Love-Bomb, a new RSS weapon against innocent Muslim youths of Kerala: Jana Satta

Kerala facing a new danger

The Kerala High Court instructed the central government yesterday to investigate into the so-called allegation of conversion of the Hindu girls to Islam by Love-Jihad organization of Kerala. The home ministry will submit the finding report to the court in this matter. It has also ordered to investigate the influx of money for this project. Justice K. T. Shankaran has issued this order while hearing anticipatory bail petition of the two accused youths. They have been accused of forcing the college girls to convert to Islam and for being attached to Popular Front of India, a South-friendly organization. The Justice asserted on observing the case diary, “It seems there have been many cases like this, the organizations like “Love-Jihad” or “Romeo-Jihad” are the fabrications of a particular group of Muslims in Kerala”.

Recently in previous month, two parents had filed a writ petition in high court after their daughters were missing. The girls reported on being recovered that they had been kidnapped and were being forced to convert to Islam. After the girls were sent to the parents’ custody, the court asked the police to investigate into the matter as to how the girls are being enticed in love and being forced for conversion to another religion.

The concerned girls are the residents of Kochi and Trivanantpuram who studied in Pathan Mithqan College. One of them fell in love with her senior colleague and she wished to marry him. Her lover involved the other girl with his friend. The girls reported that they were taken to Malayapuram and given religious books; also they were shown the video of religious significance. The police admitted that there have been certain cases of girls being trapped in love and forced into conversion. Some girls have been returned to their parents who did not file legal cases for fear of social embarrassment. According to sources, this organization is especially targeting the Hindu girls.

Indian' Bible making waves in Kerala

5 Aug 2008, PTI

The Mumbai-based publishing house, St Pauls, which brings out religious books, has come out with the new Indian Bible, which also has references to Meerabai, Mahatma Gandhi, and Rabindranath Tagore in the interpretations of biblical passages, Father Thelekat said.

As far as Catholics are concerned, they have to live and interpret their Christian faith and scriptures within the given culture. So they have to understand and interpret the culture, he said.

The New Community Bible is a revised edition of the popular Christian Bible translated by Late Bernardo Hurault, published from the Philippines. About 30 scholars have worked on it from 1980 and made the interpretations which are published at the bottom part of the Bible, Fr Thekekat said.

The text of the Bible is the accepted Catholic version, whose interpretations are made with an Indian cultural perspective.

SIMI, the first among terror suspects, still active through 50 fronts

Twenty-three out of these 46 outfits are active in Kerala followed by eight in Maharashtra, seven in West Bengal, three in Bihar, two in Uttar Pradesh and one each in Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka and Delhi. Though some of them are put under the list of banned outfits by the respective states, most of these organisations have been working without any restrictions.

“State police and intelligence agencies have, however, been keeping close tabs on these outfits. But one has to have concrete evidence to ban them under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967”, said a senior home ministry official.

The identity of these outfits were disclosed by the home ministry in its background note submitted before the Special Tribunal headed by Delhi High Court judge Gita Mittal who did not uphold the notification of the goverment extending the ban on SIMI on Tuesday. These details were also submitted to the Supreme Court the next day when the home ministry successfully challenged the tribunal’s order and got a stay.
