Dr. Swamy’s tweet on the orders of the Delhi HC on the EVM

On EVMs, I have enough masala in the HC order, to go and get further clarification and order from SC.

I’m returning to India, deal with it: Salman Rushdie

An interesting interview that Burka Dutt had with Salman Rushdie.  Burka Dutt viciously interjects the so called Hindu fundamentalist angle relating to M.F.Hussain’s paintings without bringing out the fact that the objections from the Hindus were on his obsene painting of Hindu deities for which he even apologised.  Besides, the Hindus never threatened him in any manner and Hussain left India for reasons of tax evasion and not because of his fictitious threat.  It may also be that had a case filed against him in the court of law in India for his wilful hurting of the Hindu community had proceeded then he could have been convicted and he escaped to the Middle East to avoid conviction.

The important point is that even Rushdie who eloquently states that in a democracy both sides should have a right to express their opinion went along with Burka and condemned the Hindus by glossing over the fact that the Hindus were expressing their disgust in a very legitimate and lawful manner.  If he had admitted that then he would have become my darling.

The guy also said that those who oppose him were not true Muslims.  What!  How can he forget that the Islamic hoards had destroyed thousands of our temples and desecrated the idols proof of which is available all over India?  True selfish Muslim!  Very disgusting to see his schioprenia!

But then we should also realize that Burka Dutt and the NDTV do play to the minorities while trying to be secular and democratic. (sic!)

This interview is important for the fact that the Congressmen invented the threat against him for vote bank politics!

EC working at Congress’ directive: SAD

Chandigarh: Punjab’s ruling Shiromani Akali Dal on Wednesday accused the Election Commission of acting on “direct commands” of Congress to “vilify” SAD and its leaders through a raid conducted at the house of an Akali Dal candidate, a confidante of Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, in Muktsar district.

A SAD press release in Chandigarh this evening said the raid conducted jointly by the IT department and the Election Commission officials yielded nothing and “has exposed the conspiracy under which the Commission and Congress are trying desperately to influence the poll process”.

“The Chief Electoral Officer is implementing the manifesto of Congress which has always opposed Badal’s welfare policies for Dalits, the poor and farmers,” said the release.

“We are fighting an election not only against Congress but also against the brazenly biased Election Commission. It is like playing a match in which you are fighting not only against your rivals but also the referee”, the party said.

“But we will register a thumping win in the elections and Congress and the EC will have eggs on their faces”, it added.

The SAD asked the Chief Electoral Commissioner to clarify whether it still thought its officials were not functioning under orders of Congress leaders and whether or not such an action brought disrepute to an august body like the EC.

The party also alleged the decision of the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) to ban the supply of ‘atta daal’ to poor families under the ongoing government scheme was taken at the behest of Congress.

INDIA’S RULER WHO DOESN’T KNOW EVEN ONE INDIAN LANGUAGE: SONIA GANDHI’S ढोंग

On January 25, 2012, in Current Affairs, India, by Sanjeev Sabhlok

This must be true. From a speech given yesterday in Samrala, Panjab. I’ve not located the source on the internet, yet, but there is significant evidence, which I discuss below.  [Addendum. I've been provided the source: http://epaper.indianexpress.com/c/46596]

What I can read from the notes is: “captain amrinder singh, Ambika Soni Ji, … ndar Kaur Bhah??, rak ji, bk han prasad, Singh libra ji, sanai aur viro ki is bhumi ko me ni karti hu”. The proper one is: “Swadhinta senani aur viro ki is bhumi ko me naman karti hu” (as noted above in the image).

EVIDENCE OF THE VERACITY OF THESE “NOTES”:

a) “Clad in a salwar kameez and donning a mustard duppata“. (Tribune) The notes clearly have the salwar as background. The salwar kameez matches the picture in The Hindu.

b) “The UPA chairman was presented a siropa and a shawl by PCC chief Capt Amarinder Singh, MP Partap Bajwa and AICC incharge GS Charak.” Amarinder Singh is clearly mentioned in the notes.

c) The bodyguard depicted above matches the one in the picture here, in The Hindu.

d) I’ve cropped and turned upside down a small section of the picture of Sonia sitting on the chair. It looks like this:

This little snapshot is difficult to read but had this picture been taken with a powerful digital SLR (as it almost certainly was), then it it likely would have, if blown up, matched the image above (which shows the detailed text).

e) While Indians are smart, it is rare for a picture to be “doctored” so quickly and so genuinely. I therefore rule out doctoring of this picture. This is a genuine article. It is also very rare for someone to be smart enough to strike out words, and generally create such a powerful impression of authenticity.

