Last August, the interim govt lifted ban on Jamaat-e-Islami. It has rebranded itself as 'moderate & democratic', and is advocating for peaceful transition to an Islamic welfare state.  

Date: 31/01/2025 Join Raza Ahmed and Danayal Zia for Friday's show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Politics and Provocation' and ‘Religion is an addiction?' Politics and Provocation Figures like Elon Musk and Andrew Tate, though not primarily political, often spread misinformation and promote troubling narratives. It's crucial to critically evaluate the platforms they are afforded and uphold truth and integrity in public discourse. Religion is an addiction? Is religion a path to spiritual fulfillment or merely an emotional crutch? This thought-provoking discussion delves into the psychological, social, and spiritual aspects of religious practice, questioning whether it can be misused as an addiction or a coping mechanism. Join us as we explore how true faith brings balance and purpose to life, rather than dependency or escapism. Guests: Imam Zafar Rasheed - Missionary in Spain Damir Musa Rafi - a doctor in the field of psychiatry, and an editor of UK tabligh platform Rational Religion. He has contributed to both Jamaat outlets and national media platforms on topics including Islam, politics and contemporary issues. Producers: Faiza Raihan and Aisha Malik

rWotD Episode 2737: Derbent Jamaat Welcome to Random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia’s vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Thursday, 31 October 2024 is Derbent Jamaat.Derbent Jamaat (Russian: Дербентский джамаат), also known as the Forest Brothers (Russian: Лесные братья, Azerbaijani: Meşə qardaşları), and the Southern Group (Russian: Группировка «Южная»), was an Islamist Jihadist group based in the Russian republic of Dagestan, part of the Shariat Jamaat of the Caucasus Emirate. The group had engaged in attacks on law enforcement officers, organized terrorist attacks, distributed Wahhabi literature, and undertook propaganda and agitation activities in Dagestan and the neighboring country of Azerbaijan.The group was created and headed by Rappani Khalilov until his death in September 2007. He was succeeded by emir Abdul Madzhid. Participant of the Chechen Wars, Madzhid was killed in September 2008 and was replaced by Israpil Velijanov. After the death of Velijanov in April 2011, the Derbent Jamaat became disoriented, though it remained active until its remaining members were killed in November 2016.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:03 UTC on Thursday, 31 October 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Derbent Jamaat on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Ivy.

The Dr B S Harishankar Memorial Lecture, Bharatiya Vichara Kendram, Trivandrum, 27th August 2024.A Malayalam version of this has been published by Janmabhumi newspaper at https://janmabhumi.in/2024/09/01/3258051/varadyam/geo-political-implications-for-bangladesh/It was startling to hear from retired Ambassador G Sankar Iyer on Asianet's program with Ambassador TP Sreenivasan that the celebrated Malayalam author Vaikom Mohammed Basheer (once nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature) said in 1973: “In Bangladesh, we have created yet another enemy.” With his novelist's insight, Basheer understood that the Two-Nation Theory held sway among certain sections of Bengalis.In the current crisis situation in 2024, the ongoing pogrom against Hindus (amounting to a virtual genocide) and the forced resignation of teachers, police officers and other officials based only on the fact that they are Hindus (there are videos that show them being beaten and humiliated even after resigning) suggests that anti-Hindu feeling is running rampant in Bangladesh. It is another kristallnacht.This is coupled with anti-India feeling. For instance, the current floods in Bangladesh are being blamed on India opening a dam in Tripura after torrential rains, although the Indian government has said that it provided all the hydrological data that it always has. The fact of the matter is that the departure of Sheikh Hasina is a blow to India's geo-political ambitions. It now appears as though India erred in “putting all its eggs into one basket” by cultivating only her Awami League, and not the Bangladesh National Party of her arch-rival Khaleda Zia. The indubitable fact that Indian influence in Bangladesh has now been supplanted by forces inimical to India raises the question of who might be behind the regime change operation. Beyond that, there is the question of whether it was indeed a popular uprising based on the suppressed ambitions of the people that led to the ouster of Sheikh Hasina.The third question is what this means for Bangladesh, India and the region going forward, especially as climate change may alter the very geography of the area. It is predicted that as much as 11% of the land area of Bangladesh could be underwater by 2050. This could displace 18 million people, which would lead to unprecedented migration of their population into India. Regime Change operation: Who benefits from it?Cui bono? Who benefits? That Latin phrase is used to consider who might be motivated to commit a crime (the other part is who has the means to commit it). In this case of regime change in Bangladesh, there are several entities who might benefit. Obviously Pakistan. That country has never lived down its balkanization in 1971, and it had a number of its sympathizers already in place at that time. There were many who collaborated with the Pakistani Army in identifying Hindus and facilitating their killing or rape or ethnic cleansing, and also Muslims who were their political opponents. These are the people Sheikh Hasina referred to as “razakars”, and they are essentially in control now. China is a clear winner whenever something happens that hurts India's interests. There is the perennial issue of the Chicken's Neck, that narrow strip of land that connects the Seven Sister states of India's Northeast to the Gangetic Plain. It is a permanent threat to India that somebody (most probably China) will cut this off and truncate India, with the Northeast then becoming part of a Greater Bangladesh, with associated genocide of Hindus and Buddhists. Former Ambassador Veena Sikri spoke to Ambassador TP Sreenivasan about something very odd indeed: Sheikh Hasina made a state visit to China in mid July, and she was thoroughly humiliated there. Xi Jingping refused to meet her; and she cut her visit short by one day and returned to Dhaka. This is an unheard-of protocol violation for a State Visit; what it suggests is that China had decided that Sheikh Hasina was on the way out. This is in sharp contrast to a Xi visit in 2016 when he made grand promises about Belt and Road Initiative investments. The United States also has interests. Sheikh Hasina had alleged two things: * An unnamed Western power wants St Martin's Island (aka Coconut Island) off Cox's Bazaar as a military base to keep an eye on both China and India, * An unnamed Western power intends to form a new Christian Zo nation (for Mizo, Kuki, Chin) just like Christian homelands were carved out in East Timor and South Sudan.The implication was that the unspecified Western power was the US. It is not entirely clear that the US benefits greatly from a military base in the Bay of Bengal but there has been a long-running Great Game initiated by the British to keep India down as a supplier of raw materials and a market for their products. The US may have inherited this mantle.Intriguingly, the US Deep State and its proxies in the Western media had built a narrative around Sheikh Hasina as a model leader for developing Asia, a woman who also succeeded in improving the economic status of her country. That Bangladesh's per capita GDP had overtaken India's, and that its garment industry was doing well were used to mock India's own economic achievements. The switch to Hasina being a ‘dictator' was a sudden change in narrative.There is, therefore, enough circumstantial evidence to suggest that there was a foreign hand in the happenings in Bangladesh, although we will have to wait for conclusive evidence. Was this indeed a regime-change coup or a true popular uprising?It is true that Bangladesh under Sheikh Hasina's fifteen-year rule was not a perfect democracy. But there are mitigating factors, including a violent streak that led to the assassination of her father and independence hero Sheikh Mujibur Rahman just four years after the bloody birth of the new State after the Pakistan Army's assault on its Bengali citizens. The toppling and desecration of his statue shows that his national hero status may not be accepted by the entire population: in fact it looks like friends of Pakistan wish to erase his entire legacy. The history of democracy in independent Bangladesh is checkered and marred by violence. Before he was deposed and killed in 1975, Mujibur Rehman himself had banned all opposition parties. After Mujib, there was outright military rule till 1986, when the erstwhile Chief Martial Law Administrator Hussain Mohammed Ershad became the elected President. When Ershad was deposed after (student-led) agitations in 1991, Khaleda Zia (BNP or Bangladesh National Party) became the PM and after that she and her arch-rival Sheikh Hasina (Awami League) alternated in power. The BNP boycotted the 2018 elections partly because Khaleda Zia was jailed on allegations of corruption. In all of these twists and turns, ‘students' were involved. In 1971, when Yahya Khan launched Operation Searchlight, the Pakistani army went straight for students and professors in Dhaka University, especially if they were Hindus. Later too, ‘student' protests were instrumental in the overthrow of Ershad. The proximate cause of the troubles in 2024 was also a ‘student' uprising. There had been a 30% quota in government jobs for the children of freedom fighters; along with other such set-asides e.g. for minorities and women, a total of 56% of government jobs were ‘reserved' by 2018. This reservation system was largely abolished by Sheikh Hasina's government in 2018 after yet another student agitation. In June 2024, a High Court in Bangladesh overturned the 2018 judgment as unconstitutional. Even though the Supreme Court reversed it, and restored the status quo ante (of drastically reduced reservations to 7% in total), the peaceful ‘student' agitation suddenly morphed into a violent confrontation led by members of the Jamaat e Islami (an Islamist party) and the BNP. There was police firing. The Daily Star, a respected daily, found out that 204 people were killed in the first few days, out of which only 53 were students. It appears the supposed ‘student revolution' was taken over by professional agitators and agents provocateurs, and it rapidly led to the overthrow of Sheikh Hasina, with escalating violence, especially against Hindus, and the Army getting involved. Even though the Army is in charge now, there is a smokescreen of an ‘interim government' that allows entities like the UN an excuse to not impose sanctions on Bangladesh. It is hard to take it on face value that this was a popular uprising; circumstantial evidence suggests that there was a clear agenda for regime change, and since it suits both China and the US to keep India constrained, either of them could have been behind it. The diplomatic snub to Hasina in July suggests the Chinese were well aware of the coming coup. On the other hand, the sudden U-turn in the narrative about Hasina in the Western media suggests that the US might have decided to dump her. The process by which the regime change happened is also similar to what happened in other countries that experienced ‘color revolutions'. The actions of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), and of some diplomats in supporting the BNP, have been offered as possible evidence of US bad faith.What is obvious is the role of the fundamentalist group, the Jamaat e Islami, which has strong connections with Pakistan. It seems likely that they were the enforcers, and had invested assets within the armed forces. They have called for the secular Bangladesh constitution to be replaced by Islamic Sharia law, and for non-Muslims to be treated as second-class citizens. The Yunus government has just unbanned the Jamaat e Islami.The attacks on Hindus, including large numbers of lynchings, rapes, and abductions of women, suggests that there is a religious angle and the Jamaat e Islami's prejudices are coming to the fore. Notably, the entire Western media, Amnesty International, the United Nations, and the USCIRF, human rights specialists all, had nothing at all to say about the horrific oppression of Hindus. The New York Times even had a headline about “revenge killings” of Hindus, as though somehow the 8% minority Hindus had been responsible for whatever Sheikh Hasina was accused of. Upon being called out, the NYT changed the headline to just  “killings” of Hindus with no explanation or apology.The role of Professor Mohammed Yunus is also intriguing: he had been invited to head an interim government in 2007 but abandoned the attempt and in fact left politics. He had been close to Sheikh Hasina at one point, for instance he got the licenses for his Grameen Phone during her rule, but they later fell out. Yunus' Nobel Peace Prize and his earlier stint in the US have raised questions about whether he is in fact managed by US interests.Given all this, it is much more likely that it was a coup than a popular agitation. It remains to be seen who was behind the coup. What next for India and the region?There are several long-term challenges for India. None of this is positive for India, which is already facing problems on its periphery (eg. Maldives and Nepal). The coup in Bangladesh also makes the BIMSTEC alliance as unviable as SAARC.1. Deteriorating India-Bangladesh RelationsThe overthrow of Sheikh Hasina, seen as a close ally of India, has led to a rise in anti-Indian sentiment in Bangladesh. The new government may not be as friendly towards India, especially on sensitive issues like trade and security. This could jeopardize the gains in bilateral ties over the past decade. The presence of hardliners among the ‘advisers' to the interim government suggests that India will have little leverage going forward.2. Increased Border Security RisksIndia shares a long, porous border with Bangladesh. The political instability and potential increase in extremist groups could lead to more infiltration, smuggling, and illegal migration into India's northeastern states, posing internal security risks. Monitoring the border region will be critical. As it is, there are millions of illegal Bangladeshis and Rohingya residing in India, which actually poses a threat to internal Indian security.3. Economic FalloutBangladesh is India's largest trading partner in the region, with $13 billion in commerce under the Hasina government. A deterioration in relations could hurt Indian exports and investments. The economic interdependence means India also has a stake in Bangladesh's stability and prosperity. Brahma Chellaney pointed out that Bangladesh is in dire straits, and has requested $3 billion from the IMF, $1.5 billion from the World Bank, and $1 billion each from the Asian Development Bank and the Japan International Cooperation Agency to tide over problems. 4. Climate Change ChallengesBoth countries are vulnerable to the effects of climate change, including rising sea levels, floods, droughts and extreme weather events. Bangladesh is especially at risk due to its low-lying geography. Millions of climate refugees could seek shelter in India, straining resources and social cohesion.  5. Geopolitical ImplicationsThe regime change has opened up space for China to expand its influence in Bangladesh. India will need to balance its ties with the new government while countering Chinese inroads in the region. The U.S. is also closely watching developments in Bangladesh. Instability in the region plays into the hands of Pakistan, whose medium-term ambition would be to detach India's Northeast as revenge for the creation of Bangladesh and for increasing normalization in J&K.6. Quota ImplicationsIndians, especially those agitating for ‘proportional representation' should note that the Bangladesh quota system was abolished in its entirety by Sheikh Hasina's administration in 2018 in response to student demands. India has a constitutional limit of 50% for reservations, but some are agitating for even more, which is a sure recipe for resentment and possibly violence. It is not inconceivable that it could be the spur for regime change in India as well.7. Human rights for Hindus and Buddhists; Citizenship Amendment Act and the Right to ReturnThe Hindu population in Bangladesh has fallen dramatically from about 28% in 1971 to about 8% now, and there is every indication that this is a demographic under extreme duress. Buddhist Chakmas in the Chittagong Hill Tracts are also under stress. India should enhance the CAA or create a formal Right to Return for Hindu and Buddhist Bangladeshis. Writing in Open magazine, Rahul Shivshankar pointed out that Hindus had faced attacks and threats in 278 locations across 48 districts.In summary, the fall of the Hasina government and the long-term threat of climate change compel India to rethink its Bangladesh policy. Fostering stable, democratic and economically prosperous neighbors is in India's own interest. Rebuilding trust and deepening cooperation on shared challenges will be key to navigating the new realities in the region.2350 words, Aug 26, 2024 Get full access to Shadow Warrior at rajeevsrinivasan.substack.com/subscribe

