Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

After Modi election, Muslim group calls for jihad attacks on Indian targets worldwide

May 21, 2014 4:43 pm By Robert Spencer

Narendra_Modi“In the video, Abd Al-Rahman describes Hindus as ‘hateful’, and accuses them of perpetrating crimes like expulsion, imprisonment, rape and killing, and other insults, on Muslims….Abd Al-Rahman maintains that Muslims of India are suffering today under the occupation of Hindus.” Sound familiar? That’s because it is. Whether it’s Gaza or India, Burma or Bosnia, Islamic jihadist rhetoric is everywhere the same: Muslims are being unjustly treated under an illegal “occupation,” are striking out because of legitimate grievances, etc. Part of this is because, in the absence of a caliph, only defensive jihad is currently permitted under Sunni Islamic law. Thus grievances always have to be retailed in order to justify jihad attacks. But while the grievances always shift, the jihad always remains.

“Jihad group calls for attack of Indian targets worldwide,” Zee News, May 20, 2014:

Washington:A jihad group has released a 10-minute video that calls on key fundamental Islamic leaders to attacks Indian targets worldwide in retaliation for the alleged atrocities commited [sic] against Muslims in India.

According to a translation provided by the Jihad and Terrorism Threat Monitor of the Washington DC-based Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), the jihad group goes by the name of Ansar Al-Tawheed fi Bilad Al-Hind (The Supporters of Monotheism in the Land of India).

It quotes its leader, Abd Al-Rahman, as appealing in Arabic to Taliban leader Mullah Muhammad; Al-Qaeda leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri; the leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, and Al-Qaeda’s leaders in Yemen (Nasser Al-Wuhaishi), in Somalia (Mukhtar Abu Al-Zubair), and in North Africa (Abu Mus’ab ‘Abd Al-Wudoud), to come forward to protect the Muslims of India.

In the video, Abd Al-Rahman describes Hindus as “hateful”, and accuses them of perpetrating crimes like expulsion, imprisonment, rape and killing, and other insults, on Muslims.

MEMRI further quotes Abd Al-Rahman as mentioning the Kashmir dispute and the 2002 massacre of Muslims in Gujarat in the video.

Abd Al-Rahman maintains that Muslims of India are suffering today under the occupation of Hindus.

The video concludes with Abd Al-Rahman seeking the support and advice of these Islamic leaders to attack Indian Government interests and its economic centers in India or abroad until the government collapses.

      There should have been no Partition. Muslims should have accepted their status as a minority in India subject to democratic governance – and, I would have preferred to see, official encouragement to abandon the religion their forefathers were forced into.

    As I understand the modern history of India, after the British formally withdrew the Hindu majority was OK with India being a multi-religious society, but the Muslims balked and began rioting. From there it degenerated into civil war with much of the Muslim population fleeing to Pakistan and Bangledesh. So the Muslims picked a fight, lost, fled, and now India is ‘occupied’ Muslim territory. That whole scenario sounds familiar. Where else have we heard that?

      Yes.

      Israel.

      The parallels are striking, and most instructive.

      They should be pointed out to people at every opportunity.

      • dumbledoresarmy says

        May 21, 2014 at 6:26 pm

        The further parallel is that, just as Pakistan and Bangladesh have only vanishingly-small non-Muslim minorities – the result of over fifty years of continual mistreatment, whilst those Muslims who remained within India at Partition have grown and swelled to a large and dangerous Fifty Column, so too while *all* or nearly all Jews were driven out of the mostly-Arab Muslim lands around Israel at or within the next three decades after *that* Partition, Israel retained a significant Arab (mostly-Muslim) minority which has grown, and grown, and grown, and constitutes a dangerous and sullen Fifth Column within her gates.

        Both Israel and India would be in a far stronger position today if they had unremittingly driven out of their lands, in the course of the various wars waged against them by their Muslim neighbours, every last mohammedan. They would not then have that dangerous Ummah fifth column inside their gates.

