Anwar Shaikh (Converted to Hinduism – called Aniruddha Gyan Shikha). After his conversion to Hinduism, he has written many books to expose Islam religion. He gave an interview to Chandigarh Times correspondent Ranjit Kanwar. Details are given below.
Ranjit Kanwar: We have heard your name
in India, yet we do not know much about
you. Will you tell me something about yourself?
Anwar Shaikh: I was born in
1928 in a village near the-city of Gujarat (Pakistan).
Religion has been a part of my family tradition.
Naturally, I was brought up
to be a scholar of Islam: To the best of my knowledge, it was my great great
grandfather, who embraced Islam. He was a Kashmiry pundit. After conversion, he
became an Imam Masjid, a fervent preacher of Islam. My grandfather was conscious
of his Brahmin ancestry, - . .. and
resented if anyone spoke ill of the Vedas yet he could not return to his roots
owing to the psychological grounding he had received over the years. In
Pakistan, I was a teacher and then
became headmaster of a high school. Though economically,' life was bearable,
socially, it was not.
I emigrated to Great Britain in
1956.
After initial hardships I struck lucky. At the height of business
success, I suddenly realized that I
wanted to do some reformative work instead of indulging in money-making it was
in 1973 that I started winding up my commercial activities, and am glad that I
did so because it gave me a chance to re-educate myself, especially in
philosophy and religion.
Ranjit Kanwar: I have read your book: "Islam, The
Arab National Movement" which is becoming world-famous rapidly. Did you write it
to oppose Islam?
Anwar Shaikh: Its purpose is not to oppose, but expose
Islam: it is a serious work based on long research and personal experience.
There is not one word of lie, insolence or intentional misinterpretation in this
book. Since it is based on truth and nothing but the truth; it is an open
challenge to those who use Islam as the tool of personal gain, politically and
religiously. So great is the force and authenticity of this book that no Muslim
scholar has come forward so far to refute its Contents.
Ranjit Kanwar: Are
you another Rushdie?
Anwar Shaikh: I am being labeled as such. For example,
the Urdu daily:" Pakistan"
and weekly "Maharat" of Lahore, have called me "a
Satan of much greater stature than Rushdie and Tasleema," and The Daily "Jang"
of London
has described me "a Rushdie whose writings are infinitely more dangerous to
Islam than Rushdie and Tasleema put together." The Muslim readers of the "Jang"
have written to this newspaper repeatedly begging the mullahs and
other
scholars of Islam to answer my questions to "save"-but they have deliberately
kept quiet to the utter annoyance of the believers, who are really worried by
the contents of "Islam, The Arab National Movement". They demonstrated against
Rushdie in every country through public meetings, processions, slogans and
murders, but about my book they have willfully observed a conspiracy of silence
because they do not want the world to know the truth about Islam. This clearly
shows that I am the exact opposite of Rushdie. His work is fiction based on
insult to the Prophet Mohammed and his family, whereas my book is a serious work
founded on scholarship; reason and research. At the most, Rushdie is an artistic
protester whereas I am a challenger to the very concept of Islam.
Ranjit
Kanwar: I see. But has your book any relevance to India?
Anwar
Shaikh: My book has a relevance to entire mankind, but is especially to India
because before the coming of Islam, India was a prosperous, peaceful and proud
country, which has not only been reduced to extreme poverty and ignorance by the
Muslim predators and the Islamic rule, but has also been fragmented into
geographical and political units. This book clearly demonstrates that, as Islam
seeks to impose Arab cultural imperialism on other nations through a doctrine of
divide and murder, India and Islam cannot live together.
This book is a must for India.
Ranjit Kanwar: Do you
realize that this book exposes you to serious danger? Aren't you
afraid?
Anwar Shaikh: The truth has its price, which I am prepared to pay. I
have not resorted to swearing or falsification simply to uphold the dignity of
truth. Fear is a part of human nature and it will be wrong of me to deny it.
However, I must add that by making me a martyr, they will sound the death-knell
of Islam.
Ranjit Kanwar: It is a revolutionary book with profound
consequences. What prompted you to write it?
Anwar Shaikh: This is an
excellent question and proves your competence as a journalist. Having lived in
the West for such a long time, one day it crossed my mind why the white people
love their countries but the Muslims of India hate their motherland. There is no
exaggeration in it because they think of Bharat not as their Motherland but
Dar-ul-Harb i.e. battle field, where people murder, plunder and deceive out of
hatred and greed. Having given this point further thought I soon realized that
Islam is based on the doctrine of hating and murdering non-Muslims and reducing
them to the status of political slaves. It is totally false to say that Islam is
the ambassador of international brotherhood. Again, it is completely untrue that
the Muslims of all countries are one nation. It is the law of nature that
nationality is constituted by blood ties and geographical boundaries, that is,
the homeland. A nation being an expanded form of family is subject to the
familial rules of identity. Of Course, a person can adopt another nationality
quite legitimately but it is an exception, and there fore, cannot change the
basic rule. Calling Muslims of all countries as one nation is wrong because all
these nations have their separate home lands with their independent interests
and different policies. Pakistan was soon split into two halves i.e.