Bangladesh is in the midst of tumultuous change. After former prime minister Sheikh Hasina fled the country, Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus took charge as ‘Chief Adviser' to an interim government. Meanwhile, with Hasina out, the future of the Awami League looks uncertain. The Opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) is back in the reckoning, and so is the Jamaat-e-Islami. What do the people of Bangladesh expect from the interim government? Will there be changes to the Constitution in the near future? Did Indian foreign policy miss a trick or two in anticipating and/or responding to these changes in its neighbourhood? What is the situation with regard to the safety of minorities?

Au Bangladesh, avec la chute de l'ancienne Première ministre, un voile se lève sur 15 années de pouvoir autoritaire. Alors que des opposants et des manifestants sont sortis désormais libérés, d'autres prisonniers politiques sont sortis des geôles secrètes de Sheikh Hasina. Un centre de détention aux méthodes particulièrement répressives. Notre envoyé spécial à Dacca a pu rencontrer un avocat, tout juste sorti de huit années d'incarcération. Avec notre correspondant, de retour de DaccaLe regard marqué par la peur, la démarche incertaine, Ahmad Bin Quasem tient la main de sa mère, comme incrédule de se trouver libre, dans cet appartement de Dacca. Cet homme était l'avocat et le fils d'une figure du Jamaat-e-islami, le principal parti islamique du Bangladesh. Comme toute organisation religieuse, elle est interdite de se présenter aux élections depuis 2013. Mais le 9 août 2016, Ahmad voit ses ennuis avec le régime de Sheikh Hasina prendre une tournure dramatique.« Un groupe d'hommes habillés en civil m'ont attrapé devant ma femme, ma sœur et mes enfants... En tant qu'avocat, la première chose que j'ai demandée, c'est : "Pourquoi est-ce que vous m'emmenez ? Est-ce que vous avez un mandat d'arrêt à mon nom ?" Ils m'ont dit : "On n'en a pas besoin". »Une procédure hors de tout cadre légal. Selon Human Rights Watch, près de 600 personnes ont été victimes de disparition forcée durant les mandats de Sheikh Hasina.« Une fois qu'ils m'ont mis dans la voiture, ils m'ont bandé les yeux et c'était le début de huit douloureuses années d'obscurité. J'étais détenu dans un lieu sans fenêtre, ils ne m'ont pas dit où ils m'ont emmené, quel jour il était, je ne pouvais même pas connaître l'heure ! Je n'avais aucune idée s'il faisait jour ou nuit, j'avais les yeux bandés et j'étais menotté 24 heures sur 24. Je ne pouvais voir aucun visage et parler à personne... Le centre dans lequel j'ai été amené a été spécifiquement conçu pour soumettre le détenu a une expérience pire que la mort. »Le nom de cette geôle secrète : Anyaghar ou la « Maison des miroirs », car les détenus ne peuvent y voir personne d'autres qu'eux-mêmes. Une prison gérée par les services de renseignement qui, même au moment de relâcher les prisonniers après la chute de Sheikh Hasina, ont pris soin de préserver la culture du secret.« J'étais en train de faire mes prières du soir, et ils m'ont emmené dans un véhicule. Je me suis préparé au pire. Ils ont conduit une heure, m'ont fait sortir, assoir par terre. Le commandant m'a attrapé par l'arrière du crâne, et m'a dit : "Dis-nous : est-ce que tu sais qui on est ?" J'ai dit non. Il m'a dit : "Est-ce que tu sais où tu as passé les huit dernières années ?" J'ai dit non. Il m'a dit : "Parfait, c'est exactement ce que tu diras aux gens." »Il estime que la mobilisation de sa famille a joué un rôle clé dans sa libération. « Je suis tellement fier de ma famille, elle n'a jamais abandonné. Ma femme, ma mère, mes enfants ont continué de se battre.

