THE TSUNĀMI OF ISLAMIC APOSTASY





THE TSUNĀMI OF ISLAMIC APOSTASY


Apostasy in Islam is now quite a movement across the world. There are vast millions who are joining its ranks and millions more who have quit the faith but are keeping their counsel for fear of persecution as apostasy in Islam is punishable by death in a Sharia-ruled state and in general as well the Ummah deems it right to ostracise and persecute apostates by all possible means. But the movement is gathering momentum each passing day. 


In Iran the recent nationwide anti-Hijab protest almost became a revolution but was thwarted through brutal repression. Masah Amini's death still sounds in the desert-silence, sending a thrill through the nerves of revolutionary youths and a chill through the hearts of the ultra-conservative ruling dispensation. 


In North America 24% of the Muslim youth have confirmed rejection of their faith and the numbers are swelling. 


In Saudi Arabia the Crown Prince is being politically expedient in making concessions to the people in lifting repressive religiosocial bans on certain activities and allowing the people greater liberty in the public space. 


Western liberalism is influencing conservative Islamic societies through the internet and it seems this is an irreversible trend that will eventually loosen the stranglehold of Islam on its adherents. 


The ex-Muslims are playing a seminal role in this humanising process, in this rationalising of the social discourse of Muslims worldwide. 


Ironically, western political self-seeking is as yet a hindrance in this liberalising process as the Anglo-Americans continue to mischievously interfere in the governance of Muslim-majority countries as they have historically done, and in so doing often continue to thwart the chances of democracy and peace in these radically religious countries. American Arms Industry continues to thrive by selling ammunition for which the world has to be kept in a state of perpetual warfare. The Middle East is no exception to this influence and suffers a stifling fate, courtesy the bullying big brother from across the Atlantic. 


Through all this and much more---for there is so much that has been left unsaid---the apostates are swelling in number and continuing to undermine the hegemony of Islam over its submitted, nay, suppressed, subjects. Glory unto these young revolutionaries who to my mind are truly spiritual for they have cast fear to the winds to come out into the open and declare, "We are ex-Muslims!"

MESSAGES GALORE ... 76


MESSAGES GALORE ... 76


1. Islamic apologists should demand democracy elsewhere only after they have made the entire Islamic world democratic.


2. Islam and Christianity having been overwhelmingly spread through the sword prove the hollowness of their theological principles.


3. ফুলের ফল হল সৌরভ |


4. It is strange that subcontinental Muslims who were mostly converted to Islam by force should so forget their Hindu roots.


5. 712 CE was the worst year in Indian history. That year India's fate was sealed. Or is it the other way round that is yet to unfold?


6. Wishful thinking cannot restore our civilisational purity. We have to work for it. Much toil and thought needed to clear the virus.

FREEDOM


FREEDOM


To be free is the goal of all life, from the atom to the cosmos. Life is this grand impulse towards liberation. But we are hopelessly bound to man and Nature and to God of our own imagination. Life's singular drive, though  remains this pursuit of freedom. All conflict, all resolution, all war and all peace are so many attempts to seek this freedom and so many failures to do so. A few succeed, have succeeded, and we venerate them as gods. But the quest to free oneself never stops. With every pulsation of life it goes on, with every breath is chanted the mantra, 'Freedom'. No wonder Swamiji said, "Freedom, freedom---this is the song of the Soul."

JUDGE NOT SWAMIJI WHO STANDS IN JUDGEMENT OVER HUMANITY


JUDGE NOT SWAMIJI WHO STANDS IN JUDGEMENT OVER HUMANITY


Do not judge Swamiji by his 'Complete Works' or by his chronicled life. He was far greater than that. Not even a semblance of his real self has been captured in these recordings nor has any since he represented him well. He shines a solitary star in a realm unreachable where only Sri Ramakrishna had access to. His personality and consciousness were too lofty, his conception of reality, absolute and relative, unfathomably deep, and his ideas so subtle that they defied expression. His gaze into the future of humanity, to its evolutionary depths, so penetrative that, leave alone mere mortals, even extraordinary souls have been baffled in their bid to comprehend how Swamiji's mind worked. No wonder Sister Christine has placed Swamiji way above the greatest geniuses of the world in a plane all his own. He is simply nonpareil.