          When in India fairly recently, I was struck by the frequency with which Hindu guides expressed fear that the muslim population, still a minority, but a very large one, was gaining on the Hindu population. Among Hindus, population growth has been stunted, on account of the enforced sterilisation policy introduced by Indira Gandhi. It rather sounded to me as if the policy had never been enforced with any vigour among the muslim population.

          Enforced sterilisation is always a morally vile policy, as well as ensuring that many millions of desperately poor people will never know any better condition. If, however, it has also been enforced asymmetrically, it will eventually amount to demographic suicide.

        • JN says

          May 22, 2014 at 6:18 am

          There is no forced sterilization in India. Hindus have fewer children because it simply makes better economic sense. But we are seeing a tapering of muslim population as well world wide. As women get more educated world wide, they have fewer children unless they are rich enough to afford more.

        • Owen Morgan says

          May 22, 2014 at 10:49 pm

          Actually replying to JN:

          “Hindus have fewer children because it simply makes better economic sense.”

          Sorry, but that is nonsense. Prosperity leads to smaller families, not the other way round. An impoverished family, depending on agriculture, without reliable access to farm machinery, depends on human numbers. Yes, there’s a risk that the number of mouths to feed will outstrip the food supply, but Indians have been living with that threat for quite a few thousand years now. How, do you think, did India’s population get so huge in the first place?

          You mention a tapering of the muslim population “worldwide”. That’s hardly true. Births are down among Turks and Persians, for instance, but sky-high among Kurds, (and, as I said, Hindu Indians spontaneously volunteered their impression that Indian muslims are multiplying at a significantly higher rate than Indians of other denominations). Logically, your “economic sense” argument should apply to Indian muslims, too, shouldn’t it?

          When Britain’s population expanded rapidly in the nineteenth century (despite emigration to Australia, Canada, SA, NZ and the US), families were huge, by today’s standards. Two of my great-great-grandmothers gave birth to eleven children each and I think all twenty-two offspring survived. I don’t imagine that any of those four parents predicted that outcome, because they would have expected a significant level of infant mortality. That survival rate was unusual, but the birth rate wasn’t. As affluence improved, generation by generation, families became smaller, but the population, by then, had multiplied.

          You’re wrong about enforced sterilisation in India. It is happening. They’re not doing it at gunpoint, but they never were. They have always made refusal an option with blatantly unpleasant consequences.

    • PJG says

      May 21, 2014 at 6:26 pm

      Not quite. Pakistan was not yet in existence for the Muslims to “flee” to, for a start.
      I recommend a book I read in 1986 about Partition (“Freedom at Midnight” by Dominique Lapierre and Larry Collins), which, on glancing through now, doesn’t really give much information about Islam but certainly tells the story of Partition well. I couldn’t put it down. That book put me on notice about Islam, in any case, and I have been an “Islamophobe” ever since!

      You got to do some research before you come to conclusions. India is NOT occupied Indian territory ‘period’. India was invaded by Mongols, Turks, and Mughals (off course spaniards, and Portuguese). So before you tinker with your fingers on keyboard, please do your research. Did I say British, oops no, they also tried very hard to convert and conquer but alas they did not succeed .

    May 21, 2014 at 6:02 pm

    This idiot conveniently forgets, it were his invading marauder Muslims from Arabia, Turkey, Afghanistan, etc who occupied Hindu India. These guys have short memories. when Pakistan was created all of these scums should have been sent to Pakistan. Instead the wise Indian leaders allowed Muslims to live in India. Now the folly of the leaders like Gandhi, Nehru is paying rich dividends to the point that the same Muslims who were allowed to live in India are calling Hindus as “occupiers”. Talk about upside down logic of Muslims.

    A point to make : Muslim population in India grew from about 35 million at the time of independence in 1947 to about 150 million now – a four fold increase. In the same time Hindu population in Pakistan decreased from about 22% to less than 2%, and in Bangladesh the Hindu population decraesed to about 6%. In both of these Muslim countries, Hindus and Christians are kidnapped, raped, killed.. everyday. Muslims in India live fearlessly and even call Hindus as the occupiers of their own land!!

