Would Harvard now stop giving courses in Islamic theology?

===========Forwarded Message===========
To,
Faculty & Staff,
Harvard University

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am absolutely appalled and would like to register my protest against your injudicious and illadvised decision to remove Economics Professor Dr. Subramanian Swamy from teaching roster. (http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2011/12/7/faculty-final-meeting/) Dr. Swamy is not some unknown new figure at Harvard rather a respected faculty member, whose so far proud association with the University goes back at least 4 decades. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IteO05kaY-8) I do not find any merit in your argument to classify his article "How to wipe out Islamic terror" as hate speech. Bold and alternative political speech may be, but far from hate speech. (http://janamejayan.wordpress.com/2011/07/29/how-to-wipe-out-islamic-terror-dr-subramaniam-swamy/) He was merely exercising his basic human right of Right to Free Speech guaranteed under our First Amendment, which even protects, as it should, worst of the worse hate speeches. With all due respect, your unwise decision smacks of clear ideological and selection biases, and decision process influenced by emotions and various cognitive traps such as anchoring and confirming evidence.

Expression of Free Speech especially alternative Political & Religious viewpoints are basic human needs and these should not be denied to anyone. Political and Hate Speech are both protected under First Amendment as they are subjective. Because who is to decide what is hate speech and what is not? You, me or other Harvard faculty? Just because I don't agree with what some other person said in his personal capacity, I have no Right to discriminate against him because of his political or religious views. It is very unfortunate that some of the Harvard faculty members have allegedly let their personal ideology and religious biases affect their professional decision making process. It a matter of shame and grave concern that Harvard has reprimanded Dr. Swamy for his protected political speech, which he gave in a different country on a topic which is completely unrelated to what he teaches at Harvard in the US.

Dr. Swamy is an Economics professor and Harvard administration has a right to judge his subject knowledge merits and teaching history only. Certainly not on the basis of what religious or political ideology he ascribes to or on grounds of his protected political speech. It is an alleged case of discrimination based on political ideology and civil liberties violated. This is a very bad precedence unwittingly set by Harvard which may have a chilling effect on the campus as student and faculty will now be scared to freely share and speak alternative viewpoints. Best way to deal with hate speech is either debate it or ignore it. Harvard allegedly did neither in case of Dr. Swamy. If the faculty found his views distasteful, why didn't they challenge him for an open debate to publicly present and defend his views rather than unilaterally punishing him for speaking his mind in personal capacity? This may set an unhealthy precedence as per which every Harvard faculty member may now be held accountable and may face excoriation, at the whims of Harvard's few biased faculty members, for anything he or she may say anywhere in world, without being given any fair chance to defend himself or herself. Should all those anti-Swamy faculty members who spearheaded this allegedly prejudicial campaign against Dr. Swamy's free speech be now held accountable in India for what these people say, write or print in the US? Reprehensible. Correct, Dean Pfister?

What is even more ridiculous is that those who decided and coerced other faculty members to drop Dr. Swamy's courses are not even related to his subject of expertise. Could Harvard please explain to us how and why is a History Professor Sugata Bose, known for his far-Left political ideology, deciding if Dr. Swamy should continue to teach Economics? That too when Dr. Swamy wasn't even present there to defend himself. What Economics subject credentials does Prof Bose have to decide Dr. Swamy's courses fate? How Dr. Swamy's personal viewpoints on how to deal with terrorism in India can be used as a yardstick to censor him in the US and throw out his economics courses? How can Dr. Swamy's protected political speech on dealing with terrorism in India influence his capabilities to teach Economics in US? There is no bridge between these two acts then how can he be reprimanded for it? This is essentially Heckler's Veto to curb Dr. Swamy's civil liberties. Will Harvard now reprimand anyone whose political and religious views doesn't align with few of its faculty's political leaning?

It is sad to see that Philosophy Department Chair Sean Kelly got "persuaded" to be part of those who like to censor others protected political speech.

Let us consider the faculty's justification to censor Dr. Swamy. Is the faculty claiming that there is no Islamic terror in the world? As per terrorism research experts, there have been over 18000 Islamic terrorist attacks (small to big events classified by number of people murdered) in the world since 9/11. Just because main stream media doesn't cover all them doesn't mean these attacks aren't happening. I am sure all you learned people have heard of Schrödinger's cat experiment. India has been suffering at the hands of Muslim extremists for over 25 years. Third anniversary of brutal 26/11 terrorist attacks in Mumbai just passed a few days ago. Do you expect Dr. Swamy and other Indians to simply ignore these facts because Harvard faculty is just too uncomfortable and sensitive to face the truth? Political correctness cannot be an excuse for poltroonery and censorship.

Until a few decades ago, it was mostly Pakistan sponsored terrorists attacking India. Since past decade, various domestic terrorist groups like Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), Popular Front of India (PFI), Indian Mujahideen, etc. have also started committing terrorist attacks in India. Now it is clear that US citizens are involved in worldwide terrorist activities also. As exposed by PBS Frontline-ProPublica (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/david-headley/), American-born Dawood Gilani aka David Coleman Headley was one of the main co-conspirators of 26/11 Mumbai terrorist attacks. He was trained and indoctrinated in Islamic theology by Pakistani intelligence agency ISI. Then there is Faisal Shazad (Times Square bomber), Major Nidal Hassan (Fort Hood), Anwar Al-Awaki, Underwear bomber, et.al. Unfortunately they are all self-proclaimed Islamic terrorists. You cannot just brush these facts under the carpet.

