Mumbai Jihad Madness
by Jerry Gordon (Dec. 2008)
Information just released indicates that the Muslim terrorists rented rooms at the Chabad Nariman House, posing as Malaysian students. That may also entail smuggling in weapons, explosives, grenades for prepositioning. No doubt the same technique was used to infiltrate the hotels. Thus, they could reconnoiter the best entrances and exits. Recall how long and difficult it was for the Indian commandos to find the terrorists? Many of the police first responders and the commandos were killed in an ambush with interlocking fields of fire.
Winston asked disturbingly: ”How many targets are now being prepared in America, England and Israel?”
What the Times report doesn’t comment on was that the Jihadi hit team tortured The Times article does give evidence of the savage extremist Jihadi ideology in this telephonic exchange between a Chabad official in Washington, DC and rants with an Indian TV station:
Without identifying a cause or spelling out demands, the gunman promised to free his captives if he got what he wanted. He identified himself as Imran Babar, age 25, and said all the hostages were OK.
Shemtov promised to put Babar in touch with Indian authorities. But efforts to patch an Indian police official into a subsequent call failed.
Israeli officials said there was never any negotiation with the two gunmen.
“I asked if we could hear the voice of the rabbi, or someone who was alive there,” Shemtov said. “We only heard the voice of one woman screaming in English, ‘Please help immediately!’ “
That was the last reported sign of life from any of the hostages.
When Shemtov insisted again on speaking to Rabbi Holtzberg, he said Babar replied: “You’ve already asked for too much.”
The gunman hung up and called an Indian television station. He ranted against Israel’s security cooperation with India and an Israeli army general’s September visit to the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir, the territory fought over by India and Pakistan.
“This is a matter between us and the Hindu [Indian] government,” Babar said. “Why does Israel come in here?”
“We are tired of facing tortures and injustices. We are forced to do this.”
Why was such savagery wreaked on innocent Jews: Israelis, Americans and Mexicans?
Muslim Sepoy rebellion in 1857.
Under Akbar and Jahangir “five or six hundred thousand human beings were killed,” says Emperor Jahangir. The figures given by these killers and their chroniclers may be a few thousand less or a few thousand more, but what bred this ambition of cutting down human beings without compunction was the Muslim theory, practice and spirit of Jihad, as spelled out in Muslim scriptures and rules of administration. Under Aurangzeb every chronicler avers that wars against infidels were fought in the spirit of Jihad. In short, Jihad was never given up in India from the time of Muhammad bin Qasim to that of Aurangzeb and beyond, so long as Muslim rule lasted.
J.M.S. Baljon:
I was astounded when he [Hitler] told me that he knew about my Tazkirah. The news flabbergasted me. . . I found him very congenial and piercing. He discussed Islamic Jihad with me in details. In 1930 I sent him my Isharat concerning the Khaksar movement with a picture of a spade-bearer Khaksar at the end of that book. In 1933 he started his Spade Movement.
