1.1.1Cruelty to young children

On 31 May came a grim news                                                                                                       

An evil mother and her lesbian partner have been convicted of murdering tragic two-year-old Liam Fee. Rachel Trelfa, 31, and her civil partner Nyomi Fee, 29, killed Fee's son after a barrage of abuse at her home in Fife, Scotland in 2014.

The toddler was found dead having suffered a ruptured heart as a result of severe blunt force trauma to his body. Trelfa and Fee both denied killing the child but were convicted of his murder following a seven-week trial at the High Court in Livingston, Scotland.

The callous women, originally of Ryton, Tyne and Wear, were also found guilty of a catalogue of abuse against two other young boys, including one they falsely blamed for Liam's death. During the trial, the court heard how the toddler was kept in a cage and forced to eat dog excrement. Shocking photos have emerged showing the conditions he and other kids were forced to live in.

The jury found Trelfa, also known as Rachel Fee, and Nyomi Fee had subjected the toddler to an escalating pattern of cruelty during his short life.

In the days before his death he suffered a broken leg and arm, but he was killed by a blow to his abdomen which was so severe it ruptured his heart. The pathologist who examined the boy also found more than 30 external injuries on the toddler's lifeless body and fractures to the boy's upper arm and thigh. Several members of the jury were reduced to tears as a police video showing the toddler's body was played to the court.

Alex Prentice QC, prosecuting, told the court the killers were guilty of "unyielding, heartless cruelty". He added they had shown "callous indifference" to Liam's suffering and had covered up his injuries.

Both Fee and Trelfa will be sentenced on July 6.

Our comments - Once again there will be a “serious case review”, lessons will be learnt and forgotten. How can this happen in today’s society?

1.1.2 Ayeeshia Jane Smith: Mum Kathryn Smith guilty of murder /                              

8 April 2016   A mother has been found guilty of murdering her 21-month-old daughter, who died with injuries likened to those of a car crash victim.  Kathryn Smith, 23, was convicted of murder and cruelty to a child over the death of Ayeeshia Jane Smith at her flat in Burton upon Trent in 2014.  Her partner Matthew Rigby, 22, was cleared of murder but convicted of causing or allowing the child's death in Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire. The pair had repeatedly protested their innocence at Birmingham Crown Court.

The jury decided Smith was the one who delivered the fatal blow, which pathologists said was probably a "stamp" that tore her heart. Ayeeshia, collapsed at the couple's home in Britannia Drive in May 2014.

The trial heard social services were aware of Ayeeshia from birth. They had placed Smith in supported housing in Swadlincote, Derbyshire, after finding out she was living in her father's garage while pregnant. In June 2013, the child was placed with a foster family but sent back to live with her mother in October, who had by then started a relationship with Rigby and was living in Burton-upon-Trent.

The court heard Ayeeshia had a heart injury usually seen in people who have fallen off buildings or been in a car crash. Pathologists found 16 separate injuries on her body, including a historical bleed on the brain.

There was a pattern of non-accidental injuries stretching back to the time Ayeeshia was returned to the care of her mother. She had thrived while in foster care but was malnourished and at the bottom of the child weight charts by the time of her death.

In hindsight, professionals seem to have missed a number of red-flag moments that should have alerted them to step in, especially a life-threatening event when the toddler collapsed and was rushed to hospital three months before her death.

Children's Services were not even aware she required resuscitation. The diagnosis of a febrile convulsion had actually come from the child's mother, not from any expert. No tests were carried out on Ayeeshia, which would have shown the brain and spinal column bleed she had suffered, likely caused by violent shaking.

A serious case review by Derbyshire County Council is under way and it won't be known until its publication what mistakes, if any, were made.

Smith and Rigby, who was considered the toddler's stepfather, were regular cannabis users

Burton MP Andrew Griffiths said an independent inquiry was needed.

Comparing the case to that of Victoria Climbie and the death of Baby Peter, he said it was too serious to be looked at by local social services. "Such a shocking and brutal death that raises so many questions about how social workers operate should not be placed in the hands of the local authority to investigate itself," he said.

"This child was known to social services from the very moment she was born, and throughout her life social workers were aware of the real danger that she was in. "It's remarkable and deeply concerning that, given there appears to be such obvious signs of risk to her life, that social workers didn't intervene earlier and didn't take steps to take her from her mother."

Ayeeshia died from a laceration to the heart on 1 May 2014.

1.1.3 Carer stole £57,000 from elderly couple to buy car

On 14 April Rosemary Bennett/ Social Affairs Correspondent reported for The Times (p14)

Alliah Howe, 20, was caring for the man in Frinton on Sea, Essex, when she stole his wife’s bank card. His wife was in a care home at the time with no access to the account.

Howe gained access to the 89-year old woman’s account on numerous occasions between September and November last year and transferred money into her own account.

She used the cash to clear debts, eat out with friends and to buy clothes and furniture. In total she stole £57,000. She was caught in October when she tried to use the account to buy £30,000 Mercedes. Suspicions were raised with police and she was arrested in November.

Howe was jailed by Chelmsford crown court for 15 months after pleading guilty to theft and fraud at a previous hearing.

Detective Constable Darren Herbert from Essex Police’s serious economic crime unit said that Howe had abused her position of trust.

An investigation by The Times this week found that calls reporting theft and fraud against the elderly have doubled in a year. The growing use of covert CCTV by families and friends means that more carers who steal are being caught. However, in almost every recent case, the carer was given fine or a suspended sentence. This was despite sentence guidelines stating that targeting a vulnerable person and breaching a position of trust are aggravating factors. Campaigners have said that the crime of financial abuse of an elder is not being taken seriously enough and the sentences are not acting as deterrent.

The Ministry of Justice will be conducting a review of sentencing shortly. Nus Ghani, MP for Wealden and chairwoman of the all-party parliamentary group on ageing and older people, has called on ministers to take elder abuse a priority.                                                   

Note - It is more shocking that even the relatives of vulnerable old people are guilty of stealing from their own relatives.

1.1.4 Migrant crisis

(a) BBC Radio 4 Programme Sunday from 0710 to 0800 on 1 May 2016

In Austria refugees from Syria / Iraq / Iran / Afghanistan are converting to Christianity

Now they cannot be sent back – their lives will be in danger. Islam proscribes death penalty to those who convert form Islam to any other religion!

