31st Night & New Year Celebrations - Islandwide Quthbah

Coming Friday, 31st December, 2010 will be a very good opportunity to remind and educate our youth about the importance of abstaining from 31st Night and New Year celebrations. This is very essential now where there is a little/no proper Dawa work is done targeting the Muslim youth who are stranded in western culture and all sort of Jaahiliyyath. Sometimes our youth are in the forefront of organizing such festivities ignoring very basic Islamic principles and guidelines.


Hence, MuslimWatch kindly requests the Mosque trustees, Khatheebs and Ulama to make use of next week Friday Quthbah sermons to address this issue and to prevent our younger generation from Fithna. This may turn away some hearts from evils and prevent them from attending those celebrations in the same night.

“December 6“ Babari Masjid True Story!

When start this problem?8910761245
1949 On December 23rd, Muslims finished their night prayer and left to their home. A shock was waiting for them, who came for fajr prayer. Inside the Mosque a mob kept Rama, Laxamana, Sita statues and claimed that their God took avatar (appeared) inside the mosque and they started agitating against innocent Muslims.

An FIR was filed at faizabad police station. Afterwards central and state government banned Muslims to conduct prayer inside the mosque and this became one of the important issue in Indian history.
Then Innocent Hindu's mind were brain-washed with hatred feeling against Muslims by spreading a false propaganda that "Babri Majid was built by demolishing Ram Temple"

If the propaganda of Saffron Group " Babri majid was built after demolishing Ram Temple" is true then no Muslims will fight for this issue. Because in Islam, demolishing other religious Temple is strictly prohibited. Due to their false claim about Ram Temple, Muslims are fighting to get back their mosque.
We don't want to divert the subject by exposing the comment of Chatterji, AK majumdhar, Nehru that RAM is an imaginary character.

Because the subject is to discuss by doing research whether any Ram temple exists in the disputed location ? Whether Majid was built in that location by demolishing Ram temple? Not about the existence of Ram or whether it is imaginary character or not!!!
Even Ram is an imaginary character; no Muslims will accept the demolition of Ram temple and build a mosque in that location.

Was Ram born at Ayodhya ?
We'll see how the claim of Ram born in that disputed location will be true.

Whatever the decision Hindus want to take, it should not be fundamentally taken from the comment of RSS or any other saffron organization. It should be taken from Hindus Vedas and Purunas. In fact, it would be opposite to Hindu ideology, if some decision taken apart from this jurisdiction of Vedas.
Valmiki wrote first about Ram and his words explained everything about Ram in crystal clear format. Valmiki explained in his Ramayana that he born at DHIREDHA Yuga.

A basic measurement unit of time, to denote the Hindu's belief of time is Yuga. There are four Yugas.
Kirudha yuga 17,28,000 ( 17 lakhs, 28 thousands ) years
Dhiredha Yuga 12,96,000 ( 12 lakhs, 96 thousand) years
Duvaba Yuga 8,64,000 ( 8 lakhs, 64 thousand ) years
Kali Yuga 4,32,000 ( 4 lakhs, 32 thousand ) years
Now we are living in the time of Kali Yuga. Kali Yuga starts before 3102 years of Christ. Now 2009 finished after Christ. So 5110 years finished after kali yuga starts.

Duvaba yuga was before Kali Yuga and Ram didn't born during this time. Before this was Dhiredha Yuga and even Ram born during last stage of this Yuga and according to Valmiki Ramayana's Judgment " Ram should have born before 8,69,110 years ( 8,64,000 + 5110 )
Like Valmiki Ramayana told about Ram's Yuga, he specified the birth place too that is "He born at Ayodhya city "

That means " Ayodhya" should exists before 8 Lakhs, 64 thousand years. A report was submitted on 1976, 77 by central government archeological department regarding " when Ayodhya appeared?". This report in its 52, 53 page explained that "A place name called Ayodhya in which people started dwelling was before 700 BC.

That means, before 2708 years, there would be no Ayodhya according to their archeological research.
Afterwards this was re-researched by C.P.Lal and K.N Theetjit , a notable historian. They also found that it was true whatever the archeological department found.

Valmiki told that Ram born before 8 lakhs 69 thousand years at Ayodhya, but it is crystal clear that there was nothing called Ayodhya at that time.
How Hindus can conclude by neglecting Ramayana and archeological finding?
The age of this Ayodhya is 2708 years. But this is not the one explained by Ramayana. May be it is in different place. It is general to find many places in the same name. By considering these facts, they have to come for conclusion, which will not contradict with Ramayana and research facts.

