Behind Islamic Terrorism in Myanmar

BEHIND ISLAMIC TERRORISM IN MYANMAR By Han Maung First Published: October 16, 2013 Revised: November 04, 2013 Preface: This report in no way advocate, advise, imply, or even suggest the use or application of violence or harm, or even thoughts or prayers of hate or harm. Islamic terrorists have been behind numerous bombings and attacks around the world with the most famous ones from a western perspective are the 9/11 attack in United States, the 7/7 attack in London, the 2004 Madrid train bombing, and the Boston Marathon bombing on April 15, 2013. There is also an on-going violence and attacks by Islamic Terrorists in the Middle East and northern Africa that for many people have become part of their daily life. Lesser known and sometimes adversely reported are the Islamic Terrorist attacks in south Asian countries and in Myanmar, in particular. By one account, well over 20,000 Islamic terrorist attacks have been committed since 9/11. Below is a partial list of Islamic terrorist attacks since September 2013 for the south Asian countries near Myanmar. Refer to http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/attacks-2013.htm Killed

Islamist terrorists are also suspected of the Jul 7, 2013 bombings at Bodh Gaya in India, the holiest of sites for Buddhists. Though Myanmar gained its independence from colonial rule in 1948, the residue of the colonial rule still persists today. It is a sad commentary of independence that many of the areas and indigenous people in the western border were ceded to India and Pakistan (now Bangladesh). Thus areas of Rakhine, Chin, Naga and other people were split up. The case is specially disheartening for Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) where an area of 13,295 square kilometers, is now part of Bangladesh, belonged in 1947 to entirely indigenous races (collectively called Jumma brethen to Rakhine and Myanmar) and mostly Buddhists without a single Bengali Muslim in residence. The Bengali Muslims have since infiltrated the area and killed, raped, burnt the villages and committed ETHNIC CLEANSING and GENOCIDE. Refer to http://www.scribd.com/doc/153095401/BANGLADESH-ELIMINATES-ITS-BUDDHISTS and http://www.angelfire.com/ab/jumma/massacre.html

Myanmar was one of the earliest countries in modern times (prior to 9/11) to suffer Islamic Terrorist attacks. In early 1942, as the Japanese were advancing 2

towards Arakan, the British formed a battalion of Muslims - called the Bengali V Force - and gave them weapons. The British knew them as more willing to fight, and better fighters then the Arakanese. As the British suddenly retreated - the Bengali Muslims quickly used the weapons - not against the Japanese -but they used them to slaughter thousands and thousands of Buddhists and burned down all of the Buddhist villages, pagodas, temples and monasteries in the Maungdaw and Buthidaung areas. About 30,000 Rakhine Buddhist were killed in this absolute genocide, hundreds of villages were burned down, and around 100,000 Rakhine Buddhists were ethnically cleansed from their ancestral lands. By late 1942 the whole Maungdaw-Buthidaung region was firmly in the hands of Bengali Muslims - who were now well armed with abandoned Japanese and British weapons. Active Islamic Terrorism and de facto ethnic cleansing continues to this day in the area. Subsequently, all communal violence was initiated by Muslim against the indigenous population. •

In Rakhine state in 2012, the riot was caused after several Muslim men raped, sodomized and murdered a young Buddhist girl.

•

Similarly, in Meikhtila 2013, the violence started after an innocent Buddhist monk who was riding behind a motorcycle through the muslim part of the town was hacked, dragged alive - INTO a MOSQUE - and tortured, brutalized, burned and executed by a bunch of muslim men; while the rest of the towns people cheered on.

•

In a recent spate of sectarian violence in Thandwe, Myanmar's western Rakhine State, the injured from muslim attacks INCLUDED CHRISTIAN AND BUDDHIST. The whole town has been panic because of widespread rumours of MUSLIMS KILLING PEOPLE FROM OTHER RELIGIONS.

•

A report on “CONFLICT & VIOLENCE IN ARAKAN (RAKHINE) STATE, MYANMAR (BURMA)” published recently by Arakan Human Rights and Development Organisation (AHRDO) provides comprehensive documentation. Refer to: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5x_WQ8boBL7VXlfY1BjWVRaNms/edit?pli=1

Muslims generally state that these attacks are committed by 1% of the radical Muslims while the 99% are moderates. Why is 1 or what ever percent of Muslims radicals? If radical Islamists make up just 1% (?) of the world Muslims why are the rest of the 99% Muslims claiming the rest of the world is intolerant of Islam yet hesitant to denounce and refuse to be manipulated by the 1%? The main answer lies in the very foundation of Islam - the Koran, Hadith and the Sharia Law, where •

There is no freedom of religion.

