The Muslim Mind and Madrasas

                                                               Lalit K Kaul

Declare the Muslims in Gaza, West Bank and Lebanon: The Jews have no right to live! Declare Muslims in Pakistan: Hindus and Jews have no right to live and if they want to live, they must either convert or pay Zaziya! When asked Why? They respond: They are Kafirs because they don't accept Allah and His Nabi. These are words from the mouths of what are addressed to as “common Muslims” and not Mujahidin or Jihadi.

In our own country-Bharat- a “common Muslim" had posted that Hindus have no right to live and that in a few years’ time all Hindus would become Muslims! He was arrested, but then our jails are very safe and comfortable resorts for such mentally sick and ideologically motivated specie. I don't want to call them beasts because that would tantamount to insulting the beasts. Because there are “Beasts of Burden" which are quite useful and hard-working.

Then we have affluent class of Muslims. Here is what I define as their ideologically motivated state of mind.  Javed Akhtar: “Dar Ka Mahol Hai".  Shabana Azmi: “Ram and Sita were brother and sister". Amir Khan: “My wife is scared of living in this country". Naseeruddin Shah: “Muslims are scared to wear their religious symbols". When Azharuddin was accused of match fixing, he made a public statement: “I was targeted because I am a Muslim". Sania Mirza: Has lots of problems with one Afghan player carrying Indian Tricolour with him, during victory lap and vociferously advocated complaining to ICC for such an act. She was joined by Pakistani Muslims of her stature. All such statements are meant to be fodder for their Pakistani lords.

The political and religious leaders of Indian Muslims are very well known for their hate and venomous speeches against Hindus and they are well supported by “Half Muslims" in our country.

When Indian Moon mission was successful and Chandrayan had landed at the place where no other space vehicle had, the Muslim “intellectuals” in Pakistan declared, while debating on different TV channels, that all the claims were unmitigated lies and that Hindus’ entire edifice is founded and based on falsehood. Further they asserted that it was all about simulating a situation like virtual reality. When “common Muslims” in Pakistan were asked about it, they unequivocally asserted, “Chand Pae Jaana Haraam Hai”. “Koi Musalmaan Chand Pae Jaanae ki soch nahi sakta". When asked why, they responded, “Kyonki Chand Islam Ki Nishani Hai Jo Hamarae Nabi Nae di Hai". “Yeh Jo Kehtae hain ki Jameen Gol hai aur yeh suraj kae irdh-girdh goomti hai who Imaan pae nahi hain".

I wondered why our “Half Muslims” and Muslim “intellectuals” in India did not support the counterparts in Pakistan; like, they had sought proof of surgical strikes and so I expected them to seek proof for the landing of Chandrayan.

The ICC World Cup 2023: The Pakistanis -common Muslims- in their innumerous U-Tube channels assert that Indian cricket team was winning because 1) their bowlers were given a different type of ball from the one given to its opponents to bowl with and 2) the pitch was being treated in a particular way before Indian team came to bat. This piece of information was confirmed by the Cricketing Great- the one and the only one Sri Wasim Akram- on a Pakistani sports channel in the show titled “The Pavilion". On the question why Pakistan's cricket team was not performing, the unique reply given was, “the players are not given beef to eat". Another fast bowler of Pakistan of yesteryears, Waqar Younus, in his press briefing stated that he was proud of Rizwan who had offered Namaz while being in the midst of Hindus!

Here in our own country, TV sets becomes victim whenever India wins a cricket match and it becomes like Bakr-Eid for TV sets when India wins against Pakistan.

The Islamic Bomb:

Those who invented Nuclear Bombs and warheads never called it a Christian Bomb. When India acquired the capability, it was not named as Hindu Bomb. If Jews have it, they wouldn't call it a Jew Bomb. The communist nations didn't name their capability as Communist Bomb. Pakistan declares that their nuclear bombs are for the Islamic Nations and it is an Islamic bomb! This is the attitude that demarcates Muslims from rest of the communities because unlike others they are ideologically driven.