It is not Dr. Swamy who is calling Muslim terrorists as Islamic terrorists, rather it is these terrorists themselves who are proudly proclaiming themselves to be Mujahideen i.e. Islamic warriors fighting for Allah. Then why is Harvard allegedly punishing Dr. Swamy for speaking against these self-proclaimed Islamic warriors? Why is Harvard allegedly shooting the messenger? There is no line, let me say it again, there is no line in that article where Dr. Swamy has "demonized an entire religious community" as terrorists. I am sorry to say but Professor Diana Eck is wrong and her inference is grossly exaggerated. There is no way all of the decision making faculty members could have construed Dr. Swamy's argument as a call for destruction of religious places. This shows a clear case of selection bias and anchoring. Dr. Swamy said the following (an excerpt from the article),

In a brilliant research paper published by Robert Trager and Dessislava Zagorcheva this year (‘Deterring Terrorism’ International Security, vol 30, No 3, Winter 2005/06, pp 87-123) has provided the general principles to structure such a strategy.

Goal-strategy

Applying these principles, I advocate the following strategy to negate the political goals of Islamic terrorism in India, provided the Muslim community fail to condemn these goals and call them un-Islamic:

Goal 2: Blast our temples and kill Hindu devotees.

Strategy: Remove the masjid in Kashi Vishwanath temple complex, and 300 others in other sites as a tit-for-tat.

Dr. Swamy has not proposed that Hindus or Government of India should proactively remove Mosques (aka masjid) rather as a consequence of an unfortunate event (tit-for-tat). As per his proposal, if Islamic terrorists continue to blast Hindu temples and devotees then instead of cowing down, remove their controversial Mosques from encroached land. For those who may not know, Kashi aka Varanasi is the holiest site in the world for Hindus just like Kabba is for Muslims and Wailing wall is for Jews. About 600 years ago a Muslim bandit ruler ordered destruction of Holy Hindu temple of Kashi Vishwanathji and built a Mosque on top of it, compare it to Dome of Rock controversy. Not only at Kashi but Muslim Mughal bandit rulers did the same to prime Hindu temples at other holy sites such as Ayodhya, Mathura, Somnath, etc. Can you see a pattern? Prof Diana Eck is a professor of comparative religious studies, she ought to know better. Rather than thinking rationally, some faculty decision makers seem to have taken an extreme position influenced by an emotional reaction to a rational viewpoint (based on well thought out research).

For the sake of argument let us agree for a moment with the standards that Harvard faculty has applied to misconstrue Dr. Swamy's free speech as hate speech. Then the same standards should be applied to the following,

Quran (2:190-193) - "Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you. And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution [of Muslims] is worse than slaughter [of non-believers]... but if they desist, then lo! Allah is forgiving and merciful. And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah."

Bukhari (2:28) - Women comprise the majority of Hell's occupants.

Quran (9:73) - O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is the destination

Quran (4:56) - Those who disbelieve Our revelations, We shall expose them to the Fire. As often as their skins are consumed We shall exchange them for fresh skins that they may taste the torment Lo! Allah is ever Mighty, Wise

Quran (56:92-94) - But if he is of the rejecters, the erring, then the welcome will be boiling water and roasting at hell-fire

Quran (5:60) - Say: "Shall I point out to you something much worse than this, (as judged) by the treatment it received from Allah? those who incurred the curse of Allah and His wrath, those of whom some He transformed into apes and swine, those who worshipped evil;- these are (many times) worse in rank, and far more astray from the even path!"

Bukhari (59:727) - Allah's Apostle [said]... "Allah's curse be on the Jews and the Christians"

Verse 59:727 was spoken on Mohamed's death bed, and was one of the last things that he ever said. Isn't Mohamed preaching annihilation of non-Muslims? Hasn't Mohamed crossed the line by demonizing an entire non-Muslim religious community and calling for violence against their sacred places? So would the esteemed faculty at Harvard now call for censorship of Quran, Hadith, Sira and other Islamic texts and publicly reprimand Mohamed for hate speech? Would Harvard now stop giving courses in Islamic theology? Would Harvard now cancel classes by Professors who euoligize Mohamed and teach such hate speech? Would Harvard now throw out students who emulate Mohamed? If no then isn't it hypocrisy on part of the same decision making faculty and Harvard administration? Standards set and enforced by the faculty in Dr. Swamy's case should be unambiguously applied in this case also.

Since Harvard is willing to overlook Dr. Swamy's professional accumen and rather use his personal views as a yardstick to decide if he should continue, let us analyze this fallacy also. Dr. Swamy has already publicly clarrified in this interview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3lv71xEBs0 that he doesn't have any problem with Muslims. He is one of the most pluralist public figure I have ever known of. He is a Hindu who is married to a Parsi (Zorashtrian) and one of his daughter is married to a Muslim. Cannot get more Secular than that.

