Udupi: Celebrated Kannada poet and writer, Prof. K. S. Nisar Ahmed was honoured with the prestigious Rashtrakavi Govinda Pai Memorial Award at a function organised by the Rashtrakavi Govinda Pai Research Centre and other organizations here. The award carries a citation and a cheque of Rs. 1 lakh.

Urban Development Minister Vinay Kumar Sorake, who spoke after presenting the annual award, said that Prof. Ahmed’s contribution to Kannada literature was invaluable.

Mr. Sorake said that it was fitting that the poet should get the Govinda Pai award. “Prof. Ahmed is a jewel of Kannada literature whom we all like and treasure,” he said.

In his acceptance speech, Prof. Ahmed said that poets such as the late D.V. Gundappa and the late Govinda Pai had a big influence on him. In addition to being a poet, Govinda Pai was a scholar who did a lot of research, he said.

Earlier, B.A. Viveka Rai, former Vice-Chancellor of Kannada University, Hampi, said that writers such as the late D.R. Bendre and the late Kuvempu liked Prof. Ahmed a lot. It was when Prof. Ahmed became the president of the Kannada Sahitya Academy that literary programmes were held for the first time at the hobli-level, he added.

Kota Srinivas Poojary, MLC; Kusuma Kamath, principal of MGM College, and H.P.R. Hande, Assistant General Manager of Karnataka Bank, were present at the event.

Modi’s silence on hate campaign against minorities disturbing: Jamaat-e-Islami Hind

New Delhi: One of Narendra Modi’s harshest criticism against former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, during his election campaign was the latter’s silence on issues concerning the country and its people. However, since taking reigns, Mr. Modi seems to have been afflicted by the very element he and his party had accused the previous regime with.

Addressing the press meet at their headquarters in New Delhi, the country’s largest Muslim socio-religious organization, Jamaat-e-Islami Hind (JIH) expressed their concern at Mr. Modi and his government’s silence, at the vicious hate campaigns of right wing outfits and some of his party members’s targeting against minority Muslim and Christian community in the country.

“Jamaat is seriously concerned at the rise in hate campaign against minorities, particularly Muslims, since BJP came to power at the centre. There has since been a spate of communal incidents also (Saharanpur, Meerut, Muzaffarnagar, Kanpur etc.). At regular interval, leaders of BJP and Sangh Parivar have raked up contentious issues like Article 370 and Uniform Civil Code. RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, in violation of the ethos of the constitution, said that India is a Hindu Rashtra and all citizens of this country are Hindus,” said the gathered Jamaat leaders.

Mr. Nusrat Ali, Secretary General of JIH, criticized Mr. Modi for maintaining silence on hate campaigns in the name of concocted theories like ‘Love Jihad’ and forced conversions.

“A period of 100 days is very short to judge a government elected by people for five years. However, the initial trends are not good. It seems the government is working on two fronts – while PM Modi is talking about development, some leaders of his party and Sangh Parivar have opened aggressive hate campaign against Muslims and Modi is silent. It seems there is a silent understanding among them,” said Mr. Ali.

While appreciating Mr. Modi for some of the good measures initiated during his first 100 days as PM, the Jamaat leaders said that, “PM Modi’s austerity moves like asking ministers not to buy new cars and curtail foreign tours and his announcement for toilets at every home and school, and bank account for every citizen are indeed good. In an apparent move to provide a clean and corruption free government, he asked ministers not to hire relative as personal secretaries. His visit to Japan was also successful in terms of attracting investment.”

However, the party also ccriticized the manner in which the BJP government and PM Modi used Teachers’ Day to impose his personality on the young minds of the country. “We are against the government for having made it compulsory for schools and children to listen to PM’s speech as we think such tendency does not match with democratic values of the constitution,” said Mr. Ali.

On the question of Al-Qaeda announcing its branch in India, the party leaders expressed apprehensions that this may be used by country’s intelligence agencies to witch hunt minority youths as has been the trend for past 10 years.

