Gujrat Riots: Has Indian Democracy Breathed its Last?

Published

Gujrat and Delhi Riots in India

The Supreme Court of India recently gave a clean chit to PM Narendra Modi following the 2022 Gujrat riot case.

What may seem like justice to a long-held case is a dark night for all the families who bled during those riots. The decision to provide clean chit to 64 accused people, including PM Narendra Modi, is sought to be unfair by several political analysts.

Gujrat Riots from 2002 to 2022

Gujrat Riots took place in 2002 after a train, Sabarmati Express, carrying 60 Hindu pilgrims, was set on fire. Narendra Modi was the Chief Minister of Gujrat at that time. His lack of interest and sympathy toward Muslim killings made him accountable for the incidents.

He was accused of the ruthless murder of a Muslim politician during the riots. Despite strong evidence and witnesses regarding Modi’s contribution to encouraging Hindus, declaring him free from the accusation is appalling.

A senior police officer stated in Supreme Court that Gujrat Chief Minister Narendra Modi intentionally allowed anti-Muslim riots in the state following the burning of Sabarmati Express. He mentioned that Modi said, “The Hindus should be allowed to vent their anger.”

On the contrary, Modi denies any wrongdoings.

The Indian Supreme Court and Nanavati Commission Report on Gujrat and Delhi Riots

The Indian government has arrested the Indian civil rights activist Teesta Setalvad for spinning a conspiracy against the Modi government in Gujrat. The arrest was made considering her advocacy for the victims of the 2002 Gujrat Riots.

Besides Setalvad, the Indian government has been after all the activists and officials who spoke the truth about the riots. The process for justice has come to a full circle. Now, the government says that it was an attempt to topple the Modi government in Gujarat.

Instead of holding the responsible accountable, the Nanavati Commission report on the 2002 Gujarat riots asks for strict action against police officers who could not control the mobs as they were not competent enough.

“There is no evidence to show that these attacks were either inspired or instigated or abated by any minister of the state,” the commission said in its 1,500-page long report.

The Police’s Say regarding 2022 Gujrat Riots

Some police officers believe that it is true that they could not control the mob in some places. However, it is not because of their incompetence or negligence. Contrarily, the mob was massive, and the police were not adequately armed to face this unanticipated situation.

The Indian Supreme Court and people in favour of the decision stressed that the mob was agitated by turning the Sabarmati Express under a planned conspiracy. Narendra Modi also mentions that you cannot stop angry people from showing their frustration.

Reports show that over 1,000 people (mostly Muslims) were killed in the 2022 Gujrat Riots.

Civil rights activists and officials believe that people who lost their lives in this riot rising from religious conflict must receive justice. It would be unfair to free everyone accused of involvement in the riots.

Fact Checker and Journalist Muhammad Zubair arrested by BJP-led Uttar Pradesh Government.

The Uttar Pradesh government arrested fact checker and Journalist Muhammad Zubair on June 27, 2022.

Muhammad Zubair is an active political journalist and the co-founder of India’s leading fact-checking website Alt News. He works laboriously with his team to bring out the truth from gold-plated lies and has been under BJP’s radar for a long time because he attempted to reveal fabricated stories.

Zubair gained international prominence after he called out JBP spokesperson Nupur Sharma about her derogatory comments regarding Muhammad (PBUH) ’s marriages. These remarks were condemned by the Islamic world, resulting in apologies from the Indian government.

According to the Uttar Pradesh government, Zubair was arrested over a 2018 tweet that insulted religious beliefs.

The tweet showed a picture of a hotel with a different name after BJP came into power. It stated

“Before 2014: Honeymoon Hotel. After 2014: Hanuman Hotel”

The hotel owners changed the name Honeymoon Hotel to the Hindu God Hanuman’s name.

However, analysts and people following politics in India closely believe that the reason for the arrest was something else indeed.

There are several cases on Zubair around the “provoking hate” theory showing that it is a planned conspiracy.

Following his arrest on June 27, 2021, he was in and out of the courtroom and prison regarding the case. Delhi police further accused him of destroying evidence, criminal conspiracies, and receiving foreign funding. They took Zubair to a remote town on the India-Nepal border for “further investigations.”

Later, Uttar Pradesh police took his custody and added more charges to his name, like using “hatemongers” as an offensive term. Allegedly, Zubair used the words against three Hindu religious leaders. Remember that these leaders used hate speech and threatened to rape Muslim women.

Supreme Court granted a five-day temporary bail to Zubair on July 8, 2022.

He received bail in the original case by the Delhi government regarding the 2018 hate speech tweet. Yet, he was kept in custody considering around half a dozen more charges by the Uttar Pradesh police. When he gets bail in one case, another same case is lodged at a different location so that he remains in custody. It is thought to be a conspiracy and the police’s tactic to keep him in custody.