There is lot of testimonials in Ramayana that Ram born at Ayodhya which is different from the existing one.
While speaking about Ayodhya, Ramayana spoke about Sarayu River. Sarayu River exists 1.5 yojan distances from Ayodhya. (1.5 yojan means 23 kilometers )
Even though there's one river called Sarayu at Ayodhya, it's running inside the city, not 23 kilometers away from the city.

That means, Ayodhya and Sarayu River told by Ramayana is not the existing one. Ramayana teachings will be correct when you believe Sarayu River flows 23 kilometers away from Ayodhya.
People are simply neglecting Hinduism, if they consider existing Ayodhya is same like Ayodhya explained in Ramayana.

Also Valmiki Ramayana explains that " Sarayu River join with Ganga". But this Sarayu River mingles with Raabthi River. What we learnt from this? Ramayana doesn't denote this Ayodhya and Sarayu river. Also Valmiki Ramaya explains Sarayu river flows from east to west. But Sarayu river in UP flow from west to east.

A researcher, Saer Singh Identified a truth. There is one Ayodhya at Nepal. 20 kilometers away from that city one river is flowing from east to west. Also it mingles with Ganga.
So, those who believe Ram born at Ayodhya, which is at Uttarpradesh, are neglecting Ramayana and its ideology.

Real Ayodhya should be one, which was explained by the Ramayana with all testimonials.
was Ram temple existed at Ayodhya ?
Babar Majid was build at 1528. We'll see whether any truth present with the opinion of " Mir Baahi" a minister of Baber, who was accused for demolishing Ram Temple in the disputed location"
RSS claimed that Ram temple was built by king Vikramathithya. Vikramathidya is general name like Chola,Pandya kings. Chandra Gupta, samutra Gupta kings are called in the name of Vikramathidya.
They contradict in specifying the actual king who really built the Ram temple. There is not fact in their claim.
Gupta kings ruled some part of U.P during the period 300 AD to 1100 AD. These kings who ruled for 800 years are called as Vikramathidya.

During the period 300 AD to 1100 AD, there was not even a smell of human at Ayodhya, according to the chief of Indian Archeological department.
P.P Lal who submitted research report and was published at famous magazines" The Week" (25.02.1990) and "Sunday Times" (20.11.1987 ). In that report, after showing several evidences, he was confidently explained that, at Ayodhya during that period of 300 – 1100 AD, there was no human, building, temple or anything.

In some place, which is untouched by human, how can they build a temple? How Baber can demolish a temple which was not existed? I request Hindu Brothers and sisters to think about this.
When Ram was worshipped as God?
If temple to be built for Ram, it should be built after Ram was worshipped as God. Now Hindus are worshiping Ram as God, but they didn't do it before. Ram was not considered as God, Especially during the period of 300-1100 AD, which was claimed by RSS, the time when Ram temple was built.
Amar Simha of AD 600, released many Sanskrit Poetry resources in the name of " Amara Kosa". In that, those who are worshipped as God in India were specified. Ram name was not in the list. So Hindus during that period were not considering Ram as GOD's Avatar and its considered as big testimonial.
A Sadhu called Lakhsmidhar, collected the information of all sacred place up to 11th century (until last time of Gupta Dynasty). Ayodhya Ram temple is not existed in that.

If Ram temple was build during Gupta period, why it was not included in the list of sacred place?
Same like that, S.S.Iyer , a notable research scholar, published book called " Indian Temples, Historic notes". He didn't specify anything about Ram temple. He noted five temples which was built by Vikramathidya. Ayodhya Ram temple is not there.

At 1989 November 12, IAS officer Ramachandra Kadri wrote one article at "Radiance". He referred so many evidences with Encyclopedia like Britannica and comment that only after 1100 AD, Ram was worshipped as God.

That means, until the last period of Gupta kings, Ram was not worshipped as God. Can any Hindu who has real conscience, believe that Ram temple was build during the Gupta period?
If we want to tell more clearly, Valmiki wrote Ramayana in Sanskrit. Sanskrit was not popularly spoken by all people and only Brahmins knew about that. Because of this Ram was not considered as God.

Valmiki Ramayana was translated and released in Hindi by Tulsi Das. After that, Ramayana was very famous among people. After Tulsi Das translated Ramayana in Hindi, people start considering Ram as God's Avatar.
What's the time of Tulsi Das ? Tulsi Das Lived during the period of Baber (in Ayodhya ), which was claimed for demolition of Ram temple. Baber ruled during 1500 AD and Tulsi was living under that rule.
Ramayana was translated in Hindi during the rule of Baber and that time Ram was not considered as God. So it becomes true that Hindu people didn't have any knowledge about him.

