Bringing Islam to knees in India my dream: Thackeray

MUMBAI: Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray has said he dreams of a “Hindustan of Hindus” that would bring “Islam in this country down to its knees”. Addressing a massive rally at the Shiv Sena stronghold of Shivaji Park, Thackeray said, “It is my dream that we create a Hindustan of the Hindus. Maharashtrians or Punjabis alone cannot fight against Islam. That is why I appeal to all Hindus to break the linguistic wall around them and come together so that we can bring Islam in this country down to its knees.”

In his 20-minute speech, the 81-year-old Thackeray paused several times and delivered the speech sitting. Dressed in an all-white robe, he was accompanied by his son and Sena Executive President Uddhav. Thackeray, who addressed the rally in an effort to boost the prospects of the Sena-BJP combine at Mumbai civic polls on February 1, also had words of praise for Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, describing him as “a staunch Hindu”. “If the reaction of the Babri Masjid demolition could reach Mumbai in the form of riots, then there is nothing wrong if the wave of the Godhra incident reached Ahmedabad. It was a spontaneous reaction and there is nothing wrong with that,” Thackeray said. sana

Quite apparent who is going to come to their knees first.

Awful, Awful man.

Promoting jihad, targeting free speech


Diana West
August 10, 2007

Remember when we heard that if only our leaders had known how to "connect the dots," the September 11 attacks could have been prevented? After nearly six years without a similar attack, the government has learned much about detecting the outlines of jihadist terror plots before they take shape. As a result, and after all the aggravations and humiliations of what I still hope are temporary safety procedures, our security has remained essentially intact. But can we say the same thing about our freedoms?

At this point, I must interrupt this column to apologize to all leftists settling in for a juicy tirade against the Patriot Act, wiretaps for terrorists, or the sufferings of sensitive poets in residence at Guantanamo Bay. It is not the Bush administration's efforts to protect us from "terror" (more maturely known as jihad) that compromise our freedoms, it is jihad itself. And the basic freedom to discuss, analyze, debate, imagine, and, therefore, resist jihad is now under unprecedented assault.

Consider the following events.

On or about July 30, Cambridge University Press surrendered to a libel suit brought in British court by Khalid bin Mahfouz over the 2006 book, "Alms for Jihad," which identifies the Saudi billionaire as a supporter of al Qaeda. The publisher apologized for allegations documented by the authors, paid damages and promised to destroy all unsold copies of the book, and to request libraries and universities, even in the United States, to destroy their copies.

On Aug. 1, Chauncey Bailey, editor of the Oakland Press, was murdered. Mr. Bailey had been investigating what sounds like a black Muslim crime family operating out of Your Black Muslim Bakery, and its connections to crime in the Oakland area, where, not incidentally, Muslims associated with the bakery have used violence against liquor stores, a la Taliban, to enforce aspects of Islamic law. A 19-year-old Muslim bakery employee has confessed to the crime.

Also on Aug. 1, the Web site, Radar, recounted a familiar tale of Hollywood woe — a screenplay project terminated by a producer before completion. But this one had a post-September 11 twist. The screenwriter, Jason Ressler, maintains that his screenplay, "Dove Hunting," a thriller with a Saudi prince for a villain, was terminated after the producer he was working with, Mark "March of the Penguins" Gill, received a massive infusion of cash from backers including, well, a Saudi prince: Sheikh Walid al-Ibrahim, an owner of al-Arabiya network and a brother-in-law of the late King Fahd. Mr. Gill denies politics affected his decision.

On Aug. 2, the Young America's Foundation was threatened with legal action by lawyers for the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) if the conservative student group didn't cancel a scheduled talk on CAIR by best-selling author and Islamic expert Robert Spencer. To be sure, neither the redoubtable Mr. Spencer nor the student group buckled under CAIR's bullying, and, to date, CAIR's threats have not materialized. Indeed, both Mr. Spencer's resolve and Young America's Foundation response — "CAIR can go to hell and take their 72 virgins with them" — are an inspiration.

There's even a bright spot in the Cambridge disgrace. The two American authors of "Alms for Jihad," J. Millard Burr and Robert O. Collins, were not sued; just the British publisher. For this protection, we can probably thank courageous Rachel Ehrenfeld, terror expert and author of the 2003 book, "Funding Evil." When Miss Ehrenfeld was sued in 2004 by the same litigious Saudi billionaire in British court (he has brought or threatened suit 36 times on similar grounds), she refused to accept the premise that a British court should have jurisdiction over an American writer's American-published book. She took legal action in U.S. courts, where, to date, her case is finding protection for American writers from British law.

We can take heart from such victories. But these individual acts of courage will only amount to gallant sacrifices if they aren't upheld as victories over a jihadist effort to shut the rest of us up to curb everybody's freedom to name the Muslim billionaires behind global jihad, to investigate the thuggery of an Islamic city gang, to create thrillers about Saudi terror-princes, to speak out about CAIR's jihadist links and more.

In other words, these are the new dots that urgently need connecting. And what connects them all, from street violence to legal intimidation, is the chilling effect they each bring to bear on the free and unfettered investigation, analysis and assessment of Islam and jihad.

This article caught my eye.

Of course, it is an American who has written, but I am interested in knowing what the Moslem counters to this could be and surely there would be enough.

The subject here is not about the "American Point of View", but rather the Indian calling for Islams destruction in India, so what claims can be put that India is a secular country but rather a science fiction story of claiming secularism as a "Curtain" to hide behind.

Rather, you have this terrorist backed by other businessmen, who welcome this idea of spreading fear and hate.

 

[Bull]

no man, most of our Indian members also don't support him but they do support BJP who are in cahoots with this guy again.

Who in their senses would support Bal Thackerey. He is at logger heads with everyone, his own family is against him, the radicals have abondoned him bcoz he softened his stance, BJP has abondoned him due the lack of support during the presedential election.

 

[Marathaman]

Yeah. The poor guy hasn't won an election is ages. Can't he just retire? No one listens to his speeches anymore.

Sure sure. The whole of Mumbai supports him. It's like the people of Lahore all supporting Abu Hamza. It just goes to show how popular extremists of the right kind are in Bharat.

"Of the 227 seats, the NCP won 14, the Congress 73, the Sena 83 and the BJP 28. In the last BMC elections, the Sena and the BJP won 104 and 36 seats, respectively, getting a clear majority. This time, however, the saffron combine only got 111 seats. Had the Congress and the NCP teamed up, there was a strong chance of their getting a simple majority in the country's richest municipal corporation."

Bal Thackeray is a fascist fanatic. An admirer of the Hitler. He constantly and with passage of time has changed his face. Initially he was a product of Congress party to counter the strong Communist presence in Maharashtra state of India and its capital, Mumbai/Bombay. Later he started movement for well being of Marathis and start attacking the Madrasis from south and Gujarathis from Gujarat and also the North Indians. Later with passage of time and assessing the opportunities this sheet become the saviour of so called "Hindutva" legacy and a killer of muslims with a free hand given by the state governments.
