LOOT: SPECIAL GIFT FOR MUSLIMS FROM 'ALLAH'

In this post, all the verse of Quran have been taken from the translation rendered by 'Hilali and Khan' and it is said to be the most widely circulated translation in the world. 

According to पतंजलि योगसूत्र, one of the golden rules is not to take what is not rightfully yours. This is called अस्तेय. The वैदिक/सनातन धर्म has had a hoary tradition on these lines. It talks of rising above such illusory gains.

Islam has no such tradition of योग so that one can rise above the pleasure of the senses. So different is Islam from वैदिक/सनातन धर्म that the eighth chapter of Quran is dedicated to justification of looting from other religions. The name of the chapter is Anfal or अन्फाल, which means loot of war. The title should be sufficient for an alert and balanced mind that if one of the longest chapters is devoted to such a topic, what kind of ideology can it preach. In this post, we will find how Jihad, killing of others, terrorizing the others and looting of others is justified.

To understand the post, it is better to get acquainted with a few Islamic words.

Mushrik - It means those who consider any one else as God, except Allah. The word 'shirk' or शिर्क means participation and its verb is shirkat or शिरकत. Thus, all those who worship the supreme creator by any other name like ब्रह्म, ब्रह्मा, शिव, कृष्ण, राम, दुर्गा, विष्णु, अय्यप्पा, मुरुगन, Jesus, Jehova or any other name are Mushrik. This word is primarily used to represent those who are involved in मूर्तिपूजा which is called 'बुत परस्ती' in Islam. Thus all Hindus and Buddhists are mushrik. In fact, the word बुत has its origins in the word बुद्ध because of the large carvings of Buddh which were revered by Buddhists.

'Ahle Kitaab - As compared to Mushriks, the people of Judeo-Christian origin are better placed. They are referred to as 'people of the book' or 'अहले किताब'. This preferential treatment to them is because the founder of Islam, Mohammad, borrowed generously from old testament and new testament. 

Kuffar - It is a term which includes Mushrik as well as people of the book. Singular of Kuffaar is Kaafir or काफिर.

Aayat - Verses of Quran. Hindi - आयत, singular -Aaya or आया.


Anfal - War booty, loot, also called ग़नीमत or Ghanimat.

Like evangelists, whom Gandhi ji rightly called 'vendors of goods', Islamists have also found out that Hindus have lost their intellectual agility and can be deceived by using the right kind of phrases and face expression. The days Hindus become intellectually active and courageous, they will not only be able to stem the tide of predatory creeds but will be able to save those poor souls who have been converted to Islam. Muslims all over the world and especially on our sub continent, are victims because they have been uprooted from their ancestral faith and converted to Islam, either with sword or some other inducement.


Islam was started by a seventh century Godman called Muhammad bin Abdullah (Muhammad son of Abdullah).

In the year 695 A.D., at 25, he had married a 40 years old wealthy and successful business lady named Khadija. This alliance was economically very fruitful for Muhammad. For next 25 years he did not have to worry about earning a livlihood. 
She died after 25 years and now Muhammad had to take care of his daily needs. He married a very old lady named Sauda to take care of his and Khadija's children and married six years old Aisha within a year of demise of Khadija. Since he had proclaimed himself to be a Godman, Allah obligingly 'revealed' the Surah 8 to take care of the monetary angle of his 'prophet'.


The gist of this chapter is that Allah wants his latest courier and his followers to raid, loot, kill and rape innocent persons and share the booty among themselves. The only fault of these innocents is that they do not follow the self styled 'prophet'. 


It so happened that Muhammad and his 305 followers had raided a Caravan. The caravan belonged to Mecca and its leader had been alerted about the evil designs of Muhammad and his cronies. He sent a message for reinforcements to protect the precious Caravan from the robbery, changed the route and reached Mecca safely. The raiding party of Muslims encountered the reinforcements. The meccans outnumbered the Muslims but were reluctant to fight as they felt that Muhammad and his men were their relatives. The Muslims did not have any such qualms and they attacked with their full might and defeated the Meccans. Some of the chiefs of Mecca were killed and the others left the field, leaving their belongings behind. It was a poor consolation for the war hungry Muslims so they started quibbling among themselves for the distribution. It was at this opportune time that Allah's latest instalment of instructions was 'revealed' through Muhammad.


The first verse is :

They ask you (O Muhammad SAW) about the spoils of war. Say: "The spoils are for Allah and the Messenger." So fear Allah and adjust all matters of difference among you, and obey Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad SAW), if you are believers.

With this verse, Allah sanctioned the muslims to kill and loot all those who did not believe in Allah. The chapter has 75 verses in which 'Allah' uses a colourful vocabulary to denounce the followers of any other faith. I will quote some of these verses here.

And (remember) when Allah promised you (Muslims) one of the two parties (of the enemy i.e. either the army or the caravan) that it should be yours, you wished that the one not armed (the caravan) should be yours, but Allah willed to justify the truth by His Words and to cut off the roots of the disbelievers (i.e. in the battle of Badr).

In the verse 12 of this chapter, Allah commands to behead the Kaafirs and cause TERROR in their hearts.

(Remember) when your Lord inspired the angels, "Verily, I am with you, so keep firm those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes."

In the next verse, the reason for the terrorist activity is clarified

This is because they defied and disobeyed Allah and His Messenger. And whoever defies and disobeys Allah and His Messenger, then verily, Allah is Severe in punishment.

Then Allah warns all non Muslims in verse 38:

Say to those who have disbelieved, if they cease (from disbelief) their past will be forgiven. But if they return (thereto), then the examples of those (punished) before them have already preceded (as a warning).

In next verse, Allah gives the command to fight till all non Muslims are finished off.

And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allah) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allah Alone [in the whole of the world]. But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allah), then certainly, Allah is All-Seer of what they do.

Then the cat comes out of the bag in verse 41, where Allah asks for 20% in the robbery:

And know that whatever of war-booty that you may gain, verily one-fifth (1/5th) of it is assigned to Allah, and to the Messenger, and to the near relatives [of the Messenger (Muhammad SAW)], (and also) the orphans, Al-Masakin (the poor) and the wayfarer, if you have believed in Allah and in that which We sent down to Our slave (Muhammad SAW) on the Day of criterion (between right and wrong), the Day when the two forces met (the battle of Badr) - And Allah is Able to do all things.

Badr is the name of the place where this confrontation took place. Very few people know that the attack on Kargil was code named Al-Badr, taking inspiration from this robbery raid. Allah displays his anger on disbelievers. 
Quran - Chapter 8, verse 55

Verily, The worst of moving (living) creatures before Allah are those who disbelieve, - so they shall not believe.

Thus, Allah considers all those to be worst of creatures, who do not believe in ayats of Quran. So, except Muslims all are detested by Allah.

If Allah dislikes them then how should the faithfuls treat them. It is clearly explained. [8:57]

So if you gain the mastery over them in war, punish them severely in order to disperse those who are behind them, so that they may learn a lesson. 

