

nasir - every action has equal and opposite reaction.

nasir - It is law of Physics- every action has equal and opposite reaction. So what is happening is reaction to fanatic, terrorist Muslims. RSS was also reaction- reaction to formation of MUSLIM LEAGUE in 1906. It was founded in 1925 as a reaction to violent ISLAM including the violence spread in India during KHILAFAT MOVEMENT- disrupting life in India for some stupid reason in TURKEY over which Indians had no control. Muslims continue the same style even till date disrupting life in India for some "Danish Cartoon" or a "Salman Rushdie" book. The earlier MUSLIMS desist from such stupidity the better it is for them.

For your kind information, laws of Physics are not binding on a "multiracial society"!If it were to be so accepted then the land will become a permanent "Krukshetra!"
The British learnt the lesson after the 1857 uprising to "keep the two major communities-Hindus and Muslims eternally divided to make their rule safe!
A group of Hindu extremists under Savarkar formed the All India Hindu Mahasabha"and wanted to create an exclusive Hindu state.And they made the cow slaughter as an emotive issue and communal clashes became frerquent. This led Muslims to form The Muslim League.They clamoured for reservations on the communal basis and sought safeguards for the community.Finally,they demanded the creation of Pakistan and got it!
It is very unfortunate that political issues of Chchenya, Bosnia,Algeria,Palestine, Phillipines, Afghanistan , iraq, Iran and Kashmir have been directed by Muslim clergy and hence it is called "Islamic Terrorism". They are all political matters and have nothing to do with the Islam or the grammar of "Jihad"!

History is different

The MARATHAS effectively ruled India- from Attock to Allahabad and from Jammu to Madurai from 1725. The MUSLIMS of India invited Ahammad Shah Abdali, the Afghan ruler and joined hands with the Afghans to defeat the MARATHAS at third Battle of PANIPAT 1761, weakening the MARATHAS making it easy for the British to defeat them. More importantly, MIR JAFFER handed over BENGAL to the British in Battle of PLASSY 1757.

In 1857, MUSLIMS JIHADIS wanted to re-impose ISLAMIC RULE through ZAFAR and what is wrong if HINDUS did NOT wanted to trade “one slavery” under British, for another “worst kind of slavery” under Muslims. HINDUS were smarter and more intelligent- they got the BRITISH to finish off the MUSLIMS- millions of MUSLIMS were killed in North India in the aftermath of 1857, and then pushed what is left into Pakistan. Had Pakistan not been formed it would have been India fighting with Afghans. So if any Indian MUSLIM is unhappy in India feel free to migrate to any other ISLAMIC COUNTRY and since GULF countries will not accept you go to PAKISTAN.

Hey stupid!dont drag war

Hey stupid!dont drag war against oppression of muslims in your stupid terminology.Chechnya,afghanistan,algeria.philipines.iraq,iran wars are the wars started by Crusaders against Islamic countries for OIL.GAS AND ENERGY.
Whats wrong if islamic scholars direct and support it?It is islam and only islam who can keep this oppressors knees down!One tyrant russia is down!Obama is in line and next is dragon china!

Foreign policy

Dear Anon,
Your comments betray a lack of common sense - no one in the world lives in a silo, during the World Wars, Indian soldiers fought on the British side- now tell me, what interest did they have in European politics?
This proves that Muslims are actively concerned about global affairs and at least have a coherent foreign policy or can contribute to the same, instead of dancing to the tunes of foreign powers.
Apart from the religious angle, initiating the Khilafat movement was a positive step in Indian politics, as it put additional pressure on the British and contributed to global attention to the affairs in India. You should know that the government-in-exile, set up in Kabul had Raja Mahendra Pratap as its leader.
By your logic of control:
"violence spread in India during KHILAFAT MOVEMENT- disrupting life in India for some stupid reason in TURKEY over which Indians had no control", Subhash Chandra Bose should also never have formed the INA in alliance with the Axis powers, and Gandhiji would never even protest the apartheid in South Africa- did they ever think they could control Indian affairs by their actions?
Muslims have every right to protest the Danish cartoons- we do not even condone Hindu gods printed on undergarments in the West, as Islam does not believe in insulting others despite our differences in belief.

SHAHEEN- The argument is hollow

"Indian soldiers fought on the British side" because they were getting paid for it. Do you think anyone will join ARMY- Indian PAK or Bangladesh if they were not paid salary???

"Subhash Chandra Bose should also never have formed the INA in alliance with the Axis powers" hoping it would assist in India becoming independent.

"Gandhiji would never even protest the apartheid in South Africa" Gandhiji protested because APARTHEID discriminated against Asians too.

What benefit Indias would accrue by KILAFAT. And if INDIAN MUSLIMS had problems about DANISH CARTOONS go protest there. Why make rest of INDIA the target when we had nothing to do and had our sympathies with Indian Muslims.

Freedom war started,maintained,and completed by Khilafat.

Anon,British attacked india in the guise of east india company and Muslims lost their kingdom in india.You can have look today in TCN on Bahadur shah Zafar.The last emperor of muslim india.Muslims launched a war on britishers in 1826 to recapture Delhi.in 1837 more than one lakh muslim WAHABIscholars& MUJAHIDEEN were hanged by british army on trees for fighting freedom war.Till 1857 only muslims were fighting the freedom war later on hindus and sikhs joined them.World muslims too were fighting against british,Maulana azad,khan abdul ghfar khan,and others took cooperation of global war of khilafat against british.Thats why british while going did the maximum damage to islamic cause by dividing India into two.Otherwise muslims would have been rightful Rulers of India since they started war Ulema sacrificed thir lives in thousands and throughout 125 years they continued the fight.

What is wrong if HINDUS did not wanted to be in KHILAFAT

The MARATHAS effectively ruled India- from Attock to Allahabad and from Jammu to Madurai from 1725. The MUSLIMS of India invited Ahammad Shah Abdali, the Afghan ruler and joined hands with the Afghans to defeat the MARATHAS at third Battle of PANIPAT 1761, weakening the MARATHAS making it easy for the British to defeat them. More importantly, MIR JAFFER handed over BENGAL to the British in Battle of PLASSY 1757.

In 1857, MUSLIMS JIHADIS wanted to re-impose ISLAMIC RULE through ZAFAR and what is wrong if HINDUS did NOT wanted to trade “one slavery” under British, for another “worst kind of slavery” under Muslims. HINDUS were smarter and more intelligent- they got the BRITISH to finish off the MUSLIMS- millions of MUSLIMS were killed in North India in the aftermath of 1857, and then pushed what is left into Pakistan to create a HINDU MAJORITY country - India

Does the Muslims know how to rule???

The mess in 99% Muslim population AFPAK, and many more ISLAMIC COUNTRIES are due to the exceedingly good governing skills of MUSLIMS!! What the MUSLIM friends must realise is that when the era of "brute force" ended ISLAM also declined. The technological advancement has made "physical strength" irrelevant and the people who are more intelligent have left the "less intelligent like the MUSLIMS" behind.

Brahmins have neither

Brahmins have neither physical strength nor intelligence therefore they opted for a Sikh and imported an Italian for intelligence.

Shame on you cowards for

Shame on you cowards for making fun of our freedom fighters( who gave their blood for rascals like you) from britishers who treated you like slaves.If there was no khilafat movement, britishers would have survived Hitlers onslaught and come back to India,and still you would have been slaves to brtishers.Marathas,Peshwas,jats,sikhs etc were never in control of any significant part of india,infact they were small time robbers who used to attack food supply chain of Mughal army occasionaly.
All world muslims are brothers to each other no need to call anyone,every muslim feels pain when other is in trouble thats why we find so many non nationalities muslims fighting along with local muslims against oppression of tyrants.No wonder Islam attracts the youths and its evergrowing.
Hindus dont know how to rule!Thats why see india your so called hindu nation is ruled by a Sikh and remote controlled by an Itallian!!

Jaswant Singh is right

See the mentality of Hindu fanatics !! Now just think who was behind the partition. Jaswant Singh is right.

Dancing to the tune of Fascists and Imperialists

As far as an individual is concerned, Jihad is a process involved a great deal of hard work or struggle to defend onself against the works of Satan.It does not require any weapons to reform oneself.Mr Vijay, I dot not wonder if you misunderstand Jihad in a context where an organized propaganda from Fascists,Racists and Imprerialists goes on at international level against Islam and its main instrument of reformation ie Jihad.Such a learned person, Mr.Chadambaram, should have shown prudence to learn about the position of Jihad in Islam before he commented on it, instead he just danced to the tune of Fascists and Imperialists.Armed struggle becomes Jihad only when existence of Muslims or their nation is in danger.

Seek Clarification from PC

First seek the clarification with PC under which context the PC made this statement, moreover, this might a media game too, due to wrong interpretation of his statement

Instead Of Bashing Chidambaram Bash So Called Jihadis

Jihad , Jihadis is word which was not wellknown to other religion believers. It became well known only thr some terror groups. Yes Islam believer might feel hurt but truth is that these terror groups claim themselves to be true jihadis and so instead of writting to chidambaram , letter , online petition should be filed against laskhar , jaish , al queda , laskhar-ae-jhanvi and all others who are mis using this word...

Vijay,we support everyone to

Vijay,we support everyone to have a weapon/arms for self defense instead of depending on corrupt and biased,home ministry,police force and military who target muslim minorities at the behest of fascist political organisations.Let everyone have arms/weapons for self defense like in USA & Afghanistan.All these cowards like modis.thackreys.togadias and now your Home minister will not come out of his Home after delivering hate speeches.

Jihad, if it involves arms/weapons cannot be legal

How can a non-state group/community (muslim/islam) talk of things like war etc of their own? That itslef should be a concern for Mr. Chidambaram. Jihad, in so far as it involves arms/weapons etc cannot be legal.

Rejoinder to Shri Vijay;s comments

I admit and for that matter all peace-loving Indian citizens agree with you that no group or community should be permitted to indulge in violence. Violent acts begin with violent statements. Hence, the first thing which must be curbed is the tendency to solve problems not through lawful ways and means but thro' violent activities. When a Muslim talks about JIHADH, non-Muslims erroneously imagine that he or she is talking about killing non-Muslims. Nothing can be more absurd and farther from truth than that. Islam does not permit individual Muslims to wage a JIHADH. It is only the ruler of an Islamic State who must formally issue a Decree calling upon its subjects to participate in it.
Itis a pity that those who know the least about JIHADH talk a lot about it. Take for example, our Hon'ble Union Home Minister. He thinks JIHADH Allah has commanded and the Holy Prophet Muhammad's (peace and blessings of SAllah be on him)has enjoined Muslims to go about killing "unbelievers" and thatis JIHADH.

A wise man looks well before he leaps. The Hon'ble Minister ought to have done his home work well before he uttered that baseless assertion.
