ISIS Threat: Dance of Barbarians

Issue Net Edition | Date : 06 Sep , 2014

The fact that Al Qaeda has been bamboozled by the ISIS in the Middle East is no secret. Pressured by US-NATO, Al Qaeda was in the mode of shifting its major base from Pakistan to Africa when opportunity arrived for assisting the rebels in Syria (and in the process the US) plus even helping US directly like destabilizing and destroying Libya.

National Investigation Agency (NIA) reports that more than 300 Indian youth have been recruited by the Pakistan-based Tehreek-e-Taliban(TTP)  which has joined hands with ISIS…

But as Al Qaeda started establishing in the Middle East, its offshoot the ISIS was trained and armed to counter and gobble up its own mother; Al Qaeda – talk of the snake eating her own eggs. That the ISIS was funded by Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and UAE is well known, as is the fact that British mercenary outfits including former Special Forces officers trained the ISIS.

Had ISIS stopped short of Baghdad and not ventured into the Iraqi Kurds autonomous region, the West would have not interfered. However, as always Frankenstein can hardly be expected to act on predicted lines. If the Al Qaeda in conjunction Taliban were beheading journalists and informers, and shooting Shias in the head after lining them up at point blank range (captured Pakistani military soldiers included), the ISIS has gone a step further; dramatizing beheadings of James Foley, Steven Soltof and showcasing this to the world, along with videos of mass executions of unarmed civilians, headless photos of women and children posted on social media, human blood collection in pans and buckets for whatever purpose, the obvious aim being to instill horror, fear and awe.

More the barbarianism displayed, more the aura and amongst all this macabre dance of death and killings, the distorted and jaundiced teaching of Wahabism  promises Jannat (Heaven), where one would have countless Hoors (beautiful celestial women) perpetually at one’s beck and call.

But then there can be malfunctions in this mythical transportation to Jannat, as was brought home by US General ‘Black Jack’ Pershing fighting as bizarre and barbaric radicals’ decades back in Southern Philippines. The story goes that having got hold of some 50 odd radicals he had them tied to stakes in the woods. Some pigs were then brought, slaughtered and the radicals forced to drink the pig blood – which closed the gates to Jannat as per the radical own teachings. But Black Jack went a step further. 49 of the radicals were chopped to pieces, put in the same pit as the slaughtered pigs and burned off – which to the horror of the 50th fellow sent those burnt directly to hell. Finally this fellow, who had also been forced to drink pig blood, was set free to get the message across to his bretheren. And, the story goes that all was quiet thereafter for a couple of years.

The process of radicalization has been orchestrated over decades in consistent fashion. Look around and see how Wahabi thoughts are destroying the Sufi culture of J&K.

Now with all the good work put in by the ISIS in securing the passport to Jannat and more importantly the Hoors, supposing flame throwers are used against them or President Obama, who now vows to kill the ISIS, starts napalming them, would all the plans for Jannat and Hoors not go to naught?

The recent video broadcast by Ayman al Zawahri appears to have put the ISIS in the background in the Indian media. But let us look at the ISIS threat first. Not only is Saudi Arabia continuing to finance ISIS, it continues to finance Al Qaeda, Taliban, LeT and others because of sympathy for anti Shia militancy, as recently brought out in an article by Patrick Cockburn, former head of MI-6 quoting a cable by Hillary Clinton released by Wikileak.

A recent report from the National Investigation Agency (NIA) reports that more than 300 Indian youth have been recruited by the Pakistan-based Tehreek-e-Taliban(TTP)  which has joined hands with ISIS, the youth are being recruited from Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Karnataka, and that they are being trained in Pakistan, Iraq and Syria to become Fidayeen. Jamaat-e-Ahrar is the latest breakaway group from the TTP that has proclaimed allegiance to the ISIS but before this the Syrain Ambassador to India had already said many weeks back that some 5000 Pakistan Taliban had been fighting alongside the ISIS in Syria and Iraq past several months.

Earlier, our media had covered news about five youth from Thane area of Maharashtra having joined the the ISIS in Iraq-Syria, one of whom was killed in fighting subsequently. Then there was also news of 25 Muslim youth of Mizoram having been recruited by the ISI of Pakistan besides reports about Maldivian youth joining the ISIS and two of them having been killed as well.