How Ram was worshiped as GOD when Ramayana was not spread across people? How temple was build for him? Dear Hindu Brothers and sisters, think about this.

India's first president was Dr. Radha Krishnan. His son Gopal who was good Hindu devotee and very good research scholar too. In his research article, he proclaimed that "There was no temple for Ram before 1750 AD, in any part of India. He confidently declared that "All Ram temple belongs to 18th century".
if Ram temple was not existed before 200 years, how Baber demolish Ram temple at Disputed location of Ayodhya. I request every citizen, to think about this.

The truth is, the foundation of Babri Majid was laid by Ibrahim Lodi, on 1524. He was unable to continue the service for long time and he was killed in war by Baber. Then, Baber build a Majid, with the foundation laid by Ibrahim Lodi. So it is untrue to tell that Baber demolished the temple.
Will Baber Demolish temple ?
So far, the evidences provided here is enough for everyone, who can really able to distinguish between good and bad. For debate purpose, even though if any temple was there in the disputed location, Baber would not demolish that.

Because, in same Ayothya, for five temples like Hunumangiri ,Jenmasthan, Baber provided incentives by writing in brass . This been safeguarded still now by temple management and was reiterated with evidences by Ramrasha Thiribathi.

How a person will demolish a temple, who provided incentives to many temples?
Also the population of Muslims during Baber reign would be meager when compared with present population. Sovereignty of the kingdom will be maintained only by the support of majority Hindus. Baber would be thrown-out from his throne, by agitators of Hindu Majority, if their temple was demolished. No king will be involved in such activities, if he really wants to retain his power.

Hindus during that time were not involved in any riots or agitation, but only welcomed all Mughal heirs like Babar, his son Humayun, his son Akbar. This shows the courtesy and kindness were showered by Mughal emperors towards Hindu majority.

During the last time of Baber, he wrote one WILL to his son Humayun written in Persian language and it is been preserved still today at Central government's National museum at Delhi. In that he gave advise as "Dear son, you are going to rule a country where Hindus are in majority. They are respecting COW as God. So don't eat Cow's meat (Beef) at any instance.

How a Good Citizen can believe that Baber demolished a temple, who advised his son to renounce the eating habit of Cow's meat (beef)?
Guru Nanak who founded Sikh religion was considered as big enemy during Baber's reign. He rigorously opposed Baber, especially for the issues related with women. If Baber demolished the temple, he would have indicated that with his strong resentment. But history commenting that he went to Ayodhya and enjoyed the beauty of Babri Majid's Structure.

Person like him who lived in those years only knew that whether Baber constructed Majid by demolishing temple. In such case, he would never enjoy its building structure.

Some falsely imagine and claim that people didn't oppose the rule because of Babar's tyrant nature.
Baber was neither hated by Hindu people nor was he was a tyrant king. This is the truth. For debate purpose, if we consider Baber was a tyrant king, it would not be true.

After Baber, his kingdom was ruled by his son Humayun. After 25 years of Baber's death, his grandson Akbar ruled the kingdom. He gave up Islam and was following New Religion Din-ilahi, for which he was the founder. Akbar was like a Hindu king and even he got appreciation from many saffron organizations.

If Baber demolished the temple, it should have been noticed by many people who lived during the period of Akbar too. They don't need to worry about Akbar and they would have asked to rebuild the temple which was demolished by his grandfather. Surely, Akbar would have satisfied such people, if his grandfather would have demolished such structure. People could have requested, only if temple was demolished!!! But there happened no such incidents.

We'll leave that. Even after the Mughals era was ended by Britishers, this issue was not raised by anyone until 1948. There was no case registered too.

In 200 years rule of British:
No case was registered during British rule against the demolition of mosque and nobody requested British government to get back their temple.
Problem suddenly rose to its full vigor only after December 23, 1949, when a mob placed Ram idol inside the mosque.

In Ayodhya there are more than 30 Temples which manifest about Ram's birth place. Hindu scholars identified many places as Ram's birth place and they didn't include Babri Majid among them.
This was the reality, until saffron group diverted the attention of Hindus by such false claims.

Saffron Group discovered that by evoking extreme hatred among Hindus and Muslims, they can capture the opportunity to rule India from Congress. Finally they captured the rule by cheating innocent Hindu citizens who believe that" All the glitters are Gold ".

