"Here we are back - the Mujahideen of India - the terrorists on the disbelievers - the radicals of Islam - after our triumphant and successful assault at Jaipur, once again calling you all, who disbelieve in Allah and His Messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him) to accept Islam and bear witness that there is none to be worshipped except Allah, and that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah. Accept Islam and save yourselves. ... O Hindus! O disbelieving faithless Indians! Haven’t you still realized that the falsehood of your 33 crore dirty mud idols and the blasphemy of your deaf, dumb, mute and naked naked idols of ram, krishna and hanuman are not at all going to save your necks, Insha-Allah, from being slaughtered by our hands? Nor is your fictitious faith in monkeys, pigs and nude statues going to save you from the Wrath of Allah and His Humiliating Punishment Punishment."

"We call you, O Hindus, O enemies of Allah, to take an honest stance with yourselves lest another attack of Ibn-e-Qasim sends shivers down your spines, lest another Ghauri shakes your foundations, and lest another Ghaznawi massacres you, proving your blood to be the cheapest of all mankind!"

"So wait! ................ Await Await now……….! Wait only for five minutes from now! .... Wait for the Mujahideen and Fidayeen of Islam and stop them if you can - who will make you feel the terror of Jihad. Feel the havoc cast into your hearts by Allah, the Almighty, face His Dreadful Punishment, Punishment, and suffer the results of fighting the Muslims and the Mujahideen. Await the anguish, agony, sorrow and pain. Await, only for 5 minutes, to feel the fear of death."

"Stop them if you can... Await, only for 5 minutes, to feel the fear of death."

"Remember, O you Gujarati Hindus! O you filthy, shameless and foul creatures! O you Gujarati Hindus, most most immoral and the most gutless cowards! Remember whom you have fought against! You have fought against the inheritors of a Messenger of Allah, of a Prophet of Allah whose terror was cast on the enemy from a distance of a month’s journey. You have fought against the warriors who love death more than you love life, who fight for a cause that makes them enter a never- never-ending Paradise, who fight for an absolute purpose - the purpose of making Islam superior over all religions."

"The Islamic sharia allows the mujahideen to go to any extent to crush the dignity and power of the enemy. by allowing to destroy their trees, their areas, their animals. above is a clear witness on mass destruction used against the Kuffar."

""In the name of Allah, the Indian Mujahideen strike again! Do whatever you can, within five minutes from now, feel the terror of death!" said an e-mail from the group sent to several Indian television stations minutes before the blasts began. The e-mail's subject line said "Await five minutes for the revenge of Gujarat," an apparent reference to 2002 riots in the state which left 1,000 people, mostly Muslims, dead. The historic city of Ahmedabad was the scene of much of the 2002 violence."

"All India Muslim Personal Law Board nor the Babri Masjid Action Committee nor the Sunni Waqf Board nor any litigant has any right to alter or compromise on any of these aspects whatsoever regarding the Babri Masjid. All sorts of bartering and bargaining is totally unacceptable to Allah and thus to the Muslims."

"Indian Mujahideen strikes back once more. Within 5 minutes from now... This time with the Message of Death, dreadfully terrorising you for your sins. And thus our promise will be fulfilled. Inshallah...Do whatever you want and stop us if you can."

"Know that it is only the true confession of the Oneness of Allah Alone, with no associates, that can save your blood from being spilled on the streets of your own cities. We call you, O Hindus, O enemies of Allah, to take an honest stance with yourselves yourselves lest another attack of Ibn- Ibn-e-Qasim sends shivers down your spines, lest another Ghauri shakes your 5foundations, and lest another Ghaznawi massacres you, proving your blood to be the cheapest of all mankind! Have you forgotten your history full of subjugation, humiliation, and insult? Or do you want us to repeat it again? Take heed before it is too late!"