It is logical that when youth from India and Maldives have been joining the ISIS, youth from Bangladesh must be doing so too. In his recent book, Patrick Cockburn points out that the ISIS Caliphate already has area larger than Britain, housing six million people – a population larger than Denmark, Finland and Ireland. But it is typical of the Indian media, whether by design or default, that a particular issue having earned its TRPs is simply is shoved aside and forgotten thereafter. This happened to the news about the ISIS too despite the NIA report suggesting that these youth may carry out massive attacks across the country, overtaken by the video threat of Al Qaeda, opposition lamenting 100 days of GoI gone to naught, gross underdevelopment in Amethi, floods in J&K, Why PM should talk to children on Teachers day, Delhi government formation, so in and so forth.

Recruitment by ISIS is not difficult considering that the internet facilitates radicalization by all terrorist organizations.

But what caught one’s fancy was a former diplomat voicing ISIS threat was really not much in the Indian context. His contention was, first, that Indian Muslims don’t really get led astray easily and second, that the ISIS Caliphate is quite remote.

The first logic apparently doesn’t even take into account the lakhs of illegal immigrants that we have had over the years (40 lakh Rohangiyas  alone reported in year 2010), how many of them have been trained in terrorist training camps during the BNP rule in Bangladesh when at least four major anti-India terrorist training camps were being run openly, replete with Al Qaeda and SSG instructors. How many of these would have been sent across with specific missions as sleeper cells.

In the above context, it is relevant to note that as early as 1992-93, Pakistani armed modules were inducted pan India; in the states of J&K, Assam, West Bengal, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Kota/Ajmer region of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala and that SIMI had already started deputing ‘volunteers’ to Pakistan for training along with the mujahedeen, Taliban and Al Qaeda cadres, as penned by MK Dhar, former Joint Director IB in his book ‘Open Secrets – India’s intelligence unveiled’ published in 2005. He went on to say that these youth deputed by SIMI “established firm linkages with Islamic Chhatra Shibir, Al Qaeda affiliated HUJI, Al Badr, Al Jihad and other organizations in Bangladesh and were trained in facilities located inside Bangladesh and under the very noses of DGFI and BDR”.  So those who think that Indian Muslims will not get lured by ISIS are only fooling themselves.

The process of radicalization has been orchestrated over decades in consistent fashion. Look around and see how Wahabi thoughts are destroying the Sufi culture of J&K. We need to review how many clerics and scholars from Saudi Arabia visited India in past years, who they meet and whether their mission included propagating that anyone other than Wahabi is anathema and a burden to the earth. India reportedly has some 300,000 mosques (much more than any country in the entire world) but are they and the madrassas leaning towards this radical thought process? To top this all we have the largest youth bulge in the world, 4.68 crores unemployed (majority youth), 40 lakh illegal weapons in circulation and 17 tons of heroin alone being consumed annually.  So why would the youth not fall prey if convinced about the JH Concept – Jannat and Hoors?

  1. YOU CANNOT COMPARE DR SUBRAMANIUM SWAMI WITH HEROS LIKE BHAGAT SINGH , NETAJI SUBHASH CHANDRA BOSE AND LTTE CHIEF VELLUPILLAI PRABHAKARAN , PRABHAKARAN AND NETAJI SUBHASH CHANDRA BOSE CREATED THERE OWN ARMY. PRABHAKARAN HAD IS OWN NAVY . IT REQUIRES GUTS AND BRAINS AND DEDICATION WILL POWER TO DO THIS . DOES SUBRAMANIUM SWAMY HAS THAT GUTS . THESE TWO LEADERS CAME FROM POOR FAMILY, SUBRAMANIUM SWAMY SHOULD LEAVE IS ANTI LTTE IMAGE AND SUPPORT LTTE IN ITS DEMAND FOR A SEPERATE EELAM NATION FOR TAMILIANS WHICH WILL MAKE INDIA AND HINDUISM STRONGER. HE SHOULD LEAVE IS BRAHMINICAL IDENTITY AND STRIVE FOR HINDIUSM, WRITTING AGAINST ISLAM DOES NOT MAKE HIM A PRO HINDU PERSON. IS ANTI LTTE FEELING SHOWS IS PRO BRAHMINICAL MIND , HE SHOULD LEAVE ALL SUCH FOOILISH MENTALITY

