Arif Mohammad Khan who might have lost bit of his memory due to the "Iron Rod
Hit" which caused head injury to him as he cries & weeps in his article which
is making him to write things out of context and knowledge.
Losing the balance he accuses SIMI is inspired by the philosophies of
Jamat-e-Islami and tries to project that SIMI is converting Jamat-e-Islami’s
theories into actions, but he forgets to mention tht SIO (Students Islamic
Organization) is the approved Students wing of Jamat-e-Islami.
Since Politics & Media too needs such insane persons, they reward and portray
them as sensible & Productive member of the community. Arif Mohammad Khan,
while pointing at Jamat-e-Islami & other Muslim Organization he lapses to
realize his responsibility towards his community.
Anyway it’s foolish to expect good from the creatures like him, May Allah guide
him and save the Ummah & whole Humanity from all Evils.
Jazakallah Khair.

What is wrong with Jamia?
This is in response to the article titled 'Look who hijacked Jamia' written by
Arif Mohammed Khan, published in Indian Express on 1st October 2008. The
article is full of disinformation and defamatory allegations against a National
Organisation named Jamate Islami and two national bodies, Muslim personal law
board and Muslim Majlise Mushawarat. Arif Mohammed Khan did not even bother to
verify the facts. He was deliberately aiming at posing the above mentioned
bodies of National repute in bad light. It was really shocking to see such a
learned person with an esteemed news paper could commit such a devastating
blunder.
Jamaate Islami was formed in 1941. The activities it has been doing since the
last 67 years is as transparent as an open book kept in the middle of a street.
Crores of rupees and tones of energy have been spent for the upliftment of
marginalized sections of the society in India, especially Muslims.
All India Muslim Personal Law Board was established in 1973 at a time when then
Government of India was trying to subvert shariah law applicable to Indian
Muslims through parallel legislation. It is just a board which consists various
Muslim scholars, aimed at adopting suitable strategies for protection and
continued applicability of 'Muslim Personal Law' i.e; Shariat Application Act
in India. It is not an Organisation with cadres, instead an institution with
certain aims and objectives.
All India Muslim Majlis e Mushawarat (AIMM) which was formed in 1964 is an
umbrella body of all Muslim Organistions and institutions of national eminence.
It aims to protect the identity and dignity of the Muslim community and its
constitutional and Human Rights, specially its Right to Equality, Justice and
security.
Arif Mohd Khan writes in the article: "...attracted by large population, more
than two dozen Muslim outfits have established themselves in this neighbourhood
taking upon then the responsibility to lead and organise the religeous and
social life of the community. They include organisations like Personal Law
Board, Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat and Jamaat-e-Islami. None of these
organisations is known for promoting social reform or education. Most of the
time they are competing with each other in crying wolf and pressing the need to
fight against imagined threats to the Muslim religeon and identity..."
The former union minister could have at least tried to collect the fact that
personal law board and the AIMM had not been established for promoting
education and social reforms! They have their own declared agendas as per their
constitution. As mentioned earlier, since all the three endeavors had been
formed for the fulfillment of different goals and objectives, there had not
been a single instance in the history where these groups had to compete each
other. He also was not able to quote even a single incidence from the history
of these organizations 'fighting against imagined threats to the Muslim
religion and identity'. This style of posing allegations reminds me of hunter
shambu who used to shoot to the bushes closing his eyes to kill his prey!
The works of Jamaat-e-Islami since the last 67 years, in the field of social
reforms, education, financial help to the needy & diseased, home for the
homeless, various health programs, the massive works done at the occasion of
disasters under IRW etc is known to the nation. All these are not being done
for the Muslim community alone, but to the whole of humanity. Apart from all
these, multi crore project known as 'Vision 2016' which is intended to uplift
Muslims socially and educationally especially focusing North India is in its
full swing. Vision 2016 is an ambitious plan to positively transform the social
development landscape of the country. Taking up Education, Health, Employment
Generation and Legal Help as the focus areas, the plan envisages the
establishment of multiple institutions across the country, with a strong backup
of committed volunteers and community leaders The projects are run under
multiple NGOs under the supervision of umbrella
body, the Human Welfare Foundation New Delhi.
The major problem that Arif Mohammed Khan observes in Jamaate Islami is that
"..the students who had organized the blackout and attack belonged to the
Jamaat-e-Islami. It is important to recall that the banned organization, SIMI,
was mostly manned by young activists inspired by philosophies like that of the
Jamaat-e-Islami."
Why didn't Asif Mohammed Khan file a suite or at least give a complaint against
Jamaate Islami if he knows that the people who had bet him in the darkness were
its workers, instead of revealing his confession years after the incident, in
an article?! What wrong impression or confusion does the writer tries to create
while saying "SIMI was inspired by philosophies like that of the
Jamaat-e-Islami."! So was it SIMI or the workers of Jamaate Islami who had bet
him? The writer must have had the least knowledge of the fact that SIMI has
never in the history been the Student Organization of Jamaate Islami!
The ultimate aim of the article is to tarnish the image of Jamia Millia, Jamia
Nagar and dozens of Muslim Organisations which has its office in the area, in
the wake of the fake encounter of two students residing at Batla House. This
massive propaganda being held by the chauvinists using authorities and media is
part of demonizing the cultural identity of Muslim community. The defamatory
campaign against Jamia Millia is the repetition of what has been done to
Madrasa Darul-Uloom Daoband, since the last few months. Jamia Millia, as the
whole country knows, has got a glorious and legendary history of being in the
forefront of the National freedom movement. Through out the history, the campus
has upheld the values of secularism and National commitment and had played
impressive and valuable role in shaping the modern day education.