Au Bangladesh, avec la chute de l'ancienne Première ministre, un voile se lève sur 15 années de pouvoir autoritaire. Alors que des opposants et des manifestants sont sortis désormais libérés, d'autres prisonniers politiques sont sortis des geôles secrètes de Sheikh Hasina. Un centre de détention aux méthodes particulièrement répressives. Notre envoyé spécial à Dacca a pu rencontrer un avocat, tout juste sorti de huit années d'incarcération. Avec notre correspondant, de retour de DaccaLe regard marqué par la peur, la démarche incertaine, Ahmad Bin Quasem tient la main de sa mère, comme incrédule de se trouver libre, dans cet appartement de Dacca. Cet homme était l'avocat et le fils d'une figure du Jamaat-e-islami, le principal parti islamique du Bangladesh. Comme toute organisation religieuse, elle est interdite de se présenter aux élections depuis 2013. Mais le 9 août 2016, Ahmad voit ses ennuis avec le régime de Sheikh Hasina prendre une tournure dramatique.« Un groupe d'hommes habillés en civil m'ont attrapé devant ma femme, ma sœur et mes enfants... En tant qu'avocat, la première chose que j'ai demandée, c'est : "Pourquoi est-ce que vous m'emmenez ? Est-ce que vous avez un mandat d'arrêt à mon nom ?" Ils m'ont dit : "On n'en a pas besoin". »Une procédure hors de tout cadre légal. Selon Human Rights Watch, près de 600 personnes ont été victimes de disparition forcée durant les mandats de Sheikh Hasina.« Une fois qu'ils m'ont mis dans la voiture, ils m'ont bandé les yeux et c'était le début de huit douloureuses années d'obscurité. J'étais détenu dans un lieu sans fenêtre, ils ne m'ont pas dit où ils m'ont emmené, quel jour il était, je ne pouvais même pas connaître l'heure ! Je n'avais aucune idée s'il faisait jour ou nuit, j'avais les yeux bandés et j'étais menotté 24 heures sur 24. Je ne pouvais voir aucun visage et parler à personne... Le centre dans lequel j'ai été amené a été spécifiquement conçu pour soumettre le détenu a une expérience pire que la mort. »Le nom de cette geôle secrète : Anyaghar ou la « Maison des miroirs », car les détenus ne peuvent y voir personne d'autres qu'eux-mêmes. Une prison gérée par les services de renseignement qui, même au moment de relâcher les prisonniers après la chute de Sheikh Hasina, ont pris soin de préserver la culture du secret.« J'étais en train de faire mes prières du soir, et ils m'ont emmené dans un véhicule. Je me suis préparé au pire. Ils ont conduit une heure, m'ont fait sortir, assoir par terre. Le commandant m'a attrapé par l'arrière du crâne, et m'a dit : "Dis-nous : est-ce que tu sais qui on est ?" J'ai dit non. Il m'a dit : "Est-ce que tu sais où tu as passé les huit dernières années ?" J'ai dit non. Il m'a dit : "Parfait, c'est exactement ce que tu diras aux gens." »Il estime que la mobilisation de sa famille a joué un rôle clé dans sa libération. « Je suis tellement fier de ma famille, elle n'a jamais abandonné. Ma femme, ma mère, mes enfants ont continué de se battre. Pendant huit ans, elles ont fait exister mon combat. »Alors que ses filles jouent dans la cuisine en attendant leur père, d'autres Bangladais ne connaissent pas la joie des retrouvailles. Plus de cent personnes manquent encore à l'appel et des familles manifestent encore devant les locaux des services de renseignement.

Words Of Wisdom - Blessings of Nizame Jamaat by Voice of Islam

Arsalan Khan is Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Arsalan Khan comes on The Pakistan Experience to discuss his book on the Tablighi Jamaat of PAkistan, "The Promise of Piety". On this week's episode we discuss Colonialism, Religion, The Tablighi Jamaat, Maulana Tariq Jameel, TLP, Taliban, Revivalist Movements and the importance of rituals. In The Promise of Piety, Arsalan Khan examines the zealous commitment to a distinct form of face-to-face preaching (dawat) among Pakistani Tablighis, practitioners of the transnational Islamic piety movement the Tablighi Jamaat. This group says that Muslims have abandoned their religious duties for worldly pursuits, creating a state of moral chaos apparent in the breakdown of relationships in the family, nation, and global Islamic community. Tablighis insist that this dire situation can only be remedied by drawing Muslims back to Islam through dawat, which they regard as the sacred means for spreading Islamic virtue. In a country founded in the name of Muslim identity and where Islam is ubiquitous in public life, the Tablighi claim that Pakistani Muslims have abandoned Islam is particularly striking. The Promise of Piety shows how Tablighis constitute a distinct form of pious relationality in the ritual processes and everyday practices of dawat and how pious relationality serves as a basis for transforming domestic and public life. Khan explores both the promise and limits of the Tablighi project of creating an Islamic moral order that can transcend the political fragmentation and violence of life in postcolonial Pakistan.

'Who authorised JIH to talk to RSS on contentious issues like Kashi and Mathura' is the question raised by fellow Muslim organisations in Kerala.

In 2020 March, when the sudden lockdown was imposed, one thing that was on every TV channel was the Tablighi Jamaat. No one knew about Tablighi Jamaat and that they were holding a meeting in Nizamuddin till then. But overnight the vilification, the name-calling, and the targeting of Muslims across the country as super spreaders was taken over by TV debates. Instead of spreading awareness, the media chose to stigmatise a section of the population. It hampered community outreach and communicating effectively. For this episode, Suno India's editor-in-chief DVL Padma Priya spoke to Ashima Mandla, an advocate with the Delhi high court to understand the issue better and the role of language in health communication. This series has been made possible by a grant from the Thakur Family Foundation.See sunoindia.in/privacy-policy for privacy information.

Armed with automatic weapons and hand grenades, the terrorists targeted civilians at numerous sites in the southern part of Mumbai, including the Chhatrapati Shivaji railway station, the popular Leopold Café, two hospitals, and a theatre. While most of the attacks ended within a few hours after they began at around 9:30 PM on November 26, the terror continued to unfold at three locations where hostages were taken—the Nariman House, where a Jewish outreach centre was located, and the luxury hotels Oberoi Trident and Taj Mahal Palace & Tower. By the time the standoff ended at the Nariman House on the evening of November 28, six hostages as well as two gunmen had been killed. At the two hotels, dozens of guests and staff were either trapped by gunfire or held hostage. Indian security forces ended the siege at the Oberoi Trident around midday on November 28 and at the Taj Mahal Palace on the morning of the following day. In all, at least 174 people, including 20 security force personnel and 26 foreign nationals, were killed. More than 300 people were injured. Nine of the 10 terrorists were killed, and one was arrested. The attackers Amid speculation regarding the identity of the terrorists, an unknown group calling itself Mujahideen Hyderabad Deccan claimed responsibility for the attacks in an e-mail; however, the e-mail was later traced to a computer in Pakistan, and it became obvious that no such group existed. The way the terrorists had reportedly singled out Western foreigners at both of the luxury hotels and at the Nariman House led some to believe that the Islamic militant group al-Qaeda was possibly involved, but this appeared not to be the case after the lone arrested terrorist, Ajmal Amir Kasab, provided substantial information regarding the planning and execution of the attacks. Kasab, a native of Pakistan's Punjab province, told investigators that the 10 terrorists underwent prolonged guerrilla-warfare training in the camps of Lashkar-e-Taiba. He further revealed that the team of terrorists had spent time at the headquarters of a second and related organization, Jamaat-ud-Dawa, in the city of Muridke before traveling from Punjab to the port city of Karachi and setting out for Mumbai by sea. After first traveling aboard a Pakistani-flagged cargo ship, the gunmen hijacked an Indian fishing boat and killed its crew; then, once they were near the Mumbai coast, they used inflatable dinghies to reach Badhwar Park and the Sassoon Docks, near the city's Gateway of India monument. At that point the terrorist

Die Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat bezeichnet sich selbst als größte muslimische Organisation der Welt, wenngleich sie in keinem muslimischen Land eine Mehrheit stellt und in vielen brutal verfolgt wird. Auch in Deutschland hat sie nach eigenen Angaben nur rund 50.000 Mitglieder – und ist dennoch als erste muslimische Körperschaft seit 2013 den Kirchen gleichgestellt. Die Ahmadiyya hat den Anspruch, einen wertkonservativen und zugleich liberalen Islam zu vertreten – ohne ausländische Einflussnahme. Die Imame werden in Deutschland ausgebildet, gepredigt wird auf Deutsch. Ein Modell für die Zukunft?