  2. ltte ban should be lifted. the recent arrest of bangladeshi militants and isil using sophisticated anti aircraft shoulder guided missile shows the capacity and the funding these islamic terrorists are getting and the danger they pose to the world if these terrorist attack europe.. the ban on ltte should be lifted . ltte as been known to attack muslims

  3. I AM NOT AGAINST MODERATE MUSLIM WHO DO NOT SUPPORT TERRORISM ONLY THOSE TERRORISM WHICH IS GIFTED BY AMERICANS LIKE ISIL , TALIBAN , AL-QUIDA AND OTHER ISLAMIC TERRORISM AND LATER FUNDED BY PAKISTHAN AND MUSLIM COUNTRIES WHICH IS THREAT TO INDIA MUST BE COMPLETELY WIPED OUT. THOUGH LTTE EARLIER TRAINED AL-QUIDA FOR SUICIDE BOMBING IN RETURN AL-QUIDA GAVE MONEY AS LTTE WAS FACING BAN, IN INDIA AND WORLDWIDE.ONE SHOULD NOT LOOK AT THOSE CASES. I AM ALSO NOT AGAINST SINHALESE. IN MY OPINION THE RECENT WITHDRAWAL OF AMERICAN AND BRITISH SOLDIERS FROM AFGHANISTHAN WILL LATER PROVE DANGEROUS FOR INDIA.. ALSO SRILANKA BECOMING FRIENDLY WITH IRAN , INDIA , CHINA , INDIA MUST THINK ABOUT ITS POLICY IN FIGHT AGAINST TERRORISM. INDIA SHOULD GIFT LTTE TO SAVE HINDUISM , INDIA AND THE WORLD FROM THE EVILS OF ISLAMIC TERRORISM . A EELAM NATION WITH LTTE IN CHARGE IS GOOD FOR INDIA AND UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. SO MR MODIJI KINDLY LIFT BAN ON LTTE OF SRILANKA SO THEY CAN GET EELAM AND LATER ON TACKLE ISLAMIC TERRORISM SPREAD ACROSS THE WORLD. a humble request to save the world

  4. A SMALL POPULATION OF JUST ABOUT 3 MILLION TAMIL POPULATION CAN NEVER BE A THREAT TO INDIA , INDIA SHOULD REMEMBER THAT BEING A SUPERPOWER INDIA SHOULD HAVE THAT MUCH BRAINS , IT WILL BE A FRIENDLY HINDU TAMIL NATION COUNTERING PAKISTHAN , OTHER MUSLIM COUNTRIES AND CHINAS SUPREMECY IN INDIAN OCEAN

  5. WITH THE MUSLIM EXTREMIST THREAT TO EUROPE AND LTTE BAN BEING REMOVED IN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES , THOUGH ASSETS TEMPORARY FRIEZED. WITH ISLAMIC TERRORISM ALL AROUND US INDIA SHOULD ALSO LIFT BAN ON LTTE COMPLETELY.

  6. IED BLAST INJURES 3 MILITARY PERSONNELS IN BARAMULLA KASHMIR. THE MAIN RESON FOR SUCH ATTTACKS IS PERVEZ MUSHARRAF EVEN DANGER THAN DAWOOD, AND OTHER TERRORIST ORGANISATION LEADERS , PERVEZ MUSHARRAF AFTER MANY YEARS OF HIBERNATION AS RETURNED TO PAKISTHAN AND AFTER IS RETURN TO PAKISTHAN ALL SUCH PLANNED ATTACKS ON BORDER AND RECENT IED BLAST. I AM STILL REQUESTING NARENDRA MODIJI TO LIFT BAN ON LTTE OF SRILANKA THOUGH DEFEATED AND DEFUNCT.