Hindi rendering is more clear

तो अगर वह लड़ाई में तुम्हारे हाथे चढ़ जाएँ तो (ऐसी सख्त गोश्माली दो कि) उनके साथ साथ उन लोगों का तो अगर वह लड़ाई में तुम्हारे हत्थे चढ़ जाएं तो (ऐसी सजा दो की) उनके साथ उन लोगों को भी तितिर बितिर कर दो जो उन के पुश्त पर हो ताकि ये इबरत हासिल करें 

Allah really hates Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains, Zorashtrians, Jews and Christians. So, [8:59]

And let not those who disbelieve think that they can outstrip (escape from the punishment). Verily, they will never be able to save themselves (from Allah's Punishment).

Ajmal Kasab or Afzal Guru became terrorists because [8:60]

Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom Allah doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of Allah, shall be repaid unto you, and ye shall not be treated unjustly.

The above statement gives us an idea as to why radical Islamists are never short of money. 

We keep on hearing the word Jihad. Here is its true meaning [8:65]

ऐ रसूल तुम मोमिनीन को जिहाद के वास्ते आमादा करो (वह घबराए नहीं ख़ुदा उनसे वायदा करता है कि) अगर तुम लोगों में के साबित क़दम रहने वाले बीस भी होगें तो वह दो सौ (काफिरों) पर ग़ालिब आ जायेगे और अगर तुम लोगों में से साबित कदम रहने वालों सौ होगें तो हज़ार (काफिरों) पर ग़ालिब आ जाएँगें इस सबब से कि ये लोग ना समझ हैं  

When the Muslims had won the confrontation, they held about 50 Meccans as captives so that more money could be earned in the form of ransom (if this is not gangsterism, what is?). Out of these poor captives were two men named An-Nazr and Ukba, who used to tease Muhammad by saying that he was not a prophet. Now they were at the mercy of Muhammad. An-Nazr was immediately beheaded by Ali on command of Muhammad (so much for freedom of expression and mercy). Ukba asked Muhammad as to why was he being executed, Muhammad replied

Because of your enmity to Allah and his prophet

To this Ukba pleaded:

And my little girl! who will take care of her?

Muhammad replied

Hell-fire!

And Ukba was cut into pieces.
Then Muhammad said to the corpse of the man:

I give thanks unto the Lord that hath slain thee, and comforted mine eyes thereby.

Life of Mahomet by William Muir, pp 229,230

The ever obliging Allah sent the justification of this cold blooded murder immediately. Allah, through his prophet has a desire for slaughter of Kuffar. Thus they have to be killed.[8:67]

It is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war (and free them with ransom) until he had made a great slaughter (among his enemies) in the land. You desire the good of this world (i.e. the money of ransom for freeing the captives), but Allah desires (for you) the Hereafter. And Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise. 

Then in verse 69, the loot money is given sanction, making it lawful for Muslims.

So enjoy what you have gotten of booty in war, lawful and good, and be afraid of Allah. Certainly, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

After declaring that loot is a good deed for Muslims and 20% of it is for 'Allah', he goes on to define the real Muslims in verses 72 - 75:

जिन लोगों ने ईमान क़ुबूल किया और हिजरत की और अपने अपने जान माल से ख़ुदा की राह में जिहाद किया और जिन लोगों ने (हिजरत करने वालों को जगह दी और हर (तरह) उनकी ख़बर गीरी (मदद) की यही लोग एक दूसरे के (बाहम) सरपरस्त दोस्त हैं और जिन लोगों ने ईमान क़ुबूल किया और हिजरत नहीं की तो तुम लोगों को उनकी सरपरस्ती से कुछ सरोकार नहीं-यहाँ तक कि वह हिजरत एख्तियार करें और (हॉ) मगर दीनी अम्र में तुम से मदद के ख्वाहॉ हो तो तुम पर (उनकी मदद करना लाज़िम व वाजिब है मगर उन लोगों के मुक़ाबले में (नहीं) जिनमें और तुममें बाहम (सुलह का) एहदो पैमान है और जो कुछ तुम करते हो ख़ुदा (सबको) देख रहा है...और जो लोग काफ़िर हैं वह भी (बाहम) एक दूसरे के सरपरस्त हैं अगर तुम (इस तरह) वायदा न करोगे तो रूए ज़मीन पर फ़ितना (फ़साद) बरपा हो जाएगा और बड़ा फ़साद होगा...और जिन लोगों ने ईमान क़ुबूल किया और हिजरत की और ख़ुदा की राह में लड़े भिड़े और जिन लोगों ने (ऐसे नाज़ुक वक्त में मुहाजिरीन को जगह ही और उनकी हर तरह ख़बरगीरी (मदद) की यही लोग सच्चे ईमानदार हैं उन्हीं के वास्ते मग़फिरत और इज्ज़त व आबरु वाली रोज़ी है...और जिन लोगों ने (सुलह हुदैबिया के) बाद ईमान क़ुबूल किया और हिजरत की और तुम्हारे साथ मिलकर जिहाद किया वह लोग भी तुम्हीं में से हैं और साहबाने क़राबत ख़ुदा की किताब में बाहम एक दूसरे के (बनिस्बत औरों के) ज्यादा हक़दार हैं बेशक ख़ुदा हर चीज़ से ख़ूब वाक़िफ हैं

Thus Jihad is the best duty of a Muslims. This is the true Islam and true Muhammad.

DARK SIDE OF SUFISM

This is a guest post from Sh. Ram Ohri, IPS (Retd)

            A Reappraisal of  the Role of  Sufis Working as Missionaries of Islam

For centuries the Sufi creed and Sufi music have been tom tomed as great symbols of spiritualism and promoters of peace and harmony between the Hindus and the Muslims. The cleverly marketed concept of  Sufi spiritualism has been unquestioningly accepted as the hallmark of Hindu-Muslim unity.   It is time we studied the history of Sufis, tried to track the narrative of  their coming to India and analysed their explicit missionary role in promoting conversions to Islam.   More importantly, it needs to be assessed how did the Sufis conduct themselves during reckless killings and plunders by the Muslim invaders ?  Did they object to the senseless mass killings and try to prevent unremitting plunder of  Hindu temples and innocent masses?  Did the Sufis ever object to the capture of  helpless men and women as slaves and the use of  the latter as objects  of carnal pleasure ?  These are some of   the questions to which answers have to be found by every genuine student of  Indian history.  

Most Sufis came to  India either accompanying the invading armies of  Islamic marauders, or followed in the wake of  the sweeping conquests made by the soldiers of  Islam. At least the following four famous Sufis accompanied the Muslim armies which repetitively invaded India to attack the Hindu rulers, seize their kingdoms and riches and took recourse to extensive slaughtering of  the  commoners.  Almost all Sufi masters were silent spectators to the murderous mayhem and reckless plunder of  temples ands cities by the marauding hordes across the sub-continent.  Taking advantage of the fact that the Hindu masses are deeply steeped in spiritual tradition and mysticism, the Sufis used their mystic paradigm for applying sort of a healing balm on the defeated, bedegralled  and traumatized commoners with a view to converting them to the religion of the victors.  The following well-known Sufi masters came to India along with the invading Muslim armies which repetitively invaded India in wave after wave:

1. Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti of Ajmer had accompanied the army of Shihabuddin Ghori and finally settled down at Ajmer in the year 1233 A.D 
2.  Khawaja Qutubuddin came to Delhi in the year 1236 in the train of  Shihabuddin Ghori and stayed on to further the cause of  Islam. 
3.  Sheikh Faridudin came to Pattan (now in Pakistan) in the year 1265.
4. Sheikh Nizamuddin Auliya of  Dargah Hazrat Nizamuddin  came to Delhi in  the year 1335 accompanying a contingent of  the Muslim invaders.  