Muhammad Zubair, belonging to Bangalore, co-founded the fact-checking platform Alt News in 2017. Zubair and his partner Pratik Sinha have been working with due diligence to combat fake news and bring facts to the surface, including some from the Gujrat riots.

Alt News, co-founded by Zubair, has debunked significant claims and misinformation, including caste, religion, and unscientific myths.

The website focuses on fake news of all sorts, especially the unfair treatment of Muslims in the region. Muhammad, being a Muslim, has been charged with different accusations and kept in custody for unneeded periods.

Court ordered the immediate release of Muhammad Zubair in mid-July.

Conclusion

After witnessing the selective execution of Muslims and a sequential policy of ruling out the special status of Muslim majority provinces, are we seeing the end of the glorious Indian Democracy and the beginning of something darker?

The Gujrat riots with no solution in sight and nobody willing to take or impose responsibilities, fact-checkers getting penalized and arrested for other factual findings, the tyranny on Muslims for the past 70 years and more.

Our point of view is simple, what India is doing now, we have seen what Germany did 80 years ago, and that did not end well for anybody.

Until then, make sure you see our featured article on the future of Islam.

Muslims have more reasons to hate the US than the other way around

Published

Muslims hate the US

I don’t think that most Muslims hate ordinary Americans who believe in the general principle of “live and let live.” Moreover I don’t think that most Americans would unhesitatingly embrace Israeli Nazism if they had the chance to know the truth about Israel e.g. that it is a criminal state par excellence based on ethnic cleansing land theft and racist and religious discrimination.

Unfortunately most Americans are spoon-fed Jewish propaganda from early childhood. This creates a virtual reality in America’s collective mind about Israel a virtual reality that is nearly completely disconnected from the real reality in Israel-Palestine.

For example many Americans are made to think that Israel and America have much in common in terms of democracy. However the truth is that democracy in Israel is more or less confined to Jews while non-Jews are systematically discriminated against. Their land is confiscated their homes are demolished and their rights and dignity are trampled upon.

And when they seek redress at Jewish courts they discover that non-Jews can’t possibly hope for true justice and equality under Jewish rule. Ask non-Jewish Americans who have been living in Israel and you will hear a lot of hair-raising stories about the Israeli “democracy.”

Some Americans are so brainwashed that they are willing to claim that Muslims hate America for its freedoms.  This is what Georg W. Bush probably the most ignorant President America has ever had once claimed.

The truth of the matter however is that most Muslims hate the US government for embracing tyrannical Arab and Muslim regimes that torment their own people by denying them natural freedoms and civil liberties as well as the right to freely elect their own governments. This is in addition of course to backing and supporting Israel’s Nazi-like policies including ethnic cleansing and settlement expansion at the expense of the native Palestinians.

It is really scandalous that while Americans boasts bout their First Amendment freedoms successive American governments have consistently embraced despotic regimes abroad. In many instances the US intervened either brazenly or behind the scenes to destabilize or overthrow democratically elected governments such as in Iran Chile and the occupied Palestinian territory.

Of courser America’s days of infamy are too numerous to be counted. For example we all tend to view Adolph Hitler as the ultimate embodiment of evil. However it is historically true that the US its allies Stalin Mao murdered more people than the Third Reich ever did.

America wanted to be looked upon as a moral example to be followed. But the beacon of light eventually turned into a ruthless beastly power where military might took priority over moral power.

Take for example America’s stand over Israel. For decades the United States enabled Israel to violate every international law and norm and commit every conceivable crime under the sun including murdering children by raining on them White phosphorus.

This is the same America that allows herself to judge the world for human rights violations while enabling Israel diplomatically politically and mainly militarily to pursue decidedly Nazi-like policies against the Peoples of the Middle East.

Watch the ongoing genocidal onslaught which against our helpless and unprotected people in the Gaza Strip. Some of you might be prompted to think that I am indulging in excessive exaggeration when I speak of a genocidal onslaught.

But I am not. Otherwise, how else can we describe a condition where hundreds of ultra-advanced war planes rain missiles and laser-guided bombs from high altitudes on apartment buildings, homes, and civilian neighborhoods packed with men, women and children? Yet, this is exactly what Israel has done¸ murdering , maiming and incinerating thousands of innocent Palestinian civilians and utterly destroying tens of thousands of buildings.

Israel effectively destroyed Gaza, murdering and maiming untold numbers of civilians. Gaza, more or less, became the Dresden of Palestine. And the whole world looked on rather passively as if the killing-field and the shockingly pornographic destruction of life and property were occurring on a distant galaxy. we are not really talking about war, even an asymmetrical war. We are actually talking about a real massacre, a massacre that is reminiscent of the time when the Nazis ganged up on European Jewry 70 years ago.

