1. Subject: A Roja becomes a Slumdog
http://www.vijayvaani.com/FrmPublicDisplayArticle.aspx?id=409Which one is hate and which one is love, Dilip Kumar Mudaliar@A R Rahman?S V Badri25 February 2009This is not to belittle the genius and success of A R Rahman. This is just to connect his recent statement at the Oscars to his background, and to reveal the unknown face Rahman was so clever as to keep under wraps. This is to bring to surface the second Rahman – one who took to hating his natal religion the moment he took to Islam.To the entire world, he is humility personified. He is pious, religious, genius, the very best. So be it.His second Oscar acceptance speech gave him away. It allowed us a sneak preview of the core of Rahman:“All my life I had a choice of hate or love. I chose love, and I’m here”To understand the statement, one must dig into his early life. It shows deeply hidden hatred for Hindus and Hindu Dharma, ever since he converted to Islam.Even I, who had seen him work from very close quarters on two projects in his pre-Roja days, was bowled over by his simplicity and humility. He nurtured this fine art for years to win over many of his producers and the public.The early days of A.S. Dilip KumarHe was born as A.S. Dilip Kumar to R.K. Sekhar and Kasturi (now Kareena Begum) in a Tamil Mudaliar family, the second of three children. His sisters are Kanchana (Rehana after conversion, which resulted in divorce with her staunch Hindu husband), and Fathima.Kanchana’s son, G.V. Prakash, who has shot to fame as a music director having already scored music to many films starting with Veyyil and Rajnikant’sKuchelan, is also a staunch Hindu like his father. G.V. Prakash was the synthesizer player for Chettinad Vidyashram’s music troupe as a nine-year-old when my son, Aditya Kasyap, then in class XI, was the music club secretary and lead singer.R.K. Sekhar (Dilip aka Rehman’s father) was an immensely talented musician, with no real breaks in the film field. He was more a conductor of orchestra for Salil Chowdhary and Devarajan in Malayalam filmdom (Mollywood). Yet his father’s passion for music was so embedded in Dilip’s genes that when he was just four-years-old, he started playing the harmonium. Later he learnt piano under the famous Dhanraj Master. His father gifted him a Synthesizer bought on a trip to Singapore, and this instrument so fascinated young Dilip that it became the source of sounds that would change the Indian film music world later.In an interview, he says: “My father passed away when I was 9 years old. My mother used to narrate many tales about my father which used to make me very happy. My father was regarded to be highly knowledgeable in music by many people. I still listen to many of the old songs tuned by him. I think that it’s his enormous knowledge of music that has come down to me by the grace of God.”Sekhar died ironically on the day of the release of his first film. Young Dilip had tagged along with his mother, hopping from one hospital to other, including CMC, Vellore, and to Bible-toting pastors and Sheik Abdul Qadir Jeelani (Pir Qadri), but it was too late…He became an atheist. When 11 years old, he joined as keyboard player in Ilayaraja’s troupe, struggled hard and slowly made a name with his popular jingles. His loss of faith in God continued through his teens when in 1988 one sister fell seriously ill. Medicines, havans and Bible-reading pastors failed to revive her. The family finally tried the same Pir Qadri, whom they called very late in the case of Sekhar. Dilip’s sister made a miraculous recovery. This was attributed to the Pir and Dilip slowly came under his influence. Gradually, the entire family converted to Islam; Kanchana even accepted divorce as the price of conversion.Thus A.S. Dilip Kumar became Allah Rakha Rahman. Today, Rahman says “Islam has given me peace. As Dilip I had an inferiority complex. As A.R. Rahman I feel like I have been born again” [http://members.tripod.com/gopalhome/arrbio.html]Asked what prompted him to convert to Islam, he said: “I remember my father suffering. He was taken to eight to nine hospitals, including the CMC hospital in Vellore and the Vijaya hospital in Madras. I saw him suffering physical pain... I remember the Christian priests who would read from the Bible beside his hospital bed... I remember the pujas and the yagnas performed by