They tried same tactics in Australia. And once they are allowed to stay they can convert back to Islam as there is freedom of religion in the West!

 

(b) As the route from Turkey to Greece has dried up many more are now travelling from Libya to Italy. Also new migrants are arriving in French port of Calais waiting to come to England. So, the jungle is still there.

 

(c) On 30 May came a surprising news. A boat was sinking off the coast of Kent. Its passengers were rescued by coast-guards. It contained 19 passengers, 17 Albanians and 2 British. We were told that they contacted their relatives in Calais who alerted the British Coast guard. So, this seems to be the new route being tried by migrants.

 

(d) It is surprising that Jews who escaped Nazis and came to England as unaccompanied children have been clamouring to allow 3,000 Muslim refugee children who are now in Europe. They forget that the situations are not comparable. Jews faced death under Nazis. Are refugee children in France facing similar danger? NO. Moreover these children will be brought up as Muslims and can at a later date become radicalized and become terrorist. Have Jews of England not seen barbarity of Hamas towards Jews? Now read the news item of 31 May 2016

 

(e) French Jews flee Paris suburbs over rising anti-Semitism

When Alain Benhamou walked into his apartment near Paris in July 2015 and saw the words "dirty Jew" scrawled on the wall, he knew it was time to leave. It was his second such break-in in less than three months and the 71-year-old no longer felt welcome in Bondy, a Parisian suburb he had called home for more than 40 years.

"Until the years 2000-2005, the town was nice and quiet, with 250 to 300 Jewish families and synagogues full on the Sabbath," Benhamou says. "Now, only about a hundred Jewish families remain."

Benhamou is part of a growing number of French Jews who have effectively become internal refugees, fleeing insecurity and seeking protection in numbers in an atmosphere they say is increasingly hostile, and often expressed in relation to conflict in the Middle East. He moved a few miles south to Villemomble, where there is a larger and more established Jewish community.

But others have fled France altogether. A record 8,000 or so French Jews moved to Israel in 2015 alone …… France has the largest Jewish population in Europe, estimated at 500,000 to 600,000 people. Half of them live in the Paris region but their numbers have declined steadily over the past 15 years, researchers say.

With France also home to Europe's largest Muslim community, which counts around five million members, the bloodshed in the Middle East unleashed a wave of unrest, particularly in the Paris region which saw a surge in anti-Semitic acts and threats.

In nearby Raincy, Rabbi Moshe Lewin shares Benhamou's pessimism, fearing he could be one of the last Jewish leaders in Seine-Saint-Denis. "What upsets me is that in some areas of France, Jews can no longer live peacefully, and that just five minutes from my home, some are forced to hide their kippas (skullcaps) or their Star of David," he admits.

1.1.5 Archbishop of Canterbury learns real father was Churchill's private secretary

On 9 April 2016 came a sensational news

The Archbishop of Canterbury has said a DNA test result revealing the identity of his biological father has come as a "complete surprise". The Most Reverend Justin Welby, 60, has discovered he is the son of Sir Winston Churchill's last private secretary, the late Sir Anthony Montague Browne. He had believed his father was whisky salesman Gavin Welby, who died in 1977.

 

His mother, Lady Williams of Elvel, has confirmed she had a "liaison" with Sir Anthony just before she wed in 1955.  She said the news had come as an "almost unbelievable shock", and although her memory of the time was patchy, she recalled sleeping with former colleague Sir Anthony after "a large amount of alcohol on both sides".

 

Hair samples

Archbishop Welby, the most senior cleric in the worldwide Anglican Communion, said he discovered the real identity of his biological father in recent weeks.

The Daily Telegraph reports that he decided to take a DNA test after it approached him with research it had carried out into his family's background.

It reports mouth swabs were compared with hair samples from a hairbrush kept by Sir Anthony's widow and showed a 99.9779% probability they were father and son. Former Telegraph editor Charles Moore, who broke the story, said the archbishop was "very, very surprised” when the DNA tests were revealed to him.

"The dates looked impossible because he was born almost exactly nine months after his mother married Gavin Welby, and so it was natural to think that he was a honeymoon baby."

He told Radio 4's Today programme that it appeared that Lady Williams went to bed with Sir Anthony in the days before she eloped to the US with Gavin Welby.

                                                                                                                                                      

Our comment – So much for morality of the British Today! What was there morality in Victorian times?

 

1.2 Europe

1.2.1 Belgium

On 22 March 2016, two Muslim suicide bombers attacked Brussels Zaventem airport and Metro station. 34 people were dead, and 250 injured.

Two men can cause this havoc. Even 1% of Muslim population of Belgium will be 6,000. Can you imagine the havoc they can cause? Sure, third suspect was arrested and connection between this attack and that in Paris, which killed 130 people was established. What next? Such attacks severely disrupt traffic and normal civic life.

Osama K is believed to have entered Greece from Syria with migrants last year, using a fake Syrian passport. Prosecutors believe he was driven from Germany to Belgium by Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam in October. Herve BM, described as a Rwandan national and Bilal EM are both suspected of having offered assistance to Abrini and Osama K.

Our comments – We are always given flimsy excuses for such attacks – Muslim youths are marginalized, they are alienated, they feel they do not belong to European society, they are poor, they lack education and opportunities etc. But they do not steal or rob people of money or valuables. They kill innocent people wilily nilly. And they are ALL Muslims. Now all the European countries will be saddled with huge security bills.

 

1.2.2 There Will Soon Be More Muslims than Practising Christians in Europe, Politician Warns / 26 April 2016

A Belgian minister has said that Muslims will ‘very soon’ outnumber practising Christians in Europe. Koen Geens, the country’s justice minister, told the European Parliament, ‘In Europe, very shortly we’re soon going to have more practising Muslims than practising Christians. ‘That is not because there are too many Muslims; it is because Christians are generally less practising. Europe does not realise this, but this is the reality.’

Belgium’s deputy Prime Minister, Jan Jambon, told a hearing by MEPs into the Brussels attacks that the ‘worst thing’ that Europe could do would be to ‘make an enemy of Islam’.