Now lest I am accused of being some fringe Right winger, let me prove my Centrist credentials by giving another rational argument that will sound tune to the Leftist gallery. For those who may not know, Dr. Swamy, as a lawyer, has been spearheading a massive anti-graft lawsuit against some of the most corrupt and powerful politicians and corporates in the world who have allegedly committed at least $50 Billion scam during the distribution 2G spectrum in India. Think of it as the Occupy Wall Street but this one actually works, and has a clear direction and goals. The anti-corruption movement has a leader in Dr. Swamy, who has already fell many politicians, bureaucrats and corporate heads, and there are some big fishes yet to be brought to book. One of the alleged corrupt big fish is ironically a Harvard alumni. Now since Harvard disassociated itself from Dr. Swamy's political viewpoints on terrorism, hence, by applying its faculty's logic as a corollary we can inference that Harvard would not agree with Dr. Swamy's political position on bringing corrupt individuals including the alleged person who is also a Harvard alumni to justice. Therefore, it may be concluded that Harvard supports corruption in Politics and Business. Sounds weird right? Doesn't make sense as this sounds like a far-fetched conclusion. Harvard would never support corruption. So now you can see how some of your biased faculty's emotional argument, that there is a connection between a political speech on the menace of theologically sanctioned terror and teaching economics, sounds-like to a rational mind.

In the end I would like to thank you for reading my protest letter and I hope some sanity will prevail in Harvard administration. I hope that you will promptly apologize to Dr. Subramanian Swamy, reinstate his popular courses without prejudice, and invite him back with all due courtesy. Please null and void this reprehensible precedence set by Harvard, before it is too late. My respects where due as I mean no malice to anyone. Just speaking against the injustice done.

Best Regards,
Seema

Analysis of Delhi High Court bomb blast emails

Analysis of Delhi High Court bomb blast emails sent on September 7, 2011

By Toral Varia, Rediff.com

Two mails sent on two consecutive days by two different senders, both claiming responsibility for the blast outside Delhi high court that has claimed 12 lives so far, besides injuring more than 75 others. Toral Varia makes a comparative analysis of these mails and its effect on the investigations.

The first email from harkatuljihadi2011@gmail.com arrived at 1.14 pm on Wednesday in the inboxes on two media houses -- NDTV and Headlines Today -- just hours after the blast.

The mail allegedly sent out by Harkat-ul-Jihadi Islami which claimed responsibility of the terror attack outside the Delhi High Court stated, "We owe responsibility of today's blast at high court Delhi... our demand is that Afzal Guru's death sentence should be repealed immediately else we target major high courts & the Supreme Court of India…"

Just when the National Investigations Agency sleuths were tracking the first email ID traced to a cyber café in Jammu and Kashmir, a second email is sent to Headlines Today on Thursday.

This time email is sent at 12.37 pm from one 'chotoo minani ayushman' using email id chotoominani5@gmail.com. This mail tries to discredit the first email. It reads, "kal delhi me hue blast me huji ka haath ho hi nahi sakta hai. kyunkiuse hamne anjam diya. hamne pehle se yeh plan banaya tha ki wednesdayke din hi blast karna hai kyunki us din wahan sabse jyada crowd hotihai. ise hamne yani INDIAN MUZAHIDDIN NE ANJAM DIYA HAI. huji ka tohisme dur-dur tak koi wasta nahi hai. hamara agla taret jald hi ranglayega jo ek shopping complex ke bahar hoga. use koi nahi rok sakta.aur yeh agle tuesday ko hoga. rok sako toh rok lo.chotoo (chotu) member INDIAN MUZAHIDDIN"

After closer look at both the emails, one wonders if the investigators are being sent on a wild goose chase. Is this an attempt to enable the perpetrators to escape while the officers are busy concentrating on tracing the sender of the email?

Or are these emails mere pranks? Are the officials losing out on crucial time and leads in the investigation while concentrating on the emails?

"We are taking each email seriously. We are already working on tracking the email after it has been forwarded to us along with the headers," says Prakash Mishra, special director general of the National Investigations Agency.

Since the latest email has been sent by a 'chotoo minani ayushman' who claims to be a member of 'INDIAN MUZAHIDDIN,' a natural comparison with all the previous Indian Mujahideen mails is warranted.

It must be noted that Indian Mujahideen has sent as many as five emails claiming responsibilities for various attacks. All the emails were drafted with precision using PDF files, various fonts and colours, Urdu script, a proper signature, a well researched list of recipients, and sent minutes after a terror attack was executed. All the mails were signed by 'Al – ARBI.'

Content for the Indian Mujahideen mails was usually written in impeccable English, interspersed with the verses from the holy Koran, a picture of the Gujarat carnage, references to 'atrocities on Muslims' amongst other inflammatory literature.

However, one look at both the emails, that have been sent claiming and counter claiming responsibilities for Wednesday's blast, and the first impression is that the mails have perhaps been sent by an amateur.

A senior Mumbai crime branch official associated with the investigations into the previous blasts observes that, "This time around both the mails appear to be an afterthought almost bordering on pranks"

HuJI, which is not very active in India, is not really known to be sending emails to claim responsibility of an attack. And on the other hand, Indian Mujahideen has never written a mail that appears shabby in language and spelling.

Unlike the previous elaborate mails sent out by the terror outfit Indian Mujahideen, both the emails are short with two lines and four lines each.

The second mail especially has strikingly spelled "Indian Mujahideen' as 'INDIAN MUZAHIDDIN'. The sender has written a mail in roman Hindi which has never been Indian Mujahideen's style.

The content really appears to be plagiarised from national television news channels reporting on why the gates of Delhi high court are crowded on any given working Wednesday.