the pundits... by the time the Muslim pirs came it was too late. He had already left us. After my father passed away, for some years when I was a teenager, I believed there was no God. But there was a feeling of restlessness within me. I realised that there can be no life without a force governing us... without one God. And I found what I was looking for in Islam. I would go with my mother to dargahs. And Pirsaab Karim Mullashah Qadri would advise us. When we shifted to this house, we resolved to stick to the faith.”The family’s penchant to check with astrologers did not desert them even after converting to Islam; an astrologer chose Dilip’s Islamic name! He gave him the name Abdul Rahman, but insisted that he should have two initials, so he became Abdul Rahman Rahman. Later, Naushad turned ‘A.R.’ to Allah Rakha, and Dilip Kumar became Allah Rakha Rahman.It is reputed that G. Venkateshwaran of GV Films and his brother Mani Ratnam had some misunderstanding with Illayaraja, and that is how Rahman was picked for Roja; the rest is history.A Roja becomes a slumdog - Hate vs. Love“All my life I had a choice of hate or love. I chose love, and I’m here.”Was the Oscar stage was so intoxicating that the truth had to come out? Dilip alias Rahman must explain what ‘hate’ is and what ‘love’ is. Does he mean that Hindu Dharma is ‘hate’ and that is why he deserted it; that Islam is ‘love’ and that is why he embraced it? Could he achieve these musical heights in any of the known Islamic paradises now blooming in the neighbourhood? Above all, is not this music itself the gift of Hindu Bharat?A colleague and Rahman apologist mumbled that the musical wonder actually meant ‘Wahabi Islam’ when he spoke about ‘hate,’ and that ‘love’ referred to Sufi Islam – I am too old for such stories. If that is indeed what Rahman meant, then that is what he should have said – that too at a moment when he had the whole world’s attention, and adulation.Tail PieceIt is pertinent to recall that in the immediate aftermath of Partition, the Peshawar-born and immensely talented Yusuf Khan took the film name Dilip Kumar to deflect possible non-acceptance by a Hindu audience. In the same era, however, Waheeda Rahman boldly stuck to her maiden name, and proved that Hindu Bharat was above petty prejudice and openly nurtured talent.Certainly Dilip-Rahman deserves his success. But I am disappointed with his ‘hate’ versus ‘love’ acceptance speech. This was actually the moment for him to say Vande Mataram. 2. MY Take:A funny thing happened to Dilip Kumar Mudaliar, he found Allah's wonder-wuzzby. Consumed with stress, this mixed-up screw is mistaking Islam's abuse for love. More power to Dilip Kumar Mudaliar. Jai HO ! Surinder Paul Attri

ISLAM’S PITILESS BRUTALITY
By S.P. Attri ( USA )
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. For a Non-Moslem Kafir, it is difficult to visualize the Moslem’s capacity for blind-terror. In Iran, women ( especially if they are single women ) are lashed fifty times, for being present at a family gathering, where men other than their father & brother are present. Their crime ? They are single women. It is forbidden for single women to be present under the same roof with men. Many such women live in constant terror.
Uncounted number of such women of all ages, are the target of a barbaric ordeal in the Islamic societies today, and throughout the history of Islam.
Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Khomeini, says:
"A man can marry a girl younger than nine years of age, even if the girl is still a baby being breastfed. A man, however is prohibited from having intercourse with a girl younger than 7, other sexual act such as forplay, rubbing, kissing and having pleasure is allowed..."
2. The fanatic barbarians of Islam, regard these punishments of women, as honorable, manly, and sacred duty of Moslems.
During the last three decades, Middle East has witnessed an escalating witch-hunt, which has spread terror among writers, novelists, film-directors, artists, & intellectuals, who criticize the use of abuse in Islam. They have been accused of blasphemy & apostasy, and of spreading unbelief. They have been censured, sued for libel, and jail-sentenced routinely. In the Middle-East, Israel remains the " only oasis of modernity & democracy, " while Moslem countries remain fortresses of authoritarian regimes.
