Looking at yesterday's newspapers, you (assuming that you are an
Indian Muslim) must have realized that you are a Jehadi, according to
the Prime Minister Mr. Atal Bihari Vajpai. Look at some of his
comments in yesterday's BJP meet at Goa:
"Wherever there are Muslims, they do not want to live with others
(who practise different faiths). Instead of living peacefully, they
want to preach and propagate their religion by creating fear and
terror in the minds of others.''
"No one should challenge us about India's secularism and no one
should teach us about tolerance...We were secular even in the early
days when Muslims and Christians were not here. We have allowed them
to do their prayers and follow their religion. No one should teach us
about secularism."
Earlier, in the RSS meet in Bangalore, they have already told the
muslims to beg the hindus for their favour and goodwill etc. for
survival. The point is that all these comments and speaches are
giving a very wrong message to the people at large, and since not
very many muslims are speaking up against them, things are getting
worse. How long can we sit and tolerate being dubbed the Jihadis
whereas most Indian muslims wish to live in this country peacefully.
Shouldn't we stand up and talk to the prime minister and the BJP
govt. directly and ask for explaination.
We request all of you to please come for a rally of Indian Muslims
who want peace, that we are planning in the near future in Delhi - to
take a memorandum of protest against what his govt. is doing. Please
keep in touch for a final date for this rally. And kindly visit this
website for more details. Also send us contact details and emails of
Indian muslims who want a peaceful livelihood in India. The site is:
