IS outfit is a big threat to
non-Islamic countries
There has been a
meteoric rise of Islamic State into a state-like apparatus. The terror group
has managed to retain control over territory it holds, through a mixture of
brutality, fear and immense money power. It has managed to draw recruits from
all over the world. There has been radicalisation
of some alienated Muslims even in countries that promote multiculturalism.
The Union Home
Ministry’s decision to formulate a coherent national strategy to take on IS and
prevent Indians being recruited by it is commendable. The possibility of the ideological influence of groups such as IS
coming to play in India is limited. Yet, there is the distinct possibility of
IS targeting or influencing disaffected youth among the community.
The threat of IS
in India has to be tackled by means of a security-oriented response, through
coordination among police and intelligence agencies and by addressing in a just
way the grievances of India’s largest minority community. The other important
method to control IS in India is to stop so called minority into turning to
majority. Control their population strictly. Why should they marry 4???
Now in the Kashmir
valley after Friday prayers marching with ISIS and Pakistani flags is becoming
a regular feature and is fast becoming a code for defying the Indian authority.
At least now centre has woken up and realizes the need of a well coordinated
nationwide policy to stem the anti national activities.
If someone claims
to do as per the Holy Koran and is killing innocents, then what about other
Muslims who have also read the same Koran and have followed the same religion
but who don't believe in such things, aren't they following the same
religion/teachings? Then why is that they are against such atrocities and
brutalities?
IS is become a
dangerous conundrum. This is the consequence of the cowardice on the part of
liberal Muslims who fail to provide alternative discourse and the acceptance of
the existence of other faiths to these fundamentalists. They are dead scared of
standing upto the terror and fanaticism. Muslims cannot run away from their
responsibilities and perpetually blame others, like West, India, America, for
their narrow minded sectarianism.
The primary aim of
this outfit is to establish an Islamic Caliphate followed by worldwide
domination. The methods used for achieving their goals are by terrorizing the
general populace. Many Muslims all over the world are opposed to these barbaric
methods to achieve their goals. However,
it must be emphasised that all Muslims whether Shia or Sunni consider the
formation of the Caliphate and Worldwide Muslim domination as legitimate goals.
President Obama
has now declared the Islamic State as America's greatest threat. It's time all
non-Islamic countries looked at this new threat with greater urgency and understanding.
