There is a corner of the book world that has been little known or appreciated. Before 9/11, Hindu scholarship on Islam was some of the best in a world dominated by Western dhimmi academicians.
If we choose, we can learn much from India, a country that has defied Islam’s Arab and Turkish hordes for 1,300 years and continues to fight to this day, even as she sees her borders slowly shrink and dhimmitude rests harshly like a yoke around her kafir neck.
Here are some books and articles on the history of Islamic jihad in India and cultural and political analysis based on sound scholarship and hard earned experience.
The Koran and the Kafir (Islam and the Infidel), by A. Gosh
Although this book was published 25 years ago, it remains an excellent examination of Islamic religion, culture and politics. It is a primer on Islamic doctrine in concise, easily understood language. The Islamic pattern for taking over a kafir country and its culture is outlined in unnerving detail and makes the book a valuable edition to any anti-jihad library. Here is an excerpt from one of the chapters, Islam in Action.(thanks to freerepublic.com)
The Calcutta Quran Petition by Chandmal Chopra and edited with commentary by Sita Ram Goel
The Calcutta Quran Petition was an attempt by Chandmal Chopra to have the Koran banned in India on the basis that it incites hatred and violence against the Hindus and other kafirs. Sita Ram Goel presents the Petition and adds commentaries on it and the history of Mohammed, his rise to power, and the history of Islamic jihad in India. Definitely worth a read. Book On-line
Both of these books show how the Mumbai jihad is only the most current battle in a war for India’s soul. For more information on the Hindu/Muslim problem in India, see Mohammed Allah and Hinduism and here.

A charity for LeT jihad in Pakistan will challenge a ban to close it down.
A definition of taqiyya and kitman. An excellent example.
We know what the jihadis who terrorized Mumbai think of the Jews. Here is what some Arab clerical leaders think.
How Can We Make the Dog Bark?
In a Sherlock Holmes story, Silver Blaze, the clue to the crime was that “the dog did nothing.” The dog in question was a farm dog that would have barked had a stranger approached.
In the same way we have guard dogs that are supposed to warn us of danger: our government, intellectuals and the media. But we are finding out that our dogs never bark if the intruder is Islamic violence.
In the media reporting about Mumbai the words Islam and jihad were noticeably absent. Dhimmis always use nationality and culture to refer to Islam. The Islamic invasion of Spain was by Moors, not Muslims. The Islamic invasion of the Middle East was by Arabs, not Muslims. The invasion of Eastern Europe was by Turks, not jihadists. So it was only natural for the dhimmi media to report that Pakistanis were the murderers. Dhimmis have been avoiding the words Muslim, Islam and jihad for 1400 years. Only the most neutral words may be used to describe the jihad and the jihadists. “Gunmen”, “militant,” or some other soft word can be used, but never “jihadist”.
After the reporting with “soft” words comes the next stage-blame the victims. Surely the Hindus and the others were slaughtered for good reasons. Hindu extremists must be involved. And the Muslims are poor in comparison to Hindus. So the Muslims must be being cheated in some social ill (Muslims are never responsible for any of their own suffering-at least, according to Muslims). And there is always some failure of American foreign policy. All of those things must have caused the poor “gunmen” to kill kafirs.
The next media stage is worrying about the poor Muslims who did not play an active role in the jihad. Here is a possible headline: Dirty Bomb Explodes in LA. Muslims worried about being stared at in grocery lines.
But the Muslims need not worry. Islam does not have any corporate guilt. What one Christian does affects all Christians. Every German shared the guilt for Hitler. But what a few wild and crazy Muslims do does not affect any other Muslim. Besides, the “gunmen” were not real Muslims.
The next stage is for the victims to call for dialogue and making plans to do better by ignoring the doctrine and history of Islam. There will be calls for understanding.
Chabad has called for Jews to do a mitzvah, an act of kindness, and to adhere more to their doctrine. But, notice that Chabad does not call for any action, such as learning about Islam’s doctrine and history, which would help prevent another such attack.
And of course Islamic organizations will issue statements about how sorry they are that kafirs have been hurt and how Mohammed may have murdered all the kafirs who would not submit, but the jihad is not real Islam. Oh wait, they don’t mention Mohammed’s jihad.
But our media, intellectual and government guard dogs will never bark about Islam. Newsletters like this or any of the other articles written on the web only affect the web citizens who read this type of writing. The NY Times, CNN, the State Department or the universities are not going to change because a few stupid bigots on the web are not happy with them.
How can we make the guard dog bark? We must stop waiting for a big enough catastrophe to wake up our dogs. September 11 was not enough to wake up NBC.
We must form political units that work in unison. Our nation started with conventions. Kafirs must get together in forums, groups and conventions. Before any government goes to war against political Islam, it must be pressured to do so by its citizens. Any convention must form an intellectual basis for war. That is, it must define the enemy. It is the purpose of the enemy, Islam, to annihilate our kafir civilization. Islam’s goal is to control all public speech, education, finance, laws, art, literature, entertainment, the media and customs.
After the enemy is formally defined, then we must train our dhimmi guard dogs. We must be confrontational, since a mitzvah won’t do the job.
The only organization that seems potentially to be able to host such an event would be ACT for America. Professor Paul Eidelberg has a wonderful article on how such an event might be managed.
But our guard dogs will never bark until they are trained to do so.

What is the Pakistan government’s involvement in the Mumbai jihad attacks?