Ideally I’d like to see the original high density 4-6 MB picture from which the “notes” were identified. Nevertheless:

I’m almost 99 per cent convinced about the authenticity of the above picture of Sonia Gandhi’s “notes”. 

If true, it is a sign of EXTREME SHAME for India, that we couldn’t find ONE PERSON who knows an Indian language, to govern India.

An Italian who had learnt a Indian language (and taken Indian citizenship) might have been tolerated as the head of India’s ruling party. But this is intolerable. A foreigner effectively ruling independent India.

And we have the shameful picture of a Sikh “honoring” this “Indian” foreigner with a sword. The entire Sikh religion is besmirched by such actions.

Addendum

This is as authentic as it gets: http://epaper.indianexpress.com/c/46596

Thanks, AS Raghunath.

How Circumstance Dictates Islamic Behavior

 

How Circumstance Dictates Islamic Behavior
Preach Peace When Weak, Wage War When Strong

by Raymond Ibrahim
Jihad Watch
January 18, 2012

Has there ever been a time when one group of people openly exposes its animosity for another group of people—even as this second group not only ignores the animosity, but speaks well, enables, and legitimizes the first group?

Welcome to the 21^st century, where Western politicians empower those Muslims who are otherwise constantly and openly denouncing all non-Muslims as enemies to be fought and subjugated.

Consider this video of Sheikh Yassir al-Burhami, a top-ranked figure in Egypt’s Salafi movement which won some 25% of the votes in recent elections. He makes clear a point that, in a different era, would be thoroughly eye-opening: that all notions of peace with non-Muslims are based on circumstance. When Muslims are weak, they should be peaceful; when strong, they should go on the offensive.

Discussing “the analogy between Egypt’s Christians and the Jews of Medina,” Burhami pointed out that Muslims may make temporary peace with infidels, when circumstance calls for it:

The Jews of Medina represent a paradigm—laid by the prophet [Muhammad]—that shows how Muslims should deal with infidels. The prophet’s methods of dealing with infidels are available for Muslims to replicate depending on their situation and their capabilities. The Prophet in Mecca dealt with the infidels in a certain way, so whenever Muslims are vulnerable they should deal with the infidels in this same manner.

Burhami is referring to the famous Mecca/Medina division: when Muhammad was weak and outnumbered in his early Mecca period, he preached peace and made pacts with infidels; when he became strong in the Medina period, he preached war and went on the offensive. This dichotomy—preach peace when weak, wage war when strong—has been instructive to Muslims for ages.

After quoting Koran 4:77, “Refrain from action, uphold prayers, and pay your zakat,” Burhami continues:

In many infidel countries, such as occupied Palestine, we instruct Muslims to do just that [follow Koran 4:77]. Today in Gaza, we do not tell Muslims to launch rockets everyday and so destroy the country, but we tell them “Refrain from action and respect the truce.” When the Prophet first arrived in Medina, he made conciliation with the Jews, conciliation without jizya [i.e., equal-term conciliation without forcing Jews to pay tribute and live as second-class dhimmis]—this is a pattern that can be followed whenever circumstances dictate. However, when they breached the covenant he fought them and ultimately imposed jizya on the People of the Book [Jews and Christians]. Nor is this Sura [Koran 9:29] abrogated; it is acknowledged and agreed upon.

Burhami exposes much here, beginning with the Koran verse he quotes: when weak, Muslims are to “refrain from action”—but “pay your zakat,” which, among other things, funds the jihad. Also, as Muhammad made peace with the Jews of Medina, without making them submit to jizya (tribute to be paid “while utterly subdued”), so too are Palestinians allowed to make temporary peace with Israel. In both cases, circumstance—namely, Muslim weakness—justify it. But, when capability allows, Koran 9:29—which calls for jizya and subjugation, and which Burhami quotes as having abrogated the other peaceful verses—takes over.

