He wanted to be in IIT, but ended up in IM instead

[gattaca]

NEW DELHI: With 94% marks in class X and 81 percent in class XII, few could have thought Mohammed Mahruf would end up as a terrorist. His interest in computers could have landed him a corporate job rather than in a jail. His accomplice, Mohammed Waqar scored 80% in class X and 75% in his XII examination, only to get trained in preparing improvised explosive devices (IEDs). These details were revealed by cops of the Delhi Police's special cell whioch arrested these two engineering students from Rajasthan during their operation leading to the arrest of IM's Indian operations chief Tehsin Akhtar alias Monu and Pakistani bombmaker Waqas. "Mahruf and Waqar were bright students. One of them even aspired to study at Indian Institute of Technology but they were brainwashed by IM chiefs from across the border," said a senior officer on Thursday. Waqar Ahmed (21), a resident of Pali in Rajasthan, was very focused on studies initially, police said. To pursue his IIT dream, he even enrolled at a reputed coaching institute at Kota in Rajasthan for one year but he could not clear it following which he took admission in Global Institute of Technology in mechanical stream. Mahruf (23) also had similar credentials. His father is an executive engineer in Rajasthan Electricity Board and they have a parental house in Jhotwara, Jaipur. "After scoring 94% and 81 % in class XII and X, he appeared for Rajasthan pre-engineering test in 2010 and got admission in Vivekanand Institute of Technology in Jaipur in Computer Science stream. He was supposed to pass out this year," the officer said. "Waqar used to frequent Pratapnagar mosque where he was persuaded by the people there to join 'Tablighi Jamat'. At one such Jamat, he met Mahruf -- who had been indoctrinated through Facebook -- and they became friends as they shared common interest in Jehad. He eventually lost interest in studies and failed in 16 papers," he said. Waqar, police said, was looking for a suitable platform. Mahruf got him in touch with Afif who introduced him to Riyaz and Iqbal Bhatkal. "Riyaz told him that Muslims suffered in Gopalgarh riots in 2009 and he should do something to avenge it following which he did a reccee of Gopalgarh," he said. Similarly, the third accused, Shaquib, met Mahruf when the latter had gone to Jodhpur for a function in December 2012. Shaquib later came to Jaipur where he spoke to Afif and Riyaz over phone and they had been in touch since. "It was in May-June 2013 that Mahruf told Waqar that Riyaz had instructed them to buy an android mobile phone for Tehsin Akhtar alias Monu, who was coming to Jaipur. They bought a MAX mobile for Rs 3000 from the local market. Shaquib bought the sim from Jodhpur," the officer said. They also arranged a two-room rented accommodation for Monu and bought some household items. "Waqar identified himself as Haneef, Mehruf as Aftab and Tehsin Akhtar as Sahil," He said. Monu came to Jaipur but after his name was flashed in the media in connection with blasts in Patna at Narendra Modi's rally in October last year, he shifted to Jodhpur with Shaquib's help. After reports that security agencies had tracked Monu to Jodhpur, he fled to Munnar in Kerala where Waqas had been staying. He eventually fled to Nepal and was trying to sneak into Bangladesh when he was tracked down by the special cell sleuths on Kakarbhitta border near Darjeeling.

There should be a strict monitoring of what is being preached inside these Madarsas and Mosques and then just kick the ass of these Mullah nuts who preach hate. Yes, an odd protest will turn into small scale riot but in the end you won't have these terrorist organizations churning out crackhead animals. I don't mind if the same happens to RSS and Hindu org. who do the same thing in their side.

Muslims are a big headache to world peace and security. They have done nothing constructive for the past 100 years, only negativity and destruction.

It is definitely because of lack of trust and suspicion of their own fellow men. So what is your solution, instead of trying to install that trust, play more right wing politics, treat them badly and further alienate them? What a genius solution! Of course, you want more some incidents which will only alienate everyone further. Instead of more awareness and trust built with all our country men

I studied in RSS school, attended RSS shakhas, and big camps of up to 50,000 people gathering when I was a student and I can tell you, there was not once anyone preached us against any religion or asked us to kill muslims or hate muslims. This is nothing more than a propaganda against RSS that they spread hate and I am not an RSS or BJP supporter at all.

This is a common sense line of thinking but rather naive given what has happened in India and elsewhere. There don't need to be more riots or incidents in which muslims are treated badly, for such people to crop up. If nothing else, they can always point to Kashmir or Mumbai or Godhra for next 50 years. The problem is deeper, and it has to do with the way religion is mis-used by political parties, militant groups, pakis etc.

[Alchemist]

Lol. Are we surprised ? They just need a reason. Well, I take it back. They will do it anyway. Unless Muslims themselves don't pick up for themselves, its not going to change. Looking at these riots as a reason to be a terrorist is like Hindus randomly start killing Muslims because 300 years ago Moghuls killed them. Muslims need to stop being cry baby and grow up.

[gslv]

most muslims have a victim complex , they always believe they are persecuted , even when they are not. just look at england. europe is the last place on earth where you can face discrimination. only way you can stop this is counter propangonada. systematic jailing of bad religious is the only way. similar way should be applied in other religion too. this view may look like an orwellian way , but is there any other way, and mind that i hate extremism in all religion. nation is above all. hate both zakir naik and togadia kind alike. society should be delinked from religion. if you are against our constitution you are deserved to be killed barring a single chance, repeat mistake = hanged till death.

Most Madrassas, believe it or not, are simply the better and the cheaper option for people who would other wise have to send their kids to municipal/government schools. In Mumbai ( and Maharashtra) to an extent, its the complete failure of the government is providing decent primary education which has resulted in people having to look for more expensive private schools or the cheaper Madrassas. A fair share of non Muslim kids study in Madrassas too and the Madrassas provide dini taleem ( religious education) and duniyaii taleem (regular education), of which the former is optional. And Madrassas, at least de jure, have their course content regulated by a body which is appointed or approved by the State Government. No denying that there are some rogue Madrassas and crazy preachers, but those are the exception. Not the norm.

Absolutely!! If we are to "right" the historical injustices, it should be the Hindus who should be seriously pissed off. The "minorities" just need to offload their medieval mindset and start thinking progressively.