Pakistan and Bangladesh. The government of
Pakistan in 1951 stopped
entry of all Indian Muslims into Pakistan despite the fact that they were the
people who had made most sacrifices for the creation of Pakistan even more shameful is the treatment of
Pakistanis from Bihar, who stood by Pakistan against the Bangladeshis.
Muslim nationality is a myth, which is extremely injurious to the non-Arab
Muslims but highly beneficial to the Arabs. And this is what leads to the
inevitable conclusion that Islam is not a religion but the Arab National
Movement.
Ranjit Kanwar: Good lord! Is it what Islam is? Do you mind
explaining this point a bit further?
Anwar Shaikh: The philosophy that
lies behind Islam is stunning and proves the consummate political skill of the
Prophet Mohammed: by declaring all Muslims as one nation and the non-Muslims as
another, he created the Two
Nation Theory, perpetually setting Muslims
against non-Muslims. Again, he stressed that in this struggle the Muslims would
be victorious. This is exactly the theory that Karl Marx adopted after many
centuries. Presenting his
dialectical view of history; he emphasized that
all material progress owed itself to eternal social strife between the
capitalists and the proletariats in which the latter would win the struggle.
However, Karl Marx did not show
the mastery that the prophet Mohammed did.
By creating the Two Nation Theory, he subjected all non-Muslim Arabs to the
cultural imperialism of Arabia. He achieved
this purpose with a mind boggling subtlety: he made Arab- worship the
cornerstone of Islam. Thus, those who embrace Islam naturally feel inferior to
Arabia as a devotee believes in relation to his
goddess.
Ranjit Kanwar: This is an unusual explanation of Islam. Can you
tell me how the Prophet Mohammed raised reverence of Arabia sky-high and made it an artist of faith for his
non-Arab followers?
Anwar Shaikh: Here is a small summary of the steps
that the Prophet took to realize his dream.
1. He declared that when Adam
was evicted from paradise, he came to Mecca where he built the first House of God.
Thus, he identified Godliness with Kaaba, a Sanctuary of Mecca where God lives!
Not only that, Abraham, the
Jewish patriarch, also came to Mecca to rebuild the House
of God!
2. For the purpose of imposing Arab psychological superiority on
non-Arab Muslims, he decreed that they must prostrate five-times-a-day facing
Mecca. This is
not only an act of submission to Mecca, the
capital city of Arabia,
but also proves
beyond a shadow of doubt that God lives in Mecca, otherwise why should people prostrate in
that
direction?
3. A Muslim must not defecate himself or answer the
call of nature facing Mecca. It is a blasphemous act in view of the
sanctity of Mecca.
4. When Muslims die, they must be
buried facing Mecca, which is the guarantee of their
salvation.
5. To make sure that the Arabs enjoy economic
opulence, the Prophet made Hajj as obligatory ritual for his followers. It is a
pilgrimage to Mecca. There are countless Indian Muslims who
sell their homes and personal belongings to undertake these journeys can give
many more examples to this effect but this should be enough to explain the real
purpose of Islam.
Ranjit Kanwar: It does show the Arab national tendency
of Islam, but the non- Arab followers of Islam do not have to adopt a slavish
attitude to the Arab national Institutions to prove their Islamic faith. Do
they?
Anwar Shaikh: I regret to say, Sir, like countless non -Muslims,
you do not know the master stroke of the Prophet.
Ranjit Kanwar: I have
never heard of this master stroke before. Can you enlighten me in the interest
of humanity?
Anwar Shaikh: I am referring to the prophet's declaration
that Allah has made him the Model of Practice for his followers it has come to
mean that the Muslims must copy him in everything, they must eat, drink, walk
and talk like him, even must look like him, that is, they grow beard like his,
have a similar hair-cut and dress like him. This is what is called followings
the Sunnah .i.e., the Prophetic: Model which is the guarantee of salvation. One
can easily say that Islam has been designed to induce respect and love for
Arabia. There are express commands of the
Prophet, which state
that a person is not Muslim until he loves him more
than his own father and mother. The idea is that people must be weaned from
their own nationalities and motherlands, and attached firmly to Mecca. This is the reason
that the
Muslims of India call their own homeland as the battlefield and
Arabia the fountain of peace and celestial
glory. Now, it is perhaps, easy for you to understand why the Muslims of India
partitioned their own motherland for practicing the Arab cultural values in
Pakistan (and
Bangladesh).