  7. NOSTRADAMUS PROPHECIES MAN FROM THE EAST WILL COME OUT OF IS SEAT HE WILL STRIKE EVERYONE WITH IS ROD WITH THE BATTLE RAGING IN MIDDLE EAST HE WILL BURN THE CITIES OF MIDDLE EAST TP PIECES. IT APPEARS ABOUT LTTE CHIEF PRABHAKARAN WHOS DEAD BODY NOT SHOWN ONLY IS PHOTO SHOWN TO WORLD HE IS DEAD BUT IS DEATH IS STILL A MYSTERY . THE LTTE CHIEF ALONG WITH LTTE HAD KILLED MANY MUSLIMS BURNED ENTIRE MUSLIM VILLAGES , IS THIS PROPHECY SUITING HIM OR SOME OTHER LTTE LEADER WHO WILL ARRIVE TO SAVE HUMANITY AND EUROPE FROM THE CLUTCHES OF ISLAMIC TERRORISM

  8. NOSTRADAMUS PROPHECIES BY ERIKA CHEETHAM. IF ONE OBSERVES CENTURY TWO QUITRAIN NO 30 IT CLEARLY MENTIONS ABOUT ISIL CHIEF BAGDADI
    A man who revives the infernal gods of Hannibal, the terror of mankind.Never more horror nor the papers ( evertime bagdaidi using video to show how he kills is captors by knife) tell of worse in the past ,then will come to the romans through Babel( confusion around the world). last sentence clearly shows how bagdadi enters europe with is terror army.

  9. True. ISIS is a serious threat to us. The sooner the powers that be recognize it the better.

    But what exactly should we do about it? That is the question that needs an answer.

    In concrete terms what does establishing a credible deterrence against irregular warfare mean? Given the legal framework within which we operate, what kind of deterrent measures does the General have in his mind?

    An efficient intelligence network at the grass root level is part of the solution, to my mind. If our intelligence agencies are going to get a whiff of radicalization of some young lads only when a video goes viral showing them wearing ISIS T shirts, God save us!

    Ultimately, though, we have to fight a fierce, open, public and in-you- face battle against the Jihadist-Wahabi-Salafist thought, even if it seems politically incorrect and/or anti-secularist to some.

    And yes, we have to fight a battle against politicians who turn a Nelson’s eye to the growth of Jihadist organizations right under their noses, so as to keep their vote banks purring contentedly. Remember the Burdwan blast case and political attempts to hush up facts and destroy evidence?

  10. IF YOU SEE NOSTRADAMUS PROPHECIES IT CLEARLY MENTIONS A EASTERN LEADER WITH THREE WATER SIGNS WILL COME AND DESTROY ISLAMIC TERRORISM , INDIA TELLS HE IS FROM INDIA ,CHINA IS TELLING HE IS FROM CHINA , BUT IF YOU TYPE ON GOOGLE SEARCH ENGINE NOSTRADAMUS ON LTTE CHIEF VELLUPILLAI PRABHAKARAN YOU MIGHT COME CLOSER ,OR PROBABILY ANOTHER LTTE LEADER OR THE SAME ONE NAMED BEFORE. I THINK IF THE INDIAN GOVERNMENT LIFTS BAN ON LTTE , THE TAMIL DIOSPORIA WHICH IS SPREAD ACROSS THE GLOBE AND WHO ARE RICH WILL PROVIDE MONEY TO REVIVE THE LTTE MOVEMENT TO ESTABLISH A SEPERATE NATION FOR TAMILIANS IN NORTH EAST OF SRILANKA. THIS NATION ONCE IT IS CREATED AND ACCEPTED BY UNITED NATION WILL BE OPPOSED BY PAKISTHAN , IRAN , NORTH KOREA, SAUDI ARABIA, ALGERIA, CHINA, CUBA, OTHER COMMUNIST NATIONS AND MUSLIM WORLD. AS THIS CREATION OF A TAMIL NATION IN NORTH EAST OF INDIA WITH LTTE IN CHARGE WITH BACKING OF NARENDRA MODI WILL SIGNAL DEATH KNELL OF ISLAMIC RELIGION AND GLOBAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM.

