SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF AGNIHOTRA/HAVAN/YAJYAN: Ashish Arya

 

Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati in the third chapter(Samullas) of Satyarth Prakash answers about scientific nature of havan .”Those who know about matter know it for sure that matter never dies. Matter under the fire doesn’t get destroyed. It transforms from one state to another state. Fire enhances the character of matter. Only scent has not the disintegrating power to rid the house of its impure air , and replace it by the fresh pure air. It is fire alone which possesses that power, whereby it breaks up the impurities of the air , and reduces them to their component parts, which, getting lighter, are expelled from the house and replaced by fresh air from outside.”

He further says” In the ‘Golden Days’ of India ,saint and seers , princes and princesses, king and queens, and other people used to spend a large amount of time and money in performing and helping others to perform Homa ; and so long as this system lasted, India was free from disease and its people were happy. It can become again, if the same system were revised.”

 

Air pollution is a major environmental risk to health. By reducing air pollution levels, countries can reduce the burden of disease from stroke, heart disease, lung cancer, and both chronic and acute respiratory diseases, including asthma.  The lower the levels of air pollution, the better the cardiovascular and respiratory health of the population will be, both long- and short-term. Outdoor air pollution is a major environmental health problem affecting everyone in developed and developing countries alike.

WHO estimates that some 80% of outdoor air pollution-related premature deaths were due to ischemic heart disease and strokes, while 14% of deaths were due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or acute lower respiratory infections; and 6% of deaths were due to lung cancer. Ambient (outdoor air pollution) in both cities and rural areas was estimated to cause 3.7 million premature deaths worldwide per year in 2012; this mortality is due to exposure to small particulate matter of 10 microns or less in diameter (PM10), which cause cardiovascular and respiratory disease, and cancers.

 In addition to outdoor air pollution, indoor smoke is a serious health risk for some 3 billion people who cook and heat their homes with biomass fuels and coal. Some 4.3 million premature deaths were attributable to household air pollution in 2012. Almost all of that burden was in low-middle-income countries as well.

Six Common Air Pollutants,  known as “criteria  pollutants” are particulate matter, ground level ozone, carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides.

Summary of Health Effects of Basic Air Pollutants:   

Carbon Monoxide-Poor  reflexes, Ringing in the ears, Headache, Dizziness, Nausea, Breathing Difficulties, Drowsiness, Reduced work capacity, Comatose state (can lead to death)

Lead (Pb)-Kidney Damage, Reproductive system damage, Nervous system damage (including brain dysfunction and altered neurophysical

behaviours)

Oxides of Nitrogen(NOX)- Increased risk of viral infections, Lung irritation (including pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema),Higher respiratory illness rates, Airway resistance, Chest tightness and discomfort, Eye burning, Headache

 Ozone (O3)-Respiratory system damage (lung damage from free radicals),Reduces mental activity, Damage to cell lining (especially in nasal

passage),Reduces effectiveness of the immune system, Headache ,Eye irritation, Chest discomfort, Breathing difficulties, Chronic lung diseases ( including asthma and emphysema),Nausea

Sulphur dioxide (SO2)-Aggravates heart and lung diseases, Increases the risk for respiratory illness (including chronic bronchitis, asthma, pulmonary emphysema),Cancer ( may not show for decades after exposure)

Respirable Particulate Matter(PM10) -Respiratory illness (including chronic bronchitis, increased asthma attacks, pulmonary emphysema),Aggravates heart disease

Results of Some Recent Experiments on Havan:

 EXPERIMENT -1

Prof.Pushpendra K.Sharma, S.Ayub, C.N.Tripathi, S.Ajnavi, S. K.Dubey (Professors ,Civil & Env.Engineering,HCST,Mathura & AMU, Aligarh,UP, INDIA)  conducted yajyan,  in laboratory and artificially generated pollution conditions. After taking 5-10 readings and studying all the different methodologies, using almost 324 Ahuties yajyan with clarified cow butter (ghee),Pipal wood (Ficusr eligiosa),Havan samagri (kapurkachari, gugal, nagarmotha, balchhaar or jatamansi, narkachura,sugandhbela, illayachi, jayphal, cloves and  dalchini etc.),they came across a conclusion that the air pollution of criteria pollutants can be effectively reduced opting column method using locally available materials and without adding any chemicals. Under the natural lab conditions and after creating local and artificial indoor air pollution it was noticed that Sox, Nox were considerably reduced by almost 51%, 60%respectively more by yajyan when compared without yajyan and both RSPM & SPM were also found to be reduced by 9% & 65% respectively more as compared to the condition without yajyan. Although the RSPM & SPM concentrations were still there but not to the extent of unhygienic conditions. The odor and smell of the Havan hall was not  at all objectionable.