 Additionally,  the famous Sufi Shihabuddin Suhrawardy of  Baghdad was brought to India for carrying out the missionary work of conversions by Bahauddin Zakariya of  Multan several decades after the Hindu ruler had been defeated and the kingdom laid waste after repetitive plunder and manslaughter.  Like all Sufi masters, his main task was to apply the balm of spiritual unity on the traumatized Hindu population and then gradually persuade them to convert to Islam. Not a single Sufi, the so-called mystic saints, ever objected to the ongoing senseless manslaughter and reckless plunder, nor to the destruction of  temples, nor  for that matter to the ghoulish enslavement of  the so-called infidel men and women for sale in the bazaars of  Ghazni and Baghdad. Operating from the sidelines of spiritualism they even participated in the nitty-gritty of governance to help the Muslim rulers consolidate  their authority in the strife torn country. And significantly, their participation in the affairs of the State was not conditional upon the Muslim rulers acting in a just and even handed manner. On the contrary, the Sufis invariably tried to help the Sultans in following the path shown by the Prophet and the Shariah.  Another important objective of the spiritual and mystic preachings of the Sufi masters was to blunt the edge of Hindu resistance and prevent them from  taking up arms to defend their hearth and home, their motherland and their faith, through the façade of peace and religious harmony. The Naqashbandi Sufis had very close relations with Jahangir and Aurangzeb.    The well known Sufi Saint of  Punjab, Ahmad Sirhindi (Mujadid) of  the Naqashbandi order (1564-1634)  held that the execution of  the Sikh leader Guru Arjun Dev  by Jehangir was a great Islamic victory.  He believed and openly proclaimed that Islam and Hinduism were antithesis of  each other and therefore could not co-exist.   Even  the Chishti Sufi, Miyan Mir, who had been a friend of Guru Arjun Dev, later on  turned his back on the Sikh Guru when the latter was arrested by Jahangir and sent  for execution

It may be recalled that the great Sufi master of the eleventh century, Al Qushairi             (A.D.1072) had unambiguously declared that there was no discord between the aims of the Sufi ‘haqiqa’ and the aims of  the Sharia.  The definition given by Al Hujwiri should be able to quell any doubt about the commitment of Sufis in upholding the supremacy of the Islamic faith over all other religions.  That dogma has been the key component of  the philosophy of  Sufism not only in India, but across the world     - from India to Hispania (i.e., the Spain).  The great Sufi master, Al Hujwiri, laid down the golden rule that the words “there is no god save Allah” are the ultimate Truth, and the words “Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah” are the indisputable Law for all Sufis. In other words, the Sufism and the ulema represent the same  two aspects of the Islamic faith which are universally accepted and obeyed by all Muslims.  By definition therefore Sufi masters could be no exception. The renowned ninth century Sufi master, Al Junaid, also known as “the Sheikh of the Way”, and widely revered as the spiritual ancestor of  Sufi faith, had categorically proclaimed that for Sufis “All the mystic paths are barred, except to him who followeth in the footsteps of the Messenger (i.e., Prophet Muhammad)  [Source:  Martin Lings, What is Sufism, George Allen & Unwin Ltd, London, 1975, p.101].

As pointed out by Reynold A. Nicholson in the Preface to the famous tome,  ‘Kashaf al Mahjub’ (Taj & Co., Delhi, 1982).  “no sufis, not even those who have attained the highest degree of  holiness, are exempt from the obligation of  obeying the religious law”.  In fact, the famous tome, ‘Kashaf al Mahjub’ written by Ali bin Al-Hujwiri, who was also known as Data Ganj Baksh, was widely regarded as the grammar of  Sufi thought and practice.   Most Sufis have invariably drawn on the contents of this treatise for preaching the sufi thought ( also known as sufi silsilas). As already stated, on page 140 of  Kashaf al Mahjub Al Hujwiri loudly proclaims that “the words there is no God save Allah are Truth, and the words Muhammed is the Apostle of  Allah”  are the indisputable Law.   

K.A. Nizami in his celebrated book, The Life and Times of  Shaikh Nizamuddin Auliya (Idarah-I Adabiyat-i-Delhi, Delhi) has stated that the Auliya openly used to  say  that “what the ulama seek to achieve through speech, we achieve by our behaviour.” 

 The Auliya was a firm believer in the need for  unquestioned  obedience of every Muslim, every Sufi,  to the dictates of the ulema.  According to K.A. Nizami, another Sufi saint Jamal Qiwamu’d-din wrote that though he had been associated  with the Shaikh Nizamuddin Auliya for years, “but never did he find him missing a single sunnat …… ”.

The well known authority on Sufism,  S.A.A. Rizvi has recorded in his book, ‘A History of  Sufism in India’  that Nizamuddin Auliya used to unhesitatingly accept enormous gifts given to him by  Khusraw Barwar which implied that the Auliya was unconcerned with the source of  the gift, provided it was paid in cash. Yet the Auliya was a firm believer in the need for a Muslim’s unquestioned loyalty and obedience to the ulema.  As reiterated by K.A. Nizami, Auliya used to preach that the unbeliever is the doomed denizen of  Hell.  In his khutba he would leave no one in doubt that  Allah has created Paradise for the Believers and Hell for the infidels “in order to repay the wicked for what they have done”.   It has been categorically stated on page 161 in the famous treatise, Fawaid al-Fuad, translated by Bruce B. Lawrence (Paulist Press, New York, 1992)  that  the Auliya confirmed  on the authority of  the great Islamic jurist, Imam Abu Hanifa, that the perdition of  the unbelievers is certain and that Hell is the only abode for them, even if  they agreed to confess total loyalty to Allah on the Day of Judgment.   

In the above mentioned treatise on Sufi philosphy, Fuwaid al-Fuad,  a very interesting instance of  enslaving the kaffir Hindus for monetary gain has been cited which shows how another Sufi, Shayakh Ali Sijzi, provided financial assistance to one of his dervishes to participate in the lucrative slave trade. He had advised the dervish that he should take “these slaves to Ghazni, where the potential for profit is still greater”.  And it was confirmed by Nizamuddin Auliya that “the Dervish obeyed”.  Obviously therefore, neither spiritual ethics and nor justice to all, including the infidels, were the strong points of  Sufi saints.