“Anwar Manippady is a cheater”: Wakf Board Chairman

September 7, 2014 by Nasheman

Bangalore: Following the report published today by Nasheman, about the victory celebration organised by BJP leader Mr. Anwar Manippaddy and Muslim Ulemas associated with Bazm-e-Qasmi, and their allegations leveled against minority Muslim politicians and Wakq board, charging them with encroaching Wakf lands, Dr. Mohammed Yousuff, Chairman of Karnataka State Board of Auqaf, lashed out at the former Chairman of the Karnataka State Minorities Commission, calling him a cheater.

Mr. Yousuff speaking exclusively to Nasheman, said that, Mr. Mannipaddy has “has forgotten that it is the duty of the Waqf Board to recover such properties in accordance with law as provided under the Waqf Act.  According to the existing Waqf laws, it is the Waqf Board which is Competent Authority to remove the encroachments.”

Calling Mr. Mannipaddy a “self styled minority leader,” Mr. Yousuff accused him of taking law into his own hands and said that Mr. Manipaddy wants to disturb the peace and tranquility in the state.

“The main intention of the above said self styled BJP leader is to create panic in the public by issuing application forms by misleading the public and has gone to the extent of proposing the construction of 2000 houses in Gorubhaidoddi Waqf land for distribution among the Muslim minority people and 25% to other community people where there is no such provisions under the Waqf Act, thereby misleading the other communities also which amounts to cheating the public.”

“The act of Mr. Anwar Mannipady clearly violates the provisions of law and he is liable for punishment. He cannot run a parallel Waqf Board and discharge the duties of the Waqf Board which is constituted and functioning as per the Waqf Act passed by the Parliament. I have got my own doubt that all these illegal and unlawful activities of Mr. Anwar Mannipady has not been brought to the notice of former Chief Minister B.S. Yedurappa, State BJP leader Pralhad Joshi and Union Ministers who would definitely not support his illegal acts and I also doubt that, these persons would participate in the alleged function as per his press statement appeared in the print media,” Mr. Yousuff added.

Mr. Mannipady for his part has maintained his stance by accusing the officials of the Wakf board to be in hands in glove with state minority Muslim politicians in embezzling hundreds of crores of rupees by encroaching Wakf lands.

Inside jobs and Israeli stooges: Why is the Muslim World in thrall to conspiracy cheories?

Did you know that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of Isis, was trained by Mossad and the CIA? Were you aware that his real name isn’t Ibrahim Awwad Ibrahim Ali al-Badri al-Samarrai but Simon Elliot? Or that he’s a Jewish actor who was recruited by the Israelis to play the part of the world’s most wanted terrorist?

If the messages in my email in-box and my Twitter timeline and on my Facebook page are anything to go by, plenty of Muslims are not only willing to believe this nonsensical drivel but are super-keen to share it with their friends. The bizarre claim that NSA documents released by Edward Snowden “prove” the US and Israel are behind al-Baghdadi’s actions has gone viral.

There’s only one problem. “It’s utter BS,” Glenn Greenwald, the investigative journalist who helped break the NSA story, told me. “Snowden never said anything like that and no [NSA] documents suggest it.” Snowden’s lawyer, Ben Wizner, has called the story a hoax.

But millions of Muslims across the globe have a soft spot for such hoaxes. Conspiracy theories are rife in both Muslim-majority countries and Muslim communities here in the west. The events of 9/11 and the subsequent “war on terror” unleashed a vast array of hoaxers, hucksters and fantasists from Birmingham to Beirut.

On a visit to Iraq in 2002, I met a senior Islamic cleric who told me that Jews, not Arabs, had been responsible for the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. He loudly repeated the Middle East’s most popular and pernicious 9/11 conspiracy theory: that 4,000 Jews didn’t turn up for work on 11 September 2001 because they had been forewarned about the attacks.

There is, of course, no evidence for this outlandish and offensive claim. The truth is that more than 200 Jews, including several Israeli citizens, were killed in the attacks on the twin towers. I guess they must have missed the memo from Mossad.