Sharia is the legal system in Moslem countries, it is the legal code. Under this legal system, women & minorities are deprived of human rights. Women are totally deprived of fulfilling their potential. Moslem pressure is underway, for the introduction of Sharia in both Europe & USA. Fear of application of Sharia in Europe & USA is real. Under Sharia, gays are to be slaughtered, and women are to be considered inferior, and honor-killing of women would proliferate, and polygamy would grow under the codes of Sharia. Human rights, women’s rights, & minorities rights do not exist under Sharia. Sharia brings in slavery.
3. Moslems are in the middle of no-where. They have been hostages of their own belief system. Prof. Hutington talks about " clash of civilizations. " But it is the Moslems who began the clash of civilizations, by dividing the world into Moslems & Kafirs ( Non-Moslem Infidels ). Islam compares Kafirs to apes & pigs, and calls for killing of Kafirs. This murder is committed as a command from Allah. This murder is specific to Islam, and satisfies the wild bestial instincts of barbarian Moslems.
Islam is a very dangerous belief system. It preaches the destruction of other belief systems. Moslems do not realize that they are inside their prison of Islam. Many people suggest the reformation of Islam. They argue that criticism of Islam again & again, will force the Moslems to look at their religion. They insist that we need to help the Moslems to get used to criticism of Islam.
Such suggestions are naïve at best. Islam is a political ideology that, applies its ideology by force. In Islam there are no moderates. In Islam, you have to accept all teachings of Islam, otherwise you are not a Moslem. Because of this rigidity, Islam cannot be reformed. Islam is more likely to be crushed, with use of force & force-multipliers of modern societies.
4. Jewish theolgian, Franz Rosenzweig, qualified Islam as a parody of revealed religion. Superficially, Islam mimics Judaism more than Christianity. Moslems pray five times a day, Jews pray three times. Males are circumcised in both Islam & Judaism. A similar dietary codes ( Halal/Kosher ) prevails in both Islam & Judaism. But as opposed to Judaism, Islam never rid itself of the most barbaric practices, of the primitive world, even in the 21st century. The primitive world persist inside Islam, under the Abrahamic veneer.
But Islam does parody Christianity as well. Unlike Judaism, which seeks to separate Israel, from the practices of the surrounding people, Christianity tries to incorporate all of humanity, into the New People Of God ( their God, the Christian God ). Likewise Islam tries to impose its Islamic religion, universally on all people of the world, and accepts no point of departure from this imperialist attitude. Thus both Islam & Christianity carry this baggage, of imposition of their religion, on the entire world.
Thus it is absurd to propose that, Islam parodies only Judaism. Islam is a ludicrous parody of Christianity equally well.
5. Because Islam touts itself as a religion of peace, and because historical record of Islam does not support this claim, a question may logically be asked.
Does Islam promote barbarism or suppresses it ?
To answer this question, even a cursory look at a vast collection of Hadiths ( sayings of Hazrat Mohammad ), would reveal that:
There is explicit support of female genital mutilation, wife-beating, and slaughter of Kafirs inside these Hadiths. Thus such barbaric acts of Islam persist, because of Islam, and not despite Islam.

CLASH BETWEEN FREEDOM AND SLAVERY
By S.P. Attri ( USA )
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Prof. Huntington calls the fight between the West & Islam, as the clash of civilizations. But Islam cannot be called civil, Islam is slavery, even though most of the Moslems are not aware of this fact. They are totally unable to either ignore or outgrow the heinous teachings of Islam. To properly phrase Prof. Huntington’s thesis, it is a clash between Freedom & Slavery.
A Moslem minus his Islam may be good, but then what is a Moslem without his Islam ?
Many Hindus are under the grand-illusion that, if Moslems are told of their Hindu ancestry, they will unite with Hindus. What kind of poppy-cock is this ? As if the Moslems of India don’t know that their ancestors were Hindus !