What do the Pakistani Muslims say about the Mumbai jihad attacks?
Whose winning the ‘war on terror’ and why can’t the mainstream media name the enemy?
Jihad by the sword is horrific but there is another stealth jihad that rages in the USA.
“Never Again” Or “Again and Again”?
The Mumbai jihad attacks included the slaughter of Jews at the Chabad House. “Never again” could be called a Jewish mantra and some Jews have used it in response to the Mumbai jihad.
On the other hand, we have the Islamic doctrine of the Sunna of Mohammed. The average person thinks that Islam is contained in the Koran. However, the Koran is the smallest part of the Islamic doctrine and it does not contain enough information to practice even one of Islam’s Five Pillars. (When someone tries to explain Islam only on the basis of quotes from the Koran, they are ignorant about the true doctrine of Islam.) The Koran says over 70 times that all Muslims must follow the sacred example of Mohammed’s words and deeds, the Sunna. The Sunna is not found in the Koran, but it is found in the Sira (Mohammed’s biography) and the Hadith (his traditions).
The amount of information in the Sunna is amazing. Since Mohammed is the perfect example for all Muslims, the smallest detail of his life was recorded. We know how he went to the bathroom, brushed his teeth and had sex. We also know how he waged jihad.
So by the dictates of the Koran, Muslims are required to repeat the life of Mohammed over again and again. Therefore, they must know the Sunna. It is for this reason that all Muslims are Mohammedans.
Now back to the Jews and their mantra, “Never again.” Notice that this implies that you must know what has happened before if it is not to happen again. And while Jews may have catalogued and remembered wrongs from other enemies, the great majority of Jews do not have any knowledge about the Sunna of Mohammed as it applies to them. This is a great shame, because the slaughter of Jews at the Chabad House was done precisely according to the example of Mohammed.
For instance, the jihadists had to go out of their way to find the Jews. After Mohammed had attacked and destroyed all of the Jews in Medina he attacked the Jews of Khaybar. He had to go 100 miles across the desert to get to the Jewish town. He sought them out. And just as the Jews of Mumbai had never harmed a Muslim, neither had the Jews of Khaybar harmed Mohammed.
The forensic physician who looked at the bodies of the Jews said that they were tortured beyond recognition. This is Sunna. After Mohammed had attacked the Khaybar Jews, he knew that they had a buried treasure. He had the chief of the Jews staked out on the ground and built a fire on his chest to make him reveal the treasure. When the chief would not reveal the treasure by torture, Mohammed had him beheaded.
The jihad of Mumbai was done by the book. It was pure Sunna.
It was at Khaybar that Mohammed instituted the Sunna of the dhimmi. The Jews of Khaybar were the first dhimmis (people subjugated by Islam). Before this, Mohammed had killed, enslaved and exiled the Jews. But Khaybar was a farming community and the Muslims knew nothing about farming. So after Mohammed took all of the Jews’ money and land, he left them to work the land and pay him half of the value of their crops. This payment to Islam was called the jizyha tax.
Later the rules of dhimmitude included the fact that dhimmis were forbidden to study the doctrine of Islam. Dhimmis were semi-slaves and had no civil rights. This is Sharia law.
At first Mohammed used the Jews as proof of his prophet-hood. After all, the same archangel who spoke to the prophets appeared to Mohammed. The first Koran, the one written in Mecca, contains many of the Jewish stories about Adam, Noah, Abraham and others. The plots are similar, but all the Jewish stories bring one message-Allah punishes all of those who do not listen to His prophets.
But Mecca had no Jews to refute him, so the Meccan Koran is favorable to the Jews, in general. Then when Mohammed moved to Medina, he found about half the town was Jewish. They told him he was no prophet and the Koran’s attitude changed.
Before Mohammed died, every Jews in Arabia had been enslaved, murdered, assassinated, exiled or made a dhimmi. Two of his favorite slaves used for sex were Jews (the other was a Christian). Then on his deathbed he said that neither Jew nor Christian were to be left in Arabia. There are no Jews in Arabia today.
The “Again and Again” people know this history; it is Sunna. The “Never again” people don’t. Who will win? The answer is that knowledge is stronger than ignorance. Ignorance is the taproot of dhimmitude.
“Never again” has no meaning if you don’t know what happened before. There is a lesson here. He who has eyes, let him see.
Those who do not want to be dhimmis should educate themselves. The Islamic doctrine about the Jews can be found in Mohammed, Allah and the Jews by CSPI Publishing. An encyclopedic history of Islam and the Jews can be found in Andrew Bostom’s definitive book, The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism.
WAIT!! What about all those peaceful Muslims, the moderate Muslims? Only a few Muslims are killer jihadists. Remember that there are two Korans. The early Koran written in Mecca is more religious and favorable to Jews. The Koran from Medina is the one that rants and condemns the Jews and preaches the dominance of political Islam over all kafirs, non-Muslims.
These two different Korans actually contradict each other, but since both are from Allah they are both true. The Koran says that if two verses of the Koran contradict each other, then the later Koran is better.
Most Muslims follow the Meccan Koran, but since Allah said that the later Koran is better than the early Koran, they cannot condemn its practice. This explains why we don’t hear “moderate” Muslims condemn the jihadists. The Medinan Koran trumps the Meccan Koran. The jihadist is a better Muslim than a Meccan Muslim.
