A News Item in Asian Age Today

The one and only free public forum for Bohras. The focus of this forum is the reform movement, the Dawoodi Bohra faith and, of course, the corrupt priesthood. But the discussion is in no way restricted to the Bohras alone.

A News Item in Asian Age Today

Read A News Item in Asian Age today that confirms that honouring the murderer Modi and presenting him with crores of rupees was only to safeguard Kothar's interests in Gujarat:

BPO man, a Muslim, thrashed for Modi convoy intrusion
By Deepal Trevedie

Ahmedabad, Aug. 29: A 22-year-old BPO employee was mercilessly thrashed by the city police and "taught a lesson" for daring to disrupt Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi's convoy. Mr Modi was passing by on Ashram Road after inaugurating a function when Hussain Tahir Marketwala tried to cross the road. A convoy vehicle had to apply its brakes. Mr Modi's personal commando asked for his car to be stopped near Hussain. He got down to have a word with Hussain, who was the only "civilian" on the road, but Mr Modi gestured to the commando to get back in the car and get going.
However, soon after Mr Modi's vehicle passed, about half a dozen local policemen took hold of Hussain. He was asked for his name, and "once it was clear that he was a Muslim he was beaten up mercilessly," a policeman told this newspaper. "The police thrashed him on the road itself... They said it was necessary to teach him a lesson to dare to come in front of the chief minister's convoy." The policeman acknowledged that the man was beaten severely once it became evident from this name that he was a Muslim. "After the Godhra riots, all the terrorists who have come to kill Mr Modi have been Muslims. Muslims cannot be trusted in Gujarat. They might have an agenda to damage the chief minister. We cannot take things lightly. If something happens to Mr Modi, it would be said that the police did not do anything. This Muslim had to be taught a lesson to respect the chief minister," a policeman said.
Hussain sustained serious injuries and had to seek medical help. In fact, his ear injury is quite major and may even lead to a hearing impairment.
However, Hussain and his family not only deny this but have refused to criticize the police or the public beating. Sources said the family was petrified and had decided that they could not afford to take a stand against the police.
"Muslims in Gujarat live under constant fear. Even if they are right, they do not want to prove the administration or the government wrong. They feel that if they do so, they will be further targeted and harassed," a Muslim schoolteacher who sought anonymity said. "We live like second-class citizens. But we lack courage to stand up because in doing so there is more danger to us," he said.
Najma Marketwala, Hussain's sister, told this newspaper: "It is just hype. My brother has been beaten up. But the cops have been very cooperative. In fact, we are big fans of Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi. We have no complaints against the police or anyone else." Hussain Marketwala himself said later: "I had no clue that the road was closed and the CM was travelling. I committed a very serious mistake. I had to be punished. The police has done nothing wrong in beating me up in public."
A policeman said: "It seems the Marketwala family is scared to come out in the open against the government. This is the general psyche of Muslims in Gujarat today."

May Allah save the muslim ummah from the curse of Modi. Why are we so helpless/hopeless. Why don't we have any say in media.

Where the hack are muslim leaders. Butcher Modi needs to be punished.

Why are no hindus raising their voice against this volience.

Where are those Non-Violent Jains.

Modi is follower of same school of thought who killed Mahatama Gandhi. I realy admire Mahatma Gandhi.

Why are we so helpless.

Soon there will be fall of Sonia/Congress government. Than what? This extrimists will kill us innocent muslims.

These kind of NEWS makes me very sad.

It sounds like plient family perhaps they are instructed not to make big deal.

Muslims other then plient obident type will take to street immediately.

Muslims in Gujarat has no representation in Govt. They Have started for establish mini-pakistan in every Town and City. Small scale businesses have sprung up.

How can we stop this?

How can we make sure that our future generations don't grow up under such a regime.

Look at Jews, 3% but no American fundamentalist can point a finger on them.

How can we stop extremism from growing in India.

India is a country to the 2nd most largest Muslim population of the world.

Many powerful Ismailis have already left India and are now settled in west/middle east/Africa. Remaining once are not that powerful. Cream of the community has already left the country.

I don't see any hope with in ismailies. But whats going on with other communities? How are you guys preparing yourself?