Indian Mujahideen is also never known to leave individual names as a sign off like 'chotoo' (Chotu) member of INDIAN MUZAHIDDIN.'

The sender's list as compared to that of the Indian Mujahideen is also very basic. While the first email was sent to just two media houses, the second was sent to only one. Indian Mujahideen mails have always been sent to a multiple print, television and international media houses.

The language in both the recent emails appears to be very layman like. The mails also differ in formatting, and fonts. The first email has no signature and makes a demand not to hang Parliament attack accused Afzal Guru.

Again on this front, Indian Mujahideen is known to seek revenge and never make any particular demands, while issuing threats to target other key locations.

Timing of the mails also gives credence to police's theory that the mails have been sent as an afterthought. Besides the mails appear to have been sent through stationary computers, which is totally different from hacking unsecured wifi networks and sending mails on the move.

Perhaps the senders are trying to ape the modus operandi adopted by the Indian Mujahideen. Investigators are also working on a conjecture that this is "perhaps because a number of blast cases executed by the IM have gone undetected so far," says an official from the NIA.

This also points to a possibility that the perhaps this is a separate group and will have to be investigated differently.

And while, home ministry and NIA officials confirm that they are taking each lead, including the terror mails, seriously, privately NIA officials believe that the mails may well turn out to be pranks. However, as of now, verification of facts in underway, even as speculations are rife.

Chronology of major Terrorist attacks in Bharat India

Chronology (timeline) of major Terrorist attacks in Bharat (Hindustan/India) or on Bharatiya (Hindustani/Indian) Citizens

1. September 7, 2011 1017 hrs - Terrorist attack (bomb blast) outside Gate No. 5, Delhi High Court, Indraprasth (misnomer: New Delhi/Nayi Dilli) - Harkat-ul-Jehadi (HuJI) & Indian Mujahideen

   At least nine people have been killed in an explosion outside the Delhi High Court on Wednesday morning. The explosion took place outside Gate No. 5 of the Delhi High Court at 10:17 AM injuring 45 others. Union Home Secretary RK Singh confirmed that nine people have died in the explosion. UK Bansal, Secretary (Internal Security) in the Ministry of Home Affairs, said that the explosive device was kept in a briefcase. He said that the blast was well planned and of high intensity. The injured have been rushed to All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital and Safdarjung Hospital with some of them reportedly in a critical condition. National Security Guard (NSG) and National Investigation Agency (NIA) teams have also reached the blast site. NSG Director General Rajen Medhekar said that ammonium nitrate has been used in the blast. "Whatever we could gather from the blast investigations is that it is an IED (improvised explosive device) with ammonium nitrate. We are working with the Delhi Police to get details," said Medhekar. The Delhi Police said that Gate No. 5 is one of the busiest areas of the Delhi High Court and have cordoned off the area. Gate no. 5 of the Delhi High Court is where the passes are made for the litigants and the explosion happened outside the reception. Police officials said that about 100 to 200 people were waiting in queue to get passes for entry into the court complex. Forensic experts have reached the site and are examining forensic evidence to find out the nature of the blast. Fire tenders and ambulances have also reached the blast site. Court business is usually heavy on Wednesday which is listed as a Public Interest Litigation(PIL) day when the visitors come to the court in large numbers. It is in the second time in four months that a blast occurred outside the Delhi High Court complex. An explosion on May 25 triggered panic prompting the authorities to sound a high alert in the capital and tighten security at public places. But no one was injured in the may 25 blast. In that blast too ammonium nitrate was used and the explosive device was wrapped in a polythene bag and kept close to the car parked near Gate No. 7. The blast took place at 1:30 PM. Along with ammonium nitrate, a battery-like object, wires and some nails were found at the site by forensic experts. This is the the worst terror attack in the capital since the triple blasts on September 13, 2008 in which 25 people were killed. On September 13, 2008 serials blasts had rocked Karol Bagh, Connaught Place and Greater Kailash in the capital in which over 150 people were injured.

7. February 15, 2010 2030 hrs - Mao-Communist Terrorist attack (gun attack) by at Silda in West Midnapore, West Bengal

   20 Army troops of Eastern Frontiers Rifles murdered by 100 Mao-Communist terrorists. "At least 20 jawans of Eastern Frontiers Rifles (EFR) have been killed in the attack at the Silda camp and the condition of two is stated to be very critical," district magistrate N S Nigam told PTI from Midnapore. The Maoists launched another attack on a CRPF camp at Dharampur in the district tonight. A group of 40 armed Maoists attacked the camp around 8.30 pm in Lalgarh engaging the jawans in an exchange of fire. Nigam said at least 100 Maoists armed with sophisticated weapons came on motorcycles and four-wheelers, exploded landmines near the Silda camp before barging inside with a volley of fire around 5.30 pm. There were 51 EFR jawans and officers in the camp when the attack took place, sources said. The attack took most of the jawans by surprise as they were either "whiling away their time in the camp or busy in the kitchen cooking", a senior police officer said. Meanwhile, Maoist leader Kishenji claimed responsibility for the attack. "We have attacked the camp and this is our answer to Chidambaram's 'Operation Green Hunt' and unless the Centre stops this inhuman military operation we are going to answer this way only," Kishenji told PTI from an undisclosed location.