If  the narrative of  the preachings  and acts of  Khawaja Moinuddin Chishti of Ajmer are taken as indication of  his religious philosophy and deeds, he emerges as a sufi master who nursed a deep hatred against the infidel Hindus and showed utter contempt for  their religious beliefs. As elaborated by S.S.A. Rizvi in ‘A History of Sufism in India, Vol. 1 (Munshiram Manoharlal, 1978, p. 117),  there is a reference in the book, Jawahar-i- Faridi,  to the fact that  when Moinuddin Chishti reached near the Annasagar Lake at Ajmer, where a number of holy shrines of  Hindus were located, he slaughtered a cow and cooked a beef  kebab at the sacred place surrounded by many temples. It is further claimed in Jawahar-i-Faridi that the Khwaja had dried the 2 holy lakes of Annasagar and Pansela by the magical heat of  Islamic spiritual power. He is even stated to have made the idol of the Hindu temple near Annasagar  recite the Kalma. The Khwaja had a burning desire to destroy the rule of the brave Rajput king, Prithviraj Chauhan, so much so that he ascribed the victory of Muhammad Ghori in the battle of  Tarain entirely to his own spiritual prowess and declared that “We have seized Pithaura alive and handed him over to the army of  Islam”. [Source: Siyar’l Auliya, cited by Rizvi on page 116 of  ‘A History of Sufism in India’].

Throughout the Muslim rule all Sufis enjoyed full confidence, royal favour and patronage of  the cruel Muslim rulers. Though foolishly accepted as “secular”  by  most Hindus seeking spiritual solace after being battered, bruised and marginalised, almost all Sufi saints dogmatically followed the commandments contained in the Quran, the Hadith and Sharia. Historians have recorded that many Sufi saints had accompanied armies of the Muslim invaders to use their spiritual powers in furtherance of  Islam’s conquests. Not one of them raised even a little finger to forbid slaughter of the innocents, nor did they question the imposition of jiziya by Muslim rulers. In fact, most of them guided the

Muslim rulers in carrying forward their mission of  conquest and conversion by furthering their campaigns of  plundering the wealth of Hindus of which many Sufis willingly partook  share. It was almost a taboo for Sufis, the so-called saints,  to accept a Hindu ascending the throne of  any kingdom during the heydays of  the Muslim rule. . In an example narrated by S.A.A. Rizvi on page 37 of  his well researched book, The Wonder That Was India (Vol.II, Rupa & Co, 1993, New Delhi)  it is pointed out that when the powerful Bengali warrior, king Ganesha, captured power in Bengal in the year 1415 A.D., Ibrahim Shah Sharqi, attacked his kingdom at the request of outraged ulema and numerous Sufis of  Bengal. In the ensuing strife, the leading Sufi of Bengal, Nur Qutb-i-Alam, interceded and secured a political agreement to the benefit of  the Muslim community and satisfaction of Sufis.  Under dire threat King Ganesha was forced to abdicate his throne in favour of  his 12 years old son, Jadu, who was converted to Islam and proclaimed as Sultan Jalaluddin  -   to the satisfaction of the Sufi masters. Similarly Sultan Ahmed Shah of Gujarat (1411-42), though a practitioner of  Sufi philosophy, was a diehard iconoclast who took delight in destroying temples, as stated in the same tome,  by S.A.A. Rizvi.  The Sultan also used to force the Rajput chieftains to marry their daughters to him so that they would become outcastes in their own community.  And the endgame of the Sultan could as well be that perhaps some of  the outcaste Rajputs might then opt to become Muslims.  

Unfortunately due to relentless colonization of the Hindu mind during 1000 years long oppressive Muslim rule, the Hindu masses till date have failed to realize that the so-called Sufi philosophy of  religious harmony is a one-way street.   This trend of Hindus praying at tombs and dargahs has been nurtured by the strong undercurrent of  belief in spiritualism among Hindu masses, even educated classes. That is the crux of the matter.  Deeply steeped in their traditional belief in spirituality and mysticism, the Hindus have developed the custom of  visiting dargahs and continue to  pray at the tombs of  Sufis.  No Muslim, nor any Sufi, has ever agreed to worship in a  Hindu temple, nor make obeisance before the images of  Hindu Gods and Godesses. For them it would be an act of  grossest sacrilege and unacceptable  violation of  the basic tenets of  Sufism.   That is the truth about the Sufi saints and their philosophy of inter-religious harmony.

CRIMINALS CALLED SUFIS - MUHAMMAD GHAUS

One of the most sincere and honest historians of our country, Shri Sita Ram Goel has catalogued about 2,000 temples (Hindu temples: What happened to them - 2) demolished in our country by Islamic monsters to erect Mosques on them. He acknowledges that it is a partial list. After listing the attacks by Islamic monsters on Gujarat, this is what he has to say about the Hindus.

The only conclusion that can be drawn from the evidence is that either the Hindus of Gujarat had a very short memory or that they did not understand at all the inspiration at the back of these invasions. The temple of Somnath which stood, after the invasion of Mahmûd of Ghazni in AD 1026, as a grim reminder of the character of Islam, had also failed to teach them any worthwhile lesson. Nor did they visualize that the Muslim settlements in their midst could play a role other than that of carrying on trade and commerce.

The foreign merchants turned Muslims had continued to do business and amass wealth as in the earlier days. But the leadership in the Muslim settlements had now passed into the hands of the missionaries of Islam known as Sufis, Walîs, Dirvishes and by several other high-sounding names. The sole occupation of these missionaries was to see the frontiers of Dãr al-Islãm extend towards Gujarat. All Muslims in Gujarat were now expected to serve as the eyes and ears of the Caliphate which had started on a career of imperialist aggression in all directions. Gujarat had had a taste of this aggression earlier than any other part of India. As the armies of Islam marched towards the land frontiers of India in Makran and Seistan, Indian ports on the West Coast became targets for the newly created Islamic navy. 

My focus is on two points in this conclusion. Firstly, that it applies to the Hindus all over our country. They have become so moronic that they are unable to see the real face of this creed. Secondly, the inherent good nature of Hindus has turned them into morons who try to paint a 'saintly' image of Sufis. 

As rightly said by Sh. Sita Ram Goel, the bigots, who are nowadays called sufis had a fancy for long and fancy names. Look at the full name of a sufi 'saint' called Muhammad Ghaus. It is

रैसुल्कामेलीन सुल्तानुल औलिया गॉस उल आलम ख्वाजा हाजी हमीदुद्दीन बिन खातीरुद्दीन अत्तारियुल शत्तारियुल उर्फ़ हज़रात मोहम्मद गॉस ग्वालिअरी  (RAISULKAMELIN SULTANUL AULIA GAUS UL AALAM KHWAZA HAJI HAMMIDUDDIN BIN KHATIRUDDIN ATTARIYUL SHATTARIYUL Urf Hazrat Mohammed Gaus Gwaliory).

Contrast them with the धार्मिक saints like गौतम बुद्ध, महावीर, नामदेव, तुकाराम, गुरु रामदास, गुरु नानक, कबीर, तुलसीदास. I can still add a few names, and even then, the list will be shorter,  then the name of a single sufi windbag. 

