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

Indian spiritual leader invites Islamic State to peace talks, they send him photo of beheaded man

Apr 22, 2016 1:07 pm By Robert Spencer

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar knows the truth: the Islamic State will keep on brutalizing and killing people until it is stopped by force. But if it lasts a few more years, its legitimization will begin, and it will follow the trajectory of the Palestine Liberation Organization in becoming respectable and winning concessions from the Infidels at the negotiating table.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

“Photo of beheaded man: ISIS’s reply to Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s peace message,” IANS, April 22, 2016 (thanks to Jaladhi):

AGARTALA: Spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar said on Thursday that he tried to open a dialogue with the Islamic State group but it rebuffed him by sending him a photograph of a beheaded man.

“I tried to initiate peace talks with the ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) recently but they sent me a photograph of a beheaded body of a man. Thus, my effort for a peace dialogue with the ISIS ended,” he said.

“I think the ISIS does not want any peace talks,” he told the media in Agartala. “Hence, they should be dealt with militarily.”…

Indeed.

    80 million Hindus/Sikhs murdered, millions of Hindu/Sikh women brutally raped and sold as sex slaves, hundreds of Hindu/Sikh cities reduced to rubble and tens of thousands of sacred Hindu/Sikh holy places defiled and desecrated by being turned into mosques by Muslims and this guy wanted peace talks with mass murdering butchers practicing REAL ISLAM.
    Sounds like the Hindu version of Pope Francis.

      The “spirits” that they are following are evil spirits.

      Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness;that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter

      Proverbs 3:33 The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.

      In Hinduism evn ur worst enemy must be given a chance to make peace,this is so as to appeal to their conscience. If enemy doesn’t accede to these overtures then ,concessions are asked like spare the minorities etc.if everything fails then all forms of violence and in endless amount till the enemy is not just defeated but totally wiped from the planet is desired from the believer (Hindu). Sparing the enemy in such a situation is unacceptable, they must be killed.

        These will never make peace with Hindus. In Islamic law, one Muslim male is worth two Christians, four Jews and eight Hindu males (and 16 Hindu females). We saw what happened in Mumbai a few years ago, and if not that, then over many centuries..

        You only extend “overtures” to those who are guided by reason, not by fanatically psychotic hatred & supremacism. Anyone who thinks otherwise is suffering from the mass neurosis of PC MC (or, in the case of Shankar, resides of the dhimmitude of his ancestors).

      The former British prime Minister William Gladstone knew that, when he held up a copy of the Koran in the Houses of Commons, described it an “accursed book” then said “So long as there’s this book, there will never be peace”. He was right big time.

    And this ISIS hatred is only going to get worse as more and more jihadis from around the world join their caliphate cause. Hate begets hate, islam is a bad seed growing among us. Muslims’ jihad agenda will become fiercer and more ruthless now that they have been exposed. The cries of “islamophobia” will be louder, the lawsuits more frequent, the false accusations more prevalent, the rhetoric more hateful, because brutality is the only method for those who preach unreasoned hate and bigotry. And of course, most sadly, their murder of us will grow to its full-bloom ugliness as their stealth tactics lose their force and effectiveness. It’s war unfolding before our bloodshot eyes.

    We can’t underestimate the enemy. They have a lot going for them. This is not going to be an easy fight, with Europe in tatters and almost collapsed and the left so firmly entrenched to help them destroy our culture and freedoms. But we do have the truth on our side and good morals too. We have rationality as our guide and some brilliant and courageous souls leading us through all this islamic hate and confusion. I always feel like I’m on the winning side even if it feels like we’re losing.

    Ravi Shankar you chutia (imbecile) have you not learnt anything from history and currernt events? Muslims hate Hindus more than they hate any other religious group by far. They have made a sport of massacring Hindus and celebrating and reveling in the blood-letting. In their eyes Hindus are evil – an abomination. Their lust for Hindu blood knows no bounds. They want to wipe Hindus off the face of earth if they can. What are you gonna do next? Lift up your dhoti and bend down in front of them? Appeasement and accommodation has not worked with Muslims; will never work. Show of strength is needed, bhai.

      Singh wrote: “Muslims hate Hindus more than they hate any other religious group”

      That is accurate: 80 million Hindus killed by Muslims. However, Muslim hatred of black Africans is greater: 120 million Africans killed during the Islamic slave trade.

    I’ve seen videos of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar (not to be confused with the Sitar virtuoso). He has an extremely soft spoken voice and always calling out for tolerance. He praises other faiths, including (naively), Islam. But sending an invitation to ISIS for ‘peace talks’ is incredibly naive, even dumb!

    “Sri Sri Ravi Shankar knows the truth”

    He is very well educated in Hinduism and Islam.

    What sort of peace talks or dialogue was Sri Sri Ravi Shankar thinking off?

    If Imam Obama, Imam David Cameron , and Imam John Kerry can achieve peace what can this infidel do?

    At least contrary to many infidels , this infidel realises that the solution is now military.

    I also say that education is the key,that is why Robert Spencer is so important with his articles books and comments.

    If you do not know what the problem is and how it arises( ideology) how can you find the solution.

