Everyone knows that India is a target of Islamic terrorism right? Listening to the news hype or the blog conversations on pro-hindu sites (that’s not an insult btw), you can’t help but feel that the Muslim extremists are taking over India and bombing innocent men, women and children all over the place every day. But there’s one teensy little problem with this scenario.
Islamic terrorism makes up less than 9% of all terror incidents in India! And almost all of it is in the Kashmir region.
Now that can’t possibly be true right? I mean what about all the terrorist blasts in 2009 in the rest of India? Except that there were none. Yup, that’s right. Not one damn terrorist attack in India in 2009 outside of Kashmir that we can attribute to Islamic fanatics.
How do I know this? While researching data for a reply to a blog comment – see, I do the research :) – I found that the US government has set up a worldwide terrorism tracking system which gives a wealth of information regarding terrorist attacks globally. It’s free, publicly accessible, and users can filter by country, date range, type of terror attacks, casualties, groups responsible, location within the country, generate heat maps, get victim data and many more options and you can mix n match to get the exact info you’re looking for.
It turns out, that the majority of terror attacks in India is carried out by the Naxals. Here is the complete map of terrorism in India in 2009. A total of 703 attacks.
Terror attacks in India - 2009
When you filter by “Islamic Extremism”, the map changes to this with the number dropping to just 63. I got a bit of a shock on seeing this really.
Islamic Terrorism in India - Where is it?
Ouch..where are all the Islamic bombings? You know, the “terrorists” which our government is trying so hard to save us from. The terrorism which has every citizen in India in a funk afraid of their own shadow. It’s in the damn Naxal belt that’s where – go get em!
But please stop this crap about Islamic militants. Yeah, it happens now and then but hardly kills anyone. Not that we Indians particularly care about lives being lost. Otherwise we would have done something about train accidents in India which have already killed 285 people in this year alone.
Of course, this robs people of the satisfaction of blaming all violence in India on the Muslims. Hopefully at least some people will take note.
The real Myth is that mohamad was a prophet of God and that the quran was his spoken words
Dickwad you really did not respond to all the bombings and killings by muslim pigballsuckers listed and posted by oneDHARMAmovement. what can you say? lets see what the count will be in another 2 years. go ahead try to justify the destruction caused by this “religion”.

OPEN SEASON — STUCK MOJO
Another Muslim apologist. I don’t see why the cases should be negated or why the threat is not there just because it is constricted to the places mentioned. In Islam, a non-Muslim is an infidel. That is why there are acts of terrorism in every part of the world and it is no co-incidence that the terrorists are mostly Muslims. The classic MF Hussain argument. Try drawing a naked or even a pic of their prophet. It is a religion of barbarians and the Quran is nothing but a politically motivated text. It is just that some Muslims are sensible enough not to buy into that crap. They still wont speak against terrorism and in fact most of them support it because of the political nature of Islam.
What can I say? Naxal terrorism kills farmore people and should be the biggest threat to India. Simple math.
Bhagwad good research, no human is evil and a terrorist when born, it is his or her up bringing and surrounding what makes him or her. to an extent i feel islam or the followers of it are on a wrong track. this country has been already raped by the Moguls and the Britishers for many decades, the people of this country have, will and should not forget and forgive this. If that one mistake would have not been made our country would have been a super power by now.
The mistake of allowing the muslims to stay back in this country, they should have been asked to go to their so called pakistan. their would have been a lot of blood shed in both the countries at that time but it would have been for the last time. Today’s pakistan would not have dared to even stare at India “Bharat” and even if they had our country or politics would not have hesitated to take a stern step.
Jai Hind, Jai Bharat
The conditions are going to be very bad and scary in coming years. Taking into account the mob which created havoc at CST – destroyed the Amar Jawan Jyoti, the number of mob-people who gathered for supporting Owasis speech. Not all of the muslims in this country are to be blamed but the number of them who are real mental-religiously mad is threatening. I didnot see a single politician condemning about the destruction of Amar Jawan Jyoti, not even heard a single work from MNS chief Raj Thakre !
This country is in real danger of getting attacked from outside and inside, we are on brink of that and the day is not far this will happen.The hindus will be butchered to a end and the country will come to the worst economic level. The hindus will sit back in their home with their families as they will never get down on the road and meet their own end. So get and be prepared for the assult.
Bhagwad mentioned in somewhere here
“Jesus himself tells people to follow the barbaric old testament in clear terms. Over there, all these lovely things happen – rape, murder, sex with children, incest, torture, loot.
As for bathing eating, sleeping etc, the Bible lays down detailed rules in a chapter called “Leviticus.” Amongst them is a rule even saying you should kill your neighbor if you find them working on Sunday! It talks about what to do with women having their periods, what they should wear, how to discipline children and what not.”
You clearly didn’t read the bible correctly. The Mosaic Law in Old testament is a collection of over 600 statements which is meant for the welfare of Jews ONLY, and it did not encourage forced conversion. It prohibited rape, murder, incest (specifically a whole 18th chapter in Leviticus) and have a huge impact on the present day conservative christian values. Jews where given special consideration by Jehovah due to the promise he maid with the righteous Abraham. The primary reason why they had a system of laws and regulations was to keep them free from superstitious practices and false worship. Later, they would receive the Promised Land as an inheritance, with the assurance of divine help against their enemies. Their part of the covenant called on the Israelites to keep Jehovah’s Law. The Israelites willingly accepted this condition, saying: “All that Jehovah has spoken we are willing to do.” However later they failed to keep the covenant and therefore the special relationship opportunity was expanded to all people who believe in Jesus. Jesus give principles behind the Mosaic law rather than emphasizing any specific law. For example he said whoever look to a women with a desire to have sex commits adultery in his heart. Also the bible explicitly teaches no matter what religion or race people come from God is impartial to whoever walk righteously. It also says all people who died in past unless they were wicked will be given a second chance by resurrection on this same earth were a paradise will be restored.
The bottom-line is the Bible never encourages violence towards innocents. I agree that the Christians and Jews regardless deviated a lot from the Bible and is responsible for huge amount of Sin. However through out the centuries there has been sincere people who struggled to follow what Jesus’ said. A modern day example is Jehovah’s Witnesses.
You’re making the mistake of thinking the bible is consistent. Sure, Jesus said nice stuff but that doesn’t detract from the fact that there’s also a lot of horrible things in there too.