Yet the denialism persists. A Pew poll in 2011, a decade after 9/11, found that a majority of respondents in countries such as Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon refused to believe that the attacks were carried out by Arab members of al-Qaeda. “There is no Muslim public in which even 30 per cent accept that Arabs conducted the attacks,” the Pew researchers noted.

This blindness isn’t peculiar to the Arab world or the Middle East. Consider Pakistan, home to many of the world’s weirdest and wackiest conspiracy theories. Some Pakistanis say the schoolgirl Malala Yousafzai is a CIA agent. Others think that the heavy floods of 2010, which killed 2,000 Pakistanis, were caused by secret US military technology. And two out of three don’t believe Osama Bin Laden was killed by US navy Seals on Pakistani soil on 2 May 2011.

Consider also Nigeria, where there was a polio outbreak in 2003 after local people boycotted the vaccine, claiming it was a western plot to infect Muslims with HIV. Then there is Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim-majority country, where leading politicians and journalists blamed the 2002 Bali bombings on US agents.

Why are so many of my fellow Muslims so gullible and so quick to believe bonkers conspiracy theories? How have the pedlars of paranoia amassed such influence within Muslim communities?

First, we should be fair: it’s worth noting that Muslim-majority nations have been on the receiving end of various actual conspiracies. France and Britain did secretly conspire to carve up the Middle East between them with the Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1916. They also conspired to attack Egypt, with Israel’s help, and thereby provoked the Suez crisis of 1956. Oh, and it turned out there weren’t any WMDs in Iraq in 2003 despite what the dossiers claimed.

I once asked the Pakistani politician Imran Khan why his fellow citizens were so keen on conspiracy theories. “They’re lied to all the time by their leaders,” he replied. “If a society is used to listening to lies all the time.. everything becomes a conspiracy.”

The “We’ve been lied to” argument goes only so far. Scepticism may be evidence of a healthy and independent mindset; but conspiracism is a virus that feeds off insecurity and bitterness. As the former Pakistani diplomat Husain Haqqani has admitted, “the contemporary Muslim fascination for conspiracy theories” is a convenient way of “explaining the powerlessness of a community that was at one time the world’s economic, scientific, political and military leader”.

Nor is this about ignorance or illiteracy. Those who promulgate a paranoid, conspiratorial world-view within Muslim communities include the highly educated and highly qualified, the rulers as well as the ruled. A recent conspiracy theory blaming the rise of Islamic State on the US government, based on fabricated quotes from Hillary Clinton’s new memoir, was publicly endorsed by Lebanon’s foreign minister and Egypt’s culture minister.

Where will it end? When will credulous Muslims stop leaning on the conspiracy crutch? We blame sinister outside powers for all our problems – extremism, despotism, corruption and the rest – and paint ourselves as helpless victims rather than indepen­dent agents. After all, why take responsibility for our actions when it’s far easier to point the finger at the CIA/Mossad/the Jews/the Hindus/fill-in-your-villain-of-choice?

As the Egyptian intellectual Abd al-Munim Said once observed, “The biggest problem with conspiracy theories is that they keep us not only from the truth, but also from confronting our faults and problems.” They also make us look like loons. Can we give it a rest, please?

Free undertrials who have served half their maximum term, orders Supreme Court

September 6, 2014 by Nasheman

Supreme Court India

New Delhi: In a landmark judgement, which would come as a sigh of relief to many undertrials who are languishing in prisons for years with only a bleak hope of justice, the country’s apex court ordered the release of all undertrials who have served half their maximum term yesterday.

The bench headed by Chief Justice R.M. Lodha said that district judges will visit jails once in a week for two months in their respective districts and identify such undertrials from October 1.

India’s criminal procedure code already states that once the undertrial has served more than half of his maximum sentence, the detainee must be released by the court on his personal bond with or without sureties, however, the law is rarely implemented.