Instead, Jambon told the hearing that Europe should focus on getting Muslims on side - while targeting terrorists.  ‘We have 600,000 to 700,000 Muslims in Belgium and the overwhelming majority of those people share our values.

 

1.2.3 France                        

Extend headscarf ban to Universities, urges French PM.

 

Muslim women should be banned from wearing headscarves in French universities, Manuel Vails, the prime minister, said yesterday. Several cabinet colleagues, as well as Muslim groups, immediately opposed his call.  The centre-left prime minister staked out a hard line over enforcing France's principle of state secularism, aligning himself with ideas backed by Nicolas Sarkozy, the conservative opposition leader, and Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Front.                  

 

The hijab has been banned since 2004 in all state primary and secondary schools and the niqab face veil has been outlawed anywhere in public since 2011.

 

Mr Vails, asked by Liberation newspaper whether he supported demands to extend the headscarf ban into state universities, said: "It should be done, but there are constitutional rules which make a ban difficult." He reiterated his view that veils and other head coverings in France represented the "enslavement" of Muslim women. 

The prime minister has been voicing alarm since the terrorist attacks in Paris in November over what he sees as a dangerous rise in fundamentalist influence in universities and other parts of society.

 

Mr Vails also faulted France’s Muslim community, Europe’s largest at six million, for failing to convince the country that the religion was “compatible with the Republic, democracy, our values and equality between men and women".

30-Foot Tunnel Found in Jammu and Kashmir Planned for Big Terror Attack

 

The BSF foiled infiltration bid by unearthing a tunnel approaching Indian side near Nikki Tawi River in Jammu sector.


A 30-feet-long and 10-feet-deep tunnel through Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir’s RS Pura
They want to smuggle terrorists and arms through their tunnels.

Straight out of a movie plot, soldiers who were clearing an area in Jammu and Kashmir of wild grass stumbled upon a 30-foot secret tunnel running through the International Border. The Border Security Force or BSF says the tunnel was dug for a major terror attack.

Here are latest developments:

  1. The tunnel, which is 10 feet deep, was found concealed under elephant grass at Jammu’s RS Pura sector near a post called Allah Mai De Kothey.
  2. The tunnel was right below the border fence put up to prevent infiltration into Indian Territory.
  3. It appears that a big terrorist attack was being planned after infiltration through this tunnel in the near future,” said senior BSF officer Rakesh Sharma.
  4. The BSF has recorded its protest with Pakistan and says it has evidence on which it expects action.
  5. “We’ve requested Pakistan Rangers to come forward for investigation. They said we’ll take care and take action,” said Rakesh Sharma.
  6. The officer said the tunnel dug from Pakistan was meant to push arms and terrorists into Jammu city.
  7. In 2012, a sophisticated 400-metre tunnel with ventilation pipes was discovered in the Samba sector and another was found near the border in the Akhnoor sector in 2009.
  8. “Their strategy was to keep the wild growth and to dig the tunnel,” said the senior BSF officer.
  9. Expertise and lot of engineering goes into the construction of such tunnels, officers say. Arrested terrorists have in the past talked about tunnels being used for infiltration.
  10. With traditional routes for infiltration getting blocked in a big way, terrorists are believed to have changed their tactics.

1.2.5 America

(a) Behaviour of Hindus

On 3 September 2014 we received following disturbing E Mail

Ganesh Chaturthi celebrated with Sufi Quwalli!!!

 

On Saturday afternoon I went to the Bharatiya Temple (Chalfont, Montgomery County PA) to pay my respects to Ganeshji. Guess what assailed my ears as soon as I came up the driveway. Not the sounds of bhajans, bells or conches... but the amplified strains of            "dum-a-dum Mast Qalandar"!

 

Note that this is one of the largest community Hindu temples in North America, with its festival celebrations visited by 1000s of Hindus from the entire NJ / Southeastern PA / Delaware valley area (home to a high concentration of immigrants of Indian origin). Its principals are stalwarts of the Hindu community in this area. And for some reason they saw fit to celebrate Ganesh Chathurthi with a cultural program that included "Hindi Urdu Devotional Qawwal by Riyaaz Qawwal Ensemble".

 

If even our public Hindu community celebrations are falling for this kind of nonsense, the effects will sprawl far beyond the exclusive scotch-and-kabab crowd to influence the great mass of US Hindus. A truly worrying phenomenon.

 

Best regards,

Kartik
                                                                                                                                                

 We had a similar experience in 2014. In Milton Keynes, England. Marathi speaking people celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi. After the pooja they had invited a group of singers. They sang songs of pyar- mohabbat from Hindi films. Godbole said, “Why did you not say so in your invitation? We would not have attended your function.   

 

( b) India could be removed from California textbooks
On 2 March 2016 Vishal Agarwal wrote from America  

More Sheldon Pollock Politics

 

Today, the Dept of Education of the State of California uploaded textbook edits, including those suggested by 'South Asia Faculty'. If you look at their 'cover letter' at the link below, Sheldon Pollock is listed as a consultant. 

 

Their edits themselves are, "Replace India with South Asia because India did not exist then', "Replace Northern India with India and Pakistan", 'Replace Hinduism with 'Indian Religion'. It is funny that though they say that 'India did not exist in ancient times', 'Indian Religion' or even 'India/Pakistan' somehow existed.

 

See https://github.com/sanskrit-coders/ca-textbook/tree/master/feedback/1602

 

Two weeks later came the news that -

As a result of Pollock being a consultant to 'South Asian’, the California Board of Education has decided to replace 'India' with 'South Asia' in the school textbooks!

On 20 March Kal Desai wrote from America                                                                          

  Got this from Hindu Mandir mailer...
CALL TO ACTION: The state of California is the largest market of school textbooks, and their content eventually determines what goes into the textbooks of MN and other states. Unfortunately, CA State Board of Education succumbed to the pressures of some anti-India and Hindu phobic Leftist Professors and has replaced 33 occurrences (which is most of them for ‘India’) of the word ‘India’ with a meaningless ‘South Asia’, and have even replaced ‘Hinduism’ paradoxically with ‘Ancient Indian Religion’ almost everywhere (except in negative contexts) in the proposed 6th, 9th and 10th grade school textbooks. This is an assault on our children’s identity because we are Hindus and most of us are also from India. Our children are not ‘South Asians who are followers of the Ancient Indian Religion.’ We have an identity, we have a name. They have NOT done this to China, Japan, Egypt, and Greece or to any other ancient civilization, or to any other religion, all of which are still referred to by their correct names. Some Professors who oppose these changes have started a petition which explains the situation (and I can send you background PDFs if you wish). Please sign this petition by Sunday night. Cut and paste the link below on your browser. Almost 5,000 have already signed in less than a day and we need 10K signatures by Monday morning. If we do not object it now, these types of meaningless changes will creep soon to MN state textbooks.