 

EXPERIMENT -2

A group of scientists led by Dr. Manoj Garg, Director, Environmental and Technical Consultants and the Uttar Pradesh pollution control board conducted experiments during the Yajyan at Gorakhpur, U.P. These experiments were set up at about 20 meters east from the Yajyanshala. The samples of 100 ml each of water and air collected from the surroundings were
analyzed using high volume Envirotech APM-45 and other sensitive instruments. :

In Air Samples (unit mg per average sample) 

Instant Level of Sulphur dioxide Level of Nitrous Oxide
Before Yajyan 3.36 1.16
During  Yajyan 2.82 1.14
After Yajyan 0.80 1.02


Bacteria Count in Average Water Samples

Before Yajyan 4500 
During Yajyan 2470

 

After Yajyan 1250

 

 

  Minerals in the Ash (Bhasm) of Yajyan

Phosphorous 4076 mg per kg. Potassium 3407 mg per kg. Calcium 7822 mg per kg. Magnesium 6424 mg per kg. Nitrogen 32 mg per kg. Quispar 2% W/W These results clearly support the claims made about the role of Yagna in control of air pollution. The Deputy Director, Agriculture had submitted a technical report based on such results, recommending the use of Yagna’s ash as an effective fertilizer.

EXPERIMENT- 3

A study of Agnihotra yajyan effect on environment and plants was performed in New English School, Ramanbaug by Pranay Abhang (Teaching Associate, Institute of Bioinformatics and Biotechnology,Savitribai Phule Pune University,Pune) and Manasi Patil under the guidence of Dr.Pramod Moghe (Rtd.Sr.Scientist NCL,Pune) and Dr.G.R.Pathade(Principal,H.V.Desai College, Pune) with the support of Dr.R.G.Pardeshi, Mr.Purandare and Mr.Pathak.

To study the effect of Agnihotra on environment and plants, Agnihotra was performed in the School daily for the period of 8 days and experiments were carried out. The change in light intensity was measured before and after Agnihotra with help of lux meter. Agnihotra has tremendous effect on the environment. To observe the effect of Agnihotra fumes on microbial count in surrounding environment, the colony count was taken before and after Agnihotra. The result showed significant decrease in colony count after Agnihotra, which means Agnihotra reduces microbial load in the air. School is located on one of the busiest roads of Pune. Heavy traffic moves around the school. It was seen that SOx levels dropped significantly after performing Agnihotra while NOx levels remain  the same clearly stating that it can keep the pollutants in the surrounding air under check. Water released from houses, factories etc. contain many pathogens which lead to diseases ,When Agnihotra ash was added to this water it was found that the biological oxygen demand was decreased and the microbial count reduced considerably. It  was also observed Agnihotra ash when used for plants,there was increase in plant growth. With minimum expenditure on the yajyan one can relish enormous benefits.For the more details of this research visit to the given link below

Letter: We can’t trust those bent upon our destruction

As best can be surmised from the writings in the Hadith and Sira, the Islamic chronicles of the Muhammad’s life, the prophet, persecuted in Mecca moved his followers 300 miles north to Medina, where the Muslim community became a political entity central to Islam. From this base he began raids on the Meccan caravans which started a war lasting 10 years until Mecca fell to the Muslims. Critics of Islam were put to death, and wars were waged in Allah’s name against Jews and Christians. When the Jews of Qurayza surrendered they were confined to Medina, where the apostle had trenches dug in the market, and struck off the heads of between 600-700 men or more, while dividing up the property, women, and children among his men and taking a fifth of the spoils for himself. Women and prepubescent girls were used for slaves and sex. Muhammad himself took a 9-year-old wife, because of a dream which convinced him it was God’s will.

After the fall of Mecca, Muhammad received Surah 9:29 which says, Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgement of superiority and they are in a state of subjection. In other words, fight non- Muslims until they submit to Islam. In further verses the words of the Quran urges followers to kill all who reject Allah in Jihad, a religious duty, a test which those who kill pass.

Radical Islam is about establishing a caliphate, which is an Islamist state led by a caliph, a political and religious leader, and a successor to the prophet, with absolute power and authority. The violent verses of the Quran have played a key role in massacres and genocide, and the slaughter of millions of Hindus for five centuries.

Islam never gives up what it conquers, does not tolerate, openly practices every standard by which the West is condemned, including slavery, imperialism, intolerance, misogyny, sexual repression and warfare, and is given weight by the Quran’s divine command.

How then do you trust a theocracy bent on your destruction and determined to take over the world?

The Syrian refugee crisis poses a threat to any country since ISIS has already used the event to smuggle radicals into other nations with terrible prophesized results. Wednesday a clearly radical terrorist of the Islamic faith began and ended his Jihad in San Bernardino. How many more will we allow?

