Certain Hindutva forces like Sangh Parivar, BJP, RSS, Sree Ram Sena, HAV, VHP etc and some community leaders have been spreading a fake , flawed and false propaganda in the name of Love against Islam and Muslims in the south Indian states particularly in Karnataka and Kerala. The grand father leaders of their organisation first coined the illogical and strange name 'Love Jihad' after a shocking incident in Karnataka. But after the truth behind the incident came out in light they kept mum there in Karnataka. The incident actually peeled off their skin and showed to us what they really are and what their real motives are!
Let us first look into certain facts and incidents (which those forces always hide from us and don't want to know!).
The shocking incident in the heart of those Hindutva forces happened in 21st october 2009. The police arrested a serial killer Mr.Mohan Kumar, the psychopath who actually lured and killed many of those who alleged to be disappeared in the fake and fictious 'Love Jihad'. The prominent kannada daily 'Vaartha Bhaarathi' for the first time had reported in the front page the above said real incident. Also the daily 'Vijaya Karnataka' which was in forefront of this false and outrageous campaign called 'Love Jihad' is forced to publish the truth finally and agreed and published 'Love Jihad' is false and fictious. After truth throwing some light into the incidents the vampires hide into darkness there!
These certain sects of Hindutva forces have some (well known!) hidden political and religious agenda. They want to destroy the integrity and unity of the people of India by spreading the false propaganda. They know the benefits of 'Divide and Rule' policy. The investigative agencies of the central and state governments have made it clear that the phenomenon of ‘love jihad’ was a fake creation.
In another incident, Union Minister for Expatriate Affairs Vayalar Ravi said that the ‘love jihad’ was being made a tool of the Hindutva communal propaganda to destroy the peaceful atmosphere prevailing in the Kerala society. This is not a political problem, but rather a shadow war. There is no evidence for the propaganda like girls were being taken to terrorist organisations and all, he said at the Alappuzha Press Club.
Mr Ravi said that such propaganda will only be helpful to create fear and tensions in the society. What is there to exaggerate in this? It is indeed unfortunate to divide the society into two fractions. The communal harmony and love, peculiar for Kerala, should not be lost in this propaganda. Love is a divine feeling of man. We have the history of kings who gave away their power and crown for love. So, he asked, why there was such a hue and cry over marrying for love.
In another incident, followed by some isolated incidents, the Kerala state DGP had enquired into the matter of ‘love jihad’ as per the Kerala High Court order and submitted report stating that there was no such organisation functioning in the state. Nor was there evidence for such movement anywhere in the country.
They claimed before that they have some records of over thousands of such cases with them! But when we ask about its whereabouts they keep silent! When we ask them to give some proof they would change the topic! Let them give us from those thousands of claims atleast ten such incidents of religious conversion and later those girls were exploited for crimes. Can they ever give that to us?
But why they are now trying to spit their dark venom into a divine feeling of Love and in the name of a religion? They have political as well as religious motives. They want to destroy the peace of our secular state. They want to inject into the heart of millions the religious hatred. They want to destroy the relgious harmony of our country. They want to isolate the people of one religion from others. They want to divide and rule.
As a major part of this current fake accusation target Islam - Religion of Peace - and one divine word 'Jihad', and their motive for certain extend was to defame the name of Islam, let me finish this post with some verses and its explanation from Holy Quran and let you decide what is Islam's stand on this issue. And always dare to ask for proof when they come up with accusation against a particular sects of the poeple. ( BJP, RSS, BajranghDal, SanghParivar, Sree RamSena followers can skip the following portions, because they are the same people who don’t want to understand anything! )
The content given below regarding Quranic verses and it's explanations have been taken from authentic online resources.