  11. THE ISIS OF IRAQ IS LESSER THREAT TO INDIA, IF YOU SEE NOSTRADAMUS PROPHECIES A BLUE TURBAN LEADER ENTERS EUROPE THOUGH BAGDADI IS WEARING BLACK TURBAN SIMILAR TO COLOUR BLUE. AND TYPE NOSTRAMUS ON PRABHAKARAN LTTE LEADER , PROPHECIES OF NOSTRADAMUS ON INDIA. THOUGH ISLAM WILL RULE EUROPE, THEN A MAN FROM EAST WITH A ROD HITTING THE ENEMY , THE BATTLE IS CARRIED IN MIDDLE EAST ULTIMATELY ISLAM IS WIPED OUT BY THIS EASTERN LEADER . INDIAN CALL HIM TO BE FROM INDIA . CHINA TELL HE IS FROM CHINA. BUT THERE IS SURITY HE FROM CHINA OR INDIA . THIS EASTERN MASSIEH WILL COME FROM CHINA OR INDIA , EVEN BABA VENGA OR VANGA OF HUNGARY AS PROPHECISED ABOUT THIS EASTERN LEADER. THE TAMIL OF SRILANKA COMPARE PRABHAKARAN OF LTTE TO THE RECLUSIVE 10 CENTURY SHIA SAINT WHO FOUGHT AGAINST EVIL OF SUNNIS.

  12. INDIA SHOULD NOT JOIN NATO , THIS IS FIGHT BETWEEN EUROPEANS , AND MUSLIMS I MEAN CATHOLICS AND MUSLIM. INDIA SHOULD LIFT BAN ON LTTE . THE LTTE HUMAN BOMBS ARE A DEADLY WEAPON. I READ NOSTRADAMUS PROPHECIES . I TYPED GOOGLE TYPE NOSTRADAMUS ON LTTE CHIEF VELLUPILLAI PRABHAKARAN . THE WORLD NEEDS HINDUISM WITH ITS RICH YOGA KNOWLEDGE AND THE MODERN RESEARCH CARRIED BY SCIENTIST WILL MAKE THE WORLD A BEAUTIFUL PLACE . WITH NARENDRA MODI WHO WILL DEVELOP INDIA AND FINISH ISLAMIC TERRORISM . I REQUEST IF ANY OF DEFENCE PERSON OF INDIA IS READING THIS MESSAGE TO FORWARD MY SMALL LITTLE IDEA TO COUNTER ISLAMIC TERRORISM . ALL OTHER HINDU ORGANISATION AND LTTE BAN SHOULD BE LIFTED IMMEDIATELY. THE CONGRESS BANNED LTTE FOR 20 YEARS . LTTE NEEDS A BASE IN NORTH SRILANKA TO ATTACK PAKISTHAN AND OTHER ISLAMIC COUNTRIES IT WILL ACT AS BUFFER AGAINST ISLAMIC TERRORISM IN SOUTH ASIA.

  13. The West is a very bad learner. Its hubris as also the greed and lust of its decision and opinion makers stand in the way. The US “strategy” had been tried before. By Hitler in the Battle of Britain. We wait with bated breath for the day when the US will start bombing ISIS aka Al Qaeda aka Islam ghettos in Britain, France and New york. Al Qaeda was armed and trained by the US to make Islamic Warriors out of Wahabis nurtured as students (Taliban) in Saudi sponsored Madrassas throughout the World. The sole reason why Al Qaeda divorced ISIS is because ISIS has repudiated the loyalty demanded from Wahabis to the Guardians of Mecca and Medina i.e. the Saudi Crown. ISIS and many Wahabis now hold the Arab “Crowns” to be “haram’ and corrupt. In essence the enemy is the US, and its allies. i.e. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Pakistan i.e. Saudi-Wahabi (Sunni) Islam.

  14. We got to have a very relevant and effective security policy implemented on priority basis to deal with the increasing threat from these militant outfits. Bureaucrats and diplomats handling this subject will be effective only to a certain extent, and experts in defence and security affairs along with a very highly effective intelligence network must deal with this threat. Most important is that the government must be pro active and must authorize desired flexibility to the operators.