      Muslims have been brain washed in Mosques and Madrassas from around age 3 upwards that ALL lands are Muslim lands.
      Not only India belongs to them but also Britain, Canada, USA, Australia. Think of a country, any country and its ” Muslim land” being occupied by Kaffirs and infidels.
      Yes, India´s biggest mistake was not kicking EVERY Muslim out of India in 1948.
      Those chickens have now come home to roost.
      God bless all Hindus and Buddhists in the continuing 1000 year war with Islam.

      It is IMPOSSIBLE to find a SINGLE believing Muslim who has TWO brain cells of logic because if one had two brain cells of logic one would have Apostatized!

      This is WHY Muslims always claim to be VICTIMS when their recorded history shows that starting with their depraved mentor Muhammad they have always been the victimizers and aggressors.

      After all, it was Arabs and converts to Islam who literally exterminated 140 million Africans for their slave trade; over 100 million Hindus; millions of Christians, Buddhists, Jews & pagans

      They (Arabs) OCCUPIED lands on THREE continents, destroyed their civilizations, eradicated their history, forced millions into converting to Islam and yet claim India, Israel, Iran, most of Africa, Spain etc as theirs

      The fault is NOT with the Muslims but with our spineless, gutless and clueless leaders in Politics, Media & Academia

      Muhammadan Islam is the greatest threat to human civilization in the 21st century; with or without Weapons of Mass Destruction

    Perhaps Indian posters here present may like to send to their newly-elected Prime Minister – and to *every* MP in the new Indian Parliament – a copy of a brilliant little essay by one Daniel Greenfield/ “Sultan Knish”, entitled, “The Dangers of Legitimising Muslim Grievances”.

    http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/2011/11/dangers-of-legitimizing-islamic.html

    Sunday, November 13, 2011
    The Dangers of Legitimizing Muslim Grievances

    A few excerpts from that essay, to show why:

    “…Grievance is the stories that Muslims tell themselves to justify their violence.
    To explain why they kill children and why they murder the innocent.
    The list of grievances is an endless as the violence.
    Every act of violence carries its own narrative…

    “Muslim grievances are the frustration of conquerors, the broken teeth of predators who weren’t allowed to feed on the world until their stomachs burst.
    All the lands they couldn’t conquer, the peoples who rebelled against their rule, the inferior civilizations that pushed them back and drove them off….”.

    “The fundamental Muslim grievance is that they are not in power, not just in Israel where the world has accepted their demand to be in power as a wholly moral and legitimate demand, or throughout the Muslim world where Western governments have helped bring the Islamists to power with bombs and political pressure.

    “**The fundamental grievance is that they are not in power… everywhere..”.** {my emphasis – dda}.

    “…Muslims are not out for representation except as a preliminary stage to absolute power….

    “The common denominator of the cartoon controversies, Muslim wars around the world and just about every other grievance, from their claim to Spain to their demand for more mosques, is an insistence on power at the expense of others…”.

    Translate it into Hindi. Translate it into every other major regional language of India. Circulate. Read it out loud and put it on youtube.

    It sums up the monster that we all face, whether in the West or beyond the West.

    Christopher Hitchens saw the same thing, when he wrote in the “Mirror”, the day after the Muslims bombed the trains and the buses in London:

    http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2005/07/08/we-cannot-surrender-115875-15713152/

    WE CANNOT SURRENDER

    (He should have called it: “We Must Not Surrender”).

    “…We know very well what the “grievances” of the jihadists are.

    “The grievance of seeing unveiled women.

    “The grievance of the existence, not of the State of Israel, but of the Jewish people.

    “The grievance of the heresy of democracy, which impedes the imposition of sharia law.

    “The grievance of a work of fiction written by an Indian living in London.
    “The grievance of the existence of black African Muslim farmers, who won’t abandon lands in Darfur.
    ” The grievance of the existence of homosexuals.
    “The grievance of music, and of most representational art.