CAUSE FOR CONCERN


CAUSE FOR CONCERN


Undivided India had and now the quadrifurcated subcontinent has the largest number of Muslims in the world which proves that she suffered historically the worst Islamic atrocity of conquest, plunder, destruction of temples and universities, genocide, rape, slave trade of Hindus in Arab markers and forced conversion. The crowning crime was Partition with all its subsequent horrors, persecution of Hindus, genocide, exile, forced conversion et al. Even yoday the 1300 plus years of hatred of the kaffir-mushrik Hindu with all its concomitant evils continues in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan and within India, making cultural integration of the subcontinent, especially India, extremely difficult, even hazardous. National integration is still a far cry with so much of social tension ever building up with progressive demographic change. Sindh, the first Hindu principality to fall to Islamic conquest continues to suffer. What more shall I say but that despite the horrors of hundreds of years it is saddening to see superficial liberals talking nonsense about unity in diversity when it is the Hindu alone who believes in it while the Abrahamic adherents dream of converting the Hindus to their fold, a task to which they are committed and with hypocritical liberals helping, they are succeeding at it quite well? May Mother protect us by making men out of us so that we resist this proliferating evil!

MESSAGES GALORE ... 75


MESSAGES GALORE ... 75


1. Cowards cannot be devotees. Most are. We have failed the fundamental principle of Thakur: 'লজ্জা, ধৃণা, ভয়---এ তিন থাকতে নয় |'


2. গাছ লাগাও, দেশ বাঁচাও |


3. We are a civilised race.The world is barely emerging from savagery. It is thus incumbent upon us to spread civilisation on a war footing, if that does not sound too savage after all. The world looks to India for hope. The West is destroying human hopes with its greed for gain, gold and power. Colonialism is gone but it has been replaced by neocolonialism. We must resist it with all our might and usher in a new Vedantic civilisation that is humane and practical, not merely pompously theoretical whose high-sounding principles are passively preached from the safe security of pulpits in affluent countries. Let India's spirituality---not superstition or fraud, I caution---go out into the world and bring home the message of humanity to human beings now lost to roguish ideology---religious, nationalistic, commercial or of any shade and colour. India is the future of the world for she alone has the harmonising healing touch in her sublime spiritual culture that can bring peace, prosperity and amity in our fractured world. As Swamiji said, "https://www.ramakrishnavivekananda.info/vivekananda/volume_5/epistles_first_series/004_alasinga.htm


A hundred thousand men and women, fired with the zeal of holiness, fortified with eternal faith in the Lord, and nerved to lion's courage by their sympathy for the poor and the fallen and the downtrodden, will go over the length and breadth of the land, preaching the gospel of salvation, the gospel of help, the gospel of social raising-up — the gospel of equality."


May this prophecy of Swamiji fulfil in real terms across the world!


4. Continuous work is necessary. The country has to be saved.


5. Free speech must not be curtailed.


6. Europe is gearing up to the challenges of changing demography. We in India are facing a like challenge as Hindu population relatively declines. The solution is to know the scriptures that cause social tension, conflict, chaos and undesirable revolutionary change.


7. Let's question the roots of intolerant religions instead of merely criticising the behaviour of their adherents.


8. The Christ of yogic vision is not the Christ of the Gospels. The latter is followed by the Church, the former by the RKM.


9. How can you love and fear God at the same time? Love must kill fear. If fear is there, love isn't.


10. The irrational principles of Abrahamic religions make for a strong case for atheism. Vedantism is then just a step away.


11. What do you do when doubt afflicts your soul, doubts about God and His commandments? Follow reason and reject faith if irrational.


12. Everywhere am I but every doctrine I do not subscribe to. Advaita Vedanta supports my affirmation as the Self within all.


13. A few individual decisions can alter the course of history and yet there is a subterranean historical flow governing things.


14. The freer the society, the more scientific it is.


15. চুরিচামারি করতে করতে দেশটার আজ এই হাল | জ্ঞানবিজ্ঞানের চর্চা নেই, যত সব মূর্খের রাজত্ব |


16. Do not frighten people with the deadly idea of burning eternally in Hell for the sin of disbelief in your God. This is stupid.