The Home Minister of Pakistan declared publicly “we have pav- pav kilo bombs that we can throw at dushman mulk (India) if we want.” Declared the TLP chief, “Hamara atom bomb kis liyae hai kamron ki sajawat kae liyae! Agar ab istaemaal nahi kiya phir kab karogae. Mai kehta hoon ek haath mein bomb uthao aur doosrae mein Quran aur niklo yahudion pae fenknae kae liyae". This is arrogance born out of ignorance but driven by the Ideology that is unique to Muslims as no other race/community has their kind of ideology.

There is nothing Islamic in the nuclear capability that Pakistan has acquired. Because the brains behind its theoretical formulation and technology development for its manufacture are- if that doesn’t annoy Muslims- Christians! So- if Muslims don't have objections- it may be rightly christened as Christianity Bomb. By why they named it as “Islamic bomb"? Because they wanted to convey to the non-Muslim world that they are here to annihilate entire “Kafir” world unless the “Kafirs” accept Islam.

The Israel-Hamas war is in fact Muslim Vs non-Muslim as I had put down in my earlier posts. Therefore, ideologically it motivates them to make use of nuclear bombs to annihilate the “Kafir" world. And, therefore, one finds TLP exhorting Pakistan Establishment to carry bomb in one hand and Quran in the other. Why the Holy Quran? Because if they hold the Holy Quran in one hand and go after “Kafirs" then their Allah will be pleased and shall ensure victory for His Mujahidin.

The Madrasas and the Moulvis and Maulana:

In any school, college and university a teacher teaches from a book as per prescribed syllabus- be such studies related to physical and biological sciences and/or vocational ones. A teacher's job is to put across concepts to the students and create in them a kind of inquisitiveness to study further. A teacher cannot be blamed for what he/she teaches because it's all in the book.

Similarly, the madrasas impart religious education to its students and this they do by taking material from their religious books and documents. Therefore, a Moulvi and a Maulana can't be accused of “radicalizing” their students. For, they teach from whatever material is available to them and approved by experts in that knowledge domain. The ideology that stimulates the minds of the madrasa students to carry out bomb blasts, annihilate lives and take it as their solemn duty as they remain convinced that they are in the “way of Allah", an employee of a madrasa cannot be held responsible for it.

To accuse madrasas and Maulanas of “radicalizing” young minds is to be unfair to them. For example, what made Maulana Abdul Kalam Azad to make a public statement that India is not the right place for Muslims to live? And, that they should migrate to Afghanistan! It's the very ideology that motivates Muslims to declare that Jews and Hindus have no right to live.

Even if it is decided to close down all the madrasas, the Ideology shall stay in the minds and shall be propagated through websites, as is being experienced in Europe and UK.

The Way Out:

Instead of blaming Madrasas, Moulvis and Maulanas, the State machinery should adopt ruthless attitude towards those whose indulgence is loot, rape, arson and bomb blasts and their leaders who incite such barbarities.  But the problem in our country is that the State machinery is totally compromised; the judicial system is in a deep slumber as it takes a minimum of 15 to 20 years to bring ideologically driven specie to justice and they are aware of it. They are also aware that lifetime bail is ever available only if one has the resources to avail it. So those motivated by the Ideology know that they would have lived near full life before they are brought to justice. The lower courts (a minimum of 15 years), high courts (a minimum of 5 years) and supreme court (a minimum of 5 years). All this followed by review and mercy petitions! A criminal- whether ideologically motivated or otherwise- rests assured of a royal treatment in prison, if only he/she has the resources to fill coffers of jail authorities. And the leaders of the pack are ever ready to finance such bail and royal life in prison only to impress upon their cadre that they will be taken care of, if apprehended by law enforcing agencies. Because the funds are never a problem as the elite and the so-called mainstream are ever ready to finance such ideological driven activities.

Until the judicial system wakes up from its deep slumber, the useless and meaningless debate on how a moderate ideology is radicalized by madrasas can go on. Modernizing madrasas- the most unproductive activity can go on. Debates on whether the ideologically driven people are misguided youth or terrorists can go on and thus detaching them from their base and coming up with solutions that have no relevance to the real-world dynamics of such ideologically driven people.
