The Roots of Muslim Anger in India [Barfer]
Asia Times Online ^ | Jul 15, 2006 | M K Bhadrakumar

The needle of suspicion points to the involvement of Islamist organizations in the savage acts of terrorism in Mumbai on Tuesday. But no matter the pan-Islamist links of these organizations, the inescapable reality is that political Islam can only thrive on fertile native soil. The specter of political Islam haunting India is no exception.

A starting point, therefore, will be an attempt to define "Islamism" or "political Islam". Islamism, like other ideologies in modern history intensely focuses on the issues and problems of contemporary governance, society and politics. Islamists draw meaning out of Islam and transmute their interpretations into an ideology that underpins their political and social activism.

--snip--

India's political system based on democratic pluralism theoretically provides space for all ethnic groups and sub-nationalities. But, in actuality, there have been severe deficiencies in the way it functions. Suffice it to say, political empowerment of the people is still far from complete - even after six decades of independence.

Equally, there is a visible alienation among significant sections of India's population regarding the opportunity for fulfilling their socio-economic aspirations within the framework of democratic pluralism. In something like 200 districts in India, the state machinery has been rendered virtually dysfunctional.

The socio-economic problems facing Muslims in India are certainly acute. The Muslim community is beset by poverty and illiteracy. The Indian intelligentsia is not ready for an honest, transparent national debate about it. If the general literacy rate stands at 63%, the corresponding figure amongst the Indian Muslims stands at 42.2%.

Yep, the Indians must understand that, in spite of the body count, the Muslims are the victims.

In WW2, we had the Why We Fight series.

These days, we have the Why They Fight series, going on 5 years now.

There is no such thing as a moderate Muslim.

Finding one is like finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!

It's true that India's democracy is not perfect; multi-culturalism is proving to be disastrous in every nation that tries to incorporate it into their government. I'm not talking about countries with varying races and nationalities, I'm referring to the assinine ideology that tries to conjoin vastly different religions, races and cultures which have inbred conflicts with each other's beliefs. I'm referring especially to islam, a cult that hates everything, even itself when there's no 'infidels' around to persecute. I'm also referring to the new illegal hispanic culture in the U.S. which refuses to assimilate, or even learn the host country's language.

The only way to make 'multi-culturalism' work is to try and do what they are doing in America, namely, suppress ALL public expression of religion so that nobody will 'offend' the religious sensibilities of minority religions, elevate minorities and weaken the majority through enacting laws that foster multi-culturalism over the peoples' constitutional rights, and then divide and destroy the family, so that nobody will have enough time, energy or unity to fight back with to restore normalcy.

True multi-culturalism is one nation containing different races, nationalities and faiths, but who are all marching in the same direction, who all speak the same language, and who all honor the country's flag and traditions. What we have in America today isn't multi-culturalism, it's simply cancerous divisions. What India has with its islamic population is even worse, they are dealing with an army of Satanists.

The Muslims in India are beset with poverty, because since they are not in power, they lack the opportunity to extort the wealth of others.

The roots of Muslim anger in India are the same as the roots of Muslim anger everywhere else: the presence of Muslims. Eradicate them and the anger goes away. Sure, you're left with a garbage problem, but you can always feed them to the pigs.