The macabre scenes of decapitated and badly-mutilated children were too shocking to be described in words. Reporters at the site of the carnage lost their composure and collapsed as they couldn’t cope with the gruesomeness of the pornographic bloodbath.

In 2006, the Nazi government of Israel dropped 2-3 million cluster bomblets over Lebanon enough to kill or maim 2-3 million Lebanese children. And instead of denouncing the manifestly nefarious act the US government declared that “Israel has the right to defend itself.”

Today there is an anti-Islamic hysteria in the United States. The main reason for this hysteria is the fact that the United States can’t live normally with itself without an external enemy. In short there has to be an enemy in order to keep the American psyche intact. There has to be an enemy in order to keep the military industrial complex functioning. In short capitalism can’t function without war.

In fact Muslims don’t view themselves as enemies of the United States as the vast bulk of Muslims are peaceable people who are mainly interested in the pursuance of their daily life enhancing their daily living improving their standard of living and making ends meet.

Yes there are violent groups here and there but these are tiny groups which in no way represent the Muslims of the world.

I think many Americans are ignorant of these facts. I also think that many other Americans would condemn Muslims right or wrong. I am  talking about people who would burn the Muslim Holy scripture the Quran in order to highlight their hatred of Islam a religion with more than 1.6 billion  people.

Well to those I say one thing: the dogs will keep barking and the caravan will keep going.

Besides if you have one reason to hate us we have a thousand reasons to hate you.

None the less unlike you we are not willing to allow our primitive impulses to decide our behaviors. Our religion the source of our morality and behavior doesn’t allow us to behave the way they do.

This is why we will not burn copies of the New Testament we will not attack churches and we will not call Christianity bad names.

It is often claimed that the religion Jesus founded is based on Love. But any fleeting view of your “religion” caricatures a hate-based cult that has very little to do with Jesus and the authentic messages he preached.

Did Jesus ever call children “murderers” as you did recently in Texas? In fact I dare say that you and people who subscribe to your cultist hatefulness are a cancer upon the conscience of Christ.

So you hate us because of the 9/11 events. Well 99% of Muslims condemned in the strongest terms these terrorist acts. And we are sorry for the umpteenth time for the death of dozens of hundreds of innocent Americans including Muslims in these terrorist attacks.

None the less your democratic elected government has been responsible for the death of millions of Muslims. In Iraq alone the United States has killed or caused the death of at least two million Muslims in the past two decades. Hundreds of thousands of other Muslims have been killed in Afghanistan. These are just two examples of America’s genocidal wars against the Muslim world.

Hence if you have the right to cite one 9/11 we can cite hundreds and thousands of 9/11s. And don’t you ever think that your lives are worth more than our lives. All human beings were created by the same God and are equal if only because there is no such a thing as a lesser God.

One day the oppressed will have their day and there will be no spin no hasbara and no propaganda.  And the New York Times and Fox News  and AIPAC and all other organs of lie  will have been evaporated into nonexistence.

God is just.

Jewish Nazism is reality not fiction

Published

Jewish Nazism

I realize that the title of this article might offend and provoke many people, especially those adhering to the Judaic faith. I do know that Jews, like everyone else, are not carbon copies of each other. There are many conscientious Jews who believe in fairness and basic human equality regardless of color, race and faith, and strongly reject racism and chauvinism in any form. Also, I will no longer be using euphemistic language in reference to Jewish Nazism especially in light of the latest Dresden-like bombing of Gaza by the Judeo-Nazi state also known as Israel.

These people I salute for their rectitude, humanity and morality. They are our natural partners for peace and a better tomorrow for our children and their children.

But there are numerous other Jews who don’t believe in human equality and justice for all. Indeed, there are many Jews, e.g. followers of the hateful Chabad sect, who don’t even ascribe full humanity to people who are not members of the Jewish faith.

Needless to say, the venomous ideology adopted by these racist fanatics has much in common with Aryan Nazism.

Read Also: The futility of counting on the U.S. to pressure Israel

What else can be said to describe an ideology that teaches adherents that the life of a non-Jew has no sanctity and that goyem can be murdered without the slightest compunction or feeling of guilt?

The shocking reactions by the Israeli government, rabbis, and community leaders to the latest abduction, murder and subsequent burning of a Palestinian kids in Gaza are very telling.

In a certain sense, these reactions and attitudes can be compared to the reactions and attitudes of many Germans to the pogroms carried out against Jews by the Nazis prior to and during the Second World War.

The gleefully despicable embrace of the brashly hideous crime by the bulk of the Israeli Jewish society underscores the fact that millions of Jews in Israel and abroad do harbor certain Nazi tendencies, especially against the Palestinian people. These tendencies are too real and too tangible to be overstated.

