of mumbai and beyond…

The recent atrocities committed in Mumbai, India in the name of the ongoing quest for the spread of the Arab and Arabizeds’ Dar ul-Islam is merely a continuation of a war waged by Muhammed’s followers for about fourteen centuries now against the Dar al-Harb…the realm of war, i.e. all peoples and lands not yet conquered either in the name of what Arab pipedreams proclaim to be “purely Arab patrimony” or the faith of the Arabs’ Seal of the Prophets.

As Arab armies burst out of the Arabian Peninsula around the mid-7th century C.E., lands native to other Semitic but non-Arab peoples (despite the wishful thinking of those who espouse the Winkler-Caetani Theory–Jews, Assyrians, Phoenicians/Lebanese, etc.), Copts, Berbers, Kurds, Persians and other Aryan peoples, Turks, black Africans, Indians, and others fell one after another to Arab and Arabized imperial conquests. Numerous millions of people were slaughtered in the process–continuing to this very day. Others willingly jumped on the Arab bandwagon to gain shares of the conquests.

Muhammad of Gaur first spread the Dar ul-Islam into India in the 12th century C.E., and the highlight of these conquests came with the Moghul Empire several centuries later.

The results were lasting, and the partition of the Indian subcontinent into a Muslim Pakistan and largely Hindu India in 1947 reflected this. During that same year, Arabs would reject a similar partition of what was left of the original 1920 Mandate of Palestine after Arab Jordan was created from nearly 80% of it in 1922. Had Arabs accepted this, they would have wound up with about 90% of the whole with the creation of their 2nd, not 1st, Arab state in “Palestine”–the name the Roman Emperor Hadrian gave to Judaea after the Jews’ second revolt for freedom in 133-135 C.E.

There are, indeed, similarities between what Israel faces in Judea and Samaria today–renamed, as a result of 20th century British imperialism and Jordanian Arab conquest, the “West Bank”–and what India faces in Kashmir and elsewhere. The one big difference, of course, is that there are about one billion Indians (who were never earlier subjected to a forced diaspora like the Jews were after taking on Rome) instead of some six million Jews facing similar threats from Arab and/or Arabized.