Malik Faisal Akram was a British citizen with violent tendencies and had started following the KSA-banned organization Tablighi Jamaat. It is strange that the US was not aware of his antecedents and how easy it was for him to purchase a hand gun in Texas, says Sree Iyer. It is high time that India ban Tablighi Jamaat, says Sree Iyer. #Islamophobia #TexasGunman #Synagogue #Tablighi #TablighJamaat

Protests by nationalist parties never received this kind of support. The Jamaat's patronising of the Baloch is a game changer. ----more---- https://theprint.in/opinion/imran-khan-is-embarrassed-gwadar-protest-isnt-just-for-baloch-rights-but-politics-too/780584/

While excellent newsletters on specific themes within public policy already exist, this thought letter is about frameworks, mental models, and key ideas that will hopefully help you think about any public policy problem in imaginative ways.Audio narration by Ad-Auris.  - RSJBy now many of you must have seen the pictures from the Kumbh at Haridwar. Till last evening, almost 3 million devotees had congregated at the Har ki Pauri for the shahi snaan (how long before we change the word ‘shahi’ there?). A lot has been made about the Covid protocols that were put in place for the Kumbh. It is safe to say it is almost impossible to maintain those protocols for such a crowd. Like always this has drawn predictable responses. The ‘liberals’ have compared the way media and many from the current dispensation demonised a markaz that was organised by the Tablighi Jamaat last March and how differently they are covering the Kumbh today. A lot of commentary in the early days of the pandemic last year was about the irresponsible members of the Jamaat who congregated at the time of a pandemic and then blamed them for the spread of the virus in the country. The ‘liberals’ contrast that with the cautious, almost benign, coverage of the Kumbh that has millions risking their lives in a likely ‘superspreader’ event. The defenders of the Kumbh (right-wing, conservatives or any other label you might apply to them) have their arguments ready. The parallels with the Jamaat event are false. This is a planned event with the administration taking all precautions. Also, the devotees are out in the open which is safer than the enclosed markaz event. I will leave you to see the pictures and draw your own conclusions. Also, there’s the classic conservative defence that’s put up. This is a matter of an individual and their faith. Nobody is coercing them to go to the Kumbh. Our traditions and our culture are our inheritance. These are important for our well-being and they keep us going as a society. As Burke would have put it, some illusions and prejudices are socially necessary. I’m not interested in the arguments of either side. These are mostly transient and change depending on the context. For instance, I’m almost certain there will be instances of Covid violations during the month of Ramzan which is upon us and during Eid. Then these arguments will flip. And yada yada yada. What Explains Irrational Behaviour?The question that interests me is what is the underlying impulse that prompts devotees, adherents of a cult or fanatics of any kind to put the interests or customs of that group over their personal safety and evolutionary instinct for survival? Why do we do stupid things in groups? For a moment leave aside the the sagacity of the government that allows for an event like Kumbh during a pandemic. Ask why have over three million people supposedly taken leave of their senses and gone there? And that brings me to a topic that sets off evolutionary biologists, sociologists and philosophers on the warpath. The question of Group Selection or what’s has been updated to be called Multilevel Selection Theory. The overwhelming consensus till the 90s was that natural selection acts on genes. Each gene, or ‘selfish gene’ as Richard Dawkins would put it, tries to perpetuate itself. An individual is the result of the selection of many such selfish genes. Natural selection, therefore, acts in the domain of an individual. Nature selects those genes that are adaptable and individuals with those genes carry them forward for future generations. Others fall by the wayside.But there was always a separate strand of thinking that stayed in the shadows of evolutionary biology - Group Selection. Darwin himself had hinted at it in The Descent Of Man: “Now, if some one man in a tribe, more sagacious than the others, invented a new snare or weapon, or other means of attack or defence, the plainest self-interest, without the assistance of much reasoning power, would prompt the other members to imitate him; and all would thus profit. The habitual practice of each new art must likewise in some slight degree strengthen the intellect. If the new invention were an important one, the tribe would increase in number, spread, and supplant other tribes (emphasis ours). In a tribe thus rendered more numerous there would always be a rather greater chance of the birth of other superior and inventive members. If such men left children to inherit their mental superiority, the chance of the birth of still more ingenious members would be somewhat better, and in a very small tribe decidedly better.” The Wilsons And Their Russian DollsAnyway, as I said, group selection was not considered seriously by biologists for most of the last century. In the last two decades, however, there’s been a renewed interest no thanks to the works of E.O. Wilson (Harvard U.) and David Wilson (Binghampton U.). For them, evolution is as much a team sport as it is a battle for survival among individuals. An individual with favourable traits passes their genes to the next generations. But this could happen at more aggregated levels of biological hierarchy as well. Simply put this means there could be certain group-level traits that enable a group to survive or thrive better than other groups. These groups adapt better and perpetuate over generations while others fall away. The ‘Wilsons’ explained the multilevel selection using the Russian matryoshka dolls (extract below from the American Scientist Sep-Oct, 2008): “To think clearly about group selection, it is important to compare the survival and reproduction of individuals in the right way. The problem with "for the good of the group" behaviors is that they are locally disadvantageous. A prudent member of the herd might gain from conserving resources, but cheaters within the same group gain even more. Natural selection is based on relative fitness. If solid citizens are less fit than cheaters within their own group, then something more is required to explain how they can evolve in the total population. That something is a positive fitness difference at a larger scale. Groups of solid citizens are more fit than groups of cheaters.These interacting layers of competition and evolution are like Russian matryoshka dolls nested one within another. At each level in the hierarchy natural selection favors a different set of adaptations. Selection between individuals within groups favors cheating behaviors, even at the expense of the group as a whole. Selection between groups within the total population favors behaviors that increase the relative fitness of the whole group—although these behaviors, too, can have negative effects at a still-larger scale. We can extend the hierarchy downward to study selection between genes within a single organism, or upward to study selection between even higher-level entities. The general rule is: Adaptation at level X requires a corresponding process of selection at level X and tends to be undermined by selection at lower levels.This way of thinking about evolution is called multilevel selection (MLS) theory. Although the term "multilevel selection" is newer than the term "group selection," the Russian-doll logic has been present from the beginning, going back to the works of Darwin.”Back To KumbhI have my scepticism about multilevel selection theory. Stephen Pinker wrote a terrific essay - ‘The False Allure Of Group Selection’ - refuting the theory in The Edge (June 2012). The essay and the comments that followed are quite simply the best debate you can read on this topic. It is also a good example of how good the internet can be.I agree in large parts with Pinker but there are days when I see the events around me and I think this must be group selection at work. That we humans reached where we are today because of certain group traits that worked for us. Empathy, solidarity, the ability to forge a common belief, to work for a unitary purpose or have a shared slate of intentions - these are what made us unique and accelerated our evolution. Maybe religion works that way for people. It is the most cohesive of groupings (atleast monotheistic religions are). It is coded within us that coming together and sharing common, deeply held beliefs - about a supreme being, about how the world works or how to lead our lives - all help perpetuate our group. We thrive through these communitarian traditions and practices that are passed down to us over generations than staying apart, fending for oneself alone and letting selection play out at an individual level. We are programmed to preserve our group traits because intuitively we know they have helped us come this far. They might or might not take us from here to wherever we want humanity to go. But our instincts won’t allow us to abandon what has worked for us so far. As David Wilson famously put it:“Selfishness beats altruism within groups. Altruistic groups beat selfish groups. Everything else is commentary.” That alone can explain why people act in ways that go against their own survival instinct. There is a broader instinct to perpetuate at play. That’s what drives millions to the Kumbh. That is what will drive many to community Eid prayers later this month. That’s why your mom still wants to attend that family wedding in the middle of the pandemic. They aren’t being foolhardy. They know their importance. They can’t explain it to you. They just can feel it in their bones.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜http://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=6353QUANTO E' STUPIDO IL DIRITTO ALLA BLASFEMIA RIVENDICATO DA MACRON di Rodolfo CasadeiSpiace dover criticare chi è stato e continua essere vittima dell'odio, della cattiveria e del fanatismo jihadista, ma ogni giorno che passa diventa sempre più probabile che la stupidità e l'arroganza di Charlie Hebdo e del presidente Emmanuel Macron stiano per regalare all'islamismo - cioè all'islam politico di Erdogan e del Millî Görüş, dei Fratelli Musulmani, della teocrazia iraniana, del Jamaat el Islami del subcontinente indiano - la sua più grande vittoria politica a livello internazionale, che avrà conseguenze nefaste per la libertà in Europa. L'ostinazione di Macron a rivendicare il "diritto alla blasfemia" come un fondamentale diritto umano che la Francia promuove e protegge e l'esercizio di tale asserito diritto da parte del sopra citato periodico che ha ripubblicato le vignette su Maometto all'inizio di settembre e poi più recentemente una su Erdogan che evoca il Profeta mentre compie un atto licenzioso hanno prodotto una situazione inedita. Forse per la prima volta terroristi jihadisti, governi e forze politiche islamiste, autorità istituzionali islamiche, governi di paesi musulmani che islamisti non sono e musulmani della strada si ritrovano tutti uniti nell'obiettivo di ottenere che la Francia cambi le sue leggi e le sue abitudini in materia di libertà di espressione. E, purtroppo per tutti, ci riusciranno. Risultato che sarà probabilmente solo l'inizio di un processo di trasformazione delle leggi europee in senso illiberale.RIUNIRE I NEMICIMacron e Charlie Hebdo sono riusciti nell'impresa di coagulare in unico fronte ciò che era separato e in alcuni casi contrapposto. Tutte le componenti della costellazione islamica in questo momento hanno interesse a piegare la Francia: i jihadisti, sconfitti militarmente in Medio Oriente, potrebbero dimostrare che il ricatto terroristico funziona in terra europea; Erdogan, che ha usato i toni più duri contro Macron e più vittimisti riguardo alla condizione dei musulmani europei, dimostrerebbe che quando scende in campo come rappresentante degli interessi dei musulmani che vivono in Europa il risultato è un successo; il musulmano della strada, in Europa come nel Dar-al-Islam, assaporerebbe la rivincita dell'umiliato che è riuscito a piegare i potenti che disprezzando la sua fede disprezzano lui; i governi arabi non islamisti e le autorità religiose pro-establishment come al-Azhar dimostrerebbero che si può difendere efficacemente l'islam anche perseguitando i Fratelli Musulmani (governi) o restando al servizio dei governi che li perseguitano (autorità islamiche ufficiali). Nessuno dimentichi che Ahmed al-Tayeb, lo sceicco di Al-Azhar, ha condannato l'omicidio del docente francese Samuel Paty come anti-islamico, ma ha aggiunto che «insultare le religioni e attaccare i loro simboli sacri sotto la bandiera della libertà di espressione costituisce un doppio standard dal punto di vista intellettuale e un aperto invito all'odio». "Doppio standard" significa che non si può respingere il terrorismo delle armi (jihadista) se non si respinge anche il terrorismo intellettuale delle vignette blasfeme: al-Tayeb mette le due cose sullo stesso piano.COSA SUCCEDERÀ ADESSOIl film delle settimane a venire è facile da pronosticare: il governo francese presenta la sua legge contro il "separatismo" destinata a colpire le moschee e i centri di scolarizzazione islamisti in Francia, le proteste e i boicottaggi contro Parigi nel mondo islamico raddoppiano di intensità, nuovi attentati terroristici colpiscono il territorio francese, i paesi riuniti nell'Organizzazione della Conferenza islamica condannano gli attentati ma chiedono alla Francia di ritirare la sua legislazione islamofoba e di legiferare contro la blasfemia, altrimenti saranno costretti a prendere provvedimenti contro i cittadini e le merci francesi. L'Europa dichiarerà la sua solidarietà con Parigi, ma non farà nulla per passare dalle parole ai fatti: in Germania vivono 5 milioni di musulmani di cui 2 milioni con la cittadinanza tedesca. Mentre gli Usa non simpatizzano affatto per la laicità alla francese, soprattutto gli esponenti dell'establishment progressista. Come ha scritto su Le Figaro l'esperto di jihadismo Hugo Micheron: «C'è una stampa influente e "progressista", incarnata dal New York Times e dal Washington Post, che sembra fare molta fatica a pensare il problema jihadista - questo aggettivo non appare mai negli articoli sugli attacchi terroristici! Con un ribaltamento della realtà, la responsabilità della violenza è imputata non agli islamisti, ma al modello repubblicano francese, un'interpretazione che riecheggia la vulgata diffusa dalla Turchia di Erdogan o dalla Cecenia di Kadyrov».IL DISCORSO DI BENEDETTO XVI A RATISBONALa stampa e l'establishment liberal americano per lo più fanno la stessa cosa che fecero quindici anni fa in occasione delle violenze seguite al discorso di Ratisbona di Benedetto XVI: puntano il dito non contro chi ha fatto ricorso alla violenza per protestare contro la manifestazione di un pensiero (allora venne uccisa una suora in Somalia e furono attaccate chiese in Palestina e in Iraq), ma contro chi ha manifestato il pensiero al quale gli estremisti hanno reagito con violenze e minacce. Per i progressisti made in Usa i musulmani non vanno provocati perché godono dello statuto di vittime (del colonialismo e del pregiudizio etnico e religioso); ma più in generale né un presidente Trump né un presidente Biden prenderebbero mai le difese del "diritto alla blasfemia" rivendicato da Macron che ha coagulato l'indignazione e la reazione di tutto il mondo islamico, perché gli Usa hanno bisogno della Turchia per contenere la Russia e hanno bisogno dell'Arabia Saudita per tenere sotto scacco l'Iran.Ma più che col cinismo e con l'incapacità di comprendere dei liberal americani Macron se la deve prendere con se stesso, perché le condizioni per l'inversione delle responsabilità, con la Francia vittima di ripetuti sanguinosi attentati jihadisti trasformata in carnefice dei musulmani che la abitano, le ha create lui provocando il cortocircuito fra le leggi vigenti che vogliono impedire l'islamizzazione dello spazio pubblico, quelle che lui vuole introdurre per combattere il "separatismo" di alcune componenti musulmane della popolazione e la rivendicazione della legittimità della blasfemia anti-islamica. Non c'è bisogno di essere musulmani per sentire che qualcosa stride quando lo Stato francese, dopo aver vietato negli anni scorsi l'hijab nelle scuole e il niqab e i burka in pubblico (mentre alcune amministrazioni locali vietano anche il burkini in spiaggia e nelle piscine), si appresta ora a vietare il velo in tutte le aziende destinatarie di appalti pubblici, ad abolire la scuola parentale (praticata da un certo numero di famiglie musulmane) e a negare agli imam formati all'estero e pagati da autorità straniere di esercitare in Francia, e nel mentre che introduce questi divieti che hanno l'obiettivo di ostacolare la diffusione dell'islamismo, la massima autorità di Francia difende la libertà illimitata di bestemmiare il profeta e il Dio dei musulmani. Chi glielo spiega ai musulmani - di tutto il mondo - che la Francia non ce l'ha con loro?OTTUSITÀ LAICISTAIl futuro, come dicevamo, è segnato: la Francia dovrà cedere e fare per la ragione sbagliata quello che avrebbe dovuto fare tempo fa per la ragione giusta. In tutti i paesi del mondo la libertà di espressione ha dei limiti fissati dalla legge, in particolare quando l'espressione diventa offensiva, e non si capisce in base a quale logica il sentimento religioso dovrebbe essere l'unico sentimento umano verso il quale le offese sono sempre permesse. Ma il cedimento in questa particolare circostanza avrà due conseguenze catastrofiche: consacrerà Recep T. Erdogan come protettore dei musulmani che vivono in Europa e spianerà la strada ad altri cedimenti che avverranno con la stessa dinamica del primo. Il quadrilatero terroristi-Erdogan-piazze musulmane-al-Azhar funzionerà alla perfezione, ogni componente rafforzando le altre tre spontaneamente, senza nessuna intesa previa. L'ottusità presuntuosa dei laicisti ci ha portato qui. Titolo originale: Quanto è stupido il diritto alla blasfemia rivendicato da MacronFonte: Tempi, 5 novembre 2020Pubblicato su BastaBugie n. 690

