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

Indian official: “Mistake” to portray terrorists as Muslims in police drills

Jan 2, 2015 2:55 am By Robert Spencer

boko-haram“It’s wrong to link religion with terrorism.” Who is responsible for linking Islam with terrorism? Islamic jihadists, or those who notice what they do and say? In any case, this article gives the impression that Indian officials are in full retreat and apology mode over these police drills; they almost certainly will not be repeated.

“Gujarat Police make ‘dummy terrorists’ shout pro-Islamic slogan during mock drill,” Press Trust of India, January 1, 2015:

A video of police mock drill showing dummy militants shouting pro-Islamic slogan emerged on Thursday in Gujarat, a day after controversy erupted over men, playing the part of terrorists, being made to wear skullcaps in a similar exercise in Surat.

Reacting to the Surat episode that came to light on Wednesday, Chief Minister Anandi Patel admitted it as a “mistake” to show people posing as terrorists in the drill in skullcaps.

The latest video is of another anti-terror mock drill at Narmada dam site in Kevadia area of Narmada district. It shows policemen holding two dummy terrorists who were shouting “take our lives, if you want. Islam Zindabad (long live Islam)”.

When contacted by PTI, Narmada Superintendent of Police Jaypalsinh Rathore said an inquiry will be conducted into the issue.

“I came to know about this incident (of projecting terrorists as Muslims) through media. If such an incident has happened, we will conduct an inquiry and take necessary actions against those responsible,” he said.

“The mock drill was a routine police exercise which was conducted a week ago in Kevadia area,” Rathore added.

As the Surat episode generated controversy and invited criticism from several quarters, including from the chief of Gujarat BJP Minority Cell, Patel told a TV channel it is wrong to link religion with terrorism.

“It’s wrong to link religion with terrorism. The issue has been resolved and the matter should be put to rest now. The mistake has been rectified,” she said….

      Because it might offend the Muslim terrorists and upset those non existant peaceful muslims who might then be angered enough to lovingly behead somebody. All in the name of peace and living harmoniously together and muslim outreach to other religions/non religions of course.

      Yes we are terrorists and we’re proud to be terrorists, being called “terrorists” just proves how successful we are in terrorizing you.

        You don’t terrorize me in the least Mr. Wannabe jihadist. Mr. Libyan Jihad Pajama Boy of the jihadist movement instead of talking big why not join your fellow jihadists on the battlefield and get fragged by the infidel military’s of the world. I think the majority of the infidels of the west aren’t terrorized at all and would be more than happy to show you how we feel about your sick behavior. Killing innocent women and children all over the world what a thing to be proud about.Though I doubt you have the stones to go toe to toe with the infidel western military. After a day of having intercourse with your goat, you most likely spend the day drinking camel seaman at your local internet cafe. May a hellfire missile or an infidel bullet find you sooner rather than later.

      They certainly weren’t Buddhist monks. It seems as if political correctness is so contagious that it has spread to India.

        Worse, they specifically targeted a pregnant woman who was jewish in Mumbai, they hate idolaters with a vengeance , but the kaffirs are to be “subjugated” without fail and that seems to be idea with which they seem to operate, IS not islamic enough yet?chief taqquiya specialist Mr. Obummer and the Honorable Cleric Mr. Biden

        They believe that India is a unfinished chapter of islamic conquest/history, so it’s not as if they believe in pink unicorns doing “internal jihad” like Mr.Biden thinks Ayaan Hirsi Ali “misunderstands islam” perhaps Mr.Biden should re-educate us all how peaceful Mohammed though the world should be , “a kaffir free world” that is.

        Actually now that i think about it , perhaps the word “kaffir” is the most inclusive word of them all, the pinnacle of multicultural/dhimmi “monologue” from non-kaffirs unto kaffirs.

    It’s a mistake to train your police to deal with muslim terrorists because it may hurt their feelings?

    I could see this as a valid excuse and would actually be offended at the stereotyping if there were actually terrorists that were NOT muslim. Between my President’s refusal to admit that the Islamic State is Islamic and england recently jailing a man for burning a Koran in the same week they pulled the palace guards back behind a gate for safety instead of simply adding gards or putting gards in gard towers, we have already lost the war against the forces of anti-christiondom.