      At least five persons were killed and 28 others, including a foreigner, injured when a powerful bomb exploded in the complex of International Society For Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) on Wednesday evening when the shrine was teeming with Janmasthami devotees. The toll might go up because some of those who suffered injuries were in critical condition, sources in the Regional Institute of Medical Science and Hospital said. The five victims included a 10-year-old boy and a 70-year-old woman, the sources said. Several important persons, including chief priest of the ISKCON's Damodar Das, were among those who were hit by splinters of the bomb which was reportedly hurled at the Tulihal airport area in Imphal West district of Manipur by some unidentified persons. Reports said that today being the birthday of Lord Krishna, there was a huge gathering of people at the ISKCON complex, about five km south of Imphal, and the bomb exploded among the crowd at around 7 pm. No individual or organisation has claimed responsibility for the explosions, official sources said.

    • Varanasi blasts : New wave of terror

      That the Varanasi blasts was not a stray incident, was confirmed by the detection of two kilograms of explosive ammonia nitrate from the Byculla Railway Station in Central Mumbai on Saturday, March 11. Apart from the explosive filled in a plastic water bottle, the police recovered a pocket-size transformer that could have provided the power if a detonator was to be attached to the device. Police Commissioner A.N.Ray said a high alert has been sounded in the city and security tightened at all places of worship, railway stations and vital installations. The seizure came a day before the 13th anniversary of the serial bomb blasts on March 12, 1993 which killed 256 persons and injured 713, besides causing damage to property worth Rs. 27 crore. Early this year, three terrorists from Jammu and Kashmir, allegedly having links with Laskhar-e-Taiba leader Sayyad Salahuddin, were arrested from the busy Nagpada area of central Mumbai, along with highly sophisticated wireless detonators. In neighbouring Goa, the police arrested a militant on charges of plotting an attack. Director General of Police Niraj Kumar said in Panaji on March 11 that the police arrested Tariq Anwar at Margao railway station. He was found to be carrying explosives and fire arms. Tariq is reported to have confessed during interrogation that Pakistan-based Tehrique-ul-Mujahiddin, the terrorist outfit to which he belongs, was targeting busy tourist places in the state. The police recovered two kilograms of RDX, two Russian hand grenades, a detonator, three mobile phones and three cameras from Tariq. The DGP said that Tariq had undergone two and a half years of training in Pakistan and had also traveled to Bangladesh and Nepal. Police teams have fanned out across the state to check his local links and more arrests are likely.

    • Varanasi blasts : New wave of terror

      Two bomb blasts ripped thorough the temple town of Varanasi in Eastern Uttar Pradesh on Tuesday, March 7, heralding a new wave of terrorist attacks in the country. There are indications that the Varanasi explosions were mounted by Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba or Jaish-e-Mohammed groups which have been responsible for many such incidents in the past. A little known outfit, Lashkar-e-Kahar, believed to be a front for the Lashkar-e-Taiba or Jaish-e-Mohammed, claimed responsibility for the blasts in which more than 20 people died. The Varanasi Cantt Railway Station and Sankat Mochan Temple were the main targets of the attack. The worst hit was the railway station where 14 persons were killed and 30 injured in a powerful explosion outside the waiting room on Platform No. 1 where a Delhi-bound train was at the time stationary. Just before this, a bomb want off at the Sankat Mochan Temple which was full of devotees. At least six persons were killed and 25 injured in the explosion. The security forces also recovered explosive devices at other places in the city, which did not explode and were defused later. Home Ministry officials said that they believed that the blasts were part of a planned conspiracy. They said the terrorists chose Tuesday for the blasts as there is a heavy rush of devotees at the Sankat Mochan Temple on that day. Within hours of the Varanasi blasts, a special task force team of the Uttar Pradesh police, helped by a team of the Jammu and Kashmir police, gunned down a terrorist in Lucknow on Wednesday morning (March 8). The police later claimed that the killed terrorist may have been involved in the terror attacks in Varanasi. The STF team said that the terrorist, Salar Aka Illullah Aka Doctor Aka Saleem, was an expert in planting explosives and was the area commander of the Lashkar-e-Taiba in Uttar Pradesh. The STF claimed that he was also involved in the attack on Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, in which a scientist was killed. A Pakistan-made “Star” pistol, a telephone diary containing slips issued by PCO booths for overseas calls made by him, detonators, fuse and 2.5 kg. of RDX were recovered from his possession. On Wednesday itself, two terrorists owing allegiance to Lashkar-e-Taiba, were gunned down in an encounter with the Delhi Police in North West Delhi. The police say that the persons gunned down wanted to carry out a terror attack in the national capital. The deceased have been identified as Lashkar’s Bangladesh chief Ghulam Hasan alias Kajol. Forty pockets of plastic (PETN) explosives weighing four kilograms, one AK 56 with two magazines and 51 rounds , four hand grenades, two Luger-make imported pistols with two magazines and fake currency were recovered from the slain militants. “Intercepts of phone conversations between Abu Ali Kama and Tariq Ahmed Dar a few days after the Delhi serial blasts revealed that LeT was planning more attacks in the city and busy markets are their specific targets,” a senior police official said. The terrorists were carrying plastic explosives which, experts say, could cause an explosion stronger than the one seen during the serial blasts.