Burhami’s conclusion:

Yes we can deal with those Christians [Egypt's Copts] as the Jews were dealt with in Medina; it is an option. The Prophet made the Hudaybiya Reconciliation with the infidels and held a truce for ten years; that is also an option…. So, it is legitimate to choose from examples set by the Prophet, depending on what suits the situation of Muslims now.

In short, Muslims may be tolerant of Egypt’s Copts now, and not collect jizya and place them in dhimmitude, until they are more capable—just like Palestinians may make peace with Israel now, till they are more capable of waging an offensive. Indeed, Dr. Mohamed Saad Katatni—the secretary general of the Muslim Brotherhood‘s Freedom and Justice Party, which won 40% of the votes—reportedly said that Copts would not pay jizya now, implying that the idea of collecting tribute from subdued “dhimmi” Copts is very much alive among the Brotherhood, only dormant till a more opportune moment.

One may argue that Sheikh Yassir al-Burhami—”one man,” a “radical”—is not representative of “true Islam.” The problem, however, is that all his arguments have been made countless times by countless Muslims, including the most authoritative, throughout the ages. Even the late Yasser Arafat evoked Hudaybiya as representative of “peace” with Israel.

And yet, despite all this—despite the fact that this video is a drop in the bucket of evidence—here is the West, making the way clear for people like Burhami to power in the name of “democracy,” regardless that pacts, smiles, and handshakes over cups of coffee exist solely when circumstance, in this case, Muslim weakness, dictates.

Duality and Political Islam

by Bill Warner (Sept. 2007)

Since September 11 we have asked the question: “What is the real Islam?” The answers from Muslims and Westerners are contradictory and make us confused.

There is one way to gain clarity and surety about Islam—our best rational approach is the scientific method.

Let us start with the fact that the complete doctrine of Islam is found in three texts: Koran, the Sira (Mohammed’s biography) and Hadith (stories and anecdotes about Mohammed)—the Islamic Trilogy.

The Koran is confusing as it is arranged, but it can be made straightforward by scientific analysis.

The first step is to put the verses in the right time order, collect and categorize all of the similar stories. It is at this point that the missing parts, or holes, in the document become apparent. The life of Mohammed fills in and explains all the gaps and all the confusion falls away. Mohammed is the key to the Koran and Islam.

The doctrine breaks down in time into Mohammed in Mecca (the early part) and Mohammed in Medina (the later part). In essence, there are two Korans, one written in Mecca and the second Koran written in Medina.

The two Korans are the first grand division of Islamic doctrine.

What is intriguing is that the two Korans include contradictions. “You have your religion and I have mine” 109:1 is a far cry from “I shall cast terror in the hearts of the kafirs. Strike off their heads…” 8:12. The Koran gives a way to solve these contradictions—the later verse is “better” than the earlier verse. But the earlier verse is still true. All the verses from the Koran are true because they are the words of Allah.

The Koran defines an Islamic logic that is dualistic. Two things which contradict each other can both be true. In a unitary, scientific logic, if two things contradict each other, then at least one of them is false. Not so in dualistic logic.

All of the doctrine refers to two classes of people—Muslims and non-Muslims, kafirs. The doctrine that applies to kafirs is political in nature and is rarely neutral or positive. The part of the doctrine that applies to Muslims is cultural, legal, and religious.

The second grand division of Islamic doctrine is into religious Islam and political Islam.

It is surprising how much of the doctrine is political. Approximately 67% of the Meccan Koran and 51% of the Medinan Koran is political. About 75% of the Sira is about what was done to the kafir. Roughly 20% of the Hadith is about jihad, a political act.

Even the concept of Hell is political, not religious. There are 146 parts of the Koran that refer to Hell. Only 4% of the people in Islamic Hell are there for moral reasons, such as murder, theft or greed. In 96% of the cases the person is in Hell because they did not agree with Mohammed. This is a political charge. In short, Islamic Hell is primarily a political prison.

In summary, Islam is an extremely political doctrine. It has to be. Mohammed preached the religion of Islam for 13 years and garnered 150 followers. Then inMedina, he turned to politics and jihad and became the first ruler of all Arabia. When he died, he did not have a single enemy left to speak or act against him, a very political result.

The Koran says in 14 verses that a Muslim is not and cannot be the friend of the kafir. This is pure dualism. The dualism of the Koran has no universal statements about humanity. The entire world is divided between Islam and the kafirs. The only statement about humanity as a whole is that all humanity must submit to Islam.