ISLAM IS NEVER A RELIGION OF PEACE

Sir,

I want to react quite sharply to the newspaper article titledd:  ‘WE COME IN PEACE – SIET’ published by the Times of Swaziland, dated November 24, 2015 – Page 7. In the article, the Swaziland Islamic Education Trust (SIET), through their mouthpiece, a certain Mr Saeed Matsebula, sought to dispel fears with regard to Islam being seen by many as a religion of war, strife, anger and rampant violence throughout the world.
In the article, SIET unequivocally denied that Islam is really a religion of war and violence. According to them, Islam is a religion of peace and good neighbourliness. This is not true.
Islam not only condones violence; it commands it. A tree is known by its fruit. The fruit of Islam is 1 400 years of violence and bloodshed around the world.

The Quran teaches: “Fight and slay the Pagans wherever you find them and seize them, beleaguer them, lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war)” – SURAH 9:5. SURAH 5:33 also says, “The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, strive with might and main for the mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet, or exile from the land: that is the disgrace in this world and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter”.
I do not have time to enumerate the uncountable episodes of violence that have been staged by Islamic extremists throughout the world, in the name of obeying their god, whom they call Allah. The highest honour in Islam is to die a martyr killing Christians and Jews whom they call infidels. The one who does this awakes in an Islamic heaven surrounded by 70 virgins.
Muhammad the founder of Islam, who was a polygamist with thirteen wives, slaughtered thousands of people in establishing Islam and spreading Islam.
He told his followers: “He who relinquishes his faith, kill him. I have been ordered by Allah to fight with people till they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is his messenger.”
Muhammad’s life can be divided into two parts: the years of tolerance in Mecca and the years of aggression in Medina.
The Quran is basically about those two parts, which is why at times the Quran seems to indicate that Islam teaches its followers to live at peace with their enemies. When Muhammad began to preach his religion to the people, he believed that a peaceful religion was a good scheme for attracting people to the teachings of Islam. When he realised that his attempts to win people to his religion by peaceful means were unsuccessful, he then resorted to violence and jihad (holy war), winning people to his religion by the sword.
This is what is happening today in the Republic of Nigeria, where Islamic fanatics dubbed ‘Boko Haram’ are recruiting people to Islam by waging an unending war, abducting innocent girls into forests where they are not only raped and shamefully reduced to zero, but are forcefully kept there, so as to be indoctrinated with the teachings of Islam.
The god of Islam is totally different from the God we know. They call their god ‘Allah’. The name Allah came from an Arabic word that had to do with the worship of the moon god in pre-Islamic Arabia. In Islam, Allah is unknowable. He is so exalted that no man can ever personally know him. The Quran tells us that the god of Islam works with Satan and demons to lead people astray in order to populate hell which he created (Surah 6:39, 126; 32:13; 43:36-37).
The basic teaching of the Quran, which is  being distributed free of charge in the country, is that Allah told Muhammad to kill and maim anyone who did not believe in Allah or in Muhammad his prophet. Islam follows a theology of triumphalism – the dominance of one’s nation, ideology or religious creed over another. To a Muslim, it is Allah’s will for Islam to rule the world.
This word ‘Islam’ does not mean peace. It means submission. Their key objective is for everyone to submit to them. That is why the Islamic prayer tower is the highest point in every city. It must have a position of physical supremacy.
In conclusion, I wish to state that we are very blessed as a country in that God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, appeared in a vision to our King Somhlolo and showed him two things: money and the Bible. God advised our king that as a nation we should choose the Bible and only the Bible not the Quran or whatsoever.
Swaziland, because of her sheer vulnerability, which is stemming from the fact that she is a ‘poor’ country and as such she is finding herself in a position of being a professional beggar, now finds herself in a very difficult position: either to obey the God of Abraham, Isaac or Jacob, or trade that belief with following Islam because the owners of Islam are the Haves (they own oil) and we are the Have-nots.
They come in peace, ‘yes’, but it is only for a short season. They are still establishing themselves. Once that is over, Swaziland will realise that peace and Islam are two things that are mutually exclusive. And at that time, it will be very late to make any reversal. It will only be a hopeless situation like what is happening in Nigeria and Somali, to mention a few countries.
It is so difficult for them to deal decisively with Boko Haram and Al Shabaab, organisations which began as peaceful entities under the banner of Islam but are now a cancer, not only to these countries but to the world as a whole.
Show me a peaceful member of Islam then I will show you a hypocrite of Islam.

Islam a religion of violence: Danish study says

Islam a religion of violence; Quran directly incites terror, killing people of other faiths, Danish study says

Although Muslims and even some Christians call Islam a religion of peace, a new study by a Danish expert concluded that Islam, in fact, is a violent faith.

The study was reported by Jihad Watch, a group that records the killings done in the name of Islam, and WND.

Danish linguist Tina Magaard led a team of researchers who for three years studied the texts of the holy books of the world’s 10 biggest religions, the Jihad Watch report said.

“The conclusion was clear: ‘The texts of Islam [are] clearly distinct from the other religions’ texts as [they include] a higher degree call for violence and aggression against followers of other faiths.’