  15. WITH ISLAMIC COUNTRIES SURROUNDING INDIA LIKE AFGANISTHAN , PAKISTHAN, MALDIVES, BANGLADESH WITH JUST 10 PERCENT BENGALI HINDUS DOWN FROM 30 PERCENT , SRILANKAS MUSLIM POPULATION 9 TO 10 PERCENT CALLED MOORS . MALAYSIA, INDONESIA, AND INDIAS OWN MUSLIM POPULATION OF 15 TO 20 PERCENT IS A THREAT SIMILAR TO YAZIDHIS OF IRAQ. ACCORDING TO LATEST AMERICAN REPORTS LTTE OF SRILANKA THOUGH DEFUNCT AND DEFEATED IN SRILANKA ITS INTERNATIONAL NETWORK IS INTACT.. THE TAMIL DIOSPORIA SPREAD ACROSS THE WORLD IS STILL PROVIDING MONEY. INDIA SHOULD LIFT BAN ON LTTE TO COUNTER ISLAMIC TERRORISM SPREAD FROM NORTH AFRICA TO PAKISTHAN TO ABU SAYAF GROUP IN PHILLIPHINES. THE LTTE HUMAN BOMBS CAN BE LETHAL TO ISLAMIC TERRORISTS ONCE LTTE ESTABLISHES BASE IN NORTH EAST OF SRILANKA

  16. highly reflective article .Katoch ji is zillion percent right.Even if our politicians have 1/100000…n of his wisdom there would be no repetitions of 26/11`vacuum headed ones will need to learn from these.

  17. The Western countries headed by the US Hydra (NATO) play their games in the middle east. The American arms industry is well serviced by camel driving arabs. The Brits are follow dogs of the Americans. The Gremans are still washing away the sins of Hitler and havent found their feet as individual identity in Europe. The Russians thankfully are waking upto the the games people (NATO) play. The Chinese aim to challange the world in Asia and are on the way. The problem with India is that the politicians know nothing more than vote bank politics and becoming crorepatis with government funds(read tax payers). The babudom doesnt care a jack about this nation as long as their perks as safe and they keep ahead of the armed forces. The armed forces somnambulate because of weak generalship and lack of vision. What this nation lacks is BALLS in pure terms. If we had them we wouldnt be floundering in Kashmir, Naxalites and the North East. To appease a 13% population base we throw national security to the dogs. We as Indians are weak minded people who seek te easier path out of anything – thats why we are so corrupt and thats why a British trading company could conquer the sub-continent starting with about 6000 british mercenaries. What the General has said is right point blank …lets wake up before its too late.

  18. AS LONG AS THE AMERICANS AND THE WEST WHO PREACH HUMAN RIGHTS AND DEMOCRACY TO ALL SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGE THE GULF DESPOTIC MONARCHIES AIDED AND ABETTED BY RELIGOUS, POLICE AND ANCIENT BARBARIC LAWS THE WORLD WILL FACE STRIFE . THE SAME FATHERS AND SONS IN PRIVATE BOEING AND AIRBUSES GO TO SOUTH OF FRANCE TO WINE DINE AND ENJOY ENGLISH , FRENCH FLOOZIES , COME BACK AND ROBE THEIR OWN WIVES AND DAUGHTERS IN HIJAB AND CRUELLY TRAMPLE THE LOCAL POPULACE . . THE MAD MULLAHS AND MAULVIS PREACH JIHAD AND THE HOUSE OF SAUDS AND OTHER MONARCHIS FUND THE MADRASSAS , ISIS , AND OTHER TERROR GROUPS . THE MUSLIMS IN EUROPE WITH THEIR MADRASSAS ARE HELL BENT ON SLAUGHTERING THE WHITE MAN AND HIS DECADYANT CIVILSATION. IT IS FOR THE AMERICANS AND EUROPEONS TO COME BACK AS CRUSADERS , CONVERT BACK THE MUSLIM WORLD TO LIBERAL MODERN DEMOCRACIES , BY FORCE , WAR , OR COERCION . THE CHOICE IS LEFT TO THEM . WITH AMERICAN DEPENDANCE ON GULF OIL PRACTICALLY NIL AND NO GREAT STRATEGIC INTERSTS THE AMERICANS CAN CHOOSE THE HARD STICKWITH THEIR ALLIES .