“Having given consideration to legislative policy in Section 436 A of the CrPC and that a large number of undertrial prisoners are languishing in jails, we are of the view that an order is required to be passed by us so that undertrial prisoners do not continue to be detained in prisons beyond the maximum period as provided under Section 436 A of the CrPC,” the bench, also comprising justices Kurian Joseph and R. F. Nariman, said.

“We want some edifice to be built on the foundation that has to be laid,” the bench added. Though this would not apply in cases where death sentence was provided as maximum sentence.

Speaking to Nasheman, prisoners rights activist and founder of Bangalore based organisation, Janasadbhawana, Mr.Faiz Akram Pasha, said that, “this is a great day for justice in the country, as there are thousands of prisoners slugging their life away for petty crimes in our prisons.”

Ordering the next date of hearing of the case Dec 8, the court said that on the completion of the two-month exercise, the registrar generals of the high courts will send the report on the exercise and undertrial prisoners released to the secretary general of the Supreme Court.

No Al-Qaeda threat to Karnataka, says CM Siddaramaiah

September 6, 2014 by Nasheman

CM Siddaramaiah

Bangalore: Days after Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri announced the formation of an Indian branch of his global armed group that he said would spread Islamic rule and “raise the flag of jihad” across the subcontinent, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah play downed the issue and said that there was no threat to the state from the outfit.

However, he said the state is on high security alert, following the centre’s direction on the matter.

Al Qaeda, which many counter-insurgency experts claim have kept a low profile, since the assassination of its founder Usama bin Laden in 2011 in Pakistan, have been eclipsed mainly from its offshoot organisations, which have emerged in recent years since the uprisings in the Arab/Muslim world.

In a video posted online on social forums, the present Qaeda leader, said the new force would “crush the artificial borders” dividing Muslim populations in the region.

“This entity was not established today but is the fruit of a blessed effort of more than two years to gather the mujahedeen in the Indian sub-continent into a single entity,” he said.

Meanwhile, Home Minister K.J. George claimed that the law and order situation in Karnataka was best in the country.

Additional Director-General of Police, Law and Order, Kishore Chandra told the media that the police are always on alert and there was no need for any special security arrangements, however, according to sources close to Nasheman, the police are keeping a close watch on individuals and organisations in their radar.

The alleged Saudi plan to move the Prophet’s tomb, truth or hype?

September 5, 2014 by Nasheman

Masjid-an-Nabwi

Early this week, The Independent, one of UK’s leading national newspaper, published an article citing a supposedly “leading Saudi academic”, who it says has exposed a proposed document by another Saudi academic, who has allegedly called for the removal of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWS)’s “remains to the nearby al-Baqi cemetery, where they would be interred anonymously.”

The 61 -page document by Dr. Ali bin Abdulaziz al-Shabal of the Imam Muhammad ibn Saud Islamic University in Riyadh, is said to have been circulated to the Committee of the Presidency of the Two Mosques, which the paper claims has outlines for destroying chambers around the Prophet (SAWS)’s tomb.

The words in the article reads more like that of a soothsayer than of a reporter, for since its publication, the news has caused an uproar across the Muslim world, with many condemning the supposed proposal.

In Indonesia, Hasyim Muzadi, a former chairman of the country’s largest Islamic organization, Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) has condemned and strongly opposed the alleged relocation idea and said that, “Saudi will be doomed if it goes ahead with the plan.”

Dr. Abdul Ruff writing in India’s MuslimMirror states that, “It is apparent that mischievous devils are slowing taking control of Islamic Holy sites in Saudi Arabia, even as Saudi regime moves faster than even to promote anti-Islamic forces settle down in Western and Israeli terrocracies.”

The writer, whose language is very evidently polarized against the regime in Saudi Arabia goes on to state, without citing any evidence that, “Even the very thought to destroying the tomb of the Holy Prophet Mohammad (SAWS) would not have crossed the minds of ordinary, sincere Muslims. This is state mischief, perhaps took birth either in Washington or London and conveyed ot the king himself who seems to have found the “scholars” to express it openly.”