(c) Sikhs in America – dangerous signs                                                                      

 American Sikh Council sent us the following Mail on 17 November 2015,                         

 Thirteen bold resolutions were passed at the National Panthic meeting of Gurudwaras / Sikh organizations in the USA. Following two are of serious concern.

 

No 5 The Sikhs resolve to demand on this day November 14, 2015 that the Article 25B of the Indian Constitution be amended and the Sikh faith be recognized as an independent distinct religion with its own personal law based on the Sikh Faith

No 13 We resolve to use all peaceful means, including legal, to stop the inroads and infiltration of all Non-Sikh outside forces like the Rashtriya Sewak Sangh (RSS) into Sikh institutions and Sikh affairs everywhere.                                                                                  

Our comments – Sikhs are facing physical attacks on Gurudwaras by Whites and Muslims in America, Australia and Germany and still they hate the RSS!

3. BEHAVIOUR OF CHRISTIANS AND MUSLIMS TODAY

3.1 The Christians

3.1.1 Number of Church dropouts is on record high in Germany

On 31 May we saw following Mail on Rajiv Malhotra discussion group

 

  218,000 persons have officially left the Catholic Church in Germany in the year 2014
Never before was the number of Church dropouts so high.

The previous record was in 2010 with Catholics 180,000 persons.

http://www.spiegel.de/panorama/gesellschaft/katholische-kirche-austritte-auf-rekordniveau-a-1044229.html

Rajiv Malhotra commented - Churches across started exporting evangelism years back to offset their loss of members at home. Note that under their law, a certain percent of German tax money is given by the government to the Church. Given the domestic fall in consumption of Christianity, the Church accelerated its overseas evangelism to show they are using the money wisely. Same is true of Scandinavian Churches.

On 30 March we received following E Mail from Ashok Chowgule of Goa

 

3.1.2  Kerala Church appeals for Christian Muslim unity against Hindu unification

Author: Nishant / Publication: Nishantdas.net / Date: March 21, 2016

Keeping Kerala elections in the hindsight, Kerala Church appeals for Christian Muslim unity against Hindu unification The spokesperson of Kerala catholic church has appealed for a Christian, Muslim, communist unity and deject Hindu unity in Kerala.

 

Sree Narayana Dharma Paripalana Yogam (SNDP) was constituted about a century ago to reform the Ezhava Hindu community. Now, after 60 years of neglect under various secular governments, Hindus of various denominations in Kerala are trying to come together on a common platform under the leadership of SNDP General. How Kerala church perceives the attempts of Hindu unification?

Secretary Vellapally Natesan, The ‘Samatva Munnetta Yatra’ (March for Equality) led by Natesan started on November 23 from Madhur in Kasargod district, Kerala and concluded on December 5th in Thiruvananthapuram.

Interestingly, on 4th December, a Malayalam daily (which claims to be independent but is owned by a Christian family) published an article by Father Paul Thelakat, Spokesperson of the influential Syro Malabar Church under the head “This isn’t democratic language of equality”

On 10 May we read following Mail in Rajiv Malhotra discussion group                               

 

 

3.1.3 New Age Music sham

Get this: Amazon US and UK websites both have a category each for 'Christian' and 'Gospel' music but NONE for non-Christian music. All Hindu music gets lumped under New Age or World music depending upon country of origin of artist. What does this say?
Also: in India, a majority Hindu country (like USA & UK are Christian), Amazon.in has a generic 'Devotional & Spiritual' category for Hindu and Dharmic faith music but                  'Sufi &Qawwali' gets its own category. Again what does this say?"

Please contribute to the discussion on Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/Categorize-under-Hindu-religious-music/forum/FxCZI39IV0KVOU/Tx1JCLTG2YF7Q65/1/ref=cm_cd_notf_thread?_encoding=UTF8&asin=B004GW4ARM

Note that the music album being discussed is by the same Brown University artist who Hindus, including Rajan Zed were defending. Do they know she clinically never mentions Hinduism anywhere on her website despite being an aware religious studies graduate?

So when Americans repackage and sell Hindu devotional music they call it New Age? But Hindus selling the same get classified as World Music!

But when Americans sell Christian or Gospel music they call it just that. Only pagan music is called 'New Age'. But when Indians sell Hindu music they call it Devotional Music.

3.2.1 Swiss boys' refusals to shake female teacher's hand prompt $5,000 fine

25 May 2016                                                                                                                          

    After two Syrian boys in the town of Therwil, in Switzerland asked to be excused from shaking a female teacher's hand because they said it violated their faith, their canton announced on Wednesday that families of children who refuse to participate in the tradition that starts and ends the school day will be fined. The fine will be up to $5,000, the Swiss canton said 

 

"The public interest with respect to equality between men and women and the integration of foreigners significantly outweigh the freedom of conscience (freedom of religion) of the students, This differs from the wearing of a headscarf or absence of swimming lessons”…. Initially, school officials struck a compromise with the teens, saying they should not shake any teachers' hands to avoid discrimination. The canton's reversal, however, reignites an ongoing debate over how much European countries ought to accommodate immigrants' traditions and beliefs that conflict with their own, as the continent becomes home to unprecedented numbers of mostly Muslim asylum seekers.  

 

In much of Switzerland, the school day starts and ends with a handshake between student and teacher. But the 14- and 15-year-old brothers said shaking their female teacher's hand was against their faith, because they were prohibited from physical contact with the opposite sex, except for immediate family members.

The school district first tried to arrive at a solution by balancing freedom of religion with gender equality: The brothers would not shake any female or male teacher's hand.  

The Federation of Islamic Organizations in Switzerland refused to support the brothers' view, saying it is outside the mainstream. 