  19. The Indian Establishment needs to make a BIG STRATEGIC DECISION-ie Bring the KSHATRIYAS [Armed Forces,Martial races etc ] into all major Decision making regarding Defence,Internal security,National Security & Even Foreign policy. Ever Since Lord Parshuram Destroyed the Kshatriyas over & over again,The Kshatriyas have been looked upon with suspicion in india.. Thus, Foreign Armies easily conquered india..The Trend continues even today & Armed Forces are kept out of almost all important Decision making regarding,Defence,Security etc & looked upon with suspicion..A NATION STATE needs Kshatriyas for Defence,War,Internal security etc…Remember,that only a true Kshatriya can Plan,anticipate problems,Execute & win wars with finesse..eg Late Field Marshal Sam Maneckshaw in the 1971 war.. Unfortunately,” Kaul boys “, Mercantile minded,Scheming,Manipulative,corrupt & incompetent generals have taken over the Indian Army…P.S. one has to just look at the CHOICES given by cadets at NDA,IMA,OTA etc..The Toppers are mostly going into ASC,Ordnance etc instead of Infantry,Armoured [ARMS ] as is the trend in War academies of USA,UK etc.

  20. The SOLE reason that Al Qaeda has distanced itself from ISIS is because ISIS has repudiated one of the three Wahabi allegiances which is the allegiance to the Saudi Crown, the custodians of Mecca and Medina. Islam is going through one of its periodic “purifications” as Wahabis repudiate the various Arab crowns for being corrupt and “haram”. But unlike previous such nodes of History such as the “Mahdi” and so on, this time a round they are very powerful and technologically adequate to take on their detractors. This is a comment in addition to my previous observation. India has been in the cross-hairs of Islam since before the US armed and trained Al Qaeda to aim and fire Taliban (students) raised to Wahabism in Saudi sponsored and funded mosques world-wide. Islam carried out the ethnic cleansing of Kashmir in 1990 and recently proved the potency of its call-to-arms with the All India Moslem Riots of Ramzan 2012. India’s security establishment has been bracing for an escalation ever since the US planned to do its customary thing of “cut and run” from Afghanistan after fanning the embers of Islam to its own advantage. (US strategy which is formulated by policy and decision makers on various (mainly Islamic) pay rolls always trumps US propaganda, tactics and operations designed to appease vote fodder as in the bombing of Belgrade and the invasion of Iraq) It is fortunate that India has a strong BJP Government that is committed to the rule of law rather than to appeasing the Sharia as was the Congress Party that took after the Western “Liberal”, “Secular”, “Democracies” in fomenting Islam (an alien Imperium masquerading as a religion) within the borders. However, decades of Congress rule and the “reservations” and corruption policies have taken their toll and left India very weakened. Islam knows this. There is a convergence right now with a weakened India, a cut-and-run by the US from Afghanistan and a proven wide spread presence of a Moslem Army within India.

  21. Celebrity fools (like diplmats,politicians or news mongers in denial) are groomed to be fools. As is Indian soil, Indian populace is also very much fertile and capable of breeding ISIS/AQ aspirants in large number. There could be so many unexplored, unrecorded pockets of population which could rise simultaneously to pose dangers in India.
    Noise made over Ishrat case has dented our preventive capabilities, physical & psychological, to large extent.

  22. this article is best example of enmity of kafir (indian hindu) for islam and Quran but how Allah makes kafirs miserable condtion best example is these indian hinduuos are using pure jihadi quranic word “shaheed” for their dead soldiers.lol>hindusm was not not able to produce 1 word for their dead soldiers.jiihad meaning in Quran to fight with aggressors to safe lifes of muslims. Allah say don’t feel fear from death next life is much better this present life>indian army raped thousands innocent kashmries girlsssssss and even old womens and killed their men so jihad is bad?

      • Yazkhan, your thoughts are hateful, poisonous, and debasing of a human being. Is this what Islam teaches you? How long are you and your likes are going to take a stone age tribal rules for fighting and call it a religion. It is dark, inhumane and dead end and that is the reason for all the senseless violence and terrorism in the muslim world. The bright and the intellectuals were the Sufis who have been systematically driven out leaving a black hole of nothingness where people like you reside.

    • Yazkhan before 3000 years of Islam The importance of being Martyr or being Shahid is told in Bhagavad Gita the sacred text of Hinduism.If you read articles by Pakistani officers,you will come to know even art of creating Intelligence department or officers is mentioned in Hindu mythology much before Greek statecraft leave alone Islamic era..Since your knowledge of your own religion is Limited as can be judged by your thoughts which you have expressed. Hence you can not be expected to have knowledge of other religion. Abhay Sawant