Ziya Us Salam is a journalist and author. Presently the associate editor of Frontline, he has been associated with the Hindu for over two decades. His latest book, Inside the Tablighi Jamaat, delves into the religious organisation accused by the governing establishment and the mainstream media of spreading “corona jihad” in India.In this conversation with Newslaundry’s Mehraj D Lone, Ziya begins by explaining the roots of the Jamaat, which is arguably India’s largest Muslim organisation. Its members were not intellectuals, he says, but poor, illiterate peasants who were barely able to recite a few verses from the Quran.Describing the Jamaat’s spiritual and ritualistic aspects, he says, “They never encourage youngsters, or senior members who come to them, to under the Quran.” In the context of his own experience with the organisation, Ziya says it rejected his proposal to distribute the meaning of the Quran in English, Hindi and Urdu, since the Jamaat focuses on reading the Quran to learn about the afterlife, he says, not to understand it.Will the recent backlash and allegations of “spreading Covid” change the Jamaat’s refusal to take a political stand? They live in a “social, political vacuum,” Ziya replies. “I don’t think they will change with Covid. They did not speak in 1992, they did not speak in 2002, they didn’t speak up in 2013. There is no likelihood that the Tablighi Jamaat will undergo any major change post Covid in 2020.”Watch. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Amid the Covid-19 pandemic, practitioners of Tablighi Jamaat, a transnational Islamic piety movement, continued their mass gatherings called Ijtimah. Taking reference from his extensive fieldwork with Pakistani Tablighi, Dr Arsalan Khan outlines how a ritualised form of face-to-face preaching, or dawat, creates a distinct pious sociality based on what he calls the “ethics of hierarchy”.

