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

India: Ex-Police Chief prosecuted for noting that rising Muslim birthrate would alter state’s demographics

Jul 18, 2017 9:59 am By Robert Spencer

What TP Senkumar said was factually correct:

Now, factually speaking, the first statement seems logically correct. If 27 per cent of the population is producing 42 per cent of the babies, then sooner or later that group will grow, and demography will change in its favour, especially in a democracy. There is precedent: take the Arab nation of Lebanon. In their last census in 1932, the ratio of Christians to Muslims was 51:49; with higher Muslim fertility and Christian emigration, the 2014 ratio was roughly 40:60. Yes, demographics can change in a few decades. Demography is history.

The second statement that the alleged “love jihad” exists in Kerala merely repeats an official response tabled in the Kerala Assembly in September 2012 by the then chief minister Oommen Chandy that in 2009-2012, 2,667 women converted to Islam (of which 2,195 were Hindus and 492 were Christians), 79 women to Christianity and two to Hinduism.

But it seems as if the whole world over, the truth is no defense: if you utter a word even remotely critical of Islam or Muslims, you will be liable to vilification, ostracism, and in some cases even criminal prosecution. Has the whole world adopted Sharia blasphemy laws?

“Former Kerala Police Chief TP Senkumar Booked Over Communal Comments,” by Neethu Reghukumar, News18, July 15, 2017 (thanks to Kerala):

Thiruvananthapuram: Former Kerala Police chief TP Senkumar was booked under non-bailable section of the IPC on Friday for allegedly spreading religious hatred through comments made during an interview to a magazine.

In the interview to Samakaalika Malayalam, Senkumar had said that the “rising” birthrate among Muslims in Kerala would alter the state’s demographics and had questioned the rising cases of “love jihad”.

The cyber wing of Crime Branch booked the former director general of police (DGP) under IPC 153(A).

According to police, the case was registered after seeking legal opinion from the Director General of Prosecutions, C Sreedharan Nair.

Police had received eight complaints that accused Senkumar of communal polarisation. DGP Loknath Behra had directed Crime Branch ADGP Nitin Aggarwal to conduct the investigation.

A case has also been registered against the magazine for publishing the controversial interview.

The police will be recording the statements of Senkumar and the magazine reporter.

Senkumar has refuted the allegations against him, claiming his comments had been misreported.

While the BJP and Sangh Parivar outfits backed him, the Left parties and the Muslim League hit out against Senkumar, accusing him of propagating the “saffron agenda”….

    “saffron agenda”? Apparently this is a reference to Hindu Nationalism; Saffron being the fabric of Hundu Sannyasis – Hindus that renounce worldly and materialistic pursuits and dedicate their lives to spiritual pursuits.

    One little catch, Hundus believe Islam was the cause of their Medieval Period and even the Sannyasis have been involved with resisting Islam.

    It’s just a matter of time before the 1947 Muslim-Hindu seperation to Pakistan is repeated. The appeasement efforts won’t work any better for India than it has for Europe – perhaps it should be called the “guaranteed failure agenda”.

    So Islam has criminalized words and thoughts in India too.

    It is sad but there is only one solution..other partition..but this time forcing all the Muslims of India to go and prohibit that cult. In Europe that is not possible, we are doomed. Europe will be Islamic in a few decades.

      Why isn’t that possible in Europe? It’s only a matter of having the political will to do it – there’s no concrete barrier stopping it.

        Ethnic Europeans will tend to gravitate East.

        A possible scenario: Sweden, Germany and France will be Muslim. Others will split in various ways.

    ” non-bailable section”

    A *crime* worse than murder. Using the brain to think and the mouth to speak truth.

    TRUTH IS NOT A DEFENCE AGAINST BIG BROTHER.

    Prosecuting retired Chief TP Senkumar for QUOTING STATISTICS of birth rates and crime rates are not a crime.

    It is up to people to figure out what should be done… how they should react. Retired chief Senkumar did not tell people they should attack Muslims. This is scandalous. Muslims need to start acting like grownups.

    aka Sunray
    Totalitarianism is having it’s way, because of the indoctrination of the last 2 generations of students, worldwide. Sadly, the history of the last century is not being heeded .

    As someone who strong believes in free speech I believe he has the right to say what he wants about demographics in a magazine whether it is true or not. Whether or not people ever recognize rights is a different issue. I wonder if he was in a different location in India if he would have received the same treatment. I think that it is as true in India as it is in other places that having people recognize your right to freedom of speech practically depends on where you are.