“There are also direct incitement[s] to terror … Moreover, in the Quran [there are] hundreds of invitations to fight against people of other faiths,” the report said.

Magaard, who holds a Ph.D. in text analysis and intercultural communication from the Sorbonne in Paris, said “it is indisputable that the texts [of Islam] encourage violence and terror.”

For instance, the study noted a verse in Quran 47:4, which states, “So when you meet those who disbelieve, strike their necks until you have inflicted slaughter upon them.”

“The fact that Islam is the world’s most violent religion is most likely the reason why Muslims since September 11, 2011, [have] committed more than 27,000 deadly terrorist attacks in the name of Islam. This corresponds to approximately 2,000 a year or five a day,” Jihad Watch pointed out.

Jihad Watch also noted that 80 percent of young Turks in the Netherlands “see ‘nothing wrong’ in waging jihad against non-Muslims.”

What is even more worrisome, according to the report, is that “the number of Muslims in the Western world is increasing dramatically and that they are becoming still more religious.”

It said “75 percent of Muslims inside Europe think that the texts of the world’s most violent religion must be taken literal.”

The Danish research also cited another study on 45,000 teenagers which concluded that “boys growing up in religious Muslim families are more likely to be violent.”

The author of that study, Christian Pfeiffer, from a criminal research institute in Lower Saxony, Germany, said even when other social factors are taken into account, there remained a significant correlation between “religiosity and readiness to use violence.”

As to be expected, the Jihad Watch report immediately drew a negative backlash from supporters of Islam.

Imam Abdul Wahid Peteresen, of Copenhagen, said the research inappropriately took quotes out of context. He asked: If Islam truly advocates violence against non-Muslims, why has Islam not “eradicated all other faiths in the communities where Muslims are in the majority?”

OpEd: How Islam Creates Sociopaths: Nicolai Sennels

Psychopathic people and behavior are found within all cultures
and religions. But one tops them all — by many lengths

The daily mass killings, terror, persecutions and family executions committed by the followers of Islam are nauseating, and the ingenuity behind the attacks — always looking for new and more
effective ways of killing and terrorizing people — is astonishing: hijacking jumbo jets and flying them into skyscrapers, hunting unarmed and innocent people with grenades and automatic
rifles in shopping malls, planting bombs in one’s own body, using model airplanes as drones, attaching large rotating blades to pickup trucks and using them as human lawn movers, killing
family members with acid or fire, hanging
people publicly from cranes in front of cheering
crowds, etc.in addition to stabbing people in the back, shooting parents in front of their children, slitting throats of sleeping babies, etc. It makes one ask oneself: what creates such lack of empathy and almost playful and creative attitude towards murdering perceived enemies? This is a question for psychologists like me.

Studying the Muslim mind 

Nobody is born a mass murderer, a rapist or a violent criminal. So what is it in the Muslim culture that influences their children in a way that makes so relatively many Muslims harm other people?

As a psychologist in a Danish youth prison, I had a unique chance to study the mentality of Muslims. 70 percent of youth offenders in
Denmark have a Muslim background. I was able to compare them with nonMuslim  clients from the same age group with more or less
the same social background. I came to the conclusion that Islam and Muslim culture have certain psychological mechanisms that harm
people’s development and increase criminal behavior.
I am, of course, aware that Muslims are different, and not all Muslims follow the Quran’s violent and perverted message and their prophet’s equally embarrassing example. But as with all other religions, Islam also influences its followers and the culture they live in.
One could talk about two groups of psychological mechanisms that both singly and combined increase violent behavior. One group is mainly connected with religion, which aims at indoctrinating Islamic values in children as early as possible and with whatever means necessary, including violence and intimidation.
One can understand a Muslim parent’s concern about his offspring’s
religious choices, because the Sharia orders the death penalty for their  children should they pick another religion than their parents.
The other group of mechanisms are more cultural and psychological.
These cultural psychological mechanisms are a natural consequence of being influenced by a religion like Islam and stemming from a 1,400 year old tribal society with very limited freedom to develop beyond what the religion allows.
Classical Brainwashing Methods in the Upbringing
Brainwashing people into believing or doing things against their own
human nature — such as hating or even killing innocents they do not even know — is traditionally done by combining two things: pain and repetition.
The conscious infliction of psychological and physical suffering breaks down the person’s resistance to the constantly repeated message.
Totalitarian regimes use this method to reform political dissidents. Armies in less civilized countries use it to create ruthless soldiers, and religious sects all over the world use it to fanaticize their followers.
During numerous sessions with more than a hundred Muslim clients, I found that violence and repetition of religious messages are prevalent in Muslim families.
Muslim culture simply does not have the same degree of understanding of human development as in civilized societies, and physical pain and threats are therefore often the preferred tool to raise children. This is why so many Muslim girls grow up to accept violence in their marriages, and why Muslim boys grow up to learn that violence is acceptable. And it is the main reason why nine out of ten children removed from their parents by authorities in Copenhagen are from immigrant families. The Muslim
tradition of using pain and intimidation as part of disciplining children is also widely used in Muslim schools — also in the West.
Combined with countless repetitions of Quranic verses in Islamic schools and families, all this makes it very difficult for children to defend themselves against being indoctrinated to follow the Quran, even if it is against secular laws, logic, and the most basic understanding of compassion.
And as we know from so many psychological studies, whatever a child is strongly influenced by at that age takes an enormous personal effort to change later in life. It is no wonder that Muslims in general, in spite of Islam’s inhumane nature and obvious inability to equip its followers with humor, compassion and other attractive qualities, are stronger in their faith than any other religious group.