•

A non-Muslim is a Kafir, is never equal to a Muslim.

•

It is not illegal to kill a Kafir.

•

A Muslim can testify in court against a Kafir, but a Kafir may not testify against a Muslim.

•

A Muslim is not the friend of a Kafir. Muslims should not take Kafirs as friends in preference to other Muslims. Those who do this will have none of Allah's protection and will only have themselves as guards.

•

A non-Muslim cannot bear arms.

•

Conversion from Islam to another religion is considered to be the sin of apostasy. According to the Hadith, it is subject to the penalty of death.

•

There are no equal rights for women and women can be beaten.

•

There is no equal protection under Sharia for different classes of people. Justice is dualistic, with one set of laws for Muslim males and different laws for women and non-Muslims.

•

The constitution of a non-Muslim nation is a man-made document of ignorance, jahiliyah, that must submit to Sharia.

•

There is no democracy, since that means that a non-Muslim is equal to a Muslim.

•

There is no Golden Rule ("Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.")

•

There is no critical thought. 4

•

All governments must be ruled by Sharia law.

•

Unlike common law, Sharia is not interpretive, nor can it be changed.

Thus, there is no universal love or compassion under Islam; not even for fellow human beings, as other major religions do. In contrast, compassion is engrained in Buddhism for all living things. Jihad is a requirement under Islam. Theologically, the purpose of jihad is to increase Allah’s sovereignty in the world; that is, to subjugate the world to Islam. Islam divides the world into “dar el-salaam“ (the abode of peace) and “dar elharb“ (the abode of war). Dar el-salaam is that part of the world in which Islam rules, i.e. any area which has been subjugated to Islam. According to different Muslim theologians, this could include Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iran, and other countries. Dar el-harb is anywhere in the world which has not been subjugated to Islam WHERE MURDER AND RAPE OF THE NON-MUSLIMS RANKS AS GOOD; LYING, CHEATING AND DISHONESTY ARE CONSIDERED NECESSARY EVILS AND HENCE, FORM PART OF THE MUSLIM MORALITY. A true Muslim anywhere has to accept such laws and the requirement for jihad because they are Quranicaly based. Thus, in a debate the 1% of the radical Muslims will always win and the 99% “moderate” Muslims must accept, if not actively support the radicals. There is no ideological difference between the views of a radical and moderate Muslim - the eventual goal is the subjugation of the world to Islam. The only difference is that while the radicals will act out on there beliefs and commit acts of terrorism, the moderates are hesitant or will not act because intuitively they know it is wrong. However, it is often not too difficult to turn a moderate Muslim to a radical one simply by indoctrination and coercion. Most “moderate” Muslims are of the view that Islamic terrorists are soldiers of Islam necessary for subjugation of the world to Islam. Is Islam a religion of peace and tolerance?

Islam is a religion that pretends to be peaceful when Muslims are too weak to win a war. When Islam is dominant, Muslims are commanded to subjugate or kill everyone around them. For dedicated Muslims, there are only two possible situations to be in: (1) fighting unbelievers, and (2) pretending to be peaceful while preparing to fight unbelievers. Either way, conquering the world in the name of Allah is always the goal. Therefore, the peace and stability of any non Muslim people or country/city in contact with Muslims are at risk from as far as New York, London, Moscow, Beijing to as near as Yangon. When we turn to Islam’s theological sources and historical writings (Qur’an, Hadith, Sira, and Tafsir), we find that there are three stages in the call to Jihad, depending on the status of Muslims in a society. Refer to https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwroQHEibOXlUTU1TDd4RjhzdDQ/edit?usp=sharing&pli=1