The sufis had to rely on such fancy names to hide the hollowness of their creed.

True to the character of Sufis, this one was living in Gwalior fort and was providing inside information to Babur to attack the fort and establish Islam in the hitherto peaceful Gwalior. For his treachery to those who had allowed him to stay in Gwalior, and service to Babur, he has been mentioned in the memoirs of Babar i.e. Babarnama. That was in year 1527. 

It is time we started telling the truth to one and all, while promoting the graves of these persons, which are sitting on demolished temples.

RAPING AND KILLING HINDUS - ISLAMIC STYLE

This is one of the most heart rending letters written by victims on their helplessness. This letter was written by the women of Malabar about five months after the moplah riots had started by the muslim moplah community of Malabar, Kerala. These riots started on 1st of August, 1921, exactly one year after the death of Sh. Bal Gangadhar Tilak. After the death of Tilak, M.K. Gandhi had acquired prominence in Congress and along with the notorious Ali brothers had started what is known as Khilafat movement. One of the promises made at the start of the movement was 'self rule' in one year. And exactly after one year, these riots broke out. To know why this movement was anti national, pro British, anti muslims and anti Hindu, read about the reality of the khilafat movement.

The moplah muslims, according to the contemporary news reports, started an orgy of loot, murder and rapine on Hindus. What is ironic is that the word 'moplah' means son-in-law in Malayalam. The reason for the name of the community is that the muslim traders came from Arab in eighth century and settled in Kerala. With time, they married the local women and became permanent settlers there. Hence the name. For them self rule meant rule of Islam and for Islam all those who are not muslims are kafir (काफ़िर) . They are either to be killed or converted to Islam. Their wives, children and properties belong to the killer of 'kafirs'.

It was in this background, the terrible riots took place. Here is the petition which the women of Malabar sent to the 'countess of reading'.

To
Her Gracious Excellency
THE COUNTESS OF READING,
Delhi.

The humble memorial of the bereaved and sorrow stricken women of Malabar.

May it please your gracious and compassionate ladyship.

We, the Hindu women of Malabar of varying ranks and stations in life who have recently been overwhelmed by the tremendous catastrophe known as the Moplah rebellion, take the liberty to supplicate your Ladyship for sympathy and succour.

2. Your Ladyship is doubtless aware that though our unhappy district has witnessed many Moplah outbreaks in the course of the last one hundred years, the present rebellion is unexampled in its magnitude as well as unprecedented in its ferocity. But it is possible that your ladyship is not fully appraised of all the horrors and atrocities perpetrated by the fiendish rebels ;of the many wells and tanks filled up with the mutilated, but often only half dead bodies of our nearest and dearest ones who refused to abandon the faith of our fathers;

of pregnant women cut to pieces and left on the roadsides and in the jungles, with the unborn babe protruding from the mangled corpse ;

of our innocent and helpless children torn from our arms and done to death before our eyes

and of our husbands and fathers tortured, flayed and burnt alive ;

of our hapless sisters forcibly carried away from the midst of kith and kin and subjected to every shame and outrage which the vile and brutal imagination of these inhuman hell-hounds could conceive of ;

of thousands of our homesteads reduced to cinder- mounds out of sheer savagery and a wanton spirit of destruction ;

of our places of worship desecrated and destroyed

and of the images of the deity shamefully insulted by putting the entrails of slaughtered cows where flower garlands used to lie.

or else smashed to pieces ;

of the wholesale looting of hard earned wealth of generations reducing many who were formerly rich and prosperous to publicly beg for a piece or two in the streets of Calicut, to buy salt or chilly or betel-leaf — rice being mercifully provided by the various relief agencies. These are not fables.

The wells full of rotting skeletons, the ruins which once were our dear homes, the heaps of stones which once were our places of worship — these are still here to attest to the truth. The cries of our murdered children in their death agonies are still ringing in our ears and will continue to haunt our memory till death brings us peace. We remember how driven out of our native hamlets we wandered starving and naked in the jungles and forests. We remember how we choked and stifled our babies' cries lest the sound should betray our hiding places to our relentless pursuers.

We still vividly realise the moral and spiritual agony that thousand of us passed through when we were forcibly converted into the faith professed by these blood thirsty miscreants ; we still have before us the sight of the unendurable and life long misery of those — fortunately few —of our most unhappy sisters who born and brought up in respectable families have been forcibly converted and then married to convict coolies. For five long months not a day has passed without its dread tale of horror to unfold.

3. Your gracious Ladyship's distracted memorialists have endeavoured without exaggeration, without setting down aught in malice to convey at least some idea of the indescribably terrible agonies which they and thousands more of their sisters have been enduring for over five months now through this reign of inhuman (rightfulness inaugurated and carried on in the name of the Khilafat. We have briefly referred without going into their harrowing details to our heart rending tale of dishonour, outrage, rapine, and desolation. But if the past has been one of pain and anguish, the future is full of dread and gloom. We have to return to a ruined and desolated land. Our houses have been burnt or destroyed ; may of our breadwinners killed ; all our property looted ; our cattle slaughtered. Repatriation without compensation means for us ruin, beggary, starvation. Will not the benign Government come to our aid and give us something to help us to begin life anew? We are now asked to settle down as paupers in the midst of the execrable Sends who robbed, insulted and murdered our loved ones — veritable demons such as hell itself could not let loose. Many of us shrink from the idea of going back to what there is left of our homes; for though the armed bands and rebels have been dispersed the rebellion cannot be said to be entirely quelled. It is like a venomous serpent whose spine has been partly broken, but whose poison fangs are still intact and whose striking power, if diminished, has not been destroyed. A few thousands of rebels have been killed and a few more thousands have been imprisoned, but as the Government are only too well aware many more thousands of rebels, looters, savagely militant evangelists and other inhuman monsters yet remain at large, a few in concealment, but most, moving about with arrogance openly threatening reprisals on all non-moslims who dare to return and resume possession of their property. Many refugees who went back have paid for their temerity with their lives. In fact, repatriation, if it is not to be a leap from the frying pan into the fire, must mean for the vast bulk of your Ladyship's impoverished and helpless memorialists and their families a hard inexorable problem of financial help, and adequate protection against renewed hellish outrages from which immunity would be utterly impossible as long as thousands of men and even wom6n and children of this semi-savage and fanatical race in whom the worst instinct of earth hunger, blood-lust and rapine have been awakened to fierce activity- are free to prey upon their peaceable and inoffensive neighbours who — let it be most respectfully emphasized — because of their implicit trust in the power an I the will of a just and benign Government to protect them, had suffered their own art and capacity for self defence to emasculate and decay.

