An IIT-Guwahati student, who had allegedly
pledged allegiance to ISIS and was on his way to join the terror group, was
detained, police said.
The student was nabbed in Hajo area near
Guwahati on Saturday evening.
His apprehension comes four days after ISIS
India head Haris Farooqi alias Harish Ajmal Farukhi and his associate Anurag
Singh alias Rehan were arrested in Dhubri district after they had crossed over
from Bangladesh.

More than a
year ago, I wrote on the site of NAI that ISIS was an idea. Now that idea has
segued into an ideology and whether Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is alive or dead, this
deadly ideology will continue to wreak havoc on mankind.
The above
mentioned two news items aren't discrete but are dovetailed. What's so
fascinating about this sanguinary ideology that an IIT student, who must be
very brilliant, is drawn to it?
Do you ever
get to hear or read that there are such fanatic outfits in other faiths?
Agreed, all faiths are useless, but does Zoroastrianism have a dangerous
faction like ISIS? Though Hinduism is also becoming fanatic, does it have such
a destructive and bloodthirsty organization? Does Christianity have something ghastly
like ISIS? Then why only Islam has such gory outfits like ISIS, Boko Haram,
Al-Qaeda, to name but a few?

The very
ideology of Islam is dangerous and flawed. All these zealots are drawing
inspiration from the same desert-book, called the Quran and most of these
fanatics know Arabic as it's their mother tongue. If they 'misinterpret' and
'misconstrue' a number of 'ambiguous' verses in the Koran, why shouldn't those
violent and equivocal verses be expunged once and for all? Na Rahega Baans,
Na Bajegi Baansuri ! But exegetes and apologists are hell-bent upon their
retention as they erroneously think that the entire Quran is Allah's most
sacred word, therefore, the followers have no right to tinker with it. I'm
afraid, it's not from Allah. Allah cannot be so vague and obscure. It was from
Muhammad and his acolytes. Try to understand this and stop this bloodbath in
the name of Allah, Islam and Quran. That this book holds sway over even the
'educated' IITians and they can go to any length to justify it, speaks Islam's
debilitating and diabolical influence on its followers of all hues.
Sad to say,
Islam is not a religion of peace. It's a religion of piece (pieces of the
bodies of the victims). This is all the more condemnable and ironic that this
grisly attack of ISIS took place in the holiest month of Ramzan!
Mankind has
had of all these bogus faiths. Give the beleaguered humans a semblance of
peace. Do away with all religions along with their gods. But begin it with
Islam.