Dear Hindu Brothers and Sisters!!!
We'll strive to preserve the UNITY.
We'll neglect communal forces, which have vested interest in creating extreme friction to the development of our country.
We'll work hard for the economic development of our country and for its prosperous future.

Iraq, Afganistan, Kashmeer what would be next? SRI LANKA......

Starting Point
Last Week News: US agencies have passed on intelligence inputs to India that Lashkar-e-Toiba has some 200 cadres present in Sri Lanka.

The Sri Lanka government rejected these reports saying there was no evidence to prove that the group was in the island. Therefore, it is extremely important that the US provide details about this alleged LeT influence in Sri Lanka in view of the serious Implications of this disclosure to Sri Lankan Muslims.

There are liars in Admiral Willard’s camp. The so-called US led Western war against terrorism turned out to be a war against Islam and Muslims. Now after Afghanistan and Iraq they have turned their attention on Pakistan that is bleeding. The question is whether this statement is a pretext for US plan to expand its agenda to cover Muslim living as minorities in Sri Lanka and other countries in the region.

But Sri Lankan Medias started their work....

Wahhabist terriorist traning in Sri Lanka? THE ISSUES
By Ranga Jayasuriya
Last week, we cautioned that unregistered mosques of a Wahhabist Islamic sect would become a hotbed for propagating religious extremism.
We reported quoting a Muslim community leader that out of 200 mosques which had recently been opened by Tawhid Jamath, which follows an austere brand of Islam, only 35 had been registered with relevant the authorities.
Our report came in the wake of Indian media reports which alleged that a Laskhar- e- Taiba terrorist arrested by Indian police over a bomb attack in Pune had confessed that he received his terror training in Colombo. However, Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa, in a statement posted on the defence ministry website, denied that extremist groups operating in Pakistan had received training on Sri Lankan soil.
Gotabaya Rajapaksa, stressed that Sri Lanka was free of terrorists and there was no ground for terrorists to receive training on Sri Lankan soil.
But, if anything to go by, the rise and spread of Wahhabism, the austere brand of Islamic teaching which follows a literal interpretation of the Quran, and is the core ideological force of al Qaeda led Salafi Jihadi revival, is a cause for concern.
A mainstream Muslim preacher in Colombo, who requested anonymity, citing fears of reprisals by Tawhid followers, says the Tawhid sect has got its followers in key positions in government ministries, bought air times in the Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation and revised school text books to give a Wahhabi outlook.
He says the Tawhid sect is generously funded by Saudi Arabia, of which Wahhabism is the state religion.
A number of charity organizations function as front organizations for Tawhid Jamath.
Among them are International Islamic Religious Organization (IIRO), Islamic Religious Organization (IRO), Al Muslimath, and ACTG etc, which maintain close links with Tamil Nadu Tawhid Jamath (TNTJ) founded by leading Wahhabi preacher P. Jainul Abideen (PJ).
He admits that these groups help the poor, but warns that they have used charity work to propagate religious extremism.
"They helped victims of tsunami in the East, then subtly preached them their version of Islam"
"People were naturally obliged to listen to them, because they had already been assisted by Wahhabists in their hour of need. Wahhabists exploited that weak spot," he says.
The spread of Wahhabism in the East, most notably in the predominantly Muslim town of Kattankudy is attributed to aggressive proselytizing by the Tawhid sect, backed by generous financial support to new converts.
The flow of money to the Wahhabist sect from the Middle East should be monitored, he recommends.
He says Petro dollars have been used to buy over the key officials in government ministries. "These officials help Wahhabists to operate and propagate with ease," he says.
Even the religious text book committee of the department of education has been infiltrated by Tawhid followers, he alleged, adding that school text books have been revised to provide a Wahhabi outlook of Islam.
"By this pace, fundamentalist indoctrination would start right there at schools," he alleged.
Another community leader Riyaz Sally, Chairman of Islamic Solidarity Fund alleges that some private Muslim international schools propagate Wahabbism to students.
"When children come home, brainwashed by 'incorrect' religious teaching, they begin to question moderate faith," he says.
Mainstream Sri Lankan Muslims follow Islamic traditions infused with mystical Sufism. Shrines, where Islamic holy men were buried had been part and parcel of most Sufi mosques, many of which are centuries- old.
Wahhabism, derived from the teachings of Muhammad ibn Abd-al-Wahhab, and eighteenth century religious zealot, after whom the movement is named, decries shrines as un-Islamic.
"When children, who are taught Wahhabism in schools come home and see their parents paying homage to a saint enshrined in a tomb, they then say parents are not Muslims," says Sally.
"I know some families have split because of Wahhabist indoctrination," he says.
Tawhid followers who, through subtle mechanizations, took control of the trustee committees of centuries-old Sufi mosques are infringing on Sufi practices.
"For instance, a Tawhid group took control of the trustee board of a mosque in Kollupitiya and shut down the centuries old shrine which devotees visited daily," he says.The dispute ended only after the Court ordered the shrine to be open.
Sally alleges that the Tawhid sect is using air time in SLBC to propagate Wahhabism.
"They have bought two hours of air time from 12 noon to 2 pm of the SLBC Muslim Service, and through air waves, are often challenging practices of mainstream Muslims," he said.
He says he complained to the chairman of the SLBC, but his protest was in vain.
"This program is radicalizing housewives," he alleged.
Saudi Arabia is criticized by international groups, including Freedom House for exporting its 'hate ideology'.
Freedom House in an earlier report said that Wahhabi publications in a number of mosques in the United States were preaching that Muslims should not only "always oppose" infidels "in every way", but "hate them for their religion ... for Allah's sake", that democracy "is responsible for all the horrible wars of the 20th century", and that Shia and certain other non-Wahhabi Muslims were infidels.
Saudi Arabia had spent 87 billion US Dollars to propagate Wahhabism abroad during last two decades according to a report of the US Senate Committee on Judiciary, and Subcommittee on Terrorism, Technology and Homeland Security in 2003.
The Islamic Religious leader, quoted earlier in this report alleged that handsome Saudi funding was behind the mushrooming of Wahhabi mosques.
Though mosques should be registered with the Waqf board, the majority of Tawhid mosques disregard this requirement.
"The Tawhid sect purchases houses at exorbitant prices and turns them into Madrasas. They indoctrinate poor local youth in Wahabbism in these places."
He says Wahabbism in the East has taken a violent turn, expressing fears that Jihadi groups in the area are possessing firearms. Last year, several Muslim groups handed over weapons responding to a government announcement.
He alleges the Jamiyathul Ulema, the leading association of Islamic theologians in the island, is turning a blind eye to the rise of extremism.
"In 2009, after media reported about Jihadi groups in the East, the Jamiyathul Ulema issued a media statement denying the existence of such groups. But, what do they say now after an illegal radio station operated by the Tawhid sect in Beruwala was seized by the police?" he asks.
Two months back, police raided an unauthorized radio station operated by Tawhid followers in Beruwela and seized equipment worth 10 million rupees.
"A decade back, our mosques were places of peace; we went there in peace, prayed in peace and came out with peace of mind," he says.
"This new sect has caused quite a lot of disharmony among Muslims."
"The government should act now, before it is too late. The flow of funds from the Middle East should be monitored. And teaching in these madrasas should be regulated and monitored," he says, adding :
"Fundamentalist threat is real."
...............