Four Enabling Psychological Factors

Not only does a traditional Islamic upbringing resemble classical brainwashing methods, but also, the culture it generates cultivates four psychological characteristics that further enable and increase violent

behavior.
These four mental factors are
● anger
● lack of selfconfidence
● no sense of responsibility for oneself
● intolerance
When it comes to anger, Western societies widely agree that it is a sign of weakness. Uncontrolled explosions of this unpleasant feeling are maybe the fastest way of losing face, especially in Northern countries, and though angry people may be feared, they are never respected. In Muslim culture, anger is much more accepted, and being able to intimidate people is seen as strength and source of social status. We even see ethnic Muslim groups or countries proudly declare whole days of anger, and use expressions such as “holy anger” — a term that seems contradictory in peaceful cultures.
In Western societies, the ability to handle criticism constructively if it is justified, and with a shrug if it is misguided, is seen as an expression of self confidence and authenticity.
As everyone has noticed, this is not the case among Muslims. Here
criticism, no matter how true, is seen as an attack on one’s honor, and it is expected that the honor is restored by using whatever means necessary to silence the opponent. Muslims almost never attempt to counter criticism with logical arguments; instead, they try to silence the criticism by pretending to be offended or by name calling, or by threatening or even killing the messenger.

The third psychological factor concerns responsibility for oneself, and here the psychological phenomenon “locus of control” plays a major role. People raised by Western standards generally have an inner locus of control, meaning that they experience their lives as governed by inner factors, such as one’s own choices, world view, ways of handling and situations, etc. Muslims are raised to experience their lives as being controlled from the outside.

Everything happens “insha’ Allah” — if Allah wills — and the many
religious laws, traditions and powerful male authorities leave little room for individual responsibility. This is the cause for the embarrassing and world famous Muslim victim mentality, where everybody else is blamed and to be punished for the Muslims’ own self created situation.

Finally, the fourth psychological factor making Muslims vulnerable to the violent message in the Quran concerns tolerance. While Western societies in general define a good person as being open and tolerant, Muslims are told that they are superior to non Muslims,
destined to dominate non Muslims, and that they must distance themselves socially and emotionally from non Muslims.
The many hateful and dehumanizing verses in the Quran and the Hadiths against non Muslims closely resemble the psychological propaganda that leaders use against their own people in order to prepare them mentally for fighting and killing the
enemy. Killing another person is easier if you hate him and do not
perceive him as fully human.

Why Islam Creates Monsters
The cultural and psychological cocktail of anger, low self esteem,
victim mentality, a willingness to be blindly guided by outer authorities, and an aggressive and discriminatory view toward non Muslims, forced upon Muslims through pain, intimidation and mind numbing repetitions of the Quran’s almost countless verses promoting hate and violence against nonMuslims,
is the reason why Islam creates monsters.

The Psychological Problem within Islam
The problem with Islam and Muslim culture is that there are so many psychological factors pushing its followers towards a violent attitude against nonMuslims that a general violent clash is — at least from a perspective — inevitable. With such strong pressure and
such strong emotions within such a large group of people — all pitched against us — we are facing the perfect storm, and I see no possibilities of turning it around. For people to change, they have to want it, to be allowed to change, and to be able to change — and only a tiny minority of Muslims have such lucky conditions.

Far too many people underestimate the power of psychology embedded in religion and culture. As we have already seen, no army of social workers, generous welfare states, sweet talking
politicians, politically correct journalists or democracy promoting
soldiers can stop these enormous forces. Sensible laws on immigration and Islamization in our own countries can limit the amount of suffering, but based on my education and professional experience as a psychologist for Muslims, I estimate that we
will not be able to deflect or avoid this many sided,
aggressive movement against our culture.

I do believe that we, as a democratic and educated society can become focused and organized concerning the preservation of our values and constitutions, can win this ongoing conflict started by the often inbred followers of Sharia. The big question is how much of our dignity, our civil rights, and our blood, money and tears will we lose in the process.