STAGE ONE—(In countries such as United States of America) When Muslims are completely outnumbered and can’t possibly win a physical confrontation with unbelievers, they are to live in peace with non-Muslims and preach a message of tolerance and use victim status. As the Muslims are allowed to lie to infidels (non Muslims) about anything, especially about Islam. There are two doctrines taught in the Koran which promote lying. One is called al taqiyya (to lie to protect one's self from persecution, emotional harm or physical harm, real or perceived) and kitman (to spread misinformation - especially to benefit Islam and to aid its spread). Muslims are not allowed to be friends with non-Muslims. However, if Muslims feel threatened by a stronger adversary, they are allowed to pretend to be friendly. Ibn Kathir comments: “In this case, such believers are allowed to show friendship outwardly but never inwardly.” Abu Darda, one of Muhammad’s companions, put it this way: “We smile in the face of some people although our hearts curse them.” STAGE TWO—(In countries such as Myanmar, Thailand and Sri Lanka) When there are enough Muslims and resources to defend the Islamic community, Muslims are called to engage in defensive Jihad and the tactic used are 6

portraying Muslims as victims, forging alliances (with future enemies as necessary) and terrorism. In defensive Jihad, any critical expression that portrays Islam in negative light must be suppressed by all means necessary. “Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize Islam” Koran 5:33. As in the case of Myanmar, playing the victim card and forging alliance with human rights organizations, religious leaders and Nobel laureates; even as their own human rights records are appalling and the intolerant pleading for tolerance. A link is provided to one of the many reports from Bangladesh that revealed the world wide conspiracy to establish a Sharia state within the eastern province in Bangladesh and the entire Rakhine state in Myanmar. http://www.scribd.com/doc/105559747/Islamists-Want-Sharia-State-Inside-Bangladesh

STAGE THREE—(In the Middle East and countries such Malaysia, Indonesia and Bangladesh, and in Maungdaw and Buthidaung areas of Myanmar) When Muslims establish a majority and achieve political power in an area, they are commanded to engage in offensive Jihad. •

“When opportunity arises, kill the infidels (non believers of Islam) wherever you catch them.” Koran 9:5

•

In Surah 9:29, we read: "Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth, from among the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued."

•

Referring to Hadith, Ishaq:324 says; “Fight them so that there is no more rebellion, and religion, all of it, is for Allah only. Allah must not have rivals.”

•

And Ishaq:587 says; “Our onslaught will not be a weak faltering affair. We shall fight as long as we live. We will fight until you turn to Islam, humbly seeking refuge. We will fight not caring whom we meet. We will fight whether we destroy ancient holdings or newly gotten gains. We have mutilated every opponent. We have driven them violently before us at the command of Allah

7

and Islam. We will fight until our religion is established. And we will plunder them, for they must suffer disgrace.” Conclusions: As in other non-Muslim countries, Muslims are engaged in jihad in Myanmar to establish a Sharia state. The purpose of jihad is to increase Allah’s sovereignty in the world; that is, to subjugate the world to Islam by infiltration, deception and terror. The order to fight till the non-Muslims worship Allah has not changed. Muslims will not abandon their quest for domination until they succeed or they are defeated. They have no choice in this. They are programmed through indoctrination in madrassas and worship halls to spread Islam through deception or war. Muslims practicing deceptions as taught in Koran are called TAQIYYA and KITMAN. Taqiyya is employed in disguising one’s beliefs, intentions, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions or strategies. One cannot take a Muslim on his oath, because Muslims can break any agreement with anyone at any time they choose to do so just based on one's perception of what is "better" for Islam. Kitman is to spread misinformation - especially to benefit Islam and to aid its spread. IF MUSLIMS TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT THEIR HOSTILE INTENTION, THEY WILL BE KICKED OUT FROM THE COUNTRIES THAT THEY INTEND TO OVERTAKE. Non-muslims seeking dialogue and inter-faith activities with Muslims should be aware of taqiyya and its modes. Since all Muslims anywhere must engage in jihad THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS MODERATE ISLAM. Making non-Muslims think that there is a moderate Islam is the ultimate taqiyah. Taqiyah is what Muslims do to keep non-Muslims in the sedated state. Non-Muslims are not even aware that they are under attack. Falling into this trap is deadly. It may cost your liberty and your life. Finally, this report was prepared so that it might provide answers to some basic questions of Islamic Terrorism in general and its implication to Myanmar in 8

particular. It is becoming more important for all non Muslims to study the ideology behind the Islamic Terrorism in a serious manner, if we are to deal with it effectively. The information on the ideology must be distributed to all non Muslims and specifically to the people of Myanmar. Though no solutions are provided in this report, it is hoped that this knowledge will help formulate policies and agreements that would counter Islamic Terrorism.