I speak to Cliff Smith, Washington Project Director of the Middle East Forum and Sam Westrop, Director of Islamist Watch about the role Jamaat-i-Islami is playing in targeting India in the US through its "proxy" organizations like Islamic Circle Of North America, and various "charitable organizations." These organizations are extremely well funded and organized and ever since India took the step to abrogate article 370, these organizations have kicked into high gear. Cliff and Sam expose Jamaat's agenda and explain why even politicians in the US need to take this threat seriously. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Support The Sham Sharma Show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=13603950 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Follow Cliff: Twitter: https://twitter.com/CliffSmithZBRDZ Follow Sam: Twitter: https://twitter.com/samwestrop    

Masaajid of the Suburbs Episode 12: North Beach Jamaat Khana by Radio Islam

In this episode of NL Hafta, Newslaundry’s Abhinandan Sekhri, Raman Kirpal, Manisha Pande, and Mehraj D Lone are joined by Dhanya Rajendran, editor-in-chief of The News Minute.Starting off with the Tablighi Jamaat controversy, Dhanya explains how the event had hundreds of participants from the southern states, but governments took a long time to address the problem. Manisha asks why tourists from coronavirus-affected nations like Thailand and Malaysia were allowed to attend in the first place. Mehraj dispels Manisha’s theories of the Tablighi Jamaat being a radicalised group, explaining that it started as an Islamic revivalist movement that, like every other movement over time, became rigid in its thinking. “The Indian media only starts to care about Muslims when they have to demonise them,” he says.Abhinandan asks what we can really know about the Covid-19 spread in India if we’ve only conducted as few as 47,000 tests. Dhanya thinks this figure is not uniform across India; it’s just a handful of states where testing has been ramped up. Raman says that the problem is not with the test kits, but that tests aren’t being conducted due to the criteria set by the central government on who qualifies for the test. Manisha feels the government is “completely opaque” with the numbers, except for a few state governments. The panel discusses the Supreme Court order that the media should carry the government’s official version of the outbreak and not create panic. Raman says it’s risky, since the order can be interpreted however the government wants. Mehraj says, “The problem with giving out government data is the government seldom gives out any information.” Manisha agrees that the media has spread panic, singling out the “pro-Modi media” which uses phrases like “corona jihad” and “jihadi biowarfare”. The panel also discusses positive stories in these dark times, Kerala’s handling of the crisis, China reopening its wet markets, the Central Vista redevelopment plan, and much more. Tune in!

As of now 16 people from Assam have tested positive for coronavirus. All of them had attended Tablighi Jamaat at Nizamuddin Dargah in New Delhi. 15 people with Nizamuddin connection yet to be traced in Assam, informed state health minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. Assam Health Minister has said that 162 ICU beds with ventilators have been prepared for patients who test positive for coronavirus at at the Guwahati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH). A new super-specialty place at GMCH was created with an investment of Rs 10.13 crores by the PWD. Before Bihu, GMCH will have 200 ICU beds with ventilators, Sarma said. He added that 11000 PPP kits and more than 1 lakh N95 kits are available with the state government. 2 Assamese, 13 Bangladeshis who attended Tablighi Jamaat Markaz in Delhi's Nizamuddin area and then returned to Thane in Maharashtra have been put under home quarantine. "Their test reports will be available by tomorrow. On the basis of the report, further action will be taken," Subhas Burse, DCP Mumbra told media. Nagaland government has announced that it will provide a sum of ₹10Lac to health workers in the event of some accident while treating #COVID2019 patients. The sum will be provided in addition to the Rs 50 lakh insurance scheme provided to COVID-19 health workers under Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana A man from Manipur who attended the Tablighi Jamaat congregation at Nizamuddin Markaz in Delhi has tested positive for coronavirus. This takes the state count to two patients found COVID-19 positive. After the first COVID-19 positive case was reported from Arunachal, 12 more people who had gone to Delhi's Nizamuddin to attend Islamic religious congregation have been traced. There were 19 people from the state who were attended the Tablighi Jamaat congregation in Delhi last month. Aldrin Lyngdoh, a migrant worker from Meghalaya, committed suicide in Agra. He accused his employer in a FB post for not supporting him during the lockdown period. He also stated that he was a thief when he was young and that he had left the state for better opportunities. Tabligi Jamaat chief Maulana Saad Khandhlawi has released an audio message saying he is in quarantine. He has also urged his followers to follow the law.“Quarantine yourself, no matter where you are, it is not against Islam or Shariyat,” he said.“I am in self-quarantine in Delhi as advised by the doctors and appeal to all Jamaat wherever they are in the country to follow the directives of the law,” Khandhlawi is reportedly saying in the clip. An FIR has been lodged against the Maulana for organizing a religious gathering at Nizamuddin in Delhi. This despite the government urging people to cancel all religious gatherings. The police have conducted raids at some of his residences and are on the lookout for the Chief of the sect. Khandhlawi's great grandfather was the founder of the movement Government has launched Aarogya Setu which is essentially a COVID-19 tracker app that can let users know if they have accidentally come in contact with anyone who later tested coronavirus positive.The app uses the location of the user and Bluetooth data to determine the results. Dharavi in Mumbai has reported its first death from coronavirus. Dharavi is considered to be Asia's biggest slum therefore the probability of spread of infection can be much higher in the area. After the death of the person, the area where he stays has been sealed. The person who owns a garment shop did not have any travel history. Those in touch with the person have been stamped and quarantined. His family members' swab has been taken and results are being awaited.

In the past few days, the Tablighi Jamaat base in Delhi's Nizamuddin has been creating headlines after some of its associates were tested positive for novel coronavirus disease. Tablighi Jamaat is an Islamic missionary campaign that centers on making Muslims return to practicing their religion during the existence of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. The Tablighi Jamaat is expected to have between 150 to 250 million followers. The bulk of them living in South Asia. It has an appearance of between 180 to 200 countries. The campaign was built in 1927 by Muhammad Ilyas al-Kandhlawi in the Mewat area of India. In 2018, the Tablighi Jamaat split into pair camps after disputes rose overwhelmingly of the organization. While the larger camp is headquartered at Banglewali Masjid in Nizamuddin, the other camp runs from a mosque in Nerul near Mumbai. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/latestnewssuno/support

We start this show with a discussion around the Tablighi Jamaat congregation which took place earlier in the month which has unfortunately emerged as a major nodal point of infections. Cases in six States now can be directly traced to the event. A blame game broke out today over it but we analyse both sides of the story. Plus we get the latest updates on the number of cases in India, what we can read into the rate of the increase and a debate about whether we need to be wearing masks.

In the last 24 hours, Nizamuddin, the congested area in the heart of the national capital, has emerged as one of the hotspots on the Health Ministry's list of at least 10 hotspots where testing for coronavirus will be ramped up.Why was this decision taken? Because from Kashmir to Telangana to Tamil Nadu, some of the recent cases of infection can be traced back to a particular event – the Tablighi Jamaat Conference that was held in Nizamuddin and was attended by hundreds of Indians and foreigners from all over India and abroad.How exactly did the Jamaat Tablighi conference lead to spreading of the infection in some states ? And were there oversights by the government too? Tune in to The Big Story!

The political ideology of Islamism may not have its origins in the West, but in recent decades it has proven attractive to many individuals living there.Not only have Westerners joined terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda or the Islamic State, but political Islamist organizations such as the Muslim Brotherhood and Jamaat-e-Islami have also used the West as a base from which to recruit, fundraise and proselytize.Thankfully, many eloquent and important critics have emerged among those who were once immersed in Islamism but now reject its teachings. This event features personal testimonies from two such individuals: one from the U.K. and one based in the U.S.Maajid Nawaz was a leading member of the revolutionary Islamist group Hizb ut-Tahrir and former Amnesty International prisoner of conscience while detained in Egypt. He has since repudiated the ideology of Islamism, works to counter extremism in all forms, and encourages reform within Islam. Nawaz is an acclaimed author, columnist and broadcaster, and stood for the British Parliament in 2015.Mohammed Khalid was just fifteen when, in 2011, he became the youngest person ever prosecuted for terrorism offenses in the U.S. Turning away from Islamism while in jail, since his release he has dedicated himself to countering the ideology that led to his imprisonment.