48. August 25, 2003 - Mumbai (misnomer: Bombay), Maharashtra - Islamic Terrorist attack (Simultaneous multiple Car Bomb blasts)
    • Judgement day Monday in August 2003 Mumbai twin blasts case by IANS, Daily Pioneer

      Six years after the twin blasts at Gateway of India and Zaveri Bazaar, which left 53 people dead, a Mumbai Special Court is expected to deliver its judgement on the "rarest of rare" case here Monday. A terror module of the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) outfit was involved in planting the powerful bombs in two cabs and triggering them by timers on Aug 25, 2003. It is the most awaited judgement in a terrorist case after the Special TADA Court completed the March 2, 1993, serial blasts trial in 2007 which led to the conviction of 100 people, including Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, now a Samajwadi Party leader. The terror attacks were carried out to "avenge" the deaths of Muslims during the 2002 Gujarat riots that broke out in the wake of the Godhra train burning of Feb 27 that year. After painstaking investigations, the Mumbai Police nabbed the prime accused - Mohammed Hanif Sayed (35 then), his wife Fahimida (30 then), Ashrat Shafique Ansari (26 then), Zahid Yusuf Patni, Rizwan Laddoowala and A. Shaikh Batterywala. One accused and the blasts mastermind - identified only as Nazir, was subsequently shot dead in a police encounter in Matunga suburb in September 2003, said advocate for the accused S. Kunjuraman. A total of four cases was filed against all the accused in the case in which a total of 101 witnesses were examined in the Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) Special Court, according to Kunjuraman. They are: the twin blasts at Gateway of India and Zaveri Bazaar which killed 53 and injured over 100; and a blast outside Ghatkopar railway station July 28, 2003, which left two dead and 31 injured. The fourth case pertains to planting a bomb in a public BEST bus Dec 2, 2003, at the Special Electronics Export Promotion Zone (SEEPZ), a major commercial hub in Andheri east, which failed to explode. "If found guilty by the Special POTA Judge M.R. Puranik, then the accused could attract the maximum death penalty," Kunjuraman said. Zahid Yusuf Patni offered to turn approver in the case in June 2004 and made a confession of his role in the terror attacks. He revealed how he lived and worked in Dubai where he met Hanif, who had gone there to work as an electrician. There they met some other persons who provoked them "to take revenge for the Gujarat riots of 2002". After hatching the blasts conspiracy in Dubai, they prepared themselves for the assignment with all the required resources and finally carried out the terror strikes in Mumbai. Patni also revealed that he had been "elected" as chief of the LeT module in Mumbai called 'Gujarat Defence-Revenge Force' and he directed all the blasts in the city. Meanwhile, midway during the trial, a POTA Review Committee recommended that Laddoowala and Batterywala be discharged from the case for lack of evidence, but the POTA Special Court rejected it. The matter was challenged before the Supreme Court which finally ordered their discharge in November 2008, proving a setback to the prosecution case, spearheaded by Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam. Incidentally, Nikam conducted the March 12, 1993, Mumbai serial blasts case and is also handling the Nov 26, 2008, Mumbai terror attacks case. The duo was accused of connecting the timer with the detonator and preparing the other electrical circuits used in the bombs. During the six-year long trial, 101 witnesses, including a taxi-driver who identified the accused planting the bomb in one of the taxis, were examined. Three Special POTA Judges conducted the trial - A.P. Bhangale, S.S. Joshi and currently, Special Judge Puranik.

Two terrorists involved in the terror attack were also killed in the night-long operation by the National Security Guard (NSG) commandoes who were flown in from Delhi. Shaukat-Ullah Ghouri, believed to be the financier of the operation, was arrested from the Hyderabad airport on Saturday night soon after his arrival from Saudi Arabia where he had fled after the Akshardham attack in 2002. A team of the Gujarat Police has rushed to Hyderabad for bringing Ghouri back to Ahmedabad where arrest warrants are pending against him and his brother Farhat-Ullah since 2002. Three culprits of the Akshardham attack were sentenced to death by a POTA Court in July 2006 while one was sentenced to life imprisonment. Two others were given prison terms of ten years and five years respectively for their involvement in the terror attack. Shaukat-Ullah and his brother Farhat-Ullah were trained by the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), and were engaged in raising funds for terror attacks. They fled to Saudi Arabia after their names cropped up during the investigations into the Akshardham attack.

      A Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative, Ghauri, who is a close associate of the mastermind behind the attack, Abu Hamza, had attended the pre-Akshardham attack conspiracy meetings at Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, and later at Hyderabad in 2002. Ghauri is also accused of raising funds for the attack, DCB sources said. Ghauri and his brother, Farhatullah, who is also accused of supporting and motivating the terrorists who carried out the attacks, were in Hyderabad at the time of the attack. They later fled to Saudi Arabia after their names figured in the list of suspects. Thirty-four people, including two National Security Guards (NSG) commandos and two state police commandos were killed and more than 80 others injured when two Pakistan-based terrorists stormed the temple in Gandhinagar on September 24, 2003, and opened indiscriminate fire with their automatic weapons and lobbed grenades. A designated POTA court in Gujarat convicted three of the six accused, arrested in the case, to death, in July 2006. Another accused was sentenced to a life term in prison, while two others were awarded punishment of 10 and five years each.

      A non-bailable warrant was pending against him under POTA in a Gandhinagar Court in Gujarat,’’ the sources said. They said Shaukatullah Ghori, popular in Riyadh as Hafiz Saheb, was working as the Imam of a mosque in Riyadh. ‘‘He is not involved in any case in Hyderabad or any part of the State. His only involvement is in Akshardham Temple attack,’’ the sources said. It is learnt that after going through the records, the Andhra Pradesh police is likely to send him to Gujarat shortly. While two Pakistani terrorists were killed by the National Security Guards (NSG) in operation Vajra Shakti at the Akshardham Temple, three were sentenced to death and 10 to life imprisonment in the case. Twelve more accused are absconding.