    But then again, I’m that guy sitting in my bedroom cleaning rifles at night hoping they DO come to America. Behind every blade of grass and all…

        “She who must be obeyed’ also called ‘mohammed’ a false prophet.
        Now, I would love to see peaceful, moderate muslims taking on to streets & burning copies of ‘She’ (a novel by Henry Rider Haggard).

    “It’s wrong to link religion with terrorism. The issue has been resolved and the matter should be put to rest now. The mistake has been rectified,” she said….

    I hope that means that the police was told not to allow filming of their training rather than being required to go through a “reeducation” camp…

    Of course, we should maintain the FANTASY that Islam has nothing to do with Islam.

    The Koran has nothing to do with terrorism: “TURHIBUNNA” (terrorize them) K.8.60 means serve tea.

    After decades of Muslim savagery against India and Hindus, here we have this hopeless excuse for man and Chief Minister wishing to punish those who accurately portrayed Muslim terrorists. What a pathetic coward! As if it will make Muslim terrorists nice guys and less likely to cause murder and mahem!

    Now where have we seen this kind of conduct before? Oh yes, all over the Western world.

    What’s wrong with a little REALISM?

    The only other group would be Hindu nationalists, but they don’t seem to crowd out the news with “terrorism,” “violent extremism,” etc. The Sikhs haven’t been heard from in a while. A Jain terrorist would be an oxymoron. The Parsis are in India because of the violent love, tolerant persecution, and murderous peace of Islam. Etc…, etc…, etc… Only the Muslims pose an existential threat to other groups in India.

    So, a little clear headedness about the threat is probably a good thing, no. Acha!

    One thing intrigues me why leaders in every country try to appease muslims?..knowing that they are the potential danger to society.

    The usual response from the left when we point out the undeniable connection between islam and terrorism is “oh yeah? what about Timothy McVeigh’? Thats when i laugh in their faces

    • Anti-Dhimmification says

      Jan 2, 2015 at 10:46 pm

      yes, the taqquiya specialists have taken in their fold the libtards, who see christian, hindu , buddhist, jain all sorts of terror, but the peace of islam is truly un-ending, so much peace, such peace…

      even the fat laughing buddha is probably a terrorist, but not those who “misunderstand islam”

    Plus Muslims In Pakistan and India like to paint the fiction that Hindus have a history of oppressing muslims, when it is clearly the other way around

    • Joginder Singh says

      Jan 2, 2015 at 2:35 pm

      The total failure known as pakistan has only exsisted since 1947 the inbred muslims that infest that so-called country are decended from forcibly converted Hindus, Buddhists,Jains, Christians and anyone else who was in the way by the mughals centuries ago

    ” and India’s ancient community of Christians must be fair game too!”
    Excellent historical footnote. Very few people are aware that there were Christian communities in India before there were any in Europe.
    I believe that the Apostle Thomas travelled to India shortly after the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, arriving on the Malabar coast around 40 AD.

    Never Forget Mumbai!

    The actual phone intercepts between the MUSLIMS killing indiscriminately in the name of ALLAH during the ISLAMIC attack on Mumbai: “Keep killing, keep killing, the dogs.”

    I see the jihadi mums made their little darlings wear balaclavas so they don’t get cold. I wonder if they have elastic attached to their gloves so they don’t lose them either? The little name tags on their heads probably contain their addresses in case they get lost.

    In India the problem is that 19% Muslim population lobby is so strong that they vote to the party like congress , samajwadi party , communist and TMC who justify jihadist activity as an act of self defence in a motive to occupy their vote.
    Some leaders like Digvijay Singh (Congress) also support Osama bin laden in open public meeting . On the other hand if Muslim slaughter cow in temples in Muslim dominated area or break Hindus and Buddhist stupas or burns churches or forcefully convert people theses party keeps mum. India is secular but other civil code for Muslims. You can’t say the truth of Qur’an if you say you have to leave India like Salman Rusdi did. On the name of secularism these party started movement to punish the participant of mock dill.
    Its true terrorism is nothing to do with religion and Islam is not religion its the criminalization of humanity.
    Shame to those who participate Taquiya (lies of Muslims in motive to advance ).