17. As people evolve to become more rational, they will reject faith-based religions and accept experience-based Vedanta.


18. Do Christianity and Islam both not condemn us, Hindus, to Hell?


19. Greedy people preaching religion without leading continent lives. Big business flourishes thus that sees never a recession.


20. Do not fear. It restricts you, stunts your growth. Declare your independence. Freedom of thinking and speech are paramount.


21. We in India are as yet far removed from genuine free speech. We are not quite mature enough to take criticism of ideas in the right spirit.


22. Barbarism is not spirituality. It needs much more evolution before it may be deemed so.


23. If you are offended by criticism of ideology, you have every right to be so. But you do not possess the right to resort to violence to give vent to your offence.


24. Freedom of speech must in truth be protected in India. Otherwise, rational discourse will never gain ground.


25. Women's liberation will come with enlightened women. But enlightenment is necessary.


26. Tyranny and torture cannot be deemed love.


27. We are Hindus. We bear and bear and bear till we become polar bear.


28. Who gives people the right to disturb our work by loudspeaker Azaan?


29. Simple formula: outpopulate the Hindus overtime and convert Dar-ul-Harb to Dar-ul-Islam. The weapon of the womb!


30. There are so many Hindus working against Hindu interests. These are the internal enemies who will destroy us.


31. If you don't wake up now and act, there will no morrow for you. Forget not 712 CE Sindh nor 1922, 1946, 1947, 1971, 1991. Act now!


32. Do not fear. Face the brute.


33. Be strong. Be fearless. Be aware. But be without ill-feeling for any.


34. From amongst the Sanatanis will as yet arise warriors of the Ādyāshakti who will resurrect the ancient life of this holy land.


35. You can fool the whole world with misrepresentations of your holy book but you cannot fool those who have read it.


36. As yet the omniscient man has not been born nor in all likelihood will ever be. Even the greatest of men have their shortcomings.


37. If this is what God decrees, then Heaven is Hell and Hell is Hell and Earth is Hell as well.


38. Cover-up and deflection are the two tactics employed by Islamic apologists to hide intent, goal and method of Islamic ideology.


39. Break free of all fetters. Do not be under the domination of a God who holds your freedom to ransom simply because He wills it so.


40. Doctrine can destroy innocence and make monsters out of men.


41. Do not be seduced by divine doctrine that impels you to kill unbelievers. Such doctrine is best discarded as undivine.


42. Would China tolerate toxic Islamic propaganda that India does, that the West does?


43. Imān vs kufr --- this is the war.


44. How can you prevent anti-Semiticism, anti-polytheism, anti-atheism et al if these are scripturally mandated on believers?


45. Freedom consists not in being a hypocrite or an apologist but in living up to truth. Deception and pretension are to be shunned.


46. সবাই আমার লেখা পড়বে আর আমি কারোর লেখা পড়ব না---এই ভাবটা ভাল নয় |


47. Superficial thinkers are hardly thinkers. Pakistan was created when Muslims were 24% of the population of undivided India. Hence.


48. Pass your comment after due consideration of your own research into the depth of things.Jihād needs study of theology and history.


49. Spain recovered from Islamic conquest after 700 years. India did not, has not after 1300 years. And she is going down again.


50. Do not forget---Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan were all Bharatvarsha.


51. Hindu apology on behalf of Islam is despicable. This is cowardice, weakness and hypocrisy at its worst.


52. What we say must be what we mean.


53. Hindu gullibility has invited its enemies historically and continues to do so. Added to this is the modern Hindu Marxism.


54. The Jews said, "Never again," after the Holocaust. When will the Hindus say so after what they have endured for 1300 years?


55. Those who malign the RSS do not have the guts, though, to do so to a single radical Islamic organisation. Bravo bravery!


56. Yet again loudspeaker Azaan is disturbing me in my work.


57. বিপদের দিনে selfie তুলে লাভ নেই | বিপদ ঘনিয়ে আসছে | এখনও সময় আছে | সজাগ হও | নইলে নিশ্চিহ্ন হবে |


58. Nearly two billion Muslims are horrified by the prospect of burning in Hell should they fail to pass their earthly test. Sad!