4. We, Your Ladyship's humble and sorrow-stricken memorialists do not seek vengeance. Our misery will not be rendered less by inflicting similar misery upon this barbarous and savage race; our dead will not return to us if these slayers are slaughtered. We would not be human, however, if we could ever forget the cruel and shameful outrages and indignities perpetrated upon us by a race to whom we have always endeavoured to be friendly and neigbourly! we would be hypocritical if, robbed of all our possessions we did not plead for some measure of compensation to help us out of the pauperism now forced upon us; we would be imbecile, if knowing the ungovernable, anti-social propensities and the deadly religious fanaticism of the raoplah race v.e did not entreat the just and powerful government to protect the lives and honour of our humble sisters who have to live in the rebel-ravaged zone. Our ambition after all is low enough ; sufficient compensation to save us and our children from starvation, and enough military protection against massacre and outrage are all that we want. We beseech Your Compassionate Ladyship to exercise all the benevolent influence that you possess with the government to see that our humble prayers are granted. But if the benign Government does not consider it possible to compensate us and to protect us in our native land we would most fervently pray that free grants of land may be assigned to us in some neighbouring region which though less blessed with the lavish gifts of nature may also be less cursed by the cruelty and brutality of man.

We beg to remain

Your Ladyship's most humble and obedient servants.

Since then there have been scores of riots throughout the country, including the infamous noakhali riots in which similar treatment was meted out to the hindu women of Bengal. The ferocity of this outrage was surpassed during the second partition of the भारतवर्ष in 1947. It seems that we have not learnt anything from our history. That is why we are witnessing the same distressing signals in Kashmir, West Bengal and Kerala. 

I request everybody to read Qur'an to find out the root cause of the behaviour of Muslims.

It was Mohammad, the prophet of Islam, who set the example for Muslims to kill काफिर husbands to get their wives. The same is emphasized in Qur'an. His 'wife' Juwairiyya was also one such woman.

CRIMINALS CALLED SUFIS - AMIR KHUSRO

Trying to show that Islam is a 'religion of peace' is a recent phenomena. It gained currency in last seven decades. Prior to that, the protagonists of Islam were honest and straight forward. They never felt the need to hide behind the smoke screen of 'peace' or 'love' because they had the might of sword with them. Exactly like Christianity, which has re-branded and re-packaged itself as 'religion of love'.

One aspect of this 'image building exercise' is 'advertising' the sufi tradition of Islam with the message that sufis were some nice and gentle people who loved all, irrespective of religion or dharm. Like all advertisers, these apologists of Islam know that people, by and large, can be herded like sheep because humans are intellectually lazy (most of them). Most of the Hindus, have taken the bait, hook, line and sinker.

One of such 'great' poet, sufi and artist was Amir Khusro. Full name Muhammad Hassan Yaminuddin. Born in 1253 and died in 1325.

He is said to be a great human being because, he was the father of Kawwali, he invented (sic) Sitar, he invented (sic) tabla, he loved Hindustan, and of course, he was not a fundamentalist. In fact, he was someone, who was above the bigotry, typical of Islam.

Let us look at the truth, in his own words.

First of all, let us look at his love for Hindustan and the reasons for it. The following excerpt is from his poem Ashiqa, written in Persian.

"Happy Hindustan, the splendour of Religion, where the Law finds perfect honour and security. In learning Dehli can now compete with Bokhara, for Islam has been made manifest by its kings.

The Hindustan that he finds happy is one in which Islam was prevalent. Established by its kings. 

What about Hinduism ? It comes in the next line.

The whole country, by means of the sword of our holy warriors, has become like a forest denuded of its thorns by fire. The land has been saturated with the water of the sword, and the vapours of infidelity have been dispersed. The strong men of Hind have been trodden under foot, and all are ready to pay Jizya.

The holy warriors means Jihadis, 
forest denuded of its thorns by fire is for Hindus which have been killed.
water of the sword means Blood of Hindus and 
vapors of infidelity refers to हिन्दू धर्म. 
Jizya was a tax which Hindus paid in those centuries, just to live. They hand to buy the right to live as a Hindu by paying this tax. Its mode of payment was designed to humiliate Hindus, which I will explain after finishing this paragraph from the pen of Sufi. 


The 'kind sufi' further says:

Islam is triumphant, idolatry is subdued. Had not the law granted exemption from death by the payment of poll-tax, the very name of Hind, root and branch, would have been extinguished. From Ghazni to the shore of the ocean you see all under the dominion of Islam.  

The system of Islamic code, used in Hindustan was Hanafi. This is the only code, out of the four Islamic codes, which gave the option of letting Hindus live in Islamic rule. The other three say that idolators have either to be converted to Muslims or killed. Here, the 'sufi saint' is lamenting the fact that it is due to Hanafi law that Hindus are alive, otherwise they would have been finished off. Further he adds:

Cawing crows see no arrows pointed at them ; nor is the Tarsa (Christian) there, who does not fear (taras) to render the servant equal with God ; nor the Jew who dares to exalt the Pentateuch to a level with the Kuran; nor the Magli who is delighted with the worship of fire, but of whom the fire complains with its hundred tongues. The four sects of Musulmans are at amity, and the very fish are Sunnis."

Cawing crows 'काले कव्वे' was his favorite term for Hindus. 

I hope that gives us an insight into the mind of a bigot, who is being paraded as a 'gentle sufi'. As one reads the true history of the Sufis, one finds that Amir Khusro was one of the lesser psychopaths. Others were far more monstrous. Killing and raping Hindus was mundane for them. About one more such sufi, मोइनुद्दीन चिश्ती, read here. All this is in accordance with कुरआन and life style of पैगम्बर मोहम्मद.

The era in which Khusro lived was a nightmare for Hindus as wave after wave of Islamic invaders was coming to plunder the 'golden sparrow'. The wealth and women of Hindus were raped and these hapless raped Hindu women gave birth to more bigots in the Harems of Muslims. Amir Khusro was one such product. He was fathered by a turkish soldeir to a Hindu Rajput woman. 

Now coming to Jizya. It was in accordance to Quran (9:29) :

Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allah, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

Look at the last three words - 'feel themselves subdued'. It has been translated differently by different scholars of Islam. The above mentioned translation is by 'Hilali and Khan'. It is said to be (link)

Now the most widely disseminated Qur'an in most Islamic bookstores and Sunni mosques throughout the English-speaking world

Its हिंदी translation by Farooq Khan and Nadwi (link) says it like:

वह लोग ज़लील होकर (अपने) हाथ से जज़िया दे 

Ziauddeen Barani, a close friend of Amir Khusro, has recorded a conversation between Allauddeen khilji and a Qazi Mughisuddeen regarding Hindus and payment of Jizya. Here it is:

The Sultan then asked, " How are Hindus designated in the law, as payers of tribute (Kharaj guzar) or givers of tribute {kharaj-deh) ?" The Kazi replied, "They are called payers of tribute (ज़िम्मी), and when the revenue officer demands silver from them, they should, without question and with all humility and respect, tender gold. If the officer throws dirt into their mouths, they must without reluctance open their mouths wide to receive it. By doing so they show their respect for the officer. The due subordination of the zimmi (tribute-payer) is exhibited in this humble payment and by this throwing of dirt into their mouths. The glorification of Islam is a duty, and contempt of the Religion is vain. God holds them in contempt, for he says, 'Keep them under in subjection.' To keep the Hindus in abasement is especially a religious duty, because they are the most inveterate enemies of the Prophet, and because the Prophet has commanded us to slay them, plunder them, and make them captive, saying, ' Convert them to Islam or kill them, enslave them and spoil their wealth and property.' No doctor but the great doctor (Hanifa), to whose school we belong, has assented to the imposition of the jizya (poll tax) on Hindus. Doctors of other schools allow no other alternative (to Hindus) but 'Death or Islam.'"

