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

India: Muslims threaten to cut off writer’s arm and leg if he doesn’t convert to Islam within 6 months

Jul 22, 2017 11:30 am By Robert Spencer

He has been accused of “misleading” Muslim youth. Apparently the pious Muslims who are threatening him think he is causing “corruption in the land,” as per this verse of the Qur’an: “Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and cause corruption in the land is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment” (5:33).

“Embrace Islam in 6 months else lose arm, leg: Threat to Malayali author,” PTI, July 22, 2017:

Thiruvananthapuram/Thrissur: A renowned Malayali author and a woman college lecturer have complained to the police of receiving threats even as Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Friday said his government would not ignore threats to those who expressed progressive views.

Efforts to tarnish those with progressive opinions on the social media and making death threats to them would not be accepted, Vijayan said on Facebook.

“Those who feel that independent voices can be gagged by threats are living in a fool’s paradise,” he wrote.

The chief minister’s statement comes in the wake of Malayali author KP Ramanunni lodging a police complaint on Friday regarding an anonymous threat letter, warning him that his right arm and left leg would be chopped off if he did not convert to Islam within six months.

The letter was sent to Ramanunni’s Kozhikode residence six days ago.

The writer said though there was no indication as to who was behind the letter, it was understood that it was posted from Manjeri in Malappuram district.

“I am not aware of the motive behind the letter. I filed a complaint with the Kozhikode city police commissioner today, urging him to look into the matter,” he said.

Ramanunni said though he had ignored the letter initially, other senior writers advised him to file the police complaint.

The letter alleged that some of the recent articles written by the award-winning writer amounted to “misleading” the Muslim youth.

It also warned that Ramanunni would meet the same fate as that of professor TJ Joseph, whose right arm was chopped off by the members of a radical Muslim outfit for allegedly hurting their religious sentiments through a question paper he had set.

“Like TJ Joseph, your right arm will be cut off…your left leg too. You are given six months to convert to Islam. If you do not embrace Islam, we will inflict Allah’s punishment on you,” the letter said.

The police said a probe was launched on the basis of Ramanunni’s complaint.

The right arm of Joseph, who was a professor in the Thodupuzha Newman College, was chopped off while he was returning home from the Sunday mass at a church in Muvattupuzha in Ernakulam district on July 4, 2010.

A novelist and short story writer, Ramanunni is a recipient of the Kerala Sahitya Academy Award and Vayalar Award among other literary acclaims….

      Except for hijra, why are they still there? They have all kinds of muslim dominated countries within spitting distance, so they can just skip the hell out of there.

    India is very tolerant in accepting the presence of such a large Muslim minority, unlike Pakistan, which has all but eliminated its Hindu minority – a situation analogous to Israel, which has a large Muslim minority, unlike her Arab neighbors where Jews are a small remnant. But such magnanimity can cost you an arm and a leg…

      You ended your comment, which is sage, serious and completely true, with the most magnificent self-referencing pun ever. Kudos!

      The Mafia has and always has had a moral foundation – and while it has often been distorted it is still based in real morals. Unlike Islam which is rooted in depravity.

        Even the Mafia, unlike Hamas, collected the garbage every week.

        The mafia did much of the same stuff but not so openly or obviously they didn’t glorify it in the middle of the street and they didn’t want to die doing it – they weren’t stupid lol .

        they also enjoyed a drink and other stuff like gambling, indicating at least a degree of consistency regards the gangster lifestyles

        Piety and gangsterism is the worst and the weirdest combination ever conceived of.

          Remember the Mafia came into being to protect the people of Sicily and Italy from the Islamic invaders. I was talking about what its purpose was and how it was rooted in protecting people.

      “Islam is the fastest growing mafia (sorry i mean religion) in the world!”

      • Donald R Laster Jr says

        Jul 23, 2017 at 1:48 pm

        Don’t fall for the lie it is a religion. Islam is a theocracy at war with all non-Islamic States and societies. Its citizens are obligated to invaded and impose Islamic rule (Shar’iah Law) however they can on the places they are located. This is a war that has been going on for 1400 years since Mohammad’s lies about his god Hubal were rejected by most people. Remember the word “allah” when translated is “the god”. It is not a name.

    Reminiscent of an attack that happened in Kerala, India in July 2010: A Christian college professor T.J. Joseph had his hand chopped off for “blasphemy” against Mohammed. https://www.google.ca/search?site=&source=hp&q=College+professor%27s+hand+chopped+in+Kerala+India&oq=College+professor%27s+hand+chopped+in+Kerala+India&gs_l=psy-ab.3…8058.44508.0.44876.81.70.10.0.0.0.207.6218.58j9j1.68.0….0…1.1.64.psy-ab..3.69.5744.0..0j46j0i131k1j35i39k1j0i46k1j0i131i46k1j46i131k1j0i22i30k1j0i13k1j0i13i5i30k1j33i22i29i30k1j33i21k1j33i160k1.zyyy5BT_5AY#