Ade hosts a special episode centered around Ramadan on today's show! She lists a few ways to support your fasting co-workers and helpfully breaks down a handful of terms and phrases associated with Ramadan that you might hear this month.Ibrahim Abdul-Matin's book Green Deen can be found right here on Amazon!https://www.amazon.com/Green-Deen-Teaches-Protecting-Planet-ebook/dp/B00F9FMYDMConnect with us!https://linktr.ee/livingcorporateTRANSCRIPTAde: What's up, y'all? This is Ade, and you're listening to Living Corporate. So for those of you who have heard of Ramadan but have never had a co-worker or friend or family member who goes through that process every year, or maybe you do but you don't quite know what it means or you have questions as to what happens, this one's for you. So what is Ramadan? Ramadan is fundamentally two things. One, it is a period that varies from year to year--because the Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar--that Muslims go through in order to fulfill a tenet of the faith. During this month, it's not just about fasting, although that's a significant part of it, from sunrise to sunset. Muslims refrain from eating food and drinking water, but there are also other components of this month that go beyond fasting. So it is also a time of prayer, of spirituality, of reflection, and also of community. Every night when you break your fast or in the morning [?], there is a process in which you spend time with your friends and your family members. Generally it's not uncommon that you're also going through this process alone, which isn't the greatest experience in my opinion. So if you're alone during Ramadan, I hope you're able to find a community near you. So you might have heard your coworkers say that they are tired if they're fasting during this month. That's because, in general, people will wake up around 4:00 a.m. in order to, you know, eat and drink some water, get settled for the day, and pray the morning prayers, and also are staying up pretty late in the evening to break their fast, to commune, to gather their family and friends, but also go to--if they are--I think this is a Sunni Muslim thing only, but if they're Sunni--if [?] is listening, please drop a line. Let us know if I'm wrong. I'm not quite sure, but Sunni Muslims go through this thing called [?]. It's late night prayers essentially. So while fasting itself is obligatory, you don't necessarily have to fast to also observe Ramadan. There are people who can't fast, who are either sick, or--traveling's a big one, or breast-feeding, or for people who have periods. You don't fast during your period. But there are also other components of the month that are special. So you--like I said before, you get to experience these late night prayers. You are also supposed to be--it's this internal time of reflection where you're supposed to be experiencing humility, and you're supposed to be a little bit extra--an extra sprinkle of patience. I mean, imagine that you're going 16, 17, 18 hours without eating or drinking water, which is actually a bigger deal than you might realize. But you're going through all of these things, and you're also trying to empathize with people who, you know, Ramadan is their daily life. You're attempting to extend yourself to others, to be more patient, be kind, be more humble. All of these components are an inherent part of Ramadan. You're also supposed to restrain yourself, right? Like, you don't get to have a lot of the physical pleasures that you experience, and so how does this, you know, reflect on who you are at work? Well, I know for myself I'm a pretty caffeine-reliant person, so imagine me at work at 9:00 a.m. meetings when I'm expected to perform at my best and I don't have, you know, my drug of choice, caffeine. I don't have--I haven't had water in a very long time. My head hurts. I'm probably tired. So part of Ramadan for people who are in Corporate America, in corporate spaces, and in, you know, just general is that you're spending a lot of time setting expectations before and during Ramadan. I know that I had a conversation with my team leads and my manager saying, "Hey, Ramadan's coming up. During the month on Fridays, I will not be here. I will be working remotely so that I can, you know, have that extra time to make it to [Jamaat?] prayers, or I will be, you know, a little bit crankier during the month. You know, not taking my frustrations out on people, but I'll be a little bit less perky essentially. I won't have water, I won't have food, and I certainly will not have caffeine, so be patient with me. And I also am a little bit more diligent during this month with writing everything down, because part of what fasting does is it affects your concentration, it affects your mental acuity, so I try to be extra diligent with that as well. And just being able to say, "Hey, these are the things that I'm experiencing. Thank you in advance for your patience and your support throughout this. This is what I need. This is what I don't need. It's really okay for you to eat in front of me in meetings. I'm not gonna be mad, and I'm not gonna Hulk smash anything." Setting those expectations I think makes them easier on everyone around you. So let's talk about--I'm doing this all by myself so it feels a little odd, but let's talk about what it means to be a supportive co-worker or supportive friend for those who aren't Muslims, aren't going through Ramadan. I also know that there are people who are non-Muslims who like to show solidarity with their partners or their friends or their family members by fasting along, and y'all are dope. So what does it mean to be supportive? I would say if you are in a leadership position, if you are in a management position, I would start by making some concessions. Allow maybe people to work a few extra days remotely this month. I would, you know, not schedule a whole ton of intense meetings, particularly near the end of the day. Closer to the beginning of the day is better, and that's because, you know, if I ate at 4:00 a.m., 12:00 is still a good time to talk to me. 3:00 p.m.? Eh, okay. 4:30 p.m.? You're definitely pushing it, you know? Again, think about this as this person's had not as much sleep as they typically do, they're under--they're working with much less mental stimulation, probably low blood sugar, and they're also making an extra effort at this time to be extra patient and extra kind. So meet them halfway. It's cool. So what are some ways you can support your co-worker at work? I think that, for most people, it's relatively easy to notice the ways in which you can support your co-workers, because it's just about being considerate. Let people work a few extra days remotely if possible. Yeah, just be flexible with their schedule, because it's often easier to come into work earlier than it is to stay later. Don't plan any extra meetings or make meetings extra long, because your concentration is pretty much shot throughout the month providing a space for people to reflect and pray if it's possible, because even if they're not ultra-externally religious over the course of the whole year, Ramadan is an extra special time, and it is a time during which most people that I know personally just take some time to reflect and to just kind of self-check, and it's really nice having a space where, you know, you can retreat while still also being accessible at work. So that's nice. Also, it's okay to still have food-based events. I know that we have birthday cakes for co-workers and things like that. Sometimes there are, like, potlucks during the month, and nobody [?] would ever ask you to stop that during the month of Ramadan. Just because I'm fasting doesn't mean that everybody else needs to. In fact, it's really great if there's--if people are having birthday cakes and they're like, "Save me a slice for later," 'cause I have, like, cake to look forward to, and who doesn't like having cake to look forward to? I'm generally going to say also that it's okay to ask how people are doing. It's okay to ask, you know, how people are holding up, what they're experiencing. It's not okay to say things like--that are condescending or dismissive in general, because, I mean, these are just basic rules of engagement when it comes to working with people, but it's not okay to minimize people. Like, "Yeah, I fasted." Like, "I've been intermittent fasting," or "I've been doing this intermittent fasting for a couple of weeks now. I know what you're going through," because truth is, yes, you have been fasting for several weeks, and not to minimize your experiences, but just to say that we are not experiencing the same thing, and it's okay to recognize that. In 2019 I'm gonna give up saying "um" so frequently. Thank you so much for your patience, y'all. And definitely allowing time to celebrate after Ramadan's done. So Ramadan ends with Eid--I think this year it's supposed to end on the fourth or the fifth of June. We are not sure because, again, lunar calendar, and there's a whole thing. Go ahead and--I encourage you to look into Eid and the end of Ramadan and what that means. Yeah, allow your co-workers to take time off to celebrate the end of Eid. It's often a time of celebration with family members. And think about it. People look forward to this time of year. It's this incredible time where you are exercising more discipline than you've shown during the year. It's like--for me personally I describe it as, like, a spiritual reset, when throughout the year I experience things and life gets more and more overwhelming or I surround myself with things that are not necessarily edifying, and there are things that are often toxic that you don't realize are toxic around you and in your space, and you just get to release all of those things through the things that you read and the things that you recite over the course of the month. I say all of that to say that this is a month of particular thoughtfulness and introspection, and at the end you get to celebrate all of it with friends and family, and your--like, because this is gonna be during the summer. There's gonna be, like, a huge barbecue, and you get to, like, hang out with friends, people you haven't seen in ages. There are often, like, marriage announcements during Eid, or people get married during Eid. Like, there's just, like, a whole ton that goes on, and it would suck if you spent all of Ramadan looking forward to Eid, not necessarily because that's what you're supposed to be doing, but you're looking forward to Eid, honestly, at the end of Ramadan. It's a ton of fun, and you don't get to take that time off. That blows. So if it's at all possible, certainly allow your coworkers or friends that time off to fast. Now, I think the final thing I want to touch on on what you can do as a co-worker to be supportive is I certainly think that because it's okay to ask questions, I would say that, you know, schedule some time after the month of Ramadan is over to grab coffee and say, "Oh, hey, I recall that you did this thing. What is that about?" If you're not asking during Ramadan because of all the reasons I just spelled out, because there's nothing--there's nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with asking questions, and I actually also think that it's okay to say, "Hey, I'm kind of uncomfortable with this, and I don't know if you're comfortable with this, but I do want to ask you XYZ questions," 'cause that's how you get an understanding, I think. Just to recap what we talked about, allow flexibility with your friends and co-workers. That's not to say that we expect that, you know, you doing our work through Ramadan, 'cause Ramadan is so hard, but just allow some flexibility. Allow people to come in a little bit early if they need to. And there's some people maybe who prefer to come in later. That's cool too. I certainly think that it would be better to get a sense as to who's gonna be fasting and all of those things beforehand, and if they've been doing their due diligence, most people will generally call out, "Hey, Ramadan's coming up. Things are gonna be a little different for me. It's not you. It's me. I'm gonna be avoiding certain situations. It's not you. It's me." Your co-workers who will often go on smoke breaks with you, probably not gonna be going on those smoke breaks. That's probably one of the things that they're gonna give up during daylight hours. It's not you, it's them. People are in general often not gonna go to happy hours with you or they're not gonna do those things, and so I think part of--I think what I didn't highlight is just finding other ways to be inclusive, to have social gatherings. If you have any client relationships, maintaining those or helping your co-workers maintain those client relationships in ways that aren't going to exclude them, and by that I mean if you have lunch with your clients every third Thursday or whatever--I'm making that up--but if you have lunch with your clients, give your clients a heads-up. "Hey, Ali's not gonna be coming," or "Ali's gonna be here, but he's not gonna be eating. It's okay. It's not weird. It's just Ramadan." All of these different ways in which you can be allies to your co-workers in that way. And if they do say that they're fasting and they slip up and say something along the lines of, "Oh, I'm so thirsty," don't offer them water. It's coming from a good place, and I know that it's coming from a good place, but being like, "It's okay, you can break your fast 20 minutes early," or whatever, if it's close to the time of breaking fast. That's not actually helpful, and although you're attempting to be helpful, it's not, like, a truly help--like, it doesn't help my spiritual growth to say it's okay to bend your will and your dedication to this thing because I can see you feeling the effects of it. If I didn't know the consequences of my actions I wouldn't be taking them, if that makes any sense. We also said try to insure your meetings are a little bit earlier in the day rather than later. Meetings that are later in the day are painful. I mean, everyone knows that you don't--you don't truly want to schedule meetings well into the afternoon in general in Corporate America, but it's even worse when, you know, you're running low on blood sugar, you've been probably up for a good, long while. It starts to take a toll, and I'm not at my best in those meetings. So I would caution against that as well, and certainly--especially if you have a larger contingent of Muslims on your payroll, when Eid comes around I would expect to cover--I mean, in the same way that you expect that during Christmas people are going to be taking time off and spending time with their family, or during Thanksgiving, it's a similar concept in that we want to be with our families and celebrating, and it's just nice to know that we don't have to--we don't have to, like, steal our spines to negotiate time off work for this. And it's--you know, Eid is a big deal. It's not just a one-day thing. It's, like, a one, two, three, four day thing. Okay, it's actually one to three days. Whatever, but [laughs]--I wish it were, like, a seven-day festival of fun and festivities. I say all of that to say that your friends and co-workers are really going to need that time off, so if you need to, like, swap schedules, if you need to plan a little bit ahead of time, if you need to create some succession plans and insure that there are overlapping responsibilities--people are taking care of those overlapping responsibilities, I would take care of that as well. And also, this is just a really good time to approach your co-workers with some empathy, because people may not necessarily disclose fully what their experiences are, and I've talked a lot about how this is a time of community and a shared understanding, but I also know that there are many people who are very far away from home for whom this is a difficult time, and Ramadan may not necessarily be the happiest time for them. So in that case, or not just in that case, but I certainly think this is a great time to experience or to share some empathy, to extend yourself a little bit, extend grace to others around you in the spirit of Ramadan. One thing I've heard of when my friend was--a couple of years ago for Iftar one day, her team threw an Iftar. She was the only Muslim on the team, and they were all curious, so they all fasted with her for the day. And, again, you don't have to be super allies in this way, but they all fasted with her for the day, and then they broke their fast together, and that was just the cutest thing to me because one they didn't have to, but they extended themselves for her, wanted to put themselves in her shoes, and two, to truly experience a new way of living a world in which they never realized existed until they had this co-worker and extended some grace to her. So I encourage that as well. Let's see, do I have any final thoughts? Just some key phrases that you might be hearing over the course of this month. Ramadan Mubarak, which is, like, "Happy Ramadan." Ramadan Kareem is another greeting that you might hear. Then conversely, at the end of the month when it's Eid, you might hear "Eid Mubarak." Let's see. What are some other words? Iftar. Iftar is the breaking of the fast in the evening. So we typically do that by eating a date and drinking some water. And then suhur is your, like, morning breakfast. That's what you eat before you start your fast for the whole day. What are some other key words or key terms? If you play music at work, throw on some Sami Yusuf. I love, love, love--I personally love Sami Yusuf's music. That's Sami Yusuf. Yeah, take some song recommendations, play some music. Zain Bhikha is a good one as well to just listen to at work if you're in an environment where y'all play music during the day. Yeah, I think that's it for me. I don't have any book recommendations, although I should. I've been reading a few actually. Well, okay. There's a book called Green Muslim. I don't know what the author--I don't quite remember the author's name right now, but I'll be sure to provide that information in the notes. Green Muslim, it's all about being an environmentalist as a Muslim--or is it Green Deen? Goodness. My brain. See? It's all about being an environmentalist as a Muslim and what it means to support sustainability, and so it's a pretty good read so far, and I'm happy to share the name and a link to that in our show notes. Thank you again for listening. I hope this was not too rambly for everyone. Ramadan Mubarak, everyone. This has been Ade. Peace.