We Now Have Concrete Proof for Love Jihad By Balbir Punj

After several instances of young Muslim boys enticing Hindu and Christian girls in Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra and several other parts of the country with the show of wealth and promises of marriage and then, ferrying them to Kashmir and other places, converting them and recruiting them forcibly into Islamist Jihad came to light, concerns at this Love Jihad were raised. But, our so-called secularist lobby started dismissing these concerns as myths and communal propaganda. What happened last week when the United Arab Emirates (UAE) deported to India a Hyderabad resident lady on charges of secretly working as a recruiting agent for the ISIS through a concealed identity has blasted the secularists’ apology on the charges of Love Jihad. On her arrival from Abu Dhabi, the National Investigation Agency took her into custody and is unravelling her past life as a recruiter for the barbaric killers in the name of religion that the Syria-Iraq based militant movement has turned out to be.

The story of Afsha Jabeen from Hyderabad turns out to be a mix of 26/11 recee agent of Pakistan’s state-supported militant organisation of Hafiz Sayeed and the several Love Jihad Islamist teenagers who were engaged by jihadi organisations for recruiting unsuspecting girls from non-Muslim communities to the Islamist cause. David Headley, who toured India collecting details for staging the 26/11 massacre in Mumbai, claiming to be a Christian and a businessman, was actually a Muslim. He assumed a Christian name to mask his identity and gain unsuspecting access in India. Pakistan’s ISI and Hafiz Sayeed’s JuD were his real handlers. As we know now, he was unmasked while in the US and is currently in jail. American authorities have agreed to share with India much of the details they have gathered after his arrest. In the US itself, he was probably a double agent pretending to work for the anti-terrorism agency but actually was working all the time for the Islamist cause in Pakistan.

The plot in the case of the Hyderabad lady is the same but it is the woman who now assumes a Christian name to hide her real identity and carry on recruitment for the ISIS by luring unsuspecting young men to marry her. It has now come to light that she also pretended to be a British resident settled in the UAE so she could carry greater conviction and persuade her intended victims that they stand to gain by getting to move to the UAE. Her virtual life on Facebook and other social media was so effectively secretive, even her husband — a Hindu working in Abu Dhabi, himself a victim of her charm and had converted to Islam to marry her — was not aware of her secretive work carried on the social media by pretending to be a Christian.

She assumed many Christian names, mainly Nicole Joseph, to make her victims believe that they were getting into a relationship with a British national  and therefore, have a chance of landing up in the UK. The intended victim, knowing her only on the social media, would be wheedled into the ISIS camp through her machinations. After an electronic engineer, a Muslim himself, was lured by her and was persuaded to come to Syria, his attempts to get a visa to that country got the IB to zero in on her.

“She used her false identity to attract non-Muslims to take up Islam like her,” the IB has been quoted in the report about her arrest as soon as she landed in Hyderabad following her extradition from the UAE. The IB was following the lead obtained from the Hyderabad engineer, who was seeking to go to Syria, for the last six months to provide enough documentation of her being an ISIS agent and compel the UAE police to extradite her. The treaty that India has with the UAE  makes it mandatory to send back to India suspected criminal elements from here seeking refuge in the UAE from the law here. Too clever by half, she had withdrawn from her virtual life once her intended victim boasted about his intention to go to Syria and thus, drew attention to such clandestine activities through the Facebook.

The IB could trace her work back to 2008 when she launched a Facebook group called “Islam vs Christianity”, the title being innocent in itself till the intelligence agencies dug up and found much dirt. “Even her husband, Devender Kumar Batra, himself a convert to Islam, was not aware of her virtual life as a recruiting agent…,” the IB is quoted as saying in newspaper reports.

Now the IB is watching several people in J&K, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and other places who were her recruits for various jobs as ISIS agents. How far the penetration of this dangerous Islamist organisation has gone will be known only when this lady is investigated fully. It should be noted that the Hyderabad electronic engineer Salman Mohiuddin, who got lured by Jabeen, was under the impression that she was a Christian and a British national and was ready to marry him.

How from such gullibility the victims are led on the path to either adopt Islam or if already Muslims, to join the ISIS or other Jihadi outfits, needs to be studied for developing adequate immunity socially against such viruses. The success of ISIS, despite its horrifying mass killings and individual beheadings and throat slittings, is also a warning for civilised societies against complacency of any sort.

From this event, it is quite evident that for our own safety we cannot take lightly the reports that several young people here are getting lured by religious ideology, hopes of landing up big deals abroad, marriages with persons of Islamic faith to gain access to the oil riches of the Gulf or other attractions.

Love Jihad could be a plot that could be played by not only teenage Muslim boys displaying high lifestyles to attract gullible girls from other communities, it could also be Muslim girls with concealed identity as non-Muslims but cleverly trapping unsuspecting men into Islamist ideology. This is more so, when we see European nations, especially the UK, Germany and France are finding plots after plots being hatched by Islamists in their territory. The frontrunners in these plots are late converts from the dominant Christian community in Europe who fall for the Islamist ideology. That in the UK one such convert beheaded a British soldier some months back in a public place in broad daylight is a sharp reminder of how far this ideology could go in making beasts out of human beings.