The frightening situation worldwide caused by the US led so called war on terrorism is such today that every Muslim with a beard and a head cap and every Muslim woman with a Hijab have been branded as terrorist and humiliated. Muslims have been attacked and killed all over under various pretexts. Muslim refugees walking in sheer desperation in search of shelter with their meager belongings have become frequent common sight worldwide.

Helpless Muslims worldwide are seething with anger at the west.

This is the reason why Sri Lankan Muslims take serious note of Admiral Robert Willard’s disclosures. Sri Lanka has its own share of anti-Muslim elements which could exploit this statement to suit their own agendas. If Admiral Wilfred was speaking the truth he must come up with hard evidence so that the authorities in the island can verify.

WHO KILLED HEMANT KARKARE?

Photo of female Hindu 'terrorist' Pragya Thakur (centre in yellow), who was allegedly trained at India's Bhosla Military School. (http://specials.rediff.com/news/2008/nov/04sld1.htm)


On 15 december 2008, at Samar magazine, the editorial was entitled: Who Killed Hemant Karkare?

Among the points made:

1. In India, a thorough professional probe was being carried out into a terror network involving Hindu extremist organisations and people linked to the Indian security services.

The lead investigator was Hemant Karkare, Chief of the Maharasthra Anti-Terrorism Squad, whose office was in the centre of Mumbai.

Karkare and two of his colleagues were killed during the Mumbai attacks of November 2008.

Karkare

2. Hemant Karkare "was unearthing a terror network unlike any that has been seen thus far."

The investigation started by tracing the motorcycle used to plant bombs in Malegaon, North East of Mumbai, in September 2006.

The motorcycle was traced to a Hindu nun called Pragyasingh Thakur.