59. Befriend God. Do not fear Him. He is all love and you are all love, and in love you meet. Then the river flows bothways.


60. Happily Hindus are respected everywhere in the world as creative contributing people and not deemed terrorists. We are proud 🕉.


61. The very fact that divine law cannot be altered makes it undivine, an archaic tribal hangover of the past unsuited to modernity.


62. What we need today is humanity about divisive religious ideology, science and spirituality above archaic tribal superstition.


63. Where is Heaven? Where is Hell?


64. Christopher Hitchens and now Douglas Murray.


65. I cannot quite accept Christian and Muslim conversion of Hindus. Conversion to me seems so violent, a destruction of identity.


66. All Muslims and Christians need to study Swami Vivekananda thoroughly to understand better what religion and spirituality truly are.


67. The Upanishads are the best scriptures for they do not divide the world into believers and non-believers but declare that all are divine. There is no selective love in the Upanishads but total acceptance of sentience as divinity incarnate.


68. প্রার্থনা অহংকারের প্রাচীর হতে প্রতিহত হয় |


69. স্বল্পাহার, বৃহদ্পাঠ---এ দুইয়ের সংযোগে সনাতন সভ্যতার সূর্যোদয় পুনর্বার হোক !


70. ঢাকা একদিন তত ঢাকা ছিল না | আজ অনেক বেশী ঢাকা |


71. Vanity hath no friend in Facebook. All online conversation and telephonic will be blocked if discourtesy and deceit be exhibited.


72. I was shocked to behold an abjectly cowardly devotee of Swamiji today prattling typical cowardly pseudoreligious stuff. Shameful!


73. শাস্ত্র উল্লেখ করে কাপুরুষতা ? তাও স্বামীজীর নামে ? অবাক করলে, বন্ধু ! ধিক্কার দিতেও লজ্জা বোধ করি |


74. Why humour someone with hollowness?


75. The West in trying to be politically correct has lost its power to speak directly 'offensive' truths about Islam.


76. Negative growth rate for Europeans and hyper-positive growth rate for immigrant and resident Muslims will overwhelm Europe soon. Alarming!


77. সত্যের ভিত্তিতে সম্প্রীতি সম্ভব | কিন্তু সত্য এই যে হিন্দু ইসলামের বিচারে ধর্মান্তরণ অথবা নিধনযোগ্য | তবে সম্প্রীতি কিরূপে সম্ভব?


78. Multiplying in numbers to overwhelm non-Muslim populations may suit Islamic intent but ushers in civilisational darkness.


79. A religion cannot be great if it's based on blind belief. Where is the rationale for such belief? Arbitrary assertion isn't truth.


80. The God of fury and fire could not have created the universe for He is so capricious, malicious and partial. Not much reason there.


81. We never threaten our children as much as the God of Heaven and Hell threatens us, non-believers. After all we are fuel for fire.


82. Childhood religious indoctrination, archaic, absolute and irrational, impairs the individual's evolution.


83. You can never understand Islam unless you read the Qur'an, the Hadees and the Sira. But I cry in the wilderness. None will listen.


84. The world is in a churn. Barbarism masquerading as religion has to be weeded out. It needs awareness and right action.


85. Christopher Hitchens was a great guy. Erudite beyond imagination, devastatingly witty and charming, he was simply nonpareil.


86. The West has won its freedom of speech after centuries of struggle against a tyrannical Church and must now not submit it to Islam.


87. অধর্মকে ধর্ম আখ্যা দিয়ে সম্মানপ্রদর্শন ঘোরতর অধর্ম |


88. অবতার অধর্মকে নাশ করতে আসেন | এবার তা পরিপূর্ণরূপে করলেন না কেন ? কেন ক্ষেত্রবিশেষে অধর্মকেও ধর্মের মর্যাদা দিলেন ?


89. Trained in Western universities, Islamic apologists are using refined logic to confuse westerners about their true intent.


90. একটা জীবন শুধু লোভের বশবর্তী হয়ে কাটাতে হবে ? এ কেমন জীবন তবে ?