Sex Jihad and Western Disbelief : Yash Arya

http://www.raymondibrahim.com/from-the-arab-world/sex-jihad-and-western-disbelief/

The sex jihad is back in the news.  Last Thursday, September 19, during an address to the National Constituent Assembly, Tunisian Interior Minister Lotfi Bin Jeddo announced that Tunisian girls who had traveled to Syria to perform “sex jihad” had returned after being sexually “swapped between 20, 30, and 100 rebels and they come back bearing the fruit of sexual contacts [from pregnancies to diseases] in the name of sexual jihad and we are silent doing nothing and standing idle.”

[Sixteen-year-old Rahma: Her parents appeared in tears on TV bemoaning how she was “brainwashed” to join the sex jihad.]

Several video interviews with Tunisian females who went to the sex jihad further testify to the veracity of this phenomenon.  For example, 19-year-old Lamia, upon returning, confessed how she was made to have sex with countless men—including Pakistanis, Afghanis, Libyans, Tunisians, Iraqis, Saudis, Somalis, and a Yemeni, all in the context of the “sex jihad,” and that she and many other women were abused, beaten, and forced to do things “that contradict all sense of human worth.”  Now back in Tunisia, Lamia has been to a doctor finding that she is five months pregnant. Both she and her unborn are carrying the aids virus (read her whole story).

Other interviewed women have told of how they were “fooled,” or how their husbands (they being one of four wives) divorced and sent them to Syria for the sex jihad, with assurances that they would be guaranteed paradise in the afterlife.  One 16-year-old explained how her father ordered her to have sex with several jihadi “liberators.”

Due to the severity of this matter, since March, 6,000 Tunisians were banned from travelling to Syria; 86 individuals suspected of forming “cells” to send Tunisian youth to Syria have been arrested.

Back in April, Sheikh Othman Battikh, former Mufti of Tunisia, said before reporters that, “For Jihad in Syria, they are now pushing girls to go there. Thirteen young girls have been sent for sexual jihad. What is this? This is called prostitution. It is moral educational corruption.”

He was dismissed from his position as Mufti of Tunisia days later.

However, as I wrote back in June when reporting on the sex jihad phenomenon:

Muslim women prostituting themselves in this case is being considered a legitimate jihad because such women are making sacrifices—their chastity, their dignity—in order to help apparently sexually-frustrated jihadis better focus on the war to empower Islam in Syria.

And it is prostitution—for they are promised payment, albeit in the afterlife. The Koran declares that “Allah has purchased of the believers their persons [their bodies] and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain (Yusuf Ali trans. 9:111).

At any rate, while news that Muslim girls in hijabs are prostituting themselves in the name of Islam may be instinctively dismissed as a “hoax,” the fact is, Islamic clerics regularly issue fatwas permitting forbidden, if not bizarre, things.

The fundamental criterion is that they help the jihad to empower Islam.

For instance, not only did the original “underwear bomber” Abdullah Hassan al-Asiri hide explosives in his rectum to assassinate Saudi Prince Muhammad bin Nayef—they met in 2009 after the 22-year-old Asiri “feigned repentance for his jihadi views”—but, according to Shi‘ite talk-show host Abdullah Al-Khallaf, he had fellow jihadis sodomize him to “widen” his anus to fit more explosives.

Al-Khallaf read the fatwa that purportedly justified such actions during a 2012 Fadak TV episode.  After praising Allah and declaring that sodomy is forbidden in Islam, the fatwa asserted:

However, jihad comes first, for it is the pinnacle of Islam, and if the pinnacle of Islam can only be achieved through sodomy, then there is no wrong in it. For the overarching rule of [Islamic] jurisprudence asserts that “necessity makes permissible the prohibited.” And if obligatory matters can only be achieved by performing the prohibited, then it becomes obligatory to perform the prohibited, and there is no greater duty than jihad. After he sodomizes you, you must ask Allah for forgiveness and praise him all the more. And know that Allah will reward the jihadis on the Day of Resurrection, according to their intentions—and your intention, Allah willing, is for the victory of Islam, and we ask that Allah accept it of you.

Two important points emerge here: first, jihad is the “pinnacle” of Islam—for it makes Islam supreme; and second, the idea that “necessity makes permissible the prohibited.” Thus, because making Islam supreme through jihad is the greatest priority, anything and everything that is otherwise banned becomes permissible. All that comes to matter is one’s intention, or niyya (see Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi’s discussion along these lines).

Hence the many seeming contradictions in Islam: Muslim women must chastely be covered head-to-toe—yet, in the service of jihad, they are allowed to prostitute their bodies. Sodomy is forbidden—but permissible if rationalized as a way to kill infidels and/or apostates.  Lying is forbidden—but permissible to empower Islam. Suicide is forbidden—but permissible during the jihad—when it is called “martyrdom.”  Intentionally killing women and children is forbidden—but permissible during an Islamic jihad raid, as happened last weekend in both Peshawar and Nairobi.

One may therefore expect anything from would-be jihadis, regardless of how un-Islamic their actions may otherwise seem.

And yet, here in the West, many still refuse to believe the existence of such fatwas,habitually dismissing them as “hoaxes”—despite all the evidence otherwise: from a top Tunisian government official openly bemoaning the effects of the sex jihad on Tunisian girls, to several Arabic-language videos and reports of women discussing their experiences in the sex jihad.

Few things are more demonstrative of the arrogant mindset that proliferates amongst Western “progressives” than this inability to believe.

And it’s quite ironic:  for while supposedly “closed-minded” and “bigoted” conservatives tend to take the words, teachings, and deeds of Muslim clerics and jihadis at face value—and thus respect them as autonomous individuals—liberals, who always claim to “respect other cultures,” often reject as “hoaxes” any news that contradicts their culturally-induced worldviews—since apparently everyone in the world shares in their standards.

If that’s not an ethnocentric position—an especially dangerous one at that—what is?

My Only True Friend By Vatsala Radhakeesoon

My Only True Friend

Hectic, hectic is mundane life;
Human beings can barely enjoy time.

To No Human Heart I’m now attached,
Fragile expectations have long ago been smashed.

‘OM,OM,OM*’ in my mind his name rhymes,
Senses, Soul connect to the Omniscient Divine;
My anger,fears, torments he deeply understands,
His justice, love ,strength aren’t like slippery grains of sand.

I feel for me he’s always there,
Whatever he does he’s always fair,
He’s my only True Friend -The Divine
whom in my life flawlessly, constantly shines.

An Islamic Caliphate in Seven Easy Steps By Yash Arya

An Islamic Caliphate in Seven Easy Steps

In the introduction, the Jordanian journalist writes, “I interviewed a whole range of al-Qaida members with different ideologies to get an idea of how the war between the terrorists and Washington would develop in the future.” What he then describes between pages 202 and 213 is a scenario, proof both of the terrorists’ blindness as well as their brutal single-mindedness. In seven phases the terror network hopes to establish an Islamic caliphate which the West will then be too weak to fight.

    • The First Phase Known as “the awakening” — this has already been carried out and was supposed to have lasted from 2000 to 2003, or more precisely from the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 in New York and Washington to the fall of Baghdad in 2003. The aim of the attacks of 9/11 was to provoke the US into declaring war on the Islamic world and thereby “awakening” Muslims. “The first phase was judged by the strategists and masterminds behind al-Qaida as very successful,” writes Hussein. “The battle field was opened up and the Americans and their allies became a closer and easier target.” The terrorist network is also reported as being satisfied that its message can now be heard “everywhere.”
    • The Second Phase “Opening Eyes” is, according to Hussein’s definition, the period we are now in and should last until 2006. Hussein says the terrorists hope to make the western conspiracy aware of the “Islamic community.” Hussein believes this is a phase in which al-Qaida wants an organization to develop into a movement. The network is banking on recruiting young men during this period. Iraq should become the center for all global operations, with an “army” set up there and bases established in other Arabic states.
    • The Third Phase This is described as “Arising and Standing Up” and should last from 2007 to 2010. “There will be a focus on Syria,” prophesies Hussein, based on what his sources told him. The fighting cadres are supposedly already prepared and some are in Iraq. Attacks on Turkey and — even more explosive — in Israel are predicted. Al-Qaida’s masterminds hope that attacks on Israel will help the terrorist group become a recognized organization. The author also believes that countries neighboring Iraq, such as Jordan, are also in danger.
    • The Fourth Phase Between 2010 and 2013, Hussein writes that al-Qaida will aim to bring about the collapse of the hated Arabic governments. The estimate is that “the creeping loss of the regimes’ power will lead to a steady growth in strength within al-Qaida.” At the same time attacks will be carried out against oil suppliers and the US economy will be targeted using cyber terrorism.
    • The Fifth Phase This will be the point at which an Islamic state, or caliphate, can be declared. The plan is that by this time, between 2013 and 2016, Western influence in the Islamic world will be so reduced and Israel weakened so much, that resistance will not be feared. Al-Qaida hopes that by then the Islamic state will be able to bring about a new world order.
    • The Sixth Phase Hussein believes that from 2016 onwards there will a period of “total confrontation.” As soon as the caliphate has been declared the “Islamic army” it will instigate the “fight between the believers and the non-believers” which has so often been predicted by Osama bin Laden.
  • The Seventh Phase This final stage is described as “definitive victory.” Hussein writes that in the terrorists’ eyes, because the rest of the world will be so beaten down by the “one-and-a-half billion Muslims,” the caliphate will undoubtedly succeed. This phase should be completed by 2020, although the war shouldn’t last longer than two years.