"Lastly, we intimidate and threaten the Media and the News channels, especially the TIMES OF INDIA and the TIMES NOW to be extra cautious in their propaganda 12war against the Muslims. Your biased and impartial approach to the news and the noise and the politics you make of ‘Islamic Terrorism’ indicates your hostility, hatred and fear that you grudge against Muslims and your loyal allegiance to the cunning ones who call themselves the “Intelligence Bureau”. You become dumb when it comes to the oppression and torture of the Muslims, faced in riots, firing, encounters, police custodies, remand homes and civil courts and your propaganda turns violent to project the ‘brutality’ of ‘Islamic terrorists’ and their ‘ruthlessness’ and their ‘merciless mentality’ and so on. We warn you to end this hypocrisy or get ready for a bloody slaughter."

"The terms Democracy, secularism, equality, integrity, peace, freedom, voting, elections are yet another fraud with us. ... We also alert Mukesh Ambani to think twice before usurping and building a citadel on a land in Mumbai that belongs to the Waqf Board, lest it turns into horrifying memories for you which you will never ever forget."

"Yes! We - the terrorists of India – THE INDIAN MUJAHIDEEN, - the militia of Islam whose each and every Mujahid belongs to this very soil of India India - have returned, to execute the compulsion of Allah. Here we begin the answer to your tyranny and oppression, raising the illustrious banner of Jihad against the Hindus and all those who fight and resist us, and here we begin our revenge with the the Help and Permission of Allah, - A terrifying revenge Insha-Allah of our blood, our lives, and our honor that will Insha-Allah terminate your survival on this land."

"To dreadfully terrorise you this time, by the Will and Help of Almighty Allah, we are about to devastate your very first metropolitan centre, your most strategic 'hindutva hub, your green zone -- yes! It's your own capital. ...[it is] almost going to stop the heart of India from beating.... Let us make it clear to all the enemies of Muslims, especially the Hindus of India, that the BJP backed RSS, VHP Bajrang Dal, and the entire Sangh Parivar would be the only responsible factors for whatever horrifying tragedies you are to face in the nearest future. The cause will be these wicked bastards and the effect will be on the entire nation."

"In the name of Allah the Indian Mujahideen strike again! Do whatever you can, within 5 minutes from now, feel the terror of Death!... We wonder at your memory. Have you forgotten the evening of 11 July 2006 so quickly and so easily?"

"As the country begins tweeting #AllEyesOnReasi, comparing the brutal killings of Hindu pilgrims in Jammu to the killings in Palestine by Israel and spreading more hate and division, no one really knows the stories of the victims and the wants of their families."

"One eyewitness told India Today that the firing on the mangled bus went on for around 20 minutes. "After having darshan at Mata Vaishno Devi, I went to Shiv Khori. While returning from there, after 4-5 km, bullets were fired on our bus. The firing did not stop even after our bus fell into the ditch. The driver was shot and then some people were also injured in the firing," a survivor told ANI."

"Another survivor confirmed that the terrorists kept on firing. "I went for darshan of Shiv Khori. While returning, some people opened fire on our bus. Later, the bus fell into a ditch. Several people were injured in the incident. The firing did not stop even after the bus fell. I think there were 2-3 (terrorists) there. My son saw a man firing on our bus from behind," he added."

"The extent of jihadi entrenchment in Kerala was demonstrated in 2003 in Marad, a sleepy coastal fishing village, where eight Hindu fishermen were hacked to death by a Muslim mob on the beach. The killers then hid inside the nearby Jumma Masjid, where hundreds of local Muslim women converged to prevent the police from entering to catch the attackers. This became known as the Marad Massacre or Second Moplah Massacre. Justice Thomas P. Joseph’s commission was set up to investigate the massacre, and it came out with shocking details about the robust infrastructure that the jihadis had built in Kerala. The assistant commissioner of police testified before the commission, stating that National Development Front (NDF) had been receiving very large funds from unspecified foreign countries to carry out its terror training. The commission reported that the Crime Branch had failed to inquire into the source of funds for such a large quantity of weapons and well coordinated attacks."