Reportedly, the man who planted the bombs was Ramji.

Thakur, in a cellphone conversation with Ramji, asked why more people had not been killed.

Lt Col Srikant Purohit of Indian military intelligence

3. Karkare's team discovered that Lt.Col. Srikant Purohit, of Indian military intelligence, had got 60 kg of RDX explosive from government supplies for use in the terrorist attack on the Samjhauta Express train in February 2007.

In this attack, 68 people were killed.

Lashkar-e-Taiba and other Islamist groups had originally been accused of carrying out the attack.

4. The Chief Minister of Gujarat, Narendra Modi (a Hindu), and BJP Prime Ministerial candidate, L.K.Advani (a Hindu) accused Karkare of being a 'desh drohi' or traitor, "a charge that in India carries a death penalty".

The Shiv Sena (Hindu group) offered legal aid to those accused of the terrorist attack.

On November 26, just before the Mumbai 'terrorist' attack, the police in Pune received a call from an anonymous caller saying in Marathi that Karkare would be killed in a bomb blast within two or three days.


Karkare

5. Assistant Police Inspector Sachin Vaze was one of those who disliked Karakare.

Vaze, a member of Hindu nationalist group Shiv Sena, together with three colleagues, was charged with murder, criminal conspiracy, destruction of evidence and concealment of a dead body in the case of Khwaja Yunus shortly before the terrorist attack.

(Bombay police stage-managed his "encounter", The Milli Gazette.)

Vaze had been dismissed for corruption, extortion and links with the underworld.



6. The death of Karkare.

The earliest reports, presumably from the police, said that Karkare had been killed at the Taj.

In the early hours of the 27th, IBNlive showed footage of a shootout at the Metro cinema , where an unconscious man who looks like Karkare and wearing the same light blue shirt and dark trousers (but without any blood on his shirt or the terrible wounds we saw on his face at his funeral) is being pulled into a car by two youths in saffron shirts.

The commentary reports that there were two vehicles, a Toyota Qualis and Honda City, from which the occupants were firing indiscriminately.

Later we were given two accounts of the killings where the venue is shifted to a deserted lane without cameras or eye-witnesses.

The first account is by 'arrested gunman' Ajmal Amir Kasab.

According to Kasab, just two gunmen, he and Ismail, went to Cama, a government hospital for women and children used mainly by the poor.

Initially, according to the police, Kasab claimed he and Ismail had killed Karkare, Salaskar and Kamte.

Later, in his confession, he claimed that while coming out of the hospital, he and Ismail saw a vehicle stop some distance away. A police officer got out and started firing at them, hitting Kasab on the hand so that he dropped his AK47, but Ismail opened fire on the officers in the car until they stopped firing. There were three bodies in the vehicle, which Ismail removed, and then drove off in it with Kasab.

The other account is by police constable Arun Jadhav.

According to him, Karkare, Salaskar, Kamte, a driver and four police constables including himself were driving down the alley from Victoria Terminus to the back entrance of Cama (barely a ten-minute drive) in their Toyota Qualis to check on injured police officer Sadanand Date when two gunmen emerged from behind trees by the left side of the road and sprayed the vehicle with bullets, killing all its passengers except Jadhav.

They then dragged out the three officers, hijacked the vehicle, drove to Metro junction and then Mantralaya in South Bombay, abandoned it when a tyre burst, and grabbed another car. According to police accounts, they then drove to Girgaum, where Kasab was injured and arrested and his companion killed.

7. Kasab claimed that a band of ten terrorists landed and split up into two's, going to various destinations, he and his companion going to VT.

He said they wanted to blow up the Taj, as in the attack on the Marriott in Islamabad; yet we are told that only 8kg of RDX were found at the Taj, and even that was not used; contrast this with 600kg of RDX and TNT used to blow up the Marriott: could they really have expected to blow up the Taj?

8. How did the invaders from the sea get one bomb to go off in Dockyard Road and another in Vile Parle, 25 kilometres away?

9. Kasab said that the terrorists planned to use their hostages as a means of escape, yet there was no attempt at any such negotiations; at other times, he also said they had been instructed to fight to the death.

10. Kasab says he is a labourer from Faridkot near Multan and only studied up to Class IV, but it is reported that he speaks fluent English.

11. Several people have pointed out that the pictures of him in VT show him wearing a saffron wrist-band, a Hindu custom, and police later revealed that he could not recite a single verse from the Koran, which any child growing up in a Muslim family would have been able to do.