    “The grievance of the existence of Hinduism.

    “The grievance of East Timor’s liberation from Indonesian rule.

    “All of these have been proclaimed as a licence to kill infidels or apostates, or anyone who just gets in the way…

    “It is a big mistake to believe this is an assault on “our” values or “our” way of life. It is, rather, an assault on all civilisation…”.

    Precisely.

      Liar Voldemort’s army forgets to mention that Acehnese Islamists supported East Timorese FRETILIN against Indonesia and the Achenese Islamist leader Hassan di Tiro even called Indonesia a genocidal state, while Australia and America backed Secular Dictator Suharto in invading East Timor and West Papua and slaughtering hundreds of thousands, because Suharto was violently anti-communist.

      Voldemortsarmy forgets to mention that Christian General Moerdani was the one who invaded East Timor and West Papua.

      • dumbledoresarmy says

        May 22, 2014 at 6:16 am

        “Christian General Moerdani was the one who invaded East Timor and West Papua.”

        YEAH: a “Christian” general who – like Obama, appeaser and servant of Muslim agendas, was the son of a Muslim father and a non-Muslim mother.

        He wouldn’t be the first or the last non-Muslim servant of a Muslim entity who spent his life assiduously – even zealously – serving the interests of the Ummah.

        And the part played by America and Australia wouldn’t be the first time that Infidels were very smoothly and neatly suckered into siding with the Muslim party in a conflict between Muslims and non-Muslims. The Balkans come to mind.

        • dumbledoresarmy says

          May 22, 2014 at 8:27 am

          And in any case, to repeat, I quoted a passage from an article by Christopher Hitchens.

          He was considering the *big picture*.

          What he provided was a list of things that, to his knowledge – and he was, after all, a journalist – had been *claimed as grievance* by assorted groups of Muslims; as excuses for acts of jihad or as excuses to summon other Muslims to acts of Jihad against the hated non-Muslims.

          And among those things he placed “East Timor’s liberation from Indonesian rule.”

          I do not think he would have done that, had he not seen reports of at least *some* jihad-minded Muslims who *did* in fact view the liberation of East Timor – its removal from the sphere of the dar al Islam (given that its seizure by Indonesia and subjection to Indonesian rule had in fact previously placed it within the dar al Islam) – as an injury to the amour propre of the Muslim Ummah.

          Hitchens may, in fact, have had in mind *this* specific statement by no less a person than Osama bin Laden – who was *not* a trivial or “fringe” figure among Muslims:

          http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/monitoring/media_reports/1636782.stm

          “…Let us examine the stand of the West and the United Nations in the developments in Indonesia when they moved to divide the largest country in the Islamic world in terms of population.
          This criminal, Kofi Annan, was speaking publicly and putting pressure on the Indonesian government, telling it: You have 24 hours to divide and separate East Timor from Indonesia.

          “Otherwise, we will be forced to send in military forces to separate it by force.

          The crusader Australian forces were on Indonesian shores, and in fact they landed to separate East Timor, which is part of the Islamic world.”

          No matter how you try to “spin” the matter, the fact remains that Osama bin Laden saw Indonesia’s *loss* of East Timor as a *loss* to – a reduction in the turf controlled by – the dar al Islam.

          And I think when he mentioned the liberation of East Timor as a grievance that had been claimed by jihadists as something requiring to be avenged, something for which the non-Muslims required to be punished, Hitchens may also have been thinking of the fact that when the 2002 Bali bombings took place – killing 88 Australians, and a large number of other non-Muslim foreigners – at least one of the claimed “motives” was to punish Australia for having assisted in the liberation of East Timor. (Another claimed motive, predictably, was ‘revenge” for supposed mistreatment of the Palestinian Arab Muslims by the Jews).