"Can the denial of shaking hands be more important than the Islamic commandment of mutual respect?" Montassar Ben Mrad, president of the organization, said in a statement. "The good relationship between teachers and students is a prerequisite for a good education and an effective integration," the group notes. 

Switzerland, though, has a history of clashing with the cultural traditions of its Islamic citizens – about 5 percent of its population. In 2009, for instance, voters approved a referendum that banned the construction of minarets

3.2.2 Muslims in Switzerland DEMAND Cross Be Removed From Swiss Flag

because it offends Them.

Please see http://www.barenakedislam.com/2016/01/17/muslims-demand-cross-be-removed-from-the-swiss-flag-because-they-find-it-offensive/


Muslims in Switzerland are demanding that the white cross be removed from the Swiss national flag because as a Christian symbol it “no longer corresponds to today’s multicultural Switzerland.” The Muslim group behind this demand known as the “Secondos,” began a nationwide campaign in October to urge Swiss citizens to change the flag to something that is “less offensive” to Muslims.

Gatestone Institute reports   <http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/2449/immigrants-swiss-flag-cross>:

The proposal to change the Swiss flag has been met with outrage across the political spectrum and is sure to fuel anti-immigrant sentiments in Switzerland. Sylvia Flückiger, a counselor with the conservative Swiss People’s Party (SVP), said the demands are: “Totally unacceptable. With our Swiss flag there is nothing to change. The next thing you know, they will demand even more, that we change our constitution.”

Marianne Binder, spokeswoman for the center-right Christian Democrats (CVP) said: “This is just what was missing, that we need to change our flag. The Swiss flag is part of Swiss identity, precisely because it is inviting for all to want to be involved…even the immigrants.”

Stefan Brupbacher, general secretary of the libertarian Free Democrats (FDP) said: “This is utter nonsense. The Swiss cross is an extremely successful and valuable global brand. It is a symbol of success and quality. We will tightly hold on to it, out of love for Switzerland.

Our comments – But the Muslims, even though they are only 5% of population, have the audacity to ask Swiss National flag to be changed. Hindu women everywhere are ashamed of wearing kunkum (tila) on their forehead

 

3.2.3 Family planning not for Muslims, says Turkey's Erdogan / 30 May 2016

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Monday that family planning and contraception were not for Muslim families.  He said it was the responsibility of mothers to ensure the continued growth of Turkey's population, which has expanded at a rate of around 1.3 percent in the last few years. "I will say it clearly... We need to increase the number of our descendants," he said in a speech in Istanbul.

 

"People talk about birth control, about family planning. No Muslim family can understand and accept that! "As God and as the great prophet said, we will go this way. And in this respect the first duty belongs to mothers."

 

Erdogan and his wife Emine have two sons and two daughters. His elder daughter Esra, has three children.

The Platform to Stop Violence Against Women, which campaigns to stop the killings of hundreds of woman every year, condemned Erdogan's comments as violating the rights of women. "You (Erdogan) cannot usurp our right to contraception, nor our other rights with your declarations that come out of the Middle Ages," the group said

In 2014, he described birth control as a "treason" which risked causing a whole generation to "dry up". And he has famously urged mothers to have four children, saying: "one (child) means loneliness, two means rivalry, three means balance and four means abundance."

According to the statistics office, Turkey's population rose to 78.741 million last year. The population in 2000 was less than 68 million. (Next day he said that each couple should produce at least 3 children)

 

Our comment – When similar suggestion was made to Hindus in Hindusthan even RSS Chief Bhagwat condemned that demand!

 

3.2.4 Egypt: Muslim mob attacks Christians, parade naked woman

CAIRO / 26 May 2016 View photos

A Muslim mob ransacked and torched seven Christian homes in a province south of the Egyptian capital, Cairo, after rumors spread that a Christian man had an affair with a Muslim woman, according to a statement by the local Orthodox Coptic church. The mother of the Christian man, who had fled the village, was publicly stripped of her clothes by the mob to humiliate her and paraded her naked on the streets, as they chanted Allahu Akbar, or "God is great. (If this is how Muslims treat Infidels today imagine what they would have done to Hindus at the time of partition in 1947)

Police have arrested six men suspected of taking part in the violence and are looking for 12 more.  President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi called for the culprits to be held accountable and gave the military a month to restore property damaged during the violence, at no cost to the owners.

The woman reported the incident to the police five days later, said Makarios, adding that she had initially found it too difficult to "swallow the humiliation" she suffered and go to the police.

Extramarital affairs or sex between unmarried couples are taboo among Muslims and Christians in Egypt. They often attract violent reactions in rural areas, where questions of honor can lead to deadly family feuds that endure for years or result in ostracizing the perpetrators.

Christian men cannot marry Muslim women in Egypt unless they convert to Islam first, but Muslim men can marry Christian women. An affair between a Christian man and a Muslim woman takes such sectarian sensitivities to a much higher and dangerous level and often lead to violence if found out.

Christians, who make up about 10 percent of Egypt's population of more than 90 million people, have long complained of discrimination in the mostly Muslim nation.

 

On Thursday 7 April 2016 we received a grim news from Glasgow

 

3.2.5 Asad Shah death: Shopkeeper 'killer' statement condemned

A man who issued a statement claiming he killed a Glasgow shopkeeper because he "disrespected" Islam has been condemned by Ahmadiyya Muslim leaders. He added: "If I had not done this others would and there would have been more killing and violence in the world."

Murderer Tanveer Ahmed, 32, from Bradford, said in a statement he killed 40-year-old Asad Shah as he had falsely claimed to be a prophet. Mr Shah was an Ahmadiyya, a group known for its peaceful interfaith concerns. Ahmadiyya Muslim leaders in Glasgow have now called for other Muslim leaders to condemn the statement.

The statement said: "This is deeply disturbing and sets an extremely dangerous precedent, as it justifies the killing of anyone - Muslim or non-Muslim - whom an extremist considers to have shown disrespect to Islam.

"In some countries Ahmadiyya Muslim members, Christians and people of other faiths are routinely attacked and murdered by extremists for accusations of blasphemy.

Mr Ahmed is accused of killing Mr Shah outside his shop in Glasgow's Shawlands area two weeks ago.

