"Sources said this could well be the first time that a terrorist camp used by self-proclaimed Islamist fundamentalists has been detected in southern India..."
"Terror camps, Pak flags in Karnataka jungles," from the Times of India:
KALGHATGI (DHARWAD): Terrorist training camps may be closer to home than the distant mountains in Pakistan.This chilling evidence came to light during the interrogation of three Islamist radicals arrested recently - Riyazuddin Nasir alias Mohammed Ghouse, Asadullah Abu Bakar and Mohammed Asif.
The investigators have unearthed a thick forest area bordering Dharwad and Uttara Kannada districts of Karnataka, which was used to train terrorists in the use of firearms. The three youths arrested by anti-terror police in Hubli and Davanagere a fortnight ago allegedly received weapons training in these woods which are surrounded by religious shrines.
Sources said this could well be the first time that a terrorist camp used by self-proclaimed Islamist fundamentalists has been detected in southern India, where a spate of terror attacks in the last few years, such as the ones in Hyderabad's Mecca mosque and the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, have sensitized police to Islamist terrorism. It exposes a serious chink in the country's intelligence armour but also opens the door to getting answers on why and how Bangalore engineer Kafeel Ahmed transformed into the Glasgow bomber and his brother, Dr Sabeel Ahmed, joined in the UK terror plot.
Investigations led by DSP S V D'Souza revealed that the radicals were taking camping trips to the woods for "initial training as terrorists". During a raid, the officials noticed Pakistani flags flying and had them removed.
The details of the camp have been passed on to Central intelligence agencies. "The existence of the camp and the fact that the likes of prime suspect Mohammed Ghouse allegedly worked for a terror organization in Pakistan through intermediaries is of vital importance for intelligence agencies," an investigating official said.
The spreading cancer must be destroyed. Nothing else is appropriate. Nothing else will do. Nothing else will work -- of that I am certain.
But Iraq is the "central battleground" in the "war on terror." Make Iraq prosperous, keep Iraq unified, deny terrorists the use of Iraq for their bases -- and why not, Afghanistan too -- and the problem will be over. The example of Iraq, where "freedom" will have been brought to "ordinary moms and dads" in the Middle East who, in turn, will spread the good word to Muslims outside the Middle East, is the only way to go.
They can think of no other.
Somehow, TOIlet Paper of India fails to associate terrorist activities with Jihad, unless they are sourced to Pakistan. Had the Jihadis been enterprising enough to make this a wholly owned Indian Muslim subsidiary, no way would this story have been covered.
From the article:
"The investigators have unearthed A THICK FOREST AREA bordering Dharwad and Uttara Kannada districts of Karnataka, which was used to train terrorists [jihadis] in the use of firearms.
The three youths arrested by anti-terror [counter-jihad] police in Hubli and Davanagere a fortnight ago allegedly received weapons training IN THESE WOODS".

1. Do not go alone.
2. Keep Your Eyes Open - look out for anything unusual, anything subtly 'wrong', you may, just possibly, see spoor of jihadis-in-training, or stumble across their activities
3. Keep Your Ears Open!!! - if you hear gunfire, be very very careful, but do - with caution - attempt to discover the source.
Pakistan, Pakistan. Once our great ally, our great friend, a distant exotic place, but with wise terry-thomas-moustachioed generals, ramrod-straight Sandhurst-fashioned backs, very-pukka-sahibish in the uncomplicated view of the Dulles brothers (there was John Foster, there was Allen). Those generals were so much nicer, so much more to be trusted, than untrustworthy Jawarhalal Nehru (hadn't he had an affair with the last Viceroy's wife?), and that Fabian admirer of the Webbs, the seemingly-soviet-leaning Krishna Menon, and weren't both of them gadabouting at the Bandung Conference, and other un-Western events where Soviet propagandists were having a field day among the so-called "Unaligned Nations"?
And wasn't Islam "a bulwark against Communism"? Just think: a "religion" that was "a bulwark against Communism"? What could be better? That was all the American government knew on earth about Islam, and all it needed to know.
And what about the rest of us, watching "Howdy Doody" and possibly "the Kate Smith Hour" after school, when the moon came over the mountain, and on Saturday nights, "Gunsmoke" and "Have Gun, Will Travel" and on Sunday nights, the adventures of Bart and Brett Maverick, and also watching, with our parents, Imogene Coca and Sid Caesar on "Show of Shows" and "Mr. Peepers" and "Omnibus"?
What did we know about Pakistan, in days of yore?
We made of it what Dinah Shore made of it. A distant place, described (quite inaccurately) as a place of “snake-charmers” and “belly-dancers.” Fed up at home, a girl (Miss Dinah Shore) could just “pack up for Pakistan”:

She couldn’t “pack up” for Pakistan now. And she couldn’t, of course, have done it then.
But who knew?

....I liked "Yancy Derringer",....
muslim extremists have spread all over kerala and karnataka...the imbecile governments don't have the balls to confront them...one can see life size cutouts of saddam hussain and osama in public places and being worshipped...they hold public rallies and fund raising events...what do the police think? that the money goes for social work in iraq? i wonder if the govt. wakes up before these parasites kill the whole country...don't take my word for it...just take a road trip in the border areas of karnataka, namely in kasargod district...one wonders if the indian intelligence agencies are sleeping!!

History may well record that the demise of Western civilization can be dated to the end of the Cold War. Until then, the Middle East was divided between East and West, with each side kept in line by fear of the other.
Then there was the breakup of the USSR, a victory for freedom, or so we thought. The USSR contained most of the "stans", which are now hotbeds of Islamism.
Can we now shut down those Mohammedan Camps in New York State, Oregon, California?
Thank God George Bush declared Islam a Religion of Peace in September of 2001.
Imagine how bad things would be otherwise?
Maybe he'll have time to read the Koran once he's out of office.
I'll overnight him my copy if he'll go tomorrow.

...or afraid....
I thought that the Partition of India was going to solve all this by giving "Indian" Muslims their own country. Turns out that Pakistan and Bangladesh weren't enough. The British misunderstood, turns out that the Muslims of India wanted to rule over the infidel, not give them the control of a part of "Dar el Islam".
Silly Rabbits! Tricks are for jihadists! Not Rabbits!
I have read that there at least 45 Islamic jihadist training camps on American soil presently. It would be interesting to know just how many there really are here.
