Price of Speaking up Against Radical Islam

To defend Taslima Nasreen, sign the below petition by clicking here:

We, the undersigned, are writing to register our strongest protest at yet more death threats made against writer, humanist, secularist and human rights activist Taslima Nasreen. This time, Taqi Raza Khan the president of an Islamic group, the All-India Ibtehad Council, has offered a bounty of about £8,000 for her beheading. This and other clear threats to her life require that the Indian government bring the full force of the law to bear on him and those who threaten and incite murder and terror. Taqi Raza Khan has warned the Indian government that if she is not driven out of India within ten days ‘all hell will break loose’. In fact, it is the other way around. Taslima has every right to freely express her views on Islam and Sharia law and in favour of women’s rights and equality. The Indian government is duty bound to protect her from these threats and grant her the citizenship she requires so that she may live without fear of expulsion.

Taslima Nasreen is a physician, writer, radical feminist, human rights activist and a secular humanist. Her first book of poetry was published in 1986. Her second became a huge success in 1989. Next she started writing about women's oppression. In 1992 she received the prestigious literary award Ananda from West Bengal in India for her Selected Columns, the first writer from Bangladesh to earn that award. Islamic fundamentalists launched a campaign against her in 1990, staging street demonstrations and processions. In 1993, Soldiers of Islam issued a fatwa against her, a price was set on her head because of her criticism of Islam, and she was confined to her house. Taslima has been living in exile. She has written twenty eight books of poetry, essays, novels, and short stories in her native language of Bengali. Many have been translated into twenty different languages.

Khatami, the Darling of the Liberal/Left, in India

The Show Must Go On:

...In the meantime Mohammad Khatami is to continue to perform his role of deceiver, by posing as a moderate. To lead and present the deception the Council found someone photogenic and who smiles a lot. No one can out beam Khatami, except perhaps professional actors, he can turn it off and on like a light, but occasionally, if you watch him closely, flashes of his hatred of the West and India come through. Those are the two main targets of Iran's war effort, the West, Iran's main rival for economic prominence and India as Tehran's way of supporting Pakistan and the people of Kashmir in order to control India's economic future. The India of today under Iran's control tomorrow. The Council basically told Khatami, fool people for as long as you can, but when Iran's foreign policy becomes more obvious your real character will be revealed.

Tehran wants to see if they can repeat Persia's successful invasion of India in the early 18th century. What is now Pakistan was part of Persia then and it was during the invasion Tehran looted a lot of gems, which it added to its collection left over from the first Persian Empire. The collection is part of the Iranian State Treasury housed in the vault of Iran's Central Bank, whose website is linked to Crossfire War. You can view some of the collection by clicking the site's link. Of course, not the entire state treasury has been seen by outsiders, not even by the House of Boucheron, which helped Tehran arrange some of the collection for viewing. The gems are one of the sources of financing for Tehran's foreign policy.

Islamabad has never had this kind of financial support before so of course they are going to take advantage of it, but before the war against India becomes allout the deception campaign continues. Khatami beamed at Delhi when he attended India's Republic Day ceremonies in January 2005. He beamed at the UN when he attended the September 2000 opening in which he spoke and proclaimed 2001 as the year of the dialogue. It was after Iran's 2005 Presidential election that August; Khatami was appointed Head of the Association of Combatant Cleric, as announced on crossfirewar.com, Aug. 8, 2005.

Indian Muslim Group Offers Bounty For Killing Bangladeshi Author

"Inside Islam, a crime of a "vicious tongue" could get you beheaded. This is just another fruit which it produces in the harvest of the 'religion of peace' because they do not respect the freedom of speech, especially if it shines a scrutiny of light upon them and the "religion" they practice..."

A little-known conservative Indian Muslim group has offered a reward of 500,000 rupees (11,319 US dollars) for killing the controversial Bangladeshi author Taslima Nasreen, news reports said Saturday. Taqi Raza Khan, president of the All India Ibtehad Council, said he had ordered the qatal (elimination) of the novelist, who lives in exile in India, in a statement issued in Lucknow, capital of northern Uttar Pradesh state on Friday, the Times of India newspaper reported.

Nasreen, 45, fled from Bangladesh in 1994 after hardline Muslim clergymen said her writings were blasphemous and demanded her execution. The writer, who is also a trained doctor, lived for over a decade in Europe and the United States. She now resides in the eastern Indian city of Kolkata and is seeking permanent Indian citizenship. "Taslima has put Muslims to shame in her writing. She should be killed and beheaded and anyone who does this will get a reward from the council," Khan said in the statement. The All India Ibtehad Council is based in Bareilly, about 240 kilometres north-west of Lucknow. It is said to be a splinter group of the powerful All India Muslim Personal Law Board and was set up four years.