The shopkeeper, who had moved from Pakistan to Glasgow almost 20 years ago, was found with serious injuries outside his shop on Minard Road on 24 March. He was pronounced dead in hospital.

Mr Shah was killed just hours after he posted an Easter message on Facebook to his customers. The message said: "Good Friday and a very happy Easter, especially to my beloved Christian nation"

During the police investigation officers claimed the incident was "religiously prejudiced" and confirmed both men were Muslims.

Mr Ahmed has been charged with murder and made a second court appearance on Wednesday where he made no plea and was remanded in custody.

Our comments – So, Muslims will not tolerate even the slightest deviation. Ahamedias merely say that Muhammad was NOT the past prophet.

 

 

3.2.6 Rochdale grooming case:      Friday 8 April 2016

 Nine men have each been sentenced to up to 25 years in jail for a catalogue of serious sexual offences against teenage girls including rape of vulnerable teenage girls. Eight of the nine men jailed on Friday:  They were found guilty last month of abusing their victims, aged 13 to 22, between 2005 and 2013. There were two separate trials at Manchester Minshull Street crown court, which lasted a total of 15 weeks. A 10th man pleaded guilty and was sentenced last September.                                                                                                                 During the sentencing, Judge John Potter said the fact that the women, now in their 20s, had given evidence was a testament to their “bravery, courage and fortitude”..

The principal victim in the case, who was abused by all of the defendants, walked into a police station in 2012 claiming to know about “Rochdale grooming”, after news emerged of the convictions of a number of Asian men for grooming white girls for sex. (Note – the word Asian NOT Pakistani Muslims) The victim reported that when she was aged 14 and 15 she was repeatedly sexually groomed by a large number of men from the Rochdale area. She was described by prosecutors as an “extremely vulnerable young woman” who had had a difficult home life and a learning disability – said her phone number had been passed around and that hundreds of men would ring her wanting to meet for sex.

Many of the offences date back 10 years and were first reported shortly after they were committed. In some cases the victims decided they no longer wanted to cooperate with police inquiries, while in other cases the police decided not to pursue the allegations. The victims were later approached by detectives to give evidence after the principal complainant came forward in 2012.

Detective Ch Inspector Jamie Daniels, the senior investigating officer for Operation Doublet, said it had been an extremely complex case and commended the victims for their bravery. “Only with their support have we arrived at this point,” he said. “The process can be emotionally demanding and traumatic for the victims and we do not underestimate the courage this took.”

He said child sexual abuse was more than a criminal issue. “It is a social problem that we are working closely with our partners to tackle on many levels.  Then men are Afraz Ahmed, 33, Another defendant, 40, who cannot be named for legal reasons, Choudry Ikhalaq Hussain, of Rochdale, was convicted in his absence, aged 38 has escaped to Pakistan,  Mohammed Dauood, 38, of Burnley David Law, 46, of Ilkeston, Derbyshire, Rehan Ali, 27, of Blackley, and Kutab Miah, 35, of Rochdale, Abid Khan, 38, of Liverpool, and Mohammed Zahid, 54, of Rochdale, The 10th man, Mahfuz Rahman, 29, is serving a five and a half year sentence at Garth prison

 

4 Historical notes

4.1 Unknown history of Indian partition                                                                                     

  In February, Godbole delivered lectures on Rationalism of Veer Savarkar at Thane and Savarkar Smarak, Dadar (Mumbai). He produced some important historical facts hitherto unknown.                                                                                                                             

  (1) Savarkar had stated quite clearly – I never hated English for being English only as oppressors. Once we achieve our independence there must not be any hatred against them. We and they are creation of the same God.

Despite his bitter struggle against fanatical Muslims in Andaman Jail he had stated - I never hated or even despised Muslims, but should they wish to force their religion on others by force / terror I will resist them.

So, why was his image tarnished by his opponents?

Savarkar openly said, “ I am a Hindu, live like a Hindu and die as a Hindu.” Well known Marathi writer / comedian P L Deshpande had written, “In the 1930s if some one said that he was a Muslim or Christian we (young Hindus like him) were not upset, but if some one said that he was a Hindu we considered him a reactionary / intolerant.” No wonder likes of P L Deshpande tarnished image of Savarkar   

 

(2) There are five more reasons. One of them being cowardice of his opponents. Let us look at the facts

 

(a) World War II ended in 1945. Elections were held in India in 1945/46. During those Sardar Patel controlled Congress Party organization. Their candidates pretended that they were more staunch Hindus than Hindu Mahasabha. They will never agree to partition. Gandhi himself had said, “Congress wants to agree to partition, they will have to partition my body first.” Gullible Hindus voted overwhelming for Congress. It must be noted that at that time only 10% of population had the vote. Voters were middle class, educated, runners of businesses and industries.                                                                                                      

   What happened after the elections? Secret files note – The Congress Party ministers were far less tolerant of criticism than the British Rulers. They were also far more oppressive! And who says this? Pro-Congress Newspapers who had supported the Congress Party for a long time.

 

(b) 2 September 1946 Sardar Patel became Home Minister in New Delhi

     2 October 1946 (Gandhi-jayanti)  Police raided Savarkar’s home, under the pretext that     

     they were looking for hidden arms and ammunition.

     [After this, his house under surveillance 24/7 by two police officers.                                      

    All letters addressed to Savarkar Sadan used to be sent to Bhavani Shankar Road Post

    Office in Dadar, opened up and photographed. This practice continued even 10 /12

    years after passing away of Savarkar as his secretary Balarao was working from this  

   house for publication of Savarkar’s works.]

16 October 1946 – Noakhali massacre of Hindus in East Bengal. 150,000 Hindu men, women and children were killed by Muslims. Patel and Nehru showed no concern. They and so called progressives could have -                                                                                  

   (i) insisted that it is duty of any Government to protect its citizen. As the Muslim League Government has failed to do so, it must be dismissed under section 93 of Government of India Act 1935.                                                                                                                           

(ii) Governor of Bengal must punish all those guilty of this massacre.                               

(iii) The Viceroy and Governor should visit the affected area and assure Hindus of safety.

