1. It was not unexpected. It was not random. If we did not see it coming we were living in fool's paradise. The ghastly beheadings and killings of common Hindus by radicalized common Muslims is THE plan. The message is: Submit to the dictates of Islamists or else!
2. Kanhaiya lal hadn’t posted anything insulting against Islam or the Prophet. He had just supported Nupur Sharma, and he was beheaded for that. This is the extent of Islamist terror that we need to realize. We are under threat because we are not Muslims. #Kanhaiya
3. The plan is to terrorize us into submission. The plan is to threaten the common Hindu that Islam can't be criticized, can't be touched. That Hindus are second-class citizens - dhimmis - and should quietly tolerate the insult of their gods until Hinduism is no more.
4. The plan is to convey the message that it is not just criticism of Islam that we can’t do. The plan is to convey that while the Islamists kill, murder and genocide their way through Hindus in India, the rest of us should remain quiet and wait our turn, or convert.
5. NO State capacity can handle a radicalized population inside its borders. NO atom bomb will save you from the sabre of a fanatic Islamist. It is an ASYMMETRICAL WAR. While we fight with just one arm – State – they fight with all their followers.
6. We won’t even begin to win until we understand this. But for that realization to dawn on a significant number of Hindus we need to spread as much awareness about our ideological enemies as we can. Information about their ideology, religion and modus operandi.
7. We will become safe when every single Hindu will be criticizing the un-criticizable now. When there will be one billion Hindus doing the ‘offending’ it won’t be possible to deal with them all. So that is what we need to do.

1. It is an ASYMMETRIC WAR. We hope to fight with the State – Military, Police and Courts. But they fight EVERYWHERE and with EVERYTHING. We fight one faceted war. While they are fighting TOTAL WAR. That is what we need to understand.
2. What will the army do when it is your maid and your doodhwala who wants you dead for just supporting a woman? What will the police do when it is your everyday customer who wants to behead you? What will the courts do when ‘sar tan se juda’ has already happened?
3. It is an ASYMMETRIC WAR, because the enemy doesn’t fear consequences, legal or otherwise. There is a saying, ‘You can kill anyone in the world, you must just be prepared to die yourself.’ That is what their psyche is. You can’t fight it with the legal machinery only.
There are five pillars of Islam which are considered indispensible for following One True Religion. These are: Shahada (Profession of Faith), Salat (Prayer), Zakat (Alms), Sawm (Fasting), and Hajj (Pilgrimmage).
2. Shahada - the very profession of Islamic faith makes any co-existence with any other religion impossible. "I bear witness that there is no deity but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God." No other form of God is allowed, nor any other prophet.
3. Any possibility of coming together with any other religious community, any rapprochement becomes impossible because it is being declared that all other forms of gods are false gods, and any deity or guru attempting to help anyone is an imposter.
Does general public morality have a place in Islam? As it turns out, it does. Islam is not devoid of morality, and its scriptures are full of moral injunctions, with one significant difference.
2. Morality in Islam is faith based. It is sectarian. There are no universal moral principles in Islam which are applied on everyone. There is always the distinction between the Momin and the Kaffir – the Muslim and the non-Muslim – the believer and the non-believer.
3. “A Muslim owes everything to the ummah, very little to others. He has no obligations, moral or spiritual, toward non-Muslims as part of the human race, except to convert them by sword, spoils and jizyah.” Ram Swarup in ‘Understanding Islam through Hadis’.
It is necessary to understand the Muslim psyche in order to understand the problems of co-existence that all non-Muslim societies encounter with them. The Quran and the Hadith are the sources.
2. Shri Ram Swarup did a deep study for years on these sources and came out with a book called ‘Understanding Islam through Hadis’. Islam is basically a system of law, overarching law which covers all aspects of life. To understand Muslim psyche these laws have to be studied.
3. “Islam is not merely a theology, or a statement about Allah and his relationship with His creatures. Besides containing doctrinal and creedal material, it deals with social, penal, commercial, ritualistic, and ceremonial matters.” It leaves nothing to individual discretion.
1. How Christianity created the lethal blend of Prophetic Monotheism
Hindu View of Christianity and Islam – Part 2
Shri Ram Swarup explains how the lethal blend of Prophetic Monotheism was created by Christianity. Judaism wasn't particular on conversion. Christianity added it.
2. Jesus started his career by trying to become a Jewish prophet. The initial times are marked by his words which seek audience only in Jews. It was only when Jews considered him dangerous enough to bring Roman ire on Israel that he turned his attention to Gentiles.
3. Gentiles were the pagans of Israel/ Palestine of those times. And this change of audience in attention from Jews (monotheistic people) to Gentiles (pagan people) has its marks on the character of Christianity, mainly in the things that it borrowed from both cultures.
Hindus don’t realize but their own religion, culture, society & civilization is interpreted by others. And not just indifferent others. The story of Hindu dharma is being told by its worst enemies: the monotheists.
2. They are enemies because they very clearly and actively seek the destruction of Hindu dharma, Hindu society and the Hindu way of life. In the Christian and Islamic scheme of things, Hindus are the worst sort of beings because they are ‘idolaters’.
3. It is natural for civilizations to have enemies. What is not natural is that Hindus turn against their own benign culture and civilization. That they start seeing Hindu dharma from the Judeo-Christian lens. But this is exactly what has happened.