We can't leave India. This is our country. Plus future of India does offer lots of opportunities. If we can save our self from extremists, than Muslims have very prosperous future in India.

Bomb Blasts in Hyderabad and they are blaming Muslims for this. Why will a Muslim blast a bomb in mosque. I think BJP is conducting this bomb blast. But who is going to hear me. Every big TV Chanel is blaming this on Pakistan or Bangladesh and indirectly blaming on Muslim Ummah.

Mostly muslims are of hyderabad are know for their Non-Violence.

Whats going on??

Salaams
When Modi wanted to visit USA, Indian Muslim Council and CAIR were successful in getting his visa cancelled. Now Modi has hired an American Public Relation company to brush up his image, once again Indian Muslim Council (Kothar does not want to be part of IMC as we did inquire from different Jamat people to join) has already started a campagain to educate that American company and members of media about Narendra Modi's atrocities and this article will help us tremendously in this regard, Thank you Br.

Omabharti:

The following is the result/spin of MODI's American Public Relations work; partly presumably funded by Kothar's political donations/bribe to MODI.

by sheer coincidence, if u watch the video closely, u see a whole jamaat of bohras watching this butchers video address in a darkened hall, with the sheikhs and MKD's in a sizeable number and very prominently seen. its a fleeting scene and comes just after the scene of the narmada dam...

birds of a feather...

I do not know if Omar Khalidi was active with Modi
but I do know that he is actively working on implementation of SACHAR commission report as he was part of the review committee. I have Omar Khalidi and he has a good collection of Islamic Architecture around the world,
but do talk to him. I am forwarding this story to central council of IMC. I am a member of IMC local chapter.

No non-Arab Muslim should; unless they are wannabe Arabs. CAIR in practice is CAAR The Council for American Arab Relations. They are financed by Saudi Arabia; India / Pakistan / Bangladesh do not produce significant oil. You and Anajmi are being duped much like the Orthodox Bohras into supporting Arab causes. Remember, the US keeps them in power because they do not support Muslims from non oil producing countries.

Occasionally Arabs throw a bone your way, much like the Kothar.

You are parsing words
I wrote

So what about IMC?
So what about New England Council of Masjids?
It is a umbrella Org. and Masumeen Center (Shia 12ver Mosque) in Hopkington is a member of it.

CAIR is advocasey group just like ADL.

Please brother take your prejudicial Anti Arab, Anti Wahabi, Anti Sunni Glasses away. On this subject we are not discussing religion. Subject is discrimination against all of us.

I doubt it. Neither bohras nor their religious head are supporting Modi. I think Bohras are full of fear. And with this fear for their and their children lives, they are trying to find a common ground with Modi government, so that both can survive peacefully. And for all of us it looks like they are supporting Modi.

I do agree with M. First that many Muslim communities are not coming together to fight the common enemy. But I think we are terrorized. We don’t know what, when, and how to do this.

If syedna will say something against Modi. Modi will kill more Bohras in Gujarat.

I use to pray to Allah to save Afghanistan from Taliban. Shukar Al Humdolillah Taliban is no more. I have started praying Allah to save Gujarat from the wrath and curse of Modi. If we all pray to Allah than inshallah he will show us the way towards peaceful India and he will give us an India free of extremists.

How can be make people of this world less extreme.

Qur'an says - An-Nisa 4:171

O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor say of Allâh aught but the truth. ...

Reported by an-Nasaa'ee (5/268), ibn Maajah (no. 3029), Ahmad (1/215, 347) with a saheeh sanad.

The Messenger of Allaah (SAW) said, "I warn you of extremism in the Religion for indeed those that came before you were destroyed due to their extremism in the religion."

duped much like the Orthodox Bohras into supporting Arab causes
Unless the BPO employee, Hussain, is an Arab, which I doubt, and whose cause brother Muslim First is supporting, I am not sure which moron it is that has been duped.

Morons who have been duped by their governments into supporting the murder of innocents should keep their mouths shut. But then, no one would know they are morons.

If you have nothing other than fitna to contribute to this thread, stay away and let those that are willing, do what they can.