    AS Koenraad Elst the Belgian historian said” the problem is Islam”

    http://koenraadelst.bharatvani.org/articles/AnwarShaikh.html

    For all his grim discoveries about the religion of the Muslims, Sheikh is not anti-Muslim: “I was not only born and bred as a Muslim but also fought grimly for the glory of Islam. Even today, my loved ones are Muslim. There is no way I can be anti-Muslim.” (p.306) Being a European outsider to Islam, I always get nasty replies when I say that “the problem is not Muslims, the problem is Islam”; but here you have it from the horse’s mouth. It is perfectly possible to retain warm feelings for Muslims yet leave Islam and even criticize Islam.

        Hi Sidney Penny,
        “He is very well educated in Hinduism and Islam.”
        You are wrong here. He is not very educated on Hinduism or Islam. If you think i am lying, please google for Sri Sri Vs Zakir Naik debate Bangalore. This Zakir Naik is a semi literate fraud. The pathetic thing was that he was quoting mantra after mantra from the Veda and giving a Islamic interpretation. Sri Sri could not counter even one point. He was saying useless things like he is not a scholar and there is nothing like love blah blah blah!!! You must note that in the traditional Hindu community he is not considered a guru. It is only among the urban yuppies of India(Who consider everything Indian crappy and demean India at every opportunity) and Corporates with butt loads of money and of course the leftist fiberal media houses like CNN-IBN, NDTV etc is he considered a guru.

        This man lives in an Utopia and is not realistic

          Interesting details. A glimpse into the Indian para-culture of what could be termed an odd amalgam of Leftism & neo-dhimmitude; a para-culture that may well be sociopolitically dominant in India.

    • Singh the Sikh says

      I tend to use the term ‘Muslim’ rather loosely at times. The culprit is Islam. Muslims are the offsprings or products of the corrupt and devious deology we call Islam. Many among them are good people and the majority might not engage in direct, physical violence. However too many within the community support violence in one form or another, and united in their loyalty to the underlying ideology that binds them. In my country of origin, Fiji, Muslims are a minority, peaceful and industrious, with no tensions with other religious groups. However many mosques in fiji quietly held a 2-minute silence in honour of their martyr Bin-laden. What to make of that?

      • Fessitude says

        Apr 23, 2016 at 1:40 pm

        “I tend to use the term ‘Muslim’ rather loosely at times. The culprit is Islam.”

        Such a distinction is flawed & misguided on four accounts:

        1) it fails to apprehend the elementary fact that whatever is bad about Islam only affects us when Muslims put it into practice;

        2) it assumes we can tell the difference, with sufficient reliability, between dangerous Muslims and harmless Muslims (even generously assuming the latter exist in appreciable numbers);

        3) it tends to reinforce the notion that we must accept Muslims in the West as a fait accompli (which then makes it more difficult for us to limit their numbers and to limit their pursuit & practice of Islam) — which brings me finally to:

        4) it assumes we will be able to control an already large (and continuing to grow) demographic by instituting deep and broad disrespect of perhaps the most important symbol & vehicle of their self-identity, their Islam. Perhaps with any other subcultural demographic, this might be doable, insofar as other subcultural groups and peoples don’t have an ultra-violent martial culture as Islam does and don’t have the supremacist prickliness & chip on their shoulder which Muslims have cultivated; but with regard to Muslims, it seems implausible that we can continue to abide their presence while also mistreating them on such a deep existential level as the Muslims will perceive any substantive limitations on their practice of Islam to be.

        As an analogy I offer this —

        Although it may be good to be against crime in general as a (long term) strategy but during a photo line up it is necessary to point out the culprit to stop the criminal’s immediate criminal behavior.

      In 1939 it was the other way around. Hitler wanted peace talks, Chamberlain, and especially Churchill on the sideline wanted the war to continue and rejected any peace talks.

    Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s dementia is the eerie mirror-image of the ISIS psychosis: this little tragicomedy reflects in microcosm (through the warped prism of British-deformed Indian dhimmitude) the protracted, complex catastrophe of the post-rational West in its death throes — so protracted and complex, most (even in the Counter-Jihad, it seems, at least not without caricaturing it in terms of a Mad Max movie) can’t see its full, vertiginous horror unfolding in the deceptively ordinary slo-mo of It can’t be so bad that we would actually be forced, for our own survival, to do something to Muslims, like deport the lot of them.

    The problem with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is he wants to be nice to everyone ( including Indian Muslims) and by reaching out to the Islamic State he want to show that they are not true Muslims like Indian Muslims.That is, he wants to be politically correct.
    Read this article by Elst on Islam in India to understand what I mean.

    An accurate portrayal of Sri Sri. He does not understand any religion(Atleast Islam and Vedic religion) from the original scriptures. All platitudes and assumptions of what he thinks a religion should be than what it is actually is. I am afraid that giving him prominence might push the traditionally practicing Hindus to the corner. But in his ashrama in kanakapura he seems to be doing a good job of feeding the poor. That should be handed to him

    Perhaps Sri could go and live in Saudi Arabia and talk peace there. Good luck with that.