That is the kind of 'Happy Hindustan' that Amir Khusro loved. When Mullahs talk about imposing Sharia in our country, they are drooling at the prospect of raping Hindu women as they did in those dark ages, all sanctioned by Quran. Here it is (Quran - chapter4, Verse 3) :

And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan-girls, then marry (other) women of your choice, two or three, or four but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one or (the captives and the slaves) that your right hands possess. That is nearer to prevent you from doing injustice.

The euphemism - 'your right hand possess' is better explained in the Hindi translation (link) which tells the true meaning

या उस स्त्री (लौंड़ी) पर जो तुम्हारे क़ब्ज़े में आई हो

Anyway, let us get back to our loving poet, who represents a 'composite culture', which teaches tolerance. Here is more of his love for Hindustan (his poems describe the fun he had) :

The lightning of Mughal fury penetrated even to those parts, and smoke arose from the burning towns of Hindustan, and the people, flying from their flaming houses, threw themselves into the rivers and torrents.

Although Northern Africa was converted to Islam in a short span of time, Hindus fought Islam for more then a thousand years. During many such wars, Khusro accompanied the Islamic Ganglords. Following are some such descriptions in which he poetically talks about the sorry state of Hindus and Hinduism.

When the bank of the entrenchment had reached the height of the western bastion of the fortress, the Royal Westerns, shot large earthen balls against that infidel fort, so that the hearts of the Hindus began to quail."

These translations have been taken from 'History of India as told by its own historians' written by Elliot and Dowson in eight volumes. Let me go through the other volumes to share more about this sufi.

'OM' AND ISLAMIC PRANAYAM

Once a human mind is exposed to a new idea, the mind never goes back to its initial stage. The idea remains. Lives. 

During the dark ages of Europe, the church controlled, or tried to control the populace by force. The church and its popes thought that they can rule the humanity. Given enough resources in terms of men and money, it might be possible. But controlling minds is something which is not always possible. The result was revolt to the oppressive Church empire. Europe burst out of it and breathed in an air which it had known during its pre Christianity age. Air free from bigotry and closed thinking. The censorship methods of Church failed. The rewards were Copernicus, Galileo, Bruno, Voltaire, Freud, Thomas Paine and many who are unknown to us.

The day Muslims will muster enough courage to dismiss the authority of the Mullahs with the contempt that they deserve, we might see some genuine Middle east intellectuals. What the Muslims need are more A.P.J Abdul Kalams and Tasleema Nasreens rather then media created clowns like M.F.Hussain.

But right now, nothing of the sort is visible right now. On the contrary, the Islamic popes are trying to befool ordinary Muslims with atrocious claims, bordering on buffoonery. Sample this:

Dutch Professor Confirms

Healing Effect Of "Allah"

A psychologist from Netherlands, Professor Van der Hoven announced his discovery about the effect of reading the Quran and repeating the word “Allah,” both on patients and on normal persons. The Dutch professor confirms his discovery with studies and research applied on many patients over a period of three years. Some of his patients were non-Muslims, others do not speak Arabic and were trained to pronounce the word “Allah.” Clearly, the result was great, particularly on those who suffer from dejection and tension. Al Watan, a Saudi Daily reported that the psychologist was quoted to say that Muslims who can read Arabic and who read the Quran regularly can protect themselves from psychological diseases.
The psychologist explained how each letter in the word “ Allah” affects healing of psychological diseases. He pointed out in his research that pronouncing the first letter in the word “Allah’ which is the letter “A” released from the respiratory system, controls breathing. He added that pronouncing the velar consonant (L) in the Arabic way, with the tongue touching slightly the upper part of the jaw producing a short pause and then repeating the same pause constantly relaxes the aspiration. Also, pronouncing the last letter, which is the letter (H) makes a contact between the lungs and the heart and in turn this controls the heartbeat.
What is exciting in the study is that this psychologist is a non-Muslim, but interested in Islamic sciences and searching for the secrets of the Holy Quran. Allah, the Great and Glorious says: “ We will show them Our signs in the universe and in their own selves, until it becomes manifest to them that this Quran is the truth.” (Holy Quran-42:53).

 If you have not burst an artery laughing, then try to concentrate on the text.

So, we have a dutch professor here. That might give us an impression that 'the' professor is an academician. But which institute or University he belongs to, is not mentioned.
The reason probably is that the imaginary 'professor' conducted an imaginary 'research' in the fertile laboratory of some radically indoctrinated goaty Maulavi.

Moreover, Van der Hoven is no dutch name but a last name Vanderhoven.

But we must appreciate the IQ of this propagandist. It must be very near to that of my dining table.

Let us look at his gems:

(H) makes a contact between the lungs and the heart and this controls the heart beat.

Poor we! We always thought that the lungs and the heart are always in contact. May be its time to chuck our Anatomy books out of our houses and run to the nearest dumbest Maulana.

So (H) controls makes a contact between the lungs and the heart. And....and...

it controls the heart beat.

My My!

I am just wondering about those who are born with speech impairment. Many such unfortunate souls will not be able to pronounce (H). Does it mean that their heart beat is not controlled?

May be this mystery will also be somehow solved by some 'dutch professor'. I mean a 'dumb professor'. I mean a 'dumb goaty'.

There is more from where this gem came. Like this:

who read the Quran regularly can protect themselves from psychological diseases

Don't we know this.

Once they rid themselves of psychological diseases like 'human rights', 'respect for women', 'empathy for living beings', 'tolerance', they become perfectly normal 'inspired Muslims'. Now these well adjusted individuals love to:

kill innocent persons in Mumbai, after a ferry ride from terrorist heaven to India.

fly planes into tall buildings.

plant bombs in trains, temples and hospitals.

behead infidels.

rape infidel women.

And some other such indulgences which general public might not be aware of.

