A provoking report from Colombo

A provoking report has come from Colombo, summing up, “After Nepal now Sri Lanka is going to be a safe zone for ‘Lashkar-e-Taiyba’ where they are preparing plans for attacks on India and Europe. There Wahhabis come in a sizable number as male and female tourists and plan out for terrorism with the help and support of local people.

“This international terrorist organization has the support of ISI. This group brings its plans in shape through the medium of fake currency. Its intense effect in local people is increasing and the threat of riot between Wahhabis and Buddhists is also increasing like the riot in Myanmar. After the recent attacks, threat among the Muslims of Bodh Gaya has increased….Incidence of Gaya also affected Sri Lanka. Wahhabis targeted not only the liberal Muslims, but Buddhists, Hindus and Christians too. Tamil Ministers of Sri Lanka are also worried because of the Lashkar activities. They are under threat that if these activities are not stopped, there may attack temples and churches. Lashkar-e-Taiyba is contacting the armed organizations of Syria and training them for destruction.”

Objective of this mischieve

The Sunday Guardian (6 October) published the report of its reporter, Madhonaalpat, on first page as first news and the reporter has prepared this story with reference to the “unknown specialists” of international terrorism. That means their “specialists” did not disclose their names which clearly indicates that in the name of so-called terrorist organizations, it is a part of the mission to get the global support against Islam and practising Muslims by defaming them which is running under the label of “War on Terror” for the last few years. In this pointless ridiculous report, an evil and shameless attempt is made to aggravate the Sri Lankan Hindu, Bodh, Tamils and Christians against native Muslims. When it is regarding Indian Muslims, they are already mortgaged on the question of terrorist groups across the border.

No matter what report is coming about such groups, whatever statement is given in this regard, they cannot say anything even if it comes to their religion. If they dare to speak something, would be considered traitors. Because of such groups, they are compelled to bear abusive words like ‘Islamic Terrorism’ and ‘Muslim Terrorism’.

Analysis of the report:

Since this report covers the name of Lashkar-e-Taiyba, Pakistan and its ISI, hence, it is the duty of foreign Minister of Islamabad or Pakistani High Commission in New Delhi to clarify their position; we have no concern with Pakistan.

Likewise, if the government has solid proof against the group named Lashkar-e-Taiyba, then strict action should be taken against it; the whole country is there to support the government.

But this report of Colombo is neither unexpected nor makes any surprise to the Muslim community as they are becoming used to hearing and reading such communal stories.

Here, concern is with one aspect of the report – “Editorial director of Sunday Guardian, M.J. Akbar, who is a famous English journalist, is well known to us what he is according to belief, ideology and principles. Since he has a Muslim background, it is certain that he will not be unaware of the basic teachings of Islam and history of Muslim Umma.”

He must be aware of the truth of ‘War on Terror’ very well – we are not surprised on what mainstream media and other observers are crying for, either they are unaware of the facts or they are intentionally being a part of anti-Islamic global mission. Everyone of them has its own personal agenda and self-interest. But it is very surprising and moreover regretful when a famous observer, in spite of having Islamic understanding and with Muslim ground, publishes mischievous report in his newspaper. It will be very nice if Mr M.J. Akbar himself analyses this report and either does its confirmation or denies it.