"The Marad massacre of Hindu fishermen by the Moslems has been conveniently ignored by the nation."

"Another disturbing dimension that the commission brought out was the nexus of politicians, bureaucrats and jihadis. The assistant commissioner was severely criticized for the way he tried to shield one of the prime accused, and for his failure to maintain surveillance on a suspected militant despite intelligence warnings. This police officer tried to remain involved in the massacre area even after he had been transferred in the ‘public interest’. The commission pointed out that his appointment was ‘shrouded in suspicious circumstances’ and that allegations of his links with the terrorists could not be ignored. The commission reported that this official had been appointed without knowledge of the police head and this was done ‘to oblige a Muslim leader’."

"[In India’s Nagaland state, there is an insurgency driven by the idea of a Maoist Christian nation-state. The Naga separatist guerillas declared in their manifesto:] The sovereign existence of our country, the salvation of our people in socialism with their spiritual salvation in Christ, are unquestionable. . . . We stand for socialism. . . . We stand for faith in God and the salvation of mankind in Jesus, the Christ, alone, that is, ‘Nagaland for Christ’. . . . We rule out the illusion of saving Nagaland through peaceful means. It is arms and arms alone that will save our nation."

"From the late 1990s, the Maoists have started creating nexuses with various Jehadhi cells planted throughout India. Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist Azam Ghouri, for example, was arrested after his meeting with some important Maoist leaders in the Warangal and Nizamabad districts of Andhra Pradesh in September 1999."

"We will not change the subject and discuss the large though unknown number of Hindus killed by Christian separatists in Mizoram and Nagaland over the decades, nor the terror of Christian natives in Fiji against Hindus, the latter phenomenon... is not the target of any protest in the world media, and the first is never even mentioned, so I suppose we need not attach any undue importance to the death of Hindus at the hands of Christians."

"It is hardly a case of ‘an army of the poor against the army of the rich’, as Roy suggests. On the contrary, it seems like the Maoists are better armed, better equipped and have better intelligence facilities. . . . Hundreds of policemen and other unarmed people have died in the Maoist attacks while Roy accuses the media of demonising the Maoists and coming up with figures about Maoist violence that are inaccurate and even false."

"American Baptist and Evangelical groups are financing the propagation of Christian religious bigotry of the most obscurantist kind in India's Northeast and tribal belts. Much of this bigotry has resulted in armed separatism, terrorism and ethnic cleansing of tribes refusing to become Christians.... The Indian people is not financing movements violently disrupting American society. By contrast, American citizens are financing Church activities in India which often shade over into armed separatism, social disruption of tribal societies and ethnic cleansing."

"It may be years before the gory scene at Marad fades from the minds of the many families who lived at the beach."

"This arguably is the first case in India where the game of politics was played employing terrorist methods ."

"Numerous Hindus have been killed by Christian separatists in Nagaland and Mizoram, while the outside world believes that it is the meek Christians who are threatened and persecuted in India by the ugly fanatical Hindus because all the media coverage has been given to the killing of a few Christians in Orissa."

"The phrase of "crackdown" that the Indian army uses really is a euphemism of mass destruction. And rape. And brutalisation. That happens all the time. It's still happening now. … The decision to treat all Kashmiris as if they're potential terrorists is what has unleashed this, the kind of "holocaust" against the Kashmiri people. And we know ourselves, from most recent events in Europe, how important it is to resists treating all Muslims as if they're terrorists, but the Indian army has taken the decision to do the opposite of that, to actually decide that everybody is a potential combatant to treat them in that way. And the level of brutality is quite spectacular. And, frankly, without that the jihadists would have had very little response from the Kashmiri people who were not really traditionally interested in radical Islam. So now they're caught between the devil and the deep blue sea, and that's the tragedy of the place."

