SABHA - 4M Report Arvind Kumar, 17 Dec 2005

Your regular dose of pseudosecularism

  1. Harvard Professor: DNA evidence is Hindu conspiracy!

    According to Harvard Professor Michael Witzel, scientific evidence against the creationism based Aryan Invasion Theory is a Hindu conspiracy!

    A few months back, Science magazine published a paper that disproves the Aryan Invasion Theory. You can read about that paper here.

    The research shows that there was only a single dispersal from Africa, via a southern coastal route, across the mouth of the red Sea, through India and onward into Southeast Asia and Australasia. There was subsequently a northern offshoot from the Gulf region, leading ultimately to the settlement of the Near East and Europe, but this only occurred much later.
    However, this turns out to be wrong. According to the Harvard Professor who supports theories based on Biblical creationism, this is nothing but a conspiracy hatched by Hindus!
    Witzel claimed the changes were motivated by "Hindutva" forces and would "lead without fail to an international educational scandal if they are accepted by the California's State Board of Education."
    Hindus had suggested changes in textbooks based on this paper to California's State Board of Education. According to another "scholar" named James Heitzman who was on the "Super Review Team" to assess the facts placed by Hindus, the "undecayed body of Saint Francis Xavier" is actually a miracle! And Islam began when "Muhammad received visions in which the Archangel Gabriel revealed the word of God to him." Heitzman also states that Hinduism is based on speculations.

    The activists led by Michael Witzel were also planning to contact BBC and make them take off the section on Hinduism that stated that the Aryan Invasion Theory "was not just wrong, it included unacceptably racist ideas." Apparently, they temporarily succeeded in their efforts to foil the Hindu conspiracy to plant DNA evidence when BBC pulled down the page for two days, but the page was restored after BBC received complaints from people who believed in DNA evidence.

  3. CPI: Volcker Report is an imperialist conspiracy

    According to the Communist Party of India, the Volcker Report is actually an "imperialist" conspiracy to defame the friends of Saddam Hussein.
    The CPI, along with CPI(M), had been strong supporters of Natwar Singh's continuance in the government so far and had dubbed the controversy arising out of the Volcker report as an "imperialist" conspiracy.


  4. British flock to India to be exploited!

    Guardian reported that workers in India were being exploited by being paid more money. Now the unbelievable has happened! British workers are flocking to India in search of exploitation!
    In a remarkable reversal of the outsourcing that has seen thousands of jobs lost in the UK, telesales operations are looking to fill a skills gap in the east with young Britons willing to work on Indian wages.


  5. American Christians worship Truck Tailgate

    Christians in America started worshipping the tailgate of a truck after a face appeared in the dirt on the tailgate.
    An image on a truck tailgate has sparked a new wave of religious pilgrims in Texas.

    Portraits of Jesus Christ and a table full of candles surround what some are calling a miraculous image.

    Believers say the face of Jesus is visible in the dirt on the tailgate.

    Meanwhile, another miracle is said to have occurred when the words 'Wash Me' appeared in the dirt on many cars!

  6. First signs of Australian intifada

    Muslims who claimed ownership of an Australian beach attacked two lifesavers and sparked off violence in Australia.
    One of them said to his [19-year-old] friend: 'Get off our beach'. They said: 'We are here to protect you, to save you from drowning', then my son's friend got hit."

    Within a minute, Donna said, both young men were being punched by up to 16 men, who attacked a third member of the club, aged 15, who tried to stop the fight.

    A few months back, Pakistanis who were charged with gang rape defended themselves by claiming that their Islamic culture made them do it.

    However, we learn from the Canadian media that Australians are to blame for harassing women and that no one attacked the lifesavers on the Sydney beach!

    Islamophobia is growing rapidly in Australia in that it is now not uncommon to see white male Australians abusing Muslim women (wearing the Hijab or headscarf) in buses, on beaches and on the streets of Australia?s big cities. ?Aussie? males are real machismos when it comes to women. It should be noted that insulting or harassing Muslim women wearing the hijab is not an offence in Australia, as this considered part of the Bush-Howard mission of ?liberating? Muslim women.
    . . .
    The racially motivated violence, which has been boiling for sometimes is misleadingly portrayed in the media as ?the local boys trying to protect their beach and community?. It is also alleged that the violence is in retaliation to a rumours that Muslim youths assaulted two lifeguards earlier this month.


  7. Update on Pakistani Science and Technology

    Islamic Republic of Pakistan is fast catching up with the rest of the world in Science and Technology. They now have the ability to name cyclones! The name of the recent cyclone (fanoos) in the Bay of Bengal was actually given by Pakistan.

    There is also a new film describing the making of Pakistan's 'Islamic bomb.' Rudradev's Dr. Estrangelove, which has been produced by Channel Phor Productions Inc., documents traces the life story of Dr.A.Q.Khan and describes the secrets of Pakistan's nuclear program.