The problem was that those who were killed, raped or looted were Hindus and the Government was led by Muslim League, so humanity of so called progressives was not moved.                                                                                                                                

 Muslims tried the same tactic in Bihar, but as Hindus were prepared Muslims paid a heavy price. Immediately Viceroy and members of his council visited riot affected areas of Bihar! Nehru said, “I shall bomb the Hindus of Bihar!” Please read Horrors of Nehru Raj on our web-site www.satyashodh.com

 

(c) Just 4 months afterwards, Nehru and Patel decided to agree to partition without exchange of population. What will happen to public opinion? They got Public Security Measures Acts passed in all the provinces where Congress was in power. So, the entire British India under Congress Rule became a Police State. With these acts Nehru and Patel threw into dustbin even the Indian Penal Code. The provisions were tyrannical. No public assemblies of more than 5 people. No demonstrations, protest marches. No criticism of government in Newspapers or magazines. All such acts were passed by end of March 1947 and on 3 June 1947 Nehru and Patel publicly accepted partition without exchange of population. All these acts can be read in British Library (3rd floor), London. They are kept under Acts of 1947. Bombay Public Security Measures Act was going to be effective till March 1953.

As an example, when Dr Munje of Nagpur, a prominent leader died March 1948 there could not be any public mourning in Nagpur as people could not gather in groups of more than 5!

 

(d) Congress leaders agreed to pay Pakistan Rs 55 crores as Gandhi had gone on fast until death. But even this was not done honestly. Gandhi had stated openly that he was going to fast indefinitely for Hindu Muslim unity! So, how was this achieved as soon as Government of India released 55 crores of rupees to Pakistan?

 

(e) In English there are two terms - Assets and Liabilities. Pakistan wanted share of assets, then what about liabilities? British India had debts of Rs1,200 crores. Pakistan should have accepted Rs300 crores as their share! This would have bankrupted Pakistan. No one talks about that. If Sardar Patel was an iron man he should have shouted, “You want partition, you take share of assets and liabilities.” He did no such thing. The Government of India communiqué stating that they were releasing Rs 55 crores to Pakistan refers to an agreement between the two Dominion States which mentions Rs300 crores, but Pakistan was to repay that amount later at their convenience – which in practice meant never. Why was Sardar Patel so generous to Pakistan? No one has raised this question.

 

The British were very crafty. Look closely at Indian Independence Act 1947. It sets up two Dominion states India and Pakistan. AND India (after partition) was to be the successor to British Raj (Krishna Menon had mentioned this during a speech at UN when discussing Kashmir). So, all the assets and liabilities of British India were inherited by India (after partition). The British knew that Gandhi / Nehru and Patel were always more generous to Muslims than they. Just compare the Simon Commission report and the Communal Award which was accepted by Gandhi / Nehru / Patel. Indian independence Act could have easily divided assets and liabilities of British India, but then that would have bankrupted Pakistan. So, the British left it to be agreed between the two dominion states! We know the result.  The astonishing thing is that Indian budget still shows this Rs300 crores as outstanding from Pakistan! Rs 300 crores of 1947 (10% of revenue of India in 1947) is still Rs 300 crores in 2015.  What an accountant!

 

(f) Gandhi was assassinated on 30 January 1948. Just a few days later Muslims of Godhra rioted. (Yes it is same Godhra where Sardar Patel once practiced as a Lawyer).Collector Pimputkar was attacked. His life was saved by his body-guard. Police had to open fire. Some 30 Muslim rioters were killed. Home Minister Morarji Desai promptly compensated the families of those Muslims. But how dare the Muslims riot in the first place? What sort of an iron man was Patel?  Moreover, where was Bombay Public Securities Measures Act when Brahmins were attacked, their properties burnt and looted after assassination of Gandhi. Some 300 Brahmins were killed, some were burnt to death. Their families were not compensated by Morarji Desai. No one was even prosecuted for crimes against Brahmins.

 

(g) Horrors of partition are well known, but in 1950 anti-Hindu riots again erupted in East Pakistan. Taya Zenkin, reporter of Manchester Guardian was there and had seen the massacre of Hindus. She later travelled to New Delhi and met Sardar Patel. He told her bluntly, “We are going to protect our Muslims no matter what happens to Hindus in Pakistan. …… You will say that just as Pakistan is driving out Hindus we should drive out Muslims from India – that will be good. Not so. If that were to happen we will be a nation of criminals…… so you see we shall keep on shooting as many Hindus as necessary to protect our Muslims.” (Reporting India by Taya Zenkin 1962, pp 58-59)

 

(h) We must not forget that the same Sardar Patel recalled 400,000 Muslims who had gone to Pakistan and resettled them in India. Please read Golwalkar Guruji’s Bunch of Thoughts.

 

As the power remained in hands of such cowards for a long time, they tarnished Savarkar’s image. 

 

4.2 Gross ignorance about partition

 On 31 January 2015 we found following Mail on Rajiv Malhotra discussion group

“I am really surprised at the ignorance and naivety of the suggestion of Akhand Bharat.       I am a Hindu and I can categorically state that any Akhand Bharat combining the different countries of the region will be suicidal for Hindus. The partition of Hindus was the greatest parting gift to India by the British.  After centuries of foreign rule Hindus got a free country of their own.

Our comments – This gentleman (Doctor) is blissfully ignorant of the fact that partition took place without exchange of population.

 

4.3 Winston Churchill on Mohammedanism

An E Mail has been circulating pointing out that Churchill was aware of dangers of Islam.

We received the same from two friends. So, we asked them –

 * Indian Army had 70 % Muslim soldiers. Did it alarm Churchill?

** In October 1946 was he horrified at the Noakhali massacre of 150,000 Hindus in Bengal? Did he say that the Muslim League led state government is incapable of maintaining Law and order and therefore must be dismissed and the Governor should take back power? Did he insist that those guilty of the massacre must be punished? (On the contrary he wanted Muslim league to remain in power)

*** At the time of Indian Independence Act did he say that Assets and Liabilities of British India MUST both be divided before partition?

**** Did he insist that there must be exchange of population before partition?

> Was he horrified at the carnage of Hindus in East Pakistan in 1950?

The answer to all these questions is NO. So, why praise Churchill?

 

Our friends replied, “ We simply forwarded the E Mail as you may be interested.”