"With regard to the violence by the Christian separatist group NLFT, the report again employed ambiguous and generalized statements to dilute the horrific acts of terror committed in the name of Christianity. While acknowledging Christian violence, it referred to the Hindus as the ‘majority religious community’ even though in the northeast Indian states where most such violence occurs, it is Christians who constitute the overwhelming majority not only numerically but also in terms of controlling the government and other civic institutions. The report mentioned the Christian violence as something which others have ‘accused’, and not as a matter of established fact, despite there being numerous official verdicts and reports in India proving that violence... It concludes its very brief paragraph on this matter by rationalizing the violence as the fault of the Hindus: ‘The group contends that the dominance of Hinduism has resulted in the marginalization of Christians in Tripura’. In other words, Christian violence is caused by their alleged ‘marginalization’, and is hence justified, even though Hindus have been systematically ethnically cleansed from that region. Unlike its reporting of the alleged atrocities against Christians, where the Hindu side of the story is never given, here the NLFT’s reasoning is given prominence... The specific events of killings of Hindus by NLFT are never discussed. USCIRF simply ignores the numerous reports by South Asian Terrorism Portal (www.satp.org), a terrorism watch group run by professional police and intelligence bureaucrats, that listed twenty-one violent incidents involving NLFT Christians for that year."

"Many people in the country do NOT know this #KashmirFiles fact: first batch of 70 terrorists trained by ISI were arrested by J&K Police but ill-thought political decision had them released & same terrorists later on lead the many terrorist organizations in J&K. #KashmirFilesTruth"

"The most prominent among the terrorist outfits of Tripura is the NLFT (National Liberation Front of Tripura). It employs terror tactics to effect mass conversion to Christianity (The Statesman 1999, 2000; Ghosh 1999) and is a predominantly Baptist (Protestant) organisatian. Whatever token non-Christian representation it had, it has lost recently. Nayanbashi Jamatiya, a Hindu leader, led a revolt against the policy of forcible conversion of the NLFT and left a rebel camp in neighbouring Bangladesh with his followers. On April 8, 2001, while his party was moving towards the Indian border; it was attacked by the main group; seven activists were killed and he himself was seriously injured and taken to a government hospital in Bangladesh."

"In Tripura there were several cases of reverse persecution of non-Christians by Christian members of the National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT), a militant tribal group that often is evangelical. For example, NLFT tribal insurgents have banned Hindu and Muslim festivals in areas that they control, cautioned women not to wear traditional Hindu tribal attire, and banned indigenous forms of worship."

"Pakistan's view that terrorism in Kashmir is a legitimate national liberation war and is to be distinguished from any global campaign against terrorism is something that India should carefully take note of.."

"To suggest that the only terrorism in Kashmir is the one at the hands of the security forces is to make a travesty of the real situation there ."

"Although sectarian violence is stigmatized, the use of terrorism in Kashmir is widely seen as a legitimate last resort in the Kashmiri “freedom struggle”—although this struggle is never called terrorism."

"Increasing evidence suggests that terrorism in Kashmir is transforming into an all-India pan-Islamic campaign. There have been reports of mercenaries, especially Afghan mujahideen joining forces with the Kashmiris to fight a jihad ...."

"However, the theory also needed identification of plotters, executioners and experts for the sake of credibility. The attempt was to portray some of the top RSS leaders as the masterminds. People like Sadhvi Pragya, Aseemanand and Sunil Joshi were painted as their lieutenants. Col. Purohit and his associates were fitted into the role of experts while the remaining accused were shown as the executioners of the terror plan. The latter category of people included characters like Ramchandra Kalsangra and Sandeep Dange who remained out of bounds for investigative agencies. Perhaps, the top agencies were not even interested in apprehending these accused, as their real motive was not to reach the truth but to give shape to a fictitious theory to benefit their political masters.... There were no serious efforts to nab these accused as the real motive was to frame the RSS leadership."