91. শুধু অসন্তোষসহায়ে কোন্ বড় কাজ সম্ভব ? কোন্ সামান্য কাজই বা সম্ভব চীরক্ষুব্ধতায় ?


92. Little minds are fanatic. So are little religions, perverse political ideologies. Liberal is the large heart that encompasses all.


93. Indiscriminate killing of cows in the name of religious sacrifice must stop in India at least. This is a civilisational issue.


94. Barbarism cannot be allowed to proliferate in India in the name of religion. This is adharma.


95. A virus has long back entered our bloodstream and must be expelled from our system if fatality is not our civilisational aspiration.


96. Religions being different in content and intent, they ought not to be equated, neither the respective places of worship.


97. The conquest of Persia and its subsequent Islamisation, and now its second wave of Islamisation post 1979, has destroyed her hopes.


98. Anglo-American advocacy of democracy and human rights is a hoax. Historically they have undermined these wherever it has suited their geopolitical and economic interests to do so. Netaji and Rash Behari Bose were both right in identification of the imperialistic enemies.


99. If self-loathing is affecting the West, it is but karmic reaction after what the West has done to the world. History avenges.


100. The Jews are so brilliant. They have produced the greatest intellectuals of the world, the greatest thinkers and scientists. They are simply nonpareil.

"My mission is not Ramakrishna's nor Vedanta's nor anything but simply to bring MANHOOD to this people," said Swamiji to Nivedita.


"খোল-করতাল বাজিয়ে লম্ফঝম্প করে দেশটা উৎসন্নে গেল। একে তো এই dyspeptic (অজীর্ণ) রোগীর দল, তাতে আবার লাফালে ঝাঁপালে সইবে কেন? কামগন্ধহীন উচ্চ সাধনার অনুকরণ করতে গিয়ে দেশটা ঘোর তমসাচ্ছন্ন হয়ে পড়েছে। দেশে দেশে, গাঁয়ে গাঁয়ে যেখানে যাবি, দেখবি খোল-করতালই বাজছে! ঢাকঢোল দেশে তৈরি হয় না? তুরীভেরী কি ভারতে মেলে না ? ঐ-সব গুরুগম্ভীর আওয়াজ ছেলেদের শোনা। ছেলেবেলা থেকে মেয়েমানষি বাজনা শুনে শুনে, কীর্তন শুনে শুনে দেশটা যে মেয়েদের দেশ হয়ে গেল! এর চেয়ে আর কি অধঃপাতে যাবে ? কবিকল্পনাও এ ছবি আঁকতে হার মেনে যায়! ডমরু শিঙা বাজাতে হবে, ঢাকে ব্রহ্মরুদ্রতালের দুন্দুভিনাদ তুলতে হবে, 'মহাবীর, মহাবীর' ধ্বনিতে এবং 'হর হর ব্যোম্ ব্যোম্' শব্দে দিগ্দেশ কম্পিত করতে হবে। যে-সব music-এ (গীতবাদ্যে) মানুষের soft feelings (হৃদয়ের কোমল ভাবসমূহ) উদ্দীপিত করে, সে-সব কিছুদিনের জন্য এখন বন্ধ রাখতে হবে। খেয়াল-টপ্পা বন্ধ করে ধ্রুপদ গান শুনতে লোককে অভ্যাস করাতে হবে। বৈদিক ছন্দের মেঘমন্দ্রে দেশটার প্রাণসঞ্চার করতে হবে। সকল বিষয়ে বীরত্বের কঠোর মহাপ্রাণতা আনতে হবে। এইরূপ ideal follow (আদর্শ অনুসরণ) করলে তবে এখন জীবের কল্যাণ, দেশের কল্যাণ। তুই যদি একা এভাবে চরিত্র গঠন করতে পারিস, তা হলে তোর দেখাদেখি হাজার লোক ঐরূপ করতে শিখবে। কিন্তু দেখিস, ideal (আদর্শ) থেকে কখনও যেন এক পা-ও হটিসনি। কখনও সাহসহীন হবিনি। খেতে শুতে পরতে, গাইতে বাজাতে, ভোগে রোগে কেবলই সৎসাহসের পরিচয় দিবি। তবে তো মহাশক্তির কৃপা হবে।"