          Incidentally, the devoutly-Muslim cleric in a Javanese pesantren – which was, essentially, a madrasa – who in 1979/ 1980 boasted exultantly to V S Naipaul about “our latest colony” (i.e. East Timor), would not, I think, have been particularly pleased by the *loss* of that colony.

        • Mazo says

          May 22, 2014 at 3:14 pm

          And you pretend that a “Muslim party” sucked America and Australia into siding with it- uh no, thats not what happened, Suharto was completely America’s b*tch

          The Indonesian government under Sukarno was moving closer to China and tolerated the Indonesian Communist Party.

          This was apparently intolerable to America and Australia, since they proceeded to engineer a coup by Suharto against Sukarno, and ordered Suharto to purge and massacre Indonesian Communists. 600,000 were slaughtered, most of them not “Communist”, but innocent civilians.

          The East Timorese FRETILIN was Marxist and so are the West Papuan OPM so America and Australia gave the green light to Indonesia to invade and occupy.

          Suharto’s Christian Generals suppressed political Islam. Moerdani denied devout Muslims promotion in the military, and Theo Syafei, another murderous Christian General who served in East Timor and massacred East Timorese, openly insulted the Quran and Islam and said a devout Muslim should never rule Indonesia.

          http://voa-islam.com/news/indonesiana/2011/04/30/14434/jelang-ajal-sang-islam-phobi-theo-syafei-diserang-kanker-otak-langka/

          http://msuweb.montclair.edu/~furrg/nunestimor.html

          According to you, insulting Islam means being a servant of “Muslim agendas”. Ok, you and Robert Spencer are servants of Muslim agendas like Moerdani or Syafei insulting the Quran.

          Indonesia used Christian Batak and Muslim Minangkabau soldiers to fight against Muslim Acehnese rebels, as Bataks and Minangkabau lived on Sumatra with the Acehnese.

          Suharto was a pro-western puppet secular Dictator. Suharto was ousted in 1998, East Timor was only allowed to break away in 1999 since the west was upset that their puppet mass murderer Suharto was no longer in charge of Indonesia.

          I exposed VS Naipaul as a hater of everything non-western (Naipaul despises non-Muslim blacks and non-westerners) and his mysoginist hatred of women

          He said some very unflattering things about NON MUSLIM third world countries in Africa and the Carribean to in addition to his repulsive behavior. In fact, all of his works insult non-westerners in General and support neo-colonialism. He is basically a brown sahib and a supporter of western racism against even his own people,

          I recommend you actually check on the background of the authors like Naipaul and Hurgronje before humiliating yourself by recommending their books. I doubt you even read the books except excerpts quoted by other people.

          Naipaul is a well known mysoginist, wife beater, and spent most of his time degrading ALL non-western societies regardless of religion and praising the west as superior to colored black and brown peoples.

          Hurgrongje only had issues with the Acehnese because they resisted the Dutch while he had no problems with Javanese Muslims and he was even friends with the Arab Grand Mufti Sayyid Uthman of Indonesia.

    “The Dangers of Legitimising Muslim Grievances”by Daniel Greenfield “Sultan Knish”

    Is that not what the previous Indian Congress government was doing for the last 10 years or more.

    I think the Hindus ,Sikhs,Buddhists and Christians in India probably had enough.

    “In the video, Abd Al-Rahman describes Hindus as “hateful”, and accuses them of perpetrating crimes like expulsion, imprisonment, rape and killing, and other insults, on Muslims.”

    Is it only after Modi landslide election win that this call for jihad attacks on Indian targets worldwide is happening?

    Why was Abd Al-Rahman sleeping for the last 10 years of the Indian Congress government.

    All of a sudden after Modi ‘s win Hindus have become “hateful”, and are perpetrating crimes like expulsion, imprisonment, rape and killing, and other insults, on Muslims?

    Muslims are the victims everywhere! Yes everywhere.Really?