    • Death for three Muslim Terrorists in Lajpat Nagar blast case

      Describing the 14-year-old Lajpat Nagar blast case as “rarest of rare”, a city court on Thursday awarded death penalty to three of the six convicts. The explosion had claimed 13 lives in the Capital.
      “Aggravating circumstances have outweighed the mitigating circumstances. It is one of the rarest of rare cases, where the extreme penalty of death is required to be given to the convicts. I direct that these three convicts be hanged by neck till death,” said District and Sessions Judge SP Garg. Mohammed Naushad, Mirza Nissar Hussain and Mohammed Ali Bhatt were awarded the death penalty, which is subject to confirmation from the High Court.
      The court awarded different jail terms to the other three convicts, including life imprisonment to one, for their roles in the gory incident. Sending the three convicts to gallows, the court said, “On scanning the aggravating circumstances whereby 13 innocent persons lost their lives, it is certain that the convicts do not deserve to be dealt with leniently.
      There cannot be two opinions that looking at the prime conspectus of what was perpetrated at the Lajpat Nagar Market, it was the most dastardly act. The case comes in the category of rarest of rare cases. The convicts indulged in killing innocent persons without any provocation.”
      While awarding life imprisonment to Javed Ahmed Khan, the court said, “Though Javed’s case also comes in the category of rarest of rare cases, on taking into consideration the mitigating circumstances, Javed does not deserve the extreme penalty. He was residing in Nepal and not even known to Bilal Ahmed Beg. Earlier, he was not aware of the conspiracy and when he found arms and ammunitions lying in the room, he made inquiries…and came to know of the conspiracy to cause (the) bomb blast in Delhi.”
      The court also said that on instructions of Mirza Nissar Hussain and Bilal, Javed delivered ammunition at the Delhi residence of witness Wazid Kasai. “At the time of incident, Javed was not present in Delhi. After considering his role and his confessional statement exposing himself and the co-accused, case of Javed stands on a different footing,” it added.
      The court imposed a fine of Rs 42,000 on Mohammed Naushad. Mohammed Ali Bhatt, Mirza Nissar Hussain and Javed Ahmad Khan have been fined Rs 37,000 each under various penal provisions, dealing with murder, conspiracy and attempt to murder.
      Convict Farooq Ahmed Khan and lone woman convict Farida Dar were held guilty under milder penal provisions of the Explosive Substances Act and the Arms Act, and were allowed to walk free. The imprisonment served during the trial was their punishment, the court said. It fined Farooq Ahmed and Farida Dar Rs 10,000 each. “The term already undergone by Farooq Ahmed in this case shall be counted and Farida Dar is ordered to be released for the period already spent in jail with reasonable fine,” the court ordered.
      The court said the offence committed by the convicts was pre-planned and calculated. The apparent motive was to indulge in disruptive activities and to strike terror in the minds of the people. The convicts had used powerful material, including RDX. “These convicts had no feeling of remorse or repentance. The convicts had no apparent justification or motive to take the lives of innocent citizens. The incident, which resulted in heavy casualties, had shaken the entire city and the collective conscience of the society,” said the court. All these convicts were arrested in June/July, 1996.

Two people were killed, and 22 injured, in the strikes. Mujahideen Islam e-Hind, and until-then unknown group, had claimed responsibility for the 1993 strikes. Minutes after Friday’s bombings, an organisation with a near-identical name – Indian Mujahideen – asserted it had carried out the attacks.

How to wipe out Islamic terror

As Secular extremist outrage by Anti-Hindu Liberal farts is increasing over this perfectly acceptable exercise of free speech by Dr. Subramaniam Swamy for writing the following article, I am reproducing the article below for posterity in case if DNA chickens out and deletes it from their website.

How to wipe out Islamic terror

By Subramanian Swamy | Place: Mumbai | Agency: DNA

The terrorist blast in Mumbai on July 13, 2011, requires decisive soul-searching by the Hindus of India. Hindus cannot accept to be killed in this halal fashion, continuously bleeding every day till the nation finally collapses. Terrorism I define here as the illegal use of force to overawe the civilian population to make it do or not do an act against its will and well-being.

Islamic terrorism is India’s number one problem of national security. About this there will be no doubt after 2012. By that year, I expect a Taliban takeover in Pakistan and the Americans to flee Afghanistan. Then, Islam will confront Hinduism to “complete unfinished business”. Already the successor to Osama bin Laden as al-Qaeda leader has declared that India is the priority target for that terrorist organisation and not the USA.

Fanatic Muslims consider Hindu-dominated India “an unfinished chapter of Islamic conquests”. All other countries conquered by Islam 100% converted to Islam within two decades of the Islamic invasion. Undivided India in 1947 was 75% Hindu even after 800 years of brutal Islamic rule. That is jarring for the fanatics.