What is apparent in the above statements, and in the anger which has stirred among many Muslims following this supposed news, is that it is based entirely on an article, which was written by sidelining all journalistic principles, primarily among which is to cite evidence for what is being claimed.

According to Hasib Noor, a student of Islamic Law at the University of al-Madinah al-Munawwarah, Dr. Irfan Al-Alawi, the source of the Independent article, who the paper cites as a “leading Saudi academic”, is in fact based out of Washington D.C.

In his response to the alleged destruction plans, he writes that, “The source mentioned in the article, Dr. Irfan Al-Alawi,  of the Islamic Heritage Research Foundation, represents a polarizing organization called the Center of Islamic Pluralism based out of Washington D.C. The background, connection, and history of the organization and Dr. Irfan Al-Alawi is deserving of an entire separate article.

The timing of this article is something that came to light as research is done by close friends that showed that the Independent regularly posts articles every year that seemingly recycled the same story regarding the destruction of masjid Nabwi, Mecca and/or the Prophet’s ṣallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) tomb. These articles date as far back as least to 2011. Dr. Alawi is consistently used as a source annually on this topic in 2011, 2012, 2013 and now with the most recent one in 2014. One can recognize a clear trend or what some might call agenda.”

About the document and Dr. al-Shabal, he says that, “The article discusses a 61-page document by a “leading Islamic academic Dr Ali ibn AbdulAziz al-Shabal.” The reality is he is not a leading academic, unheard of by the Center of Historical Studies, and someone unknown until the Independent coins him as a “leading Islamic academic” figure.

The document he wrote is a paper that post-doctoral candidates in Saudi Arabian universities write in order to reach the level of adjunct professor. Al-Shabal teaches at imam University. He submitted this paper to the Committee of the Presidency of the Two Masjids in order to establish credibility and at the end of his paper he makes suggestions. He did not submit a proposal to the government; that was never intended—let alone accepted. It is an entry submitted to an academic journal that was taken completely out of context in the Independent article—no, not out of context, seemingly used for an intended purpose.”

Yasir Qadhi, an American Muslim scholar and writer said that, “the paper (by al-Shabal) itself does not actually state that the blessed grave should be touched. No sane Muslim would ever suggest that. Rather, what it suggests is that the masjid itself should be replanned in the new construction so that the blessed grave would be outside of the new masjid boundaries. So, what the author suggested was to change the boundary of the masjid, not that of the grave.”

He added that, “this view is a minority view and has been soundly rejected by mainstream Salafi (referred derisively as Wahabbis by many) and all non-Salafi scholars. Historically, there has never been any serious opposition to the Umayyad inclusion of the blessed grave into the Prophet (SAWS)’s masjid (which occurred in 88 AH), and no major scholar of any madhhab has ever called for the Prophet’s (SAWS) masjid boundaries to be redrawn.”

Commenting on the reaction from the Muslims, Hasib further notes that, “Many are in deep hate mode and have lunged full on attacks… without checking the facts.

When the facts are pointed out to many that the article contains false information, most seem to not care, “the reality is we can’t forget that Saudi did…” or “but in Saudi…” type rhetoric is spreading. Even academics that lay claim to scholastic standard, even journalists, even educators… many are falling prey to the exact intention of the article —the sowing of discord.

For many equating Saudi to not just a government but to an ideology that pigeonhole others is becoming comfortable, again. The “they” and “us” is something that spread through the discussions on social media, no matter which “spectrum” the person belonged to. The standing and representing movements rather than Islam again reared its ugly head.

Many are letting their feelings dictate their rationale—it doesn’t matter if the assertions in the article are false, there is injustice that needs to be spoken against, and criticism that needs to be made.”

The whole episode only goes on to show, how mainstream media breeds on sensationalism, and how easily many Muslims go on to demonize each other, even though only a few weeks ago, many had called for a boycott of many media outlets claiming it to be bankrolled by the Zionists.