Ranjit Kanwar:
What is likely to happen if the non-Arab Muslims do not follow the Prophet in
loving Arabia even if it involves unpatriotic
practices against their own homelands?
Anwar Shaikh: The Muslims must
love Arabia because the Prophet did so. They
must follow him as the Divine Model of Practice. This is what Islam expects if
don't, they are sure to enter hell because the Prophet will not intercede
on
their behalf.
Ranjit Kanwar: What is intercession?
Anwar Shaikh: This is
the special power of the Prophet Mohammed. He recommend paradise for his
followers on the Day of Judgment. His recommendation is final and Allah cannot
deny it. It is available to all murderers, rapists, arsonists, cheats, thugs,
pickpockets and pimps provided they are followers of the Prophet. On the
contrary, all Hindus, Sikhs, Jews, Christians will be cast into a flaming hell,
no matter, how pious and God-fearing they may have been. Piety has no meaning
and value without believing in Mohammed and the greatness of his homeland.
Intercession is the
climax of the Prophet's National wisdom--It is this
Muslim belief which gives them the hope of free sex and economic abundance, and
they feel obliged to kill in the name of Islam. This is why they are ever ready
to stab their motherland. After all, caring about one's country entails
sacrifices whereas the comforts of paradise are sweet and splendid. And it
is especially so when they involve no moral responsibility.
Ranjit
Kanwar:
Poor India! "Islam, The Arab National Movement" seems to
be the book, not only for every Indian, irrespective of his religion, but also
for every Pakistani and Bangladeshi as well. After all, they all belong to the
Indian subcontinent. What have you done to propagate its
contents?
Anwar Shaikh: By writing this book, I have discharged my
duty. Its propagation, I believe, is a duty of every one.
Ranjit Kanwar:
Will you be prepared to allow translations of this book into various languages
without expecting any financial reward?
Anwar Shaikh: I shall be
delighted to do so provided such a task is undertaken for public good, and not
as a trade.
Ranjit Kanwar: What is the price of the book and can people get
in touch with you.
Anwar Shaikh: The book cost = A35 only and the address
is:
ANWAR SHAIKH, P.O.Box
918, CARDIFF CF5 2NL. GREAT
BRITAIN.

Muslims increasing at a very fast rate in Bharat
From: Raj Chopra" < sumraj...@hotmail.com>
This is regarding increasing population of Muslims in
Bharat. Do you know that they are increasing three times from Hindu every year?
There is not a single city or a road where you will not find them. They are just
like bacteria for this Bharat country and they are multiplying very fast.
We
Hindus are sleeping on this matter, we have to do something or it will be too
late. I remember my visit to Mumbai last week, where I got shocked-- "Mumbra" is
the city in navi Mumbai, it's not mini Pakistan it is PAKISTAN. Not only this --go and
visit JAMIA in Delhi, you will also get shocked. We have no
hate for them but they are preparing them selves against us. They are living in
dream of converting India
into Pakistan. They will convert it, if we
Hindus keep on sleeping. Cities with more of Muslim majorities you will nil
development there, you know why? Because they don't want it and all this is
happening purposely. We all know about this but what we are or our government is
doing.
I think we should sleep well and one day when we will wake up, we will
find ourselves in Muslim country - India.

Racial Origin of the Muslim Population and their Social Stratification under Bengal Sultanate
Many know that chiefly Hindus, including Buddhists and Animists, lived in
Bengal before 1200 A. D. The ruling power was
in the hands of Brahman Sena dynasty. While an adventurer and ambitious Turk
Muslim named Bakhtiyar Khalji defeated Laksmana Sena, the fate of the population
of this region as though started to change. With that, change also came in their
religious identity.
Muslims, increasing with a slow, but steady figure, were
replacing Hindu population. With this increase, the then Bengal, which is now
Bangladesh, contains Muslims as the
majority of her population and today the Hindus are the minority. Some say,
Muslims living here are all no doubt converts from Hindus, though it seems some
Muslims might be of foreign origin.
They came in 1200 and within a few hundred years became the Majority in Bengal. A transformation of the same sought is visible in many parts of India. This time not with the help of Islamic rulers but with the help of vote bank seeking politicians, constantly bickering and divided Hindus and a pseudo secular media. If Bengal remained undivided Muslims would have been 75% of Bengal today. If India would have remained undivided Muslims would have been 45% of India. From 0% to 45%.