12. An article on the soc.culture.jewish group argued that none of the terrorists were Muslims, given their appearance and behaviour (especially their reported consumption of alcohol and drugs), pointing out that they did not need to disguise themselves, since Muslims who look like Muslims are plentiful in Bombay, and would not attract undue attention.

Kasab

13. During his interrogation, Kasab said that he and eight of the operatives had done a reconnaissance trip to Bombay a few months back, pretending to be students and renting a room at Colaba market, which is close to Nariman House.

It is extremely hard for Pakistani nationals to get Indian visas, and they are kept under close surveillance by the police; it is also most unlikely that the Indian immigration authorities would be fooled by forged passports of another country. In that case, the Indian immigration authorities would have visa applications of nine of the terrorists including Kasab, and could match the photographs in them to those of the terrorists: has this been done?

Later, Kasab changed his mind and said that the team who carried out reconnaisance was different from the team who had carried out the attacks.

14. According to witnesses, two gunmen started firing at the mainline terminus in VT at 21:55 on Wednesday night, but at precisely the same time, according to CCTV footage, two gunmen began an assault on the suburban terminus. If the first account is true, there were four gunmen at the station: where did the other two come from, and where did they go?

15. We are shown video footage, claiming to be CCTV but without the timeline of normal CCTV footage, of Kasab and Ismail wandering around the parking lot near the mainline terminus.

This surely cannot be before the shootout, since the station is completely deserted.

And after the shootout, Kasab and Ismail are supposed to have escaped via the footbridge from Platform 1 of the suburban station on the other side of VT: this, again, suggests there were four gunmen.

16. Even if Kasab and Ismail had been shown photographs of Karkare, Salaskar and Kamte before they embarked on their trip, how could they possibly have identified the police officers in a dark alley in the dead of night according to Kasab's first story? According to his later confession, a police officer got out of the vehicle and started firing first, injuring him.

How, then, did Ismail manage to kill the rest by himself?

17. Witnesses in Cama hospital say the terrorists spoke fluent Marathi (the language spoken around Bombay), and this report has been confirmed.

The gunmen appear to have made a beeline for the 6th floor (which was empty) and the terrace.

Was it because they would have a direct view of the lane in which Karkare, Salaskar and Kamte were later supposedly killed?


18. In his first account, the policeman called Jadhav said Karkare was in the second row of the Qualis vehicle, while in the second account he was supposed to be in the front row with Kamte.

In the second account, Salaskar was initially sitting behind the driver, but then asked the driver to slow down and got behind the wheel himself: is it plausible that an experienced encounter specialist would deliberately make himself into a sitting duck like this when they were in hot pursuit of terrorists?

In the first account they were supposed to be going to check up on their injured colleague Sadanand Date, but in the second were supposed to be looking for a red car in which they had been told the gunmen were traveling.

If the report about the red car was a decoy to lure them into an ambush, it is important to know who told them that the terrorists were in a red car.

If the gunmen were firing from the left side, as Jadhav claimed, how was Karkare hit three times in the chest while Jadhav himself got two bullets in his right arm?

In fact, the only vegetation in that part of the lane is on the right side and has wire netting around it; it would be necessary to climb over the netting to hide behind it, and climb over again to come out: impossible under the circumstances.

Witnesses say only two bodies were found at the spot next morning: what happened to the third officer? Who were the three constables killed?

How did two terrorists manage to kill six police personnel, including Karkare and Kamte who he said were armed with AK47s and Salaskar, an encounter specialist, when one terrorist was later captured and the other killed by policemen armed only with two rifles and lathis? Assistant Police Inspector Ombale was killed in that encounter, but his colleagues survived.

19. There was also an intriguing report in DNA on 28 November saying that Anand Raorane, a resident of a building opposite Nariman House, heard sounds of celebration from the terrorists there when the news of Karkare getting killed was flashed on TV: isn't that strange?

The same report quoted a resident of Nariman House and a local shopkeeper who said that the terrorists had purchased large quantities of food and liquor before the attack, suggesting that more than two of them were planning to occupy the place for a long time.

20. Another DNA report, on 2 December, said that sub-inspector Durgude, who had been posted in front of St Xavier's College, between Cama Hospital and the exit point of the back lane onto Mahapalika Road, saw two young men whom he took to be students and called out to warn them that there was firing at Cama. When they ignored him, he approached them, upon which one of them turned an AK47 on him and killed him.

If Kasab and Ismail were there, who was firing inside Cama? Eye-witnesses in St Xavier's saw a man shot and lying on the pavement in front of the college around 12.30 a.m., while about three gunmen stood over him: who was that?