4.4 Ancient History                                                                                                                  

 4.4.1 / 4,000 Year Old Vishnu Statue Discovered in Vietnam

On 21 March 2015, we received an interesting mail from Shree Chowgule of Goa

URL:  http://www.speakingtree.in/spiritual-blogs/seekers/mysticism/4-000-year-old-vishnu-statue-discovered-in-vietnam

According to a press release from the Communist Party of Vietnam’s Central Committee (CPVCC) the Vishnu sculpture is described as “Vishnu stone head from Oc Eo culture, dated back 4,000-3,500 years.”

Recently the Government of Vietnam, despite its official Communist doctrine, has developed many programs and projects highlighting Vietnam’s ancient religious heritage. Its scholarly and archeological research and investigations are legitimate and its conclusions are authoritative.

The Vishnu sculpture was discovered in the region of Southern Vietnam's Mekong Delta. The Mekong (Ma Ganga) River is named after the Ganges River of India. The entire region was once the home to several ancient and prosperous Vedic Kingdoms and many intriguing and unique Vedic artifacts have been discovered.

The Vishnu sculpture was officially presented during the 5th Quang Nam Heritage Festival which opened on June 21, 2013 in Hoi An City. The exhibition highlights many ancient objects dated from the Dong Son – Sa Huynh – Oc Eo eras of Vietnam’s ancient history.

….. The entire history of Hinduism and Vedic culture, as taught is the academic institutions of the world, has been built upon a false construct. According to mainstream academia Vedic ‘religion’ or Hinduism did not exist until the alleged ‘Aryans’ invaded India circa 1500 BC. An even later date is given to Vaishnavism which is speculated to have been derived from animist Sun worship. Yet here we have a highly evolved art form depicting Lord Vishnu in the Far South East region of Asia dated to somewhere between 2000 BC to 1500 BC. ……

 It is in Vietnam that we now have the world’s most ancient example of Indic style Vedic Vaishnava art. Thus it stands to reason that if Vedic Vaishnava art, culture and religion flourished 4000 years ago in prehistoric Vietnam it was undoubtedly flourishing in ancient India as well.

Once again science and archeology have confirmed the Vedic conclusion. As the Vedic literature states 5000 years ago India was home to a highly evolved and advanced civilization. It was centered on its sacred traditions. The worship of the Supreme Lord Vishnu, Lord Shiva, Lakshmi and Durga was widespread and in fact spanned the entire globe.

The recognizably Indic forms of the Vedic traditions spanned the globe from the Philippines to the Middle East and Siberia to Australia. Yet the same Divinities were worshiped and the same traditions were practiced throughout the world.

The many recent Vedic discoveries from Vietnam present a challenge to Modern India and its leadership. India is home to many startling and amazing artifacts yet they sit ignored and crumbling. In many cases looters and vandals have destroyed many priceless examples of India’s ancient heritage. India’s leading academics and governing bodies are silent and if they do speak of India’s ancient Hindu heritage it is only to cast doubts and disparage India’s indigenous Vedic culture and Hindu traditions.

Astounding and marvelous ruins and artifacts that would be the pride of any other nation and people are, in general, ignored and forgotten and left to crumble into oblivion. Often they are threatened by the efforts of the various Governmental bodies in the name of progress such as the National Highways Authority of India’s (NHAI) recent attempts to destroy a 1000 year old Shiva temple in Tamil Nadu.

 

It is a great irony that the officially atheistic Communist Government of Vietnam exhibits more pride in its ancient Hindu heritage than the ‘Secular’ Democratic Government of India. The entire South Asian and SE Asian region was once home to many thriving Hindu Kingdoms and civilizations. We are fortunate that the former Hindu lands of Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, Laos and Kampuchea are leading the way towards the reclamation of our ancient Vedic heritage.

 

Our comment – There are signs of spread of Hindu Dharma all over the world. It was Nehru’s anti-Hindu phobia that prevented us from exploring our past History. Any Hindu Architect will say, “Hindus had no architecture. It is all Muslim.” During the British Raj (1927 to 46) Prasanna Kumar Acharya published 7 volumes on Hindu Architecture. These are kept in India Office Library. One can see the volumes on shelf as soon as we enter the library. To my dismay I found in 1980s that no one has opened the volumes, as some pages were still stuck together. I asked the librarian to use knife to open up the pages. So scared are Hindus of the word Hindu Architecture! It is even more astonishing that the publication was sponsored by a British Governor of U.P. Now read the next News -

 

4.4.2 / 32,000 Year Old Narasimha Lion-Man Statue Found in Germany

On 15 March we had received the following E Mail From: "IndiaDivine.org" <info@indiadivine.org>

 

Many news stories about prehistoric finds and their possible meaning in terms of archaeology and social history have reached the world in recent decades. One of them, found in South Germany, put scientists around the world in a state of amazement some years back. The centerpiece is the “lion man”, an idol that is made from the tusk of a mammoth in the form of a human body with a lion head. Amazingly it is dated to be 32,000 years old.

 

Our comments - 32,000 years back there was NO Jesus and NO prophet Mohammed. So, how did people live?  Did they have no morals? No sense of right and wrong? Would today's Muslims say that they had all gone to hell as they did not practise Islam?

  

4.4.3 The CIA, the NSA and Noah's Ark

On 23 January 2015 Come Carpenter sent us the following E Mail –

 The following report goes through the official documents declassified by various US Government Intelligence agencies regarding the alleged sighting of the remains of Noah's ark on Mount Ararat in Turkey. The point here is to show that the US is quite willing to investigate information from the Bible and treat it as strategically important, restricted knowledge. 

 

On the other hand in India a misplaced secular viewpoint makes it politically incorrect to take seriously any historical data provided by ancient scriptures and epics which are to be seen as purely fictional. Of course main western governments are quite in agreement with that prejudice which indirectly discredit non-biblical religious records. If the CIA can investigate Noah's Ark why can't India research its "mythical|" history?

4.4.4 Australian aboriginal memories of big sea level changes

On 23 January 2015 Come Carpenter also sent us following E Mail -

Kumarakandam or Lemuria...

 

The old legends narrated by Australians are consonant with Indian ancient literature about sunken cities and even continents (kumarakandam) and about a lower sea level at the time of the Ramayana when the "Ran sethu" was above the water.