In one sense, I do not blame the Muslim fanatics for targeting Hindus. I blame Hindus who have taken their individuality permitted in Sanatan Dharma to the extreme. Millions of Hindus can assemble without state patronage for the Kumbh Mela, completely self-organised, but they all leave for home oblivious of the targeting of Hindus in Kashmir, Mau, Melvisharam and Malappuram and do not lift their little finger to help organise Hindus. If half the Hindus voted together, rising above caste and language, a genuine Hindu party would have a two-thirds majority in Parliament and the assemblies.

The first lesson to be learnt from the recent history of Islamic terrorism against India and for tackling terrorism in India is that the Hindu is the target and that Muslims of India are being programmed by a slow reactive process to become radical and thus slide into suicide against Hindus. It is to undermine the Hindu psyche and create the fear of civil war that terror attacks are organised.

Hindus must collectively respond as Hindus against the terrorist and not feel individually isolated or, worse, be complacent because he or she is not personally affected. If one Hindu dies merely because he or she was a Hindu, then a bit of every Hindu also dies. This is an essential mental attitude, a necessary part of a virat (committed) Hindu.

We need a collective mindset as Hindus to stand against the Islamic terrorist. The Muslims of India can join us if they genuinely feel for the Hindu. That they do I will not believe unless they acknowledge with pride that though they may be Muslims, their ancestors were Hindus. If any Muslim acknowledges his or her Hindu legacy, then we Hindus can accept him or her as a part of the Brihad Hindu Samaj (greater Hindu society) which is Hindustan. India that is Bharat that is Hindustan is a nation of Hindus and others whose ancestors were Hindus. Others, who refuse to acknowledge this, or those foreigners who become Indian citizens by registration, can remain in India but should not have voting rights (which means they cannot be elected representatives).

Any policy to combat terrorism must begin with requiring each and every Hindu becoming a virat Hindu. For this, one must have a Hindu mindset that recognises that there is vyaktigat charitra (personal character) and rashtriya charitra (national character). For example, Manmohan Singh has high personal character, but by being a rubber stamp of a semi-literate Sonia Gandhi and waffling on all national issues, he has proved that he has no rashtriya charitra.

The second lesson for combating terrorism is that we must never capitulate or concede any demand, as we did in 1989 (freeing five terrorists in exchange for Mufti Mohammed Sayeed’s daughter Rubaiya) and in 1999, freeing three terrorists after the hijack of Indian Airlines flight IC-814.

The third lesson is that whatever and however small the terrorist incident, the nation must retaliate massively. For example, when the Ayodhya temple was sought to be attacked, we should have retaliated by re-building the Ram temple at the site.

According to bleeding heart liberals, terrorists are born or bred because of illiteracy, poverty, oppression, and discrimination. They argue that instead of eliminating them, the root cause of these four disabilities in society should be removed. This is rubbish. Osama bin laden was a billionaire. In the failed Times Square episode, failed terrorist Shahzad was from a highly placed family in Pakistan and had an MBA from a reputed US university.

It is also a ridiculous idea that terrorists cannot be deterred because they are irrational and willing to die. Terrorist masterminds have political goals and a method in their madness. An effective strategy to deter terrorism is to defeat those political goals and to rubbish them by counter-terrorist action.Thus, I advocate the following strategy to negate the political goals of Islamic terrorism in India.

Goal 1: Overawe India on Kashmir.
Strategy: Remove Article 370 and resettle ex-servicemen in the valley. Create Panun Kashmir for the Hindu Pandit community. Look for or create an opportunity to take over PoK. If Pakistan continues to back terrorists, assist the Baluchis and Sindhis to get their independence.

Goal 2: Blast temples, kill Hindu devotees.
Strategy: Remove the masjid in Kashi Vishwanath temple and the 300 masjids at other temple sites.

Goal 3: Turn India into Darul Islam.
Strategy: Implement the uniform civil code, make learning of Sanskrit and singing of Vande Mataram mandatory, and declare India a Hindu Rashtra in which non-Hindus can vote only if they proudly acknowledge that their ancestors were Hindus. Rename India Hindustan as a nation of Hindus and those whose ancestors were Hindus.

Goal 4: Change India’s demography by illegal immigration, conversion, and refusal to adopt family planning.
Strategy: Enact a national law prohibiting conversion from Hinduism to any other religion. Re-conversion will not be banned. Declare that caste is not based on birth but on code or discipline. Welcome non-Hindus to re-convert to the caste of their choice provided they adhere to the code of discipline. Annex land from Bangladesh in proportion to the illegal migrants from that country staying in India. At present, the northern third from Sylhet to Khulna can be annexed to re-settle illegal migrants.

Goal 5: Denigrate Hinduism through vulgar writings and preaching in mosques, madrassas, and churches to create loss of self-respect amongst Hindus and make them fit for capitulation.
Strategy: Propagate the development of a Hindu mindset.

India can solve its terrorist problem within five years by such a deterrent strategy, but for that we have to learn the four lessons outlined above, and have a Hindu mindset to take bold, risky, and hard decisions to defend the nation. If the Jews could be transformed from lambs walking meekly to the gas chambers to fiery lions in just 10 years, it should not be difficult for Hindus in much better circumstances (after all we are 83% of India), to do so in five years.

Guru Gobind Singh showed us how just five fearless persons under spiritual guidance can transform a society. Even if half the Hindu voters are persuaded to collectively vote as Hindus, and for a party sincerely committed to a Hindu agenda, then we can forge an instrument for change. And that is the bottom line in the strategy to deter terrorism in a democratic Hindustan at this moment of truth.
