India: Jihad group targeted Bollywood stars for corrupting the youth

Apr 25, 2014 6:12 pm By Robert Spencer

Bollywood“The outfit under the leadership of Yasin Bhatkal had planned suicide mission to target Bollywood stars as they believed that the film industry was corrupting the youth.” Movies, you see, corrupt the youth. Jihad/martyrdom mass murder attacks don’t. On the contrary, they safeguard the morals of the youth, as the youth will be too terrified to step out of line once they see what happens to those who do.

“Indian Mujahideen planned fidayeen attack on gathering of Bollywood stars,” by Neeraj Chauhan, TNN, April 25, 2014:

The outfit under the leadership of Yasin Bhatkal had planned suicide mission to target Bollywood stars as they believed that the film industry was corrupting the youth.

NEW DELHI: Indian Mujahideen leader Tehsin Akhtar alias Monu, who was allegedly handling its affairs since Yasin Bhatkal’s arrest last year, has made a startling revelation during interrogation that the terror outfit had planned to launch a fidayeen attack on a gathering of Bollywood stars.

The outfit under the leadership of Yasin Bhatkal had planned suicide mission to target a huge gathering of Bollywood stars as they believed that the film industry was corrupting the youth by showing nudity and other things, sources said. The idea was to cause maximum damage to the entertainment industry by attacking a host of stars in one strike.

While Bollywood stars have in the past received individual threats from the underworld mafia and gangsters, it is for the first time that a terror outfit is said to have been planning a full-fledged attack. The revelation has shocked the investigators as IM’s targets so far have been foreigners, tourist places, religious places, government establishments and crowded places like markets.

Without giving the exact dates, Tehsin told his interrogators, “One day, Yasin, Haddi (Assadullah Akhtar), Waqas (Zia-Ur-Rehman) and I discussed about the possibility of conducting fidayeen attacks. Yasin was interested in carrying out fidayeen attacks on film stars.”

Tehsin said, “The logic given by Yasin was that the film industry was misguiding people by showing nudity and other things which was corrupting the youth. The idea was to target a possible gathering of stars so that maximum casualty could be inflicted.”

“While Yasin very much wanted this kind of attack, he was also aware that it was premature for the outfit to carry out a fidayeen strike since it was yet equipped to do so. Yasin felt that idea of fidayeen attack was premature as IM’s membership was too meagre (sic) to create any meaningful impact,” Tehsin told his interrogators, as quoted by an intelligence officer.

Sources said Tehsin didn’t remember the date of planning, but told the sleuths that it was sometime in 2011 around the time a crackdown was launched on IM members in Delhi and Bihar….

    Oh please …

    More double standards from the so-called “religion of peace”, since islam is corrupt to the core; beginning, but not ending with, muhammad (perdition be upon him): the vilest criminal known to man.

    Of course, movies are corrupting the youth. And we do no service to our well being when we export movies that corrupt good manners and when we promote the making of such films in other parts of the globe. There is no excuse for terrorism. But we should not tempt terrorism by our immoral ways and arts.

      WE tempt them by our immoral ways and arts?? Well, if from “we” you mean Americans then be aware that arts is protected under Free Speech. So it is THEY who need to learn how not to be tempted to commit terrorism! The onus is on THEM!

      Actually it is Islam that tempts terrorism with its lures of jannat, virgins, and other favours of Allah to jihadis!

    “..the film industry was corrupting the youth by showing nudity..”

    Muhammad used to hug and kiss people … NAKED! It’s in their books.
    Problem is, they don’t read their books.

    Indian films don’t show nudity.

    They show very pretty young women dancing in saris and other exotic clothing, and sometimes, in very recent years, in rather skimpy clothing.

    What Muslims are complaining about is fully-dressed women showing a little bit of skin, not actual nudity of the type that routinely occurs in Hollywood movies.

      The two sexiest scenes to feature an Indian actress in the entire 100-year history of the Hindi-language film industry, so you can judge the above claims for yourself:

      “Ram Chahe Leela” (“Ram Loves Leela”) from Goliyon kii Raasleela – Ram Leela (Bullets’ Dance)

      “Asalaam-E-Ishqum” (“Salute to Love”) from Gunday (Goons)

      These shocked me because they are such a departure from tradition.

      Both were released in the past 6 months, and both are focused on Priyanka Chopra, who was crowned Miss World before joining the A-list of Bombay stardom.

      Actually the Hindu extremists hate Bollywood as well, they are nearly as bad as the Muslim fundamenalists. All religions lead to insanity

        @”bill”

        Yeah, just make sure to stay out of any Jewish or Christians hospitals then dirtbag when you need hospitalization — after all, we wouldn’t want you to be a hypocrite.

          Further, the Indian movie industry, much like Hollywood, bends over backwards to depict Muslim characters as “moderate” and to avoid like the plague almost all realistic treatment of topics such as jihad and sharia.

          A few recent stinker films (New York and My Name is Khan being the most egregious) go beyond this to mendaciously enter the intellectual battlefield on the side of dawah.

          Oh, sorry for clicking the wrong reply button.

          My earlier reply to your remark was intended for bill directly.

          That said, one may be objective in criticizing the harm done by all religions, while still giving the non-Muslim faiths credit where it is due, for founding hospitals and so forth…

          …and while distinguishing Islam uniquely as the turd in the theological punchbowl.

      • Covadonga says

        The Hindus object to the fact that so many A-list male stars are Muslim, or of full or partial Muslim descent, whereas the overwhelming majority of their female co-stars are Hindu.

        Considering the prevalence of rape jihad, forced marriage jihad, and female kidnapping jihad in all lands with a sizable Muslim population, and the importance of this skullduggery in metastasizing the Islamic cancer for over 1,000 years of history, not least in South Asia, it is impossible to feel no sympathy for these courageous Hindu voices, regardless of how mistaken they might be on this particular issue.

          just outta curiosity.

          You mentioned the A-list male stars in Bollywood mostly being Muslims.

          For the information of Bollywood fans from outside India (and there are plenty of such fans, in Australia and in the US), are there A-list male stars, historically or presently acting in Bollywood, who are *not* Muslim?

          And if so, can you give us their names, so that non-Indian Islamosavvy Bollywood fans will know which movies to buy/ rent/ tell their friends about, and which to…avoid?

    In the lead up to India’s independence, Ghandi wanted India to remain as it had been, with muslim and hindu communities living together in one country. Jenna and his islamic party insisted on a separate islamic state, forcing mass upheaval and forced migration of both communities into and out of what is now Pakistan and India. This triggered violence and death on a huge scale, but presumably Jenna figured it was a price worth paying for an islamic state that didn’t want to integrate with unbelievers. So why are there still muslims living in India, whingeing and whining about the customs and culture of unbelievers? Why don’t they simply move to a state which practices their “religion”? And why do non-muslims live in Pakistan where they are subjected to oppression and cruelty? One answer is that islam wants it all. The more territory it conquers the more it wants. It cannot be reasoned with and will not ever stop, until as Winston Churchill put it in his book “The River War”, islam is no longer a power in the world.

    The Mohammedans wanting to kill Bollywood actors and actresses because they are nude or semi-nude have strange moral principles. Is it worse to be nude or semi-nude than to kill others? Is it worse to be nude or semi-nude than to send others to their deaths by suicide? Few people note the evil of sending suicide-bombers, including Osama bin Laden who sent the suicide-attackers to destroy the World Trade Centre, the Pentagon, etc.

    What are those naughty muslimes doing watching movies? Tut tut, mad-ham wouldn’t approve as there is to be no fun in Islame. Just death.