Pakistan was conceived of as a country where Muslims could live free of Hindu domination and discrimination but was that the extent of the project? Was it meant to be a country in which Muslims could live safely or was the idea to establish an Islamic state? And is, in fact, an Islamic state the final goal of Muslims? Are there ways of blending the ideas of Islam with systems of government that do not take a view on religion and allow individuals to live their religious lives as they see fit? On this week’s Newshour Extra Owen Bennett Jones is in the Pakistani capital Islamabad to find out whether an Islamic state is possible in the modern world. The guests this week are Zubair Safdar, Public Policy Analyst and Media Coordinator of the Jamaat-e-Islami political party, Dr Soumia Aziz, Lecturer in Islamic Studies at Islamic International University, Islamabad, and Mosharraf Zaidi, the leader of Alif Ailaan, a political campaign that helps to address Pakistan’s education crisis, and also a columnist and former government adviser.

Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat - Peer Zulfiqar Ahmad 9 feb 2017 http://tasawwuf.org/

On Episodes 02 and 03, we are joined by journalist and television anchor Ejaz Haider, currently the Editor for National Security Affairs at Capital TV. The second part of the conversation is about the transition from print to broadcast, the Deo-Salafist movement, the evolution of the Jamaat e Islami, civilian-military relations and the enormous powers of the Pakistan Army, and hand (or grass)-fed organic narratives. This is the second of a two-episode conversation with Ejaz Haider. The first was Episode 2 of Season 2.

Meer dan 70 doden vielen er gisteren bij een aanslag in een park in de Pakistaanse stad Lahore. De aanslag werd opgeëist door de terreurgroep Jamaat-ur-Ahrar, die is gelieerd aan de Taliban. Suzanna Koster is journalist en Pakistan-kenner en zal uitleggen tegen welke achtergrond deze aanslag plaatsvond.

Farhana Haider investigates the prosecution of alleged war criminals and asks if the trials are being used to target the opposition. There were numerous reports of atrocities during the brutal war of 1971 between Pakistan on one side and the new state which was to become Bangladesh, which had support from India. The Pakistani Army and Islamic sympathisers in Bangladesh were accused of rape and of mass killings which some have described as genocide. In 2010 the governing Awami League set up war crimes trials which have started to hand down convictions this year, attracting strong public support. However, many international observers have criticised the conduct of the trials as less than free and fair. And supporters of the largest Bangladesh's largest Islamist party Jamaat-e-Islami have reacted furiously to the conviction of several of their leaders, saying the process is politically motivated. Farhana Haider asks whether the legal process will really enable Bangladesh to come to terms with its bloody beginnings. Producer: John Murphy.

SAJA, the South Asian Journalists Association, representing 1,000+ journalists in the US and Canada, present their latest SAJA Briefing. Join Anup Kaphle, digital foreign editor of the Washington Post and Sree Sreenivasan, Columbia University's Chief Digital Officer as we discuss one of the biggest crises in four decades of Bangladeshi history. Our speakers: Maneeza Hossain, senior fellow at Hudson Institute, specializing in prospects of democracy in South Asia and the Middle East and has written extensively on Bangladesh; and Zain Al-Mahmood, a journalist based in Dhaka, covering Bangladesh for WSJ. His interests are politics, human rights and sustainable development. For the last 4 weeks, Bangladesh has been convulsed by the Shahbagh movement. What started as the protest of bloggers against a back-door deal between the government and the opposition Islamist party Jamaat-e-Islami, has mushroomed into continuous street protests against the war criminals of Bangladesh's 1971 liberation war. During the brutal war that gave birth to Bangladesh, the genocidal campaign of the Pakistan army was assisted by local Bengali collaborators, known as "razakars."
