The Indian Mujahedeen: Home-Grown Terror Group with Global Connections
Urban terrorism in India has become synonymous with a group calling itself Indian Mujahedeen (IM) that claimed responsibility for at least four blasts this year. Added to its attacks in Jaipur, Ahmedabad, and New Delhi, the latest target seems to be Mumbai on July 13.
Police believe that improvised explosive devices (IED) were used to trigger the blasts which coincided with the birthday of Ajmal Kasab, the lone Pakistani gunman in the 2008 Mumbai attack, an operation for which he has been sentenced to death. The latest terror attack, which claimed about 20 lives, comes only hours after two other suspected Indian Mujahedeen operatives, who provided vehicles used in the 2008 serial blasts in Gujarat that killed 56 people, were arrested in a Mumbai suburb by the Maharashtra Anti-Terror Squad (ATS).
Indian analysts believe that the IM emerged from militant elements in the Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) supported by the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Bangladesh-based Harkat-ul-Jihad-Islami (HUJI-B). SIMI and IM endorse the goals of Osama bin Laden and also seek to provoke an Islamist revolution by India’s Muslims. SIMI/IM has long-standing ties to global Islamist organizations, including LeT and Harkat-ul-Jihad-Islami (HUJI), as well as Pakistani intelligence agencies.
Some have suggested that IM does not exist at all as an independent group but is instead an effort by Pakistan’s external intelligence agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), to project an Indian face to the activities of Pakistan-based militant groups.
According to police reports, IM is a network of three groups active in different parts of the country: Gujarat, the United Province, and Mumbai. There is a twelve-member core group, according to unconfirmed, leaked Indian intelligence sources, but the only known member is Altaf Subhan Qureshi (alias Tauqeer).
Islam, the “religion of peace.” So much for that. I have never seen one religion that is willing to kill so many people in the name of their beliefs. You don’t see that with any other religion, so are they obsessed with killing anyone who doesn’t agree with them?
The Clash of Civilizations is here, gang, and it’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better. That is, assuming it ever really gets “better.” Just note that even though we have Obama in office, they guy who was supposed to be Islam’s wet dream come true in terms of an American president, is now even LESS popular in the Muslim world than George W. Bush was. Now THAT takes some doing. Or does it simply mean that no American president will satisfy the psychotic ravings of the Islamic mullahs? Probably so. They are going for the caliphate or bust and, if Iran gets nuclear weapons and tries to use them on Israel, it will be bust.
“…are they obsessed with killing anyone who doesn’t agree with them?” You are thinking of Liberals.
Islam is the result of living in ones excrement !
India, being a neighbor of Pakistan, has long been at ‘war’ with Islam, or vice versa actually. Islam has been at war with everyone else since its founding. Nothing changed except sporadically when the ‘west’ has had to fight back to survive(Vienna, the Crusades, in France with Charles Martel, even our own President Jefferson defeating the Barbary Pirates). The west goes back to sleep and Islam re-arms for another assault, sometimes with gunfire and recently with the addition of invasion by immigration and out breeding the west. There will soon be the cataclysm of a nuclear Iran, the attempted ‘final solution’ of the destruction of Israel(Jews, all of them) and then the rest of we sheeple, too caught up in our own struggle to ‘make it in this economy’ and our young people poorly educated, or should I say MISeducted, to resist or even want to resist. I, also, don’t know the answers to all the challenges we face re:Islam, but one thing is certain, if we as a society don’t start waking up soon, and I don’t mean just the few of us that are aware of what is happening, we are ‘doomed to repeat it’ as is usually the case when we ignore history. Perhaps that is one reason the ‘teachers’ of our young don’t really teach history. Perhaps they don’t because most of them are part of the problem and it is intentional but I doubt that the useful idiots of the west realize that, as so many have said before, they will be among the first to be eliminated as not necessary to the ‘New World Order’. Good luck to us all, we’ll need it(and a lot more courage than we’ve shown recently), to confront what is happening, honestly and without the lies being promulgated by our ‘leaders’ and their accomplices in the mass media.

Coeur,
The country that attacks Israel or the West with a nuke will be turned into an ash heap.
Tehran, Iran until a few decades ago was the largest city in the world without a sewer system. They are only recently capable of taking care of their feces, that is a bad omen for them.
Pakistan and India are made up of the exact same race of people with only one difference. Pakistan is a totalitarian Islamic failing state with nukes and India is a thriving multi-faceted Republic who is a becoming a major economic player on the world stage with nukes and 9 times more people.
The Arab states are generally totalitarian/autocratic Islamic failing states except for those who won the oil lottery. Without oil even these Islamic oil states are failed states in the making.
Asian Islam has generally adhered to a more secularized form of Islam and prove that Islam can support at least some economic wherewithal if it doesn’t try to govern from the autocratic mullahs down.
Eventually an Arab, or Iranian, or a Pakistani Mullah is going to do something truly stupid and then WE WILL turn that country into a pile of dust and hopefully get the attention of the rest of Islam who will hopefully crawl back into their slimy holes and stay there for a while until we lighten up and it all starts over again.
Israel will not go quietly into that good night, not with 150 targeted nukes. And I doubt they are targeted on goat or camel herds.
The U.S. has enough sub nukes to take out most of Islam if we wish.
If they start it, I feel conficent we will finish it.
The question someone else recently asked is an interesting thought “Will the people of Iran, for example, allow the mullahs to put the Iranian peoples lives on the line for Allah?”
Personally I doubt it. I guess we will see.
obama wont do anything even if attacked by nukes. and the military still hasn’t recovered since carter neutered the military and turned them into PC lackies.
Emerged from militant elements within India’s Islam?
WTF over? Was Muhammad militant? If you answered yes, then these above stated Muslims are following Muhammad.
I am willing to wager the Muslims, I mean rebels in Libya, are following Muhammad too. Watch how the MSM,and Faux News describes the warriors for the god, as rebels.
Islam is militant, and it does not matter what group of Muslims one belongs to Mr. Nasir. Are you a Muslim? Do you follow Muhammad? If not, then you are an extremest, and an Apostate.
If you do not like my freedom of speech, delete my stated opinion based on historic fact.
Trying to tie a particular terrorist act by Moslems to some particular date in history or some act by someone is simply a waste of time. They will generally find an excuse for what they are going to do anyhow. If they cannot find an excuse, they can be sure that others will find one for them.
The problem is Islam. Invented by a bandit (and I don’t mean the sweet and cute Disney type), for bandits, to give them a moral basis for robbing, enslaving, raping, and murdering. A contemptible religion for contemptible people.
Moslems who do not rob, rape, murder, etc are worthy of greater contempt as they rely on and support those who do.
I think Civilization should adopt a “scorched earth” policy against the Religion of Peace’s sociopaths. Kill them all, kill their families – exterminate the IslamoNazis from the face of the earth, and abrogate the hatred of the Koran, Sira and Hadith. Ignorant sociopaths must be dealt with like vermin and cockroaches.
It’s really funny how reports of islamic terror brings out the terrorist supporting in all areas. Until the West adopts true freedom as it’s mantra we will never be able to assume the role of avenging angel against the muslims. Simply deciding that no aid or visas goes to anybody or country that doesn’t loudly proclaim the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment would divide up the world into good and evil quickly and freedom lovers would have a foundation to oppose the islamonazis from inside. Until then, we can continue to purchase their abuse.