If you are wondering, what was the need of such a stupid news item, then read this extract of a Belgian Yoga exponent about the effect of chanting OM during Pranayam (link):

More specifically, Dr.Leser-Lasario dedicated 25 years of study to the effects of vocal vibrations in the human body and his work has concluded, with an absolute scientific rigor, that the emission of vowels during exhales causes a vibratory auto-massage of the internal organs. These vibrations reach the deepest tissues and nervous cells, intensifying blood circulation in the target tissues and internal organs. Internal secreting glands are equally stimulated to secrete their hormones directly into the bloodstream and the lymph (pituitary, pineal, thyroids, thymus, adrenals and gonads), and this vibration of the vocal chords similarly influences both the sympathetic and vagus nerve. The musculature of the breathing apparatus is both relaxed and strengthened, expanding the thoracic cavity and thus the pulmonary capacity, an enlarged breathe which translates in an increase of oxygen supply to the whole body. Besides, the vibrant internal massage resulting from the emission of the vowels 'au', acts especially in the abdominal organs and the organs of the thoracic cage, whilst the vibration of the 'mmm' in our skulls induces a vibration of the cranial nerves. The OM being chanted during the exhalation, it directly contributes to make it slow, regular and complete. The emission of the 'Au' sound limits the pace of the expired air, and the benefits of slow breathing are numerous and well known by Yoga practitioners (increased lung capacity results in a higher supply of oxygen, increased vitality, cleansing of the bloodstream and toxins in the lungs, and calming of the brain, amongst others). Regular exhale is a direct result of a uniform emission of the 'au' sound, which, if prolonged until the end of our capacity, assures the complete emptiness of our lungs. This complete, regular and slow breathing enables us to totally expel the stale air from our lungs and reduce as much as possible the volume of residual air. As an immediate and direct consequence of this integral emptying of the lungs, our inhale enlarges and deepens progressively, increasing our lung capacity and oxygen supply with the previously stated beneficial effects. 

Now, do you get it?

Such truths are killing the Sharia obsessed Mullahs, so they are trying desperately to clutch on to the straws which are not even there.

Unlike the imaginary professor, these have been carried out by universities.
Here is the one by University of Maryland Medical Institute. Look at the links to reference mentioned at the end of the page. It tells us about the real facts:

The benefits of yoga

Yoga improves fitness, lowers blood pressure, promotes relaxation and self-confidence, and reduces stress and anxiety. People who practice yoga tend to have good coordination, posture, flexibility, range of motion, concentration, sleep habits, and digestion. Yoga is a complementary therapy that has been used with conventional therapies to help treat a wide range of health problems, but it is not a cure for any particular disease.

Studies show that yoga may help the following conditions:

• Anxiety and stress
• Arthritis -- osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
• Asthma
• Cancer, as an adjunct therapy to reduce stress and strengthen the immune system. One study of 68 breast cancer patients found that those who practiced yoga has less anxiety and depression compared to those who didn't. Even the DNA damage from radiotherapy was slightly less in the yoga group compared to the control group.
• Chronic back pain
• Depression
• Diabetes
• Epilepsy
• Heart disease, by lowering cholesterol levels, lowering blood pressure, lessening stress, and reducing the frequency and severity of chest pain (when combined with a healthy diet)
• High blood pressure
• Hormonal imbalances
• Irritable bowel syndrome
• Lung diseases
• Pregnancy
• Migraine headaches

In addition, yoga postures that stretch and strengthen the joints in the upper body may improve grip strength and reduce pain among people with carpal tunnel syndrome.

For those who want to find out what an actual research news item looks like, this item might help.

Wellness through a comprehensive yogic breathing program - a controlled pilot trial. 

It was carried out by Department of Psychology, Karlstad University, Karlstad, Sweden
and Department of Molecular Biosciences, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway

It is such eye opening researches which establish that religions are superfluous and it is 'Dharm' that is supreme. But such truths are a nightmare for 'control freaks' of today as they were for popes of yesteryears.


The main anxiety of these control freaks is that the day everyone will know the beneficial effects of OM, they will lose their bread and butter and mutton and wine.

As more and more sensible persons from all religions are appreciating the truth and efficacy of Yog and Pranayam, we are looking at a better tomorrow. Free of bigotry and fanaticism.

All the more respect for people like Swami Ramdev and Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, who do not discriminate on the basis of religion. They present such a stark contrast to insecure Catholics and Obscure Mullahs.

A JOKE CALLED 'THE HINDU'

If any further evidence was ever needed that the mainstream media is in the service of terrorists, then 'The Hindu' gives us the latest example. I am providing below link to two news items published by the newspaper.

In this item, the 'respectable' newspaper says:

A special court here on Wednesday sentenced 31 persons to life imprisonment ....Legal experts said the verdict created history as it was the first case in which a large number of people were convicted for mob violence. It broke the record of the Bhagalpur riots case, in which 14 persons were convicted.

Hmmm. 

First case. Or it should be FIRST CASE?

Now, look at the number of persons convicted for which history has been created. It is 31. This would naturally mean that 'such large number of monsters' have never been sentenced in our country. The previous highest was mere 14.

Nothing wrong. One might think.

Now, let us look at another news item of the same newspaper. This one is about eight months old. It says: 

31 Convicted, 63 acquitted in Godhra train case.

The number is the same but the verdict did not create history in February but it is creating history in November.

In fact, the verdict given by the honorable courts in the month of february was historic because, for the first time, 11 persons (out of the 31 convicted) have been given death sentence. It was due to the barbarity of the act, and more significantly, because the Islamic monsters had pre planned the mass murder.

WHY THE TWIST?

Remember the movie 'Dumb and Dumber'?

If you are asking the reason for the twist, then you are dumb (I will answer anyway) and if you think it is 'one of those mistakes', then you are dumber and beyond redemption.

When the courts convicted 31 persons, the first time, the perpetrators were Islamic fanatics. This would have exposed the ugly face of the imperialistic creed. In the second case, where 31 persons have been convicted, the perpetrators are Hindus. Since Hinduism is the favorite punching bag for Church or Jihadist funded media crooks, hiding behind the mask of secularism. Moreover, since our nation is in the grip of Italian mafia, one can look favorably towards Delhi to be considered worthy of some kind of appreciation, which might help get a seat in the NAC.

Some more Nuggets

Pay attention to the mind games played by the editor. 

After the Godhra incident, in which 59 Hindu passengers, mostly Karsevaks, were burnt to death, riots broke out across the State.

Read the bold words. The word Karsewak will evoke image of men. It is very natural. Ain't it? This sleight of hand is to hide the monstrosity that was Godhra burning. The fact is that most of the 59 Hindus were killed were returning from a pilgrimage to Ayodhya and out of them 40 were women and children.

Contrast it with the graphic detail with which the other picture is presented.

According to the relatives of the victims of the Sardarpura violence, a mob of over 500 people surrounded a lane named Sheikh Vaas, where the Muslims of the village lived, on the night of March 1, 2002. Fearing the worst, 70 residents took shelter in the only ‘pucca' house in the locality, owned by a person called Ibrahim Sheikh. The mob attacked the house and set it afire. It later threw in an exposed electric wire. While 33 people, including 20 women and 11 minors, were charred to death, the rest were rescued by the police some three hours later.

You might like this editorial in the same newspaper by an intellectual mercenary, masquerading as an editor. Justifying the 'petro dollars'!

Legal expert

At the cost of being repetitive, here is one sentence we should read again:

Legal experts said the verdict created history as it was the first case in which a large number of people were convicted for mob violence.

Find something fishy? or Missing?

It is the name of the 'legal experts'. Considering the fact that the newspaper would have obliged some 'real' legal expert by printing their names, the missing name/names might be a mystery for the uninitiated. The reason is that one has to be a real dumb ass lawyer or as shameless as the editor of the article to get his/her name printed opposite such hog wash.