The problem is that Quran " categorically " rules out " any Moslems association with Kafirs ( Non-Moslem Infidels ). Period. Thus a true Moslem can be loyal only to a Moslem. Whatever the level of his awareness of his Hindu ancestry, a devout Moslem who abides by each & every word of Quran, cannot befriend a Kafir. This fact is sedulously drilled by Mullahs into the minds of the Moslems. Ordinary Moslems do not know too much about, what Quran or Hadis says. As a result their Mullahs & other imbecilic Ulema wield vast powers over them, who treat their Moslem followers as their slaves. To them the eighth century Arabia is not just the model but a mould. Mullahs can bring down ferocious penalties on those who dare disregard the edicts of Quran. The Mullahs & other Ulema control not only the mosques, but also the Madrassas & Maktabs. They can enforce these edicts through parastatal terrorism, and no Moslem can dare forget its lethal potential.
2. Islamic teachings enable the Moslem male to not only lord over his Moslem woman, but also keep her inside the Purdah ( the Hijab ). Justice for all, male & female, and for minorities, is Totally denied in Islam. Mullahs & Ulema are propagating & perpetrating this barbarism, over a wide scale in the life of a Moslem. Quran openly advocates killing of Kafirs, and the rhetoric of Mullahs becomes powerful & shrill. They are committed to the core ( of this barbarism). It is imperative that Kafirs be aware of the multi-pronged attack of Islam, against the forces of freedom & liberty in our world.
It is not difficult to pierce through the fraud of Islam. Like a drum, Islam looks solid, but is hollow inside ( it is called Dhol Ka Pol ). Before Islam, Arabian societies were free, rational & tolerant. These values exist in Arabia no more…no more. In place of these values, Islam has substituted Sharia Law ( if you don’t call Sharia Law as barbarism, you would surely be misnaming it ! ), Fatwa Courts & Mullah-Rule ( these damn Mullahs must be held responsible for the stagnation of the Moslem societies ), with penalties for blasphemy & apostasy. There is wide-spread suppression of women, and practices of female circumcision, honor-killing, forced-veiling ( the damn Hijab ) and bigotry towards the hateful-Kafirs.
3. Moslems are trapped inside the prison-camp of Islam, even though they neither realize nor recognize the whimsical & thoughtless attitude of the Allah of Quran. They are kept inside this prison by the authoritarian control of the Islamic-Clergy, and by the rigid structure of orthodoxy. There is no free or scientific enquiry in Islam, nor is there any cross-cultural exchange with the outside world of Kafirs.
Moslems are told that Allah would forgive all sins, except the sin of disbelief ( Quran4:48 & 4: 16 ). But if you commit the sin of thinking & questioning Islam, you would find that Islam is not at all a religion of truth, and that Islam is hollow like a drum, is full of lies & deceit, and that it is the hallucination of a sick mind ( hallucination of Sickie Hazrat Mohammad ).
4. Hazrat Mohammad claims to be a messenger of God ( Allah ), but instead of being a saint, this hill-billy was a lusty, lecherous, sexual pervert, a highway robber, and a mass murderer. He was a gangster godfather, who raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations, and their enslaved Kafir women & children. He raped women captured in war, after killing their husbands, and told his followers that it is O.K to have sex with their captives and their " right hand possessions ( Quran 33: 50 ) ." He assassinated those who criticized him, and became the De Facto Despot of Arabia. As a narcissist, he believed that, he is entitled to do as he pleased, and commit all sorts of crimes & evil deeds.
Mohammad produced no miracles, and when pressed, he claimed that his miracle is the Quran. But Quran is full of errors, scientific heresies, historical blunders, mathematical mistakes, logical absurdities & grammatical errors. There is nothing intelligent in the book of Quran, let alone miraculous. Quran is a book of fiction, a book of false doctrine, it is a gospel of hate & terror. Quran is the stupidest, the most backward, and the most absurd belief system.