21. Various reports said that two to eight terrorists were captured alive. Now there is only one in police custody: what happened to the other(s)?

22. "A careful scrutiny of all the reports available so far suggests, to this writer anyway, that the killing of Karkare and his colleagues was a premeditated act, executed by a group that had stationed gunmen at various points along the general route between VT and the Metro cinema with a view to maximising their chances of a successful murderous assault.

"We have too much bitter experience of investigations in which innocent people (usually Muslim youth) are rounded up, tortured and even killed, while the real culprits are allowed to go free. Karkare broke with this dismal record, but now he is dead.

"When a person who has been vilified, slandered and threatened with death is killed in suspicious circumstances, it is imperative that a proper investigation should be carried out soon, before too much evidence can be manufactured and/or destroyed.

"If Kasab aka Iman disappears or is assassinated like Lee Harvey Oswald, or is executed, that would be further evidence of a conspiracy."

Petraeus: Koran burning plan will endanger US troops

Afghan protesters in Kabul on 6 September 2010 Protesters burned an effigy of Pastor Terry Jones

The top US commander in Afghanistan has warned that troops' lives will be in danger if an American church sticks to its plan to burn copies of the Koran.

Gen David Petraeus said the action could cause problems "not just in Kabul, but everywhere in the world".

Pastor Terry Jones, of the Dove World Outreach Center, plans to put copies of the holy book in a bonfire to mark this week's anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

The White House and Nato have also expressed concern over the plan.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said on Tuesday that "any type of activity like that that puts our troops in harm's way would be a concern to this administration".
 

Analysis

The Dove World Outreach Center may only represent a handful of people, but its incendiary plans haven't emerged out of nowhere.

The role of Islam in America has become a hot button issue with social and political implications.

While most Americans would probably take issue with exhortations to burn the Koran, there is clearly widespread concern about the influence of Islam.

Protests over the planned location of an Islamic centre close to Ground Zero in New York, and similar controversy in Murfreesboro, Tennessee have highlighted popular anxiety about Islam in America.

Earlier this year, an opinion poll found that 53% of Americans view Islam unfavourably, with only 42% biewing the religion favourably.

Reports about young American Muslims being radicalised on the internet have helped to stoke fears about the nature of a religion indelibly associated, since 9/11, with a violent assault on the US.

Far from subsiding over time, anxiety seems to have deepened. As a result, American Muslims say they feel more isolated than at any time since the 2001 attacks.

Earlier, the US embassy in Kabul issued a statement condemning the plans by the non-denominational church in Gainesville, Florida.

"It could endanger troops and it could endanger the overall effort," Gen Petraeus said in a statement to US media. "It is precisely the kind of action the Taliban uses and could cause significant problems.

"Not just here, but everywhere in the world, we are engaged with the Islamic community," added Gen Petraeus, who heads a 150,000-strong Nato force against a Taliban-led insurgency.

Meanwhile, Nato chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen on Tuesday blasted the church's plans, telling reporters that burning Korans violated the Nato alliance's "values".

"There is a risk that it may also have a negative impact on security for our troops," news agency AFP quoted him as saying.

Mr Jones said the church was "very concerned" after hearing Gen Petraeus' warning and was taking his words seriously. He said the church was praying on the matter but he said the group had "firmly made up our minds".

"How long do we back down?" he said on CNN

Furious debate

News of the bonfire has sparked protests in Afghanistan and Indonesia.

"Start Quote

We must send a clear message to the radical element of Islam"

End Quote Pastor Terry Jones

In Kabul on Monday, about 500 protesters chanted "long live Islam" and "death to America" as they set fire to an effigy of Mr Jones.

The controversy comes at a time of already heated debate in the US over a proposal to build a mosque and Islamic cultural centre two streets from Ground Zero, site of the 9/11 attacks, in New York.

The planned protest by Mr Jones's previously little-known 50-member Florida church, whose website labels Islam "violent and oppressive", has prompted protests elsewhere, too.

Thousands of mostly Muslim demonstrators rallied around Indonesia last weekend.

Claims that US soldiers have desecrated the Koran in both Afghanistan and Iraq have caused bloodshed in the past.

There were deadly protests in Afghanistan in 2008, when it emerged that a US soldier deployed to Iraq riddled a copy of the holy book with bullets.

And further lives were lost in Afghan riots in 2005 when Newsweek magazine printed a story alleging that US interrogators at Guantanamo Bay had flushed a copy of the Koran down a toilet.

The story later turned out to be false and was retracted by the magazine