    Muslims and MSM only talk about the riots in Gujarat, but never what started the riots. This is what started the riots:

    A 2002 report by a Special Investigation Team (SIT) had accused Maulvi Umarji of ordering four lieutenants to mobilise a mob and fuel to target and burn the S-6 coach carrying Kar Sevaks. The SIT had identified and arrested the 31 people convicted today as a core team that planned the attack. The SIT’s conspiracy theory claimed that these 31 people held meetings, planned to target the train when it reached Godhra station and that they burnt the coach.

    A mob of around 1,000 people had attacked the S-6 coach of the train at the Godhra station on that February day in 2002. The death of 59 people triggered the worst communal riots in the history of Independent India. Close to 1,200 people, mostly Muslims, were killed in these riots in Gujarat. [Another trick is to say “mostly Muslims” so to emphasis Muslims as victims, though many Hindus were killed as well. The also make the death toll higher than it was. Official death toll 790 Muslims 254 Hindus. This is a country with 120+ or so million Muslims live, but MSM do their best to make 790 killed in a riot where 254 Hindus were killed to be a genocide. All the while they ignore the real on going genocide and persecution of Hindus in Pakistan and Bangladesh.]

    Chief Minister Narendra Modi had made statements calling the Godhra incident a “pre-planned massacre”. He was accused of making those statements to create an anti-Muslim sentiment in the state. [Stating a FACT of reality is now Islamophobic.]

    Initial police investigations indicated that it could have been a spontaneous riot situation, but the Special Investigation Team (SIT) later said the act was pre-planned. There were allegations that investigations were biased both in the Godhra case and in the Gujarat riots cases, and the Supreme Court finally ordered another SIT investigation in 2008, this time under RK Raghavan. On Godhra, this SIT too endorsed the findings of the earlier SIT.

    Trial in the case began in June 2009 with the framing of the charges against the accused, who have been in Sabarmati jail since 2002. All the accused in the case have been charged with criminal conspiracy and murder. http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/godhra-verdict-31-convicted-63-acquitted-86991

    I live in India , am a US citizen. Muslims here complain of everything as they riot, kill Hindus, bomb Buddhist and Hindu holy sites. They might be afraid f the new Prime Minister because he won’t tolerate this anymore. Let them become educated. Young Muslims only want what young Hindus have. My Kashmiri Muslim friends are not anti-Hindu and consider themselves Indian Citizens.. They even voted for Modi.

      Funnily enough, if Modi cracks down hard and consistently on Muslims (and if, in response to any riots, attacks, plots, etc by Muslims, he just goes right in and whacks them even harder rather than backing off), I would say that the Muslims will back down. Not only the Muslims inside India, but the Muslims in Pakistan and Bangladesh.

      Thugs and bullies need to meet people prepared to say NO and back it up.

      Muslims respect one thing only : FORCE. Hence the whole business about “the strong horse” in Arab Muslim societies. In a very interesting book on comparative religion – “Ten Great Religions”, way back in the mid 19th century, a nice abolitionist American clergyman, James Freeman Clarke, included a chapter on “Mohammed and Islam”. He consulted all the best scholars of his day, and he cites what I think to be a very insightful passage by someone called Palgrave, who had visited Arabia and conversed with the proponents of what he [Palgrave] called ‘the great Wahhabee revival’, and who concluded – after speaking personally with Muslims and considering the way in which allah is conceived of in the Islamic texts – that Islam is in fact “a pantheism of Force”. Raw, amoral Power, worshipped as divine.

      (If you’re interested, you can read Mr Clarke’s book online, as conveniently digitised by the Gutenberg Project. I don’t know how he is on the *other* world religions; but I can’t find anything in his chapter on Islam that doesn’t ring true. A keeper.)

    Above, as is his wont, the mohammedan and defender of Islam calling himself mazo spews out bs at a mile a minute, trying to keep us from seeing the wood for the trees.

    He tries to pretend that orthodox, pious Muslims would not have seen Muslim-dominated overwhelmingly-Muslim (85 percent of the population) Indonesia’s acquisition of and rule over overwhelmingly-non-Muslim East Timor as an expansion of the dar al Islam and that they would not have seen its *loss* as a *loss* to the amount of “turf” controlled by the dar al Islam, and as a “win” for dar al Harb.

    *How* the territory was acquired is immaterial; how it was lost is immaterial; what matters is that dar al Islam *gained* some turf and then LOST it. That’s the big picture.

    He can’t pretend that there isn’t, in orthodox Islam, a belief that *anything* that Muslims once acquire, and occupy, is supposed to belong to Islam forever. Patrick Sookhdeo deals with Islam as what I would call a “turf grab cult” in his book “Faith, Power and Territory”.

    And I wonder whether our Defender of Islam is prepared to pretend that there aren’t a lot of Muslims who feel *exactly* the same way about INDIA as they do about Spain, Greece, Malta, Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Israel…in fact, about every bit of dirt on earth that marauding Mohammedans invaded and stole, but then were forced to disgorge, by the original and rightful owners.

    Just for fun, I will repeat my original point. That Daniel Greenfield’s article about the danger of legitimising Muslim grievances, is a good one; and that Christopher Hitchens’ article, characterising the Jihad as an assault on “all civilisation”, is also a good one, and that both are worth rereading, so we can fully understand the kind of war we are in and that we – “we” being all of non-Muslim humanity, from the smallest tribe on the remotest island or furthest jungle, all the way through to the most sophisticated urban civilisations – have been in, whether we knew it or not, for 1400 years, ever since Islam was invented and the neverending Jihad began.

      Indonesia is not an Islamic state. You are the ones presenting Indonesia as an Islamic state. Indonesia is not run by Sharia, according to Sharia General Moerdani should have been classified as a Muslim.

      The Acehnese Islamist leader Hassan di Tiro said that Indonesia was an artificial state, a creation of western neo-colonialism dominated by the Javanese, with Javanese colonialists replacing Dutch colonialists, and demanded that Indonesia be broken apart into its constituent pre-colonial states because in his view, Indonesia and Indonesians were a manufactured state and identity.

      But you in the west opposed the Acehnese, West Papuans, Moluccans, and East Timorese, while you supported Indonesia. You censored news about the insurgency in Aceh, East Timor and West Papua for much of the 1970s-1990s, when it was raging and Muammar Gaddafi of Libya supplied, armed, and trained them.

      In Sambas in 1999, Malay Muslims helped non-Muslim Dayaks to massacre and drive out thousands of Madurese Muslims who had immigrated to Sambas from Madura island.

      I do not recall your media reporting much about that at all.

      It is your media which presented to the rest of the world how the (non religious) conflict in Indonesia should be viewed (as religious sectarianism). Media in the Muslim world just picked up after yours, fuelling a sense of outrage because of what YOUR media originally reported.

      If your media had reported on the East Timor conflict correctly, in correlation with Muslim Acehnese insurgency, and about the joint Malay-Dayak attacks on Madurese, there would have been no confusion or opportunuty to turn this into an anti-Islam hatefest and fuel any sense of outrage or grievance.

        You’re accusing “the West” of simultaneously being ignorant of developments in Indonesia and failing to act on things of which the West had no knowledge.

        You can’t have it both ways.

        By the way, was the Bali bombing a wicked Western plot to generate “an anti-islam hatefest”, too, or was that one of yours?

          Western governments had full knowledge of what was going on in Indonesia, since it was they who supported the Suharto dictatorship against the Acehnese, East Timorese, Moluccans, and Papuans, and it was the American CIA which helped Suharto massacre countless innocents during the anti-communist purge in the 1960s.

          The Bali bombing was blowback- from supporting a ruthless dictator for decades, which formented the rise of radical extremist terrorist groups due to political oppresion.

    The last time I read, Hindus never left the subcontinent to either spread their beliefs or to annex territory…….. I wonder where the ‘Hindu Occupation’ story comes from, either he never attended history classes or he is truly dump. By the way Muslims in India live much better lives than Muslims in many other islamic countries.