Ethics are the membrane between religion and politics. Two sets of ethics are laid out in the Trilogy. One set is for Muslims and the other set is for the kafirs. Examples: a Muslim should not steal from another Muslim, a Muslim should not kill another Muslim, a Muslim should not cheat a Muslim.

The kafir can be treated in one of two ways. They can be treated well or they can be robbed, killed, or cheated if it advances Islam. On more than one occasion Mohammed said to deceive the kafir. Jihad as a political method killed, robbed and enslaved the kafirs. This is a dualistic ethical system.

Islamic dualism is hidden by religion. The “good” verses of the Meccan Koran cover the verses of jihad in the Medinan Koran. Thus religious Islam shields political Islam from examination.

Scientific analysis shows us that there is a political Islam as well as a religious Islam. To argue about religion is fruitless, but we can talk about politics. We need to discuss political Islam, a system of ethical and political dualism.

Commonwealth Games Scam: Comptroller and Auditor General Report

‘PC ignored warning on CWG expenditure’

New Delhi: Former Sports Minister Mani Shankar Aiyar on Monday blamed Union Home Minister P Chidambaram for failing to prevent the 2010 Commonwealth Games scam as he ignored warnings about high-handed behaviour of CWG Organising Committee (CWG-OC) chief Suresh Kalmadi.

According to reports, Aiyar, in an interview to a private news channel, informed that he had written a letter to Chidambaram, who was then Union Finance Minister, about the unethical manner in which the CWG-OC led by Kalmadi was spending money in the name of preparations for the mega sporting events.

“My letters of complaint were neither acknowledged nor acted upon by Chidambaram, who was the Finance Minister till 2007,” Aiyar was quoted as saying.

“Prithviraj Chavan, who was then Minister of State in PMO, also initially alerted me that I should be careful about releasing funds for CWG,” Aiyar reportedly informed adding, “The present Chief Election Commissioner SY Qureshi, who was my secretary in the sports ministry, also shared my concerns against wasteful expenditure in CWG.”

Aiyar, who shot off the letter in Dec 5, 2007, to the then Finance Minister P Chidambaram, had questioned the manner in which the CWG-OC was spending thousands of crores of Rupees in the pretext of preparations for the 2010 Games.

Aiyar had requested the Finance Ministry to remove the Sports Ministry from the procedure of allotment of funds to the CWG Organising Committee.

However, it failed to evoke any response from Chidambaram. Aiyar had also sent a written complaint about Kalmadi to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

The content of Aiyar’s letter, which is now in media houses, explains how the law of the land proved weaker in front of Suresh Kalmadi, enjoying huge clout. It has been revealed how the Sports Ministry was arm-twisted to release funds. Kalmadi used to manage orders to release funds directly from the Finance Ministry without even giving proper account of the expenses.

Owing to the fresh details coming out in the open about the controversial CWG Games, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh recently asked the Sports Ministry for “relevant details” regarding the letters written by Aiyar on last year’s sporting events.

“The letters written by Mani Shankar Aiyar referred to in a news item….are in the public domain….The Prime Minister has asked the Sports Ministry to provide relevant details in this regard,” a statement from the PMO said.

The statement also made a reference to Singh’s remarks on the subject during his interaction with the editors recently.

“…Mani Shankar Aiyar wrote to me, but he wrote to me on purely ideological grounds–he was opposed to spending that much money on hosting the CWG. We should be doing more in other sectors. He (Aiyar) did not bring to me anything wrong that was being done,” Singh had said during the interaction.

Games contracts to media houses arbitrary and biased – CAG

http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/games-contracts-to-media-houses-arbitrary-and-biased-cag-report/1/147735.html

Koda’s investment in Sweden traced: ED

The Enforcement Directorate on Tuesday told the Jharkhand High Court that a Rs.200-crore investment by the former Chief Minister, Madhu Koda, and his associates in Sweden had been traced.

The ED report comes on a petition filed by Durga Oraon in 2008 against Mr. Koda and five former Ministers seeking an inquiry into their assets.

In 2009, the Income-Tax department raided many houses and arrested the former Ministers. Various money laundering cases are pending against Mr. Koda and his associates, who are lodged in the Birsa Munda jail.

The ED had filed separate cases against Mr. Koda and his associates. The next hearing is on February 29.