There is a fundamental rule stated in the Quran namely the right to choose one's religion: "let there be no compulsion in religion," (2/256). Accordingly Islam emphasized that a person's belief in Islam or his rejecting to believe in it is a matter that depends upon man's free will and his sincere conviction. This is stated in the following Quranic verse: "Let him who will, believe, and let him who will, reject (it) ". (18/129)
The Western World has misinterpreted Muslim fighting against aggression as being a Holy War. The truth is that Islam does not acknowledge the term " Holy War". Islam regards wars as either unjust or just. The word Jihadis derived form the world juhd which means exerting one's utmost efforts and is divided into tow forms of efforts, the first of which is the effort made by one's soul and the second is the effort in fighting a just and righteous war. The first strenuous effort that is made is titled the Greater Jihad by which one endeavours to repel all evil, temptation and to purify one's soul from vices especially the vices of jealousy, envy, and hatred, thereby deserving to be brought into the Grace of God. The other form of Jihad is known as the Lesser Jihad and it means fighting a just and righteous war.
A righteous just war according to the laws of Islam is a war of defence, the aim of which is to repel the enemy attack or assault, and the following Quranic verses permit Muslims to fight the enemy who attacks them::" To those against whom war is made, permission is given (to fight), because they are wronged." (22/39) Also: "Fight in the cause of God those who fight you, but do not transgress limits, for God does not love transgressors." (2/190)
If the Muslims learn that their enemy desires peace and is willing to cease all forms of aggression, Islam commands the Muslims to agree to their enemy's request. This is stated in the following Quranic verse::" But if the enemy incline towards peace, you (also) incline towards peace and trust in God." (8/61)
Furthermore Islam calls for peaceful coexistence with others and establishing good will with them providing that they do not attack the Muslims. The Quranic verses urge the Muslims to treat people fairly, justly and benevolently: "God forbids you not with regards to those who do not fight your Faith, nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and with them: for God loves those who are just." (60/8) Thus the aim of Islam is to spread and establish peace and tolerance between people and to urge them to cooperate with each other for the welfare of mankind.
Therefore, the allegations you find in some international mass media that Islam is a religion which preaches aggression, extremism, fanaticism and terrorism, are completely unjustified accusations, which have absolutely no fundament in Islam. Islam is on the contrary a religion of mercy and justice.
We must boycott those mass medias which are spreading the wrong news without any solid base and proofs. And the people behind those fake accusations!
Remember something about this fake propaganda
1. It was directly against a religion and it's people without any solid proofs
2. It was directly targeted for the purpose of Divide & Rule
3. It was directly to convey a wrong message against the true teachings of Islam
4. It indirectly insulted the girls of Hindu community
5. It indirectly wanted to stop the interaction of people
6. It indirectly conveyed a fake message that Hindus are at threat from Muslims & are enemies
7. It indirectly wanted to initiate a spark of another religious hatred & destroy the religious harmony of our state

Note : The people who now come up with fake propaganda are the same people who always complaint about electronic voting machines after their candidate fails! They are the people who thinks that only those voting machines are accurate which give their candidate a victory! Alas!
Shinu, Well done!! This is very important-Identifying the Hidden Agenda behind these fabricated lies..
ReplyDeleteBefore the Gujarat Genocide, there were similar fake stories spreaded by main newspapapers regarding attocities against Hindu women. One newspaper Published a Front page 'Story' that 6 Hindu women were raped and killed by muslim hooligans. After the riot started, the same newspaper published a correction that "it was a mistake"- a one column news in some innerpage!!!
@ Avaneeth ->
ReplyDeleteThank you...Facts must be spread...
Yes, a fake story like which you have now mentioned must have definitely inspired youth to commit crimes... a hidden agenda was behind that... a dirty agenda is also behind this fake propaganda as well...but a very serious and alarming one...
when editors want to say sorry or want to repent it won't get much publicity as before...and with in that period it must have began its spreading and heinous working...
lucky now that the state is now kerala and one accusation in karnataka was actually brought into light. .
And the topic is very important when we think a little bit deep about the motives and the propaganda...
Most of the common men now believe that whatever shown on printing and mass medias are true! They don't even think about in a rational way.
The religious harmony of kerala is actually commendable.(Remember nothing worst happened here as a communal riot even during the Babri Masjid Demolition period.) These forces now want to destroy that. We must stop it in ways whatever we can.Religious harmony of the people of kerala is its strength in some ways itself. .