The people of Jamia Nagar and the students of Jamia Millia Islamiyya will
resist the petty political tactics being played by politicaians including Asif
Khan and days to come will indeed prove the truth. Indeed falsehood is bound to
perish. We urge also the media to follow professional ethics and not to create
and sensationalize issues for exclusive stories. Rather, practice a fair and
balanced journalism.

Arif Mohammed Khan
"And fear tumult or oppression, which affects not in particular only those of
you who do wrong. And know that God is strict in punishment." (Quran, 8.25)
Ibn Katheer commenting on this verse has quoted a Prophetic tradition saying
that "if a people, despite being strong and numerous, do nothing to stop those
men among them who do wrong, then they will be surrounded with punishment".
History is full of instances showing how a small group of people or individuals
by their odious acts have inconvenienced the communities they belong to.
Today the Muslims as a community are passing through a difficult period on
account of the activities of terrorists who shamelessly use religion to justify
their crimes.
A common Muslim, like his compatriots, is busy earning his daily bread and
raising the family. With increased awakening about modern education, good
numbers of Muslim families from rural areas have moved to urban centres to
ensure education for their wards. A casual survey of the families living in
Jamia Nagar will show that the majority of them hail from villages and depend
for their income on rural sources. In many cases it is only the mothers and
children who are living here, while the men spend most of their time in native
places to arrange the necessary means for the family to carry on in Delhi.
Their only concern is a safe and peaceful environment congenial for academic
pursuit.
On the other hand, attracted by this large population, more than two dozen
Muslim outfits have established themselves in this neighbourhood taking upon
them the responsibility to lead and organise the religious and social life of
the community. They include organisations like the Personal Law Board, Muslim
Majlis-e-Mushawarat and Jamaat-e-Islami. None of these organisations is known
for promoting social reform or education. Most of the time they are competing
with each other in crying wolf and pressing the need to fight against imagined
threats to the Muslim religion and identity. Occasionally they also succeed in
securing positions of power for their nominees and this political patronage
helps them to widen their network in the community.
If we look at some important events of the past then an idea can be formed
about the activities and mindset that is promoted by these organisations.
After the official ban on The Satanic Verses, Mushirul Hasan, the present vice
chancellor and then teacher in the history department of Jamia, said in an
interview...
to a weekly that a ban on the book would only boost its sales and increase the
circulation of the objectionable writing. His remarks were not in support of
the book, its contents or the writer, yet they provoked an angry and violent
protest inside the campus. The Muslim outfits worked overtime to instigate and
excite the feelings resulting in a situation where despite continuing on the
rolls of the university Mushirul Hasan could not enter the campus for more than
three long years.
During the war in Afghanistan, public expressions of solidarity with Osama bin
Laden were made and posters in his support were pasted in the area by some
self-appointed champions of Muslim interests. This was done despite the
knowledge that Osama and Al-Qaeda were directly involved in Terror activities
in Kashmir. I remember having met many Muslims from Jamia Nagar who expressed
their utter indignation over the episode and felt sorry for not being able to
oppose these undesirable activities.
In 1990, Prof Mushirul Haq, the vice chancellor of Kashmir University, was
killed by terrorists in Srinagar. Since he was an old teacher of Jamia, his
burial took place inside the campus. As an academician I had held him in great
esteem and during the Shah Bano controversy had sought his opinion on several
occasions. I went to attend his last rites and walked almost a kilometre with
the funeral procession. After reaching the burial ground suddenly the lights
went out and in that darkness I was attacked with an iron rod, causing head
injury. Later, inquiries revealed that the students who had organised the
blackout and attack belonged to the Jamaat-e-Islami. It is important to recall
that the banned organisation, SIMI, was mostly manned by young activists
inspired by philosophies like that of the Jamaat-e-Islami.
The other organisation with headquarters in this area is Muslim
Majlis-e-Mushawarat. On the slightest provocation they would call for a boycott
of celebrations of Independence Day or Republic Day giving rise to communal
tension. It is true that on every occasion they had withdrawn the calls, but
that did not help in lessening the tension.
The most important Muslim organisation operating from the Jamia neighborhood is
the All India Muslim Personal Law Board and its affiliates. During their
agitation against the judgment of the Supreme Court in the Shah Bano case, the
members of AIMPLB made public exhortations to break the legs of Muslims who...
differed with their stand. Their supporters went to the extent of suggesting
that Supreme Court judges are not competent to interpret Muslim personal law.
It is important to recall that during parliamentary discussion of the bill that
was brought in to negate the impact of the Supreme Court judgment, almost every
minister who rose to defend the measure referred to the apprehensions of
threats to law and order arising on account of an aggressive and violent
agitation.
Such activities of these Muslim outfits are as much a source of consternation
to common Muslims as they are to other Indians. Occasionally some Muslims raise
their voice but they lose nerve when they see the political promiscuity and
influence enjoyed by these extremist elements.
The establishment must realise that the police can fight terrorists, not
terrorism. Terrorism can be contained only by a strong political will that
identifies and isolates individuals and organisations promoting a violent
mindset and does not favour them with political patronage.