"The circumstances, as well as the experiences, pointed fingers at Pak-based Jihadi groups. Haryana Police, who had managed to reach the source of suitcases used in the blasts, conducted the initial investigation. The attacks had clear imprints of involvement of SIMI recruits. The SIMI chief, Safdar Nagori, was said to be the mastermind of the conspiracy. The narcotics, brain mapping and lie detectors conducted upon him confirmed this suspicion. Nagori was also an accused in the 7/11 Mumbai train blasts. It was during the interrogation related to this case that he revealed that some SIMI activists had colluded with Pakistani terrorists to carry out the Samjhauta Express blasts. The advanced explosive used in the terror operation indicated help from across the border."

"Later, allegations were lifted against Sharma in the Malegaon blast case leading to questions about whether the Mecca Masjid probe was also flawed. There is little doubt that the whole investigation was politically motivated. It seems like a fabricated theory from the outset whose motive was pre-meditated. However, it lacked the backing of solid evidence."

"All these compelling facts were thrown out of the window based on Aseemanand’s statement. He went only so far as to state that Sunil Joshi had boasted the hand of his own men in the blasts. This could never be corroborated since Sunil Joshi was murdered. There was no change in the modus operandi in the police’s version; only the characters were replaced."

"Ironically, the attack took place on the train that symbolised the fight against terrorism. As the name suggested, it was a mark of building trust between the two nations. Targeting this train was a painful wound inflicted upon India, but ascribing it to Hindu organisations only rubbed salt on the injury."

"The angle of the investigation changed when the NIA took over the probe. Seeking to establish the theory of Hindu terrorism, it arrested Swami Aseemanand and some other suspects."

"The hand of Lashkar and HuJI behind the blast had become clear during initial stages of the probe. There was credible evidence against HuJI commander Abdul Shahid in the Mecca Masjid blast case. He was allegedly operating out of Pakistan and Bangladesh. Later, he was reported dead in Pakistan. These clear indications mattered little as a new direction was given to the probe. However, as Indresh Kumar stated, a lie has no feet, and most of the witnesses in the saffron terror theory backed out with time forcing the NIA to admit that it lacked credible evidence."

"On May 18, 2007 a bomb blast took place in Mecca Masjid near Charminar in Hyderabad wherein 9 persons were killed and 58 others injured... These are information available in public domain, in the court records of the Special CBI Judge at Hyderabad. Certain similarities between the Samjhauta Express blasts and the Mecca Masjid blast were noticed in so far as both used batteries of 6 volts and cast iron pipes etc."

"In the midnight of 18 February 2007, bombs went off in two carriages of the Samjhauta Express, a train service connecting Delhi and Lahore, just after the train passed Diwana station near Panipat in Haryana. The bombings claimed 68 lives. Like the 26/11 attack in Mumbai, there were attempts to link this incident to the RSS. While the script in the former case was written in the form of a book by a hardliner, this one was an official version released by the NIA. Regardless of who the culprit was, there cannot be two opinions about the fact that politics on the Samjhauta Express blasts did immense damage to India’s fight against terrorism."

"Hyderabad’s famous Lumbini Park and Gokul Chaat shop areas also came under attack during this so-called ‘Hindutva Phase of terror.’ Two terror suspects Shahid and Bilal were arrested in connection with this act. The initial investigation suggested it was the handiwork of HuJI. The police and ATS probe established that the masterminds of this blast and that of Mecca Masjid bombing were the same. Such a clear connection between these two acts punches several holes in the theory that Hindu extremists had perpetrated the Mecca Masjid explosion."

"The irrefutable evidence against Col. Purohit, Aseemanand and the other co-accused was nowhere in sight. But when the alleged SIMI activists were released despite proofs or details of their modus operandi, the real purpose behind raking up the issue of saffron terrorism without any solid evidence started to unveil."

"The Samjhauta Express blast was one such episode in this vicious cycle. There was ample proof to suggest Lashkar-e-Taiba’s footprint in the strike. The Indian Government had even prepared a 2000-page dossier based on this evidence and handed it over to Pakistan."