However, we must call the spade a spade, even at the expense of upsetting the huge Zionist propaganda machine which habitually alters the black into white and the blatant big lie into a “truth” glorified by sheepish westerners who have long been brainwashed into believing that Israel is a modern, civilized and democratic state.

In the final analysis, when Jews (or anyone else) think, behave and act like the Nazis thought, behaved and acted, they simply become Nazis. Pure and simple.

Today, there are numerous Jews who openly call for the physical annihilation of Palestinians as retaliation for the abduction and killing of three Jewish settlers in the West Bank.

Saber-rattling rabbis speak menacingly of the need to adopt “the Biblical way” to combat the Palestinians.

For those not versed in Jewish phraseology, “Biblical way” is euphemism for genocide.

Today, the Israeli media reported that some army personnel openly appealed to the government to “give us the green light to annihilate them.”!!!

Just read what thousands of Jewish youths have been writing on their Facebook pages! It is outrageous, disgusting and sheer evil.

To put it in a nutshell, Nazism is being regurgitated and exuded all over Israel. This is happening in broad daylight while professional liars like Binyamin Netanyahu are filling the ether with all sorts of shameless lies about Israel being victimized by the Palestinians.

Seventy-six years have passed since Kristalnacht. Today Jewish settlers in the west Bank, in close cooperation and coordination, with the Israeli army could very well carry out a huge pogrom against an innocent and helpless community which really finds itself very much in the same precarious and vulnerable position that European Jewry experienced prior to WWII.

I am not a prophet of doom and gloom, but the signs are unmistakably bleak.

A final point, the Palestinian people in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip are surviving thanks to the good-will of the international public opinion. Should the international community go into a brief slumber, God forbid, Israel and its own Wehrmacht, SS, Gestapo and Hitler Youth might embark on the unthinkable. Don’t you ever say Jews can’t carry out a holocaust against their victims, the Palestinians?

Words can kill; words do kill.

Unfortunately, the chilling words we are hearing from many Israeli Jews these days leave no room for optimism.

I’m most definitely Palestinian!

Palestinian

In-your-face brutality, unending genocide, unending atrocities, mass slaughter directed against one’s people, one’s brethren, causes the most strong and unimaginable reaction, in response to the oppressor’s horrendous and barbaric deeds. The autocratic, despotic, tyrannical Israeli-hand systematically and with pre-planned engineered precision, massacres, annihilates, eliminates the young and the old Palestinian alike – in the most inhumane and most despicable of ways. Slaughters men, women and children in broad daylight. Bares its blood-thirsty intentions, its monstrous objectives in the most unashamed of ways. Mercy to none – not to the living, not to the severely wounded and dying; no mercy even on the dead or their lifeless remains.

The constant fear of being bombed anytime, rained down with missiles and all manner of munitions from within the vast arsenal of the Israeli side; definitely stockpiled high, with enough buffer inventory of munitions, deadly and lethal stockpile, to blow the receiving side multiple times over; so as not to leave a “shred” of evidence of your original physical-self on the surface of the land, which your people, generations and generations of your ancestors, since time immemorial have dwelt on.

Read Also: The age-old Palestinian-fear (of the Israeli thirst)

The inexplicable terror of seeing Israeli drones constantly “floating about” unopposed, in the skies above your unsheltered head. Drones with eyes like that of a greedy dog. Electronic pixels wanting to cast an evil eye, an evil-spell upon your very being. Eyeing upon your existence, wanting to blow-up, tear-up your physical being, seemingly wanting to devour your flesh and body; all by way of a few computer clicks / even the manual computer-clicks now, seemingly, are being replaced by more automated ways of executing these most evil deeds. Software, coded software, written programs to execute on the most Evil-intentions. Evil-intentions of the most evil amongst the human race.

Everybody knows, the Israelis have exterminated with their weaponry, uncountable numbers of Palestinians across a 40, 50km stretch of land, in front of the whole world, over the past so many weeks and months. And retain the capacity, the ability, the power, the means to slaughter, devour many, many more innocent ones, day in, day out.

The Israelis possess American technology, American weapons – the bedrock of their faith, the foundation stone of their belief in their never-ending invincibility. The Palestinians have their faith in Allah; that Allah will redeem his faithful people, from the clutches of these war-mongers, who rain down terror, day and night on the most innocent, the most vulnerable.

Most definitely, the Moslem spirit in me, the Palestinian spirit in me is not defeated; quite to the contrary, it’s rekindled, stronger than ever.

I’m definitely Palestinian, in every sense of the word, and Allah will save us, Allah will have mercy on us, Allah will guide us.
