Slideshow in praise of ISIS surfaces in Kashmir in new

[Mukunda Murthi Rao]

Srinagar, May 12 (PTI) An audio slideshow in which Hizbul Mujahideen militant commander Zakir Moosa is purportedly speaking about establishing an Islamic caliphate in Kashmir has gone viral in the Valley.

The 5.40-minute long clip also warns separatist leaders of Kashmir not to meddle in the move to set up a caliphate in Jammu and Kashmir along the lines of the rule established by the ISIS in parts of Syria and Iraq.


There was no immediate confirmation about the source or authenticity of the audio.

But if the voice is that of Moosa, it may signal a worrying turn in Kashmirs insurgency. The movement so far has largely been about independence or annexation with Pakistan, without emphasising Islam or connecting it to jihad.

The Hizbul Mujahideen is nearly as old as the Kashmiri militancy which started in 1989. The group is made up almost entirely of local youths, and had always campaigned for joining Pakistan.

In the clip, the speaker asks separatists to either fight along with militants in the field or refrain from making statements about the armed struggle.

The clip surfaced after a recent move by Hurriyat leaders to downplay fears of the growing influence of the ISIS in the Valley.

Earlier this week, Hurriyat leaders Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Mirwaiz Umer Farooq and Yaseen Malik issued a joint statement in which they claimed that the Kashmir struggle had nothing to do with the ISIS, Al-Qaida and other such organisations.

In a statement today, Hizbul Mujahideen supreme commander Syed Sallahuddin also said there was no place for groups such as ISIS, Al-Qaeda or the Taliban in Jammu and Kashmir.

"This movement is purely local and indigenous. It has no international agenda. Al Qaeda, Daesh or Taliban have no involvement or role in Kashmir," he said.

The Urdu-language slideshow includes stills and quotes of jailed Indonesian national Abu Bakar Bashir and Yemeni resident Anwar al-Awlaki -- seen as the brains behind ISIS and Al-Qaeda activities.

Senior police officials believed it was Moosas voice in the slideshow and said the banned ISIS terror group could be trying to create a base in the Valley.

Last month, two masked gunmen appeared at the grave of a Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist in Pulwama during which they asked the gathering to follow the rules laid down by the Taliban and ISIS, and not support or raise slogans in favour of Pakistan.

For over three minutes, they spoke about pan-Islamisation and the importance of having Shariat as a law and fled after firing shots in the air.

Militant outfits including the United Jehad Council, a conglomerate of terror outfits based in Azad Kashmir, as well as separatists were quick to downplay the incident but security officials viewed it with more seriousness.

Security agencies felt that if the growing influence of ISIS was not checked, it could adversely affect the already precarious situation in the Valley.

They said chats and contacts between Kashmiri youth and possible handlers in Syria and Iraq had grown in the last six months.

There was no specific information about the Internet users other than the fact that they were from villages in South Kashmir, Sopore in North Kashmir, Prang and Lar in Central Kashmir as well as Reasi, Kishtawar and Doda areas of Jammu region, the agencies said.

During the recent protests across the Valley, ISIS flags were waved in some areas. Slogans supporting the banned terror outfit were also up on some walls.

The Indian Army has also been worried about the growing influence of the ISIS ideology on the Valleys youth. A study last year showed that six out of 10 young Kashmiris were watching videos of controversial Islamic preacher Zaki Naik or other jehadi videos.PTI SKL MIJ VJ BDS

A top Hizbul Mujahideen leader has threatened to behead separatist Hurriyat leaders for calling Kashmir a political struggle instead of a religious war for the creation of an “Islamic state”.

The threat is believed to be the first against the Hurriyat leadership who are acknowledged to represent the political views of a section of Kashmiris and had earlier held talks with the state and central governments many times.

The message was delivered through a video clip which contained a montage of slides showing Islamic quotes about Islam and Sharia. The person who is heard in the clip is not shown. He did not identify himself but is believed to be of local Hizbul Mujahideen commander Zakir Musa.

Calling Hurriyat leaders “hypocrites, infidels, followers of evil”, the militant warned to chop off their heads “if they create hurdles in the path of making Kashmir an Islamic state”.

The militant also said the heads will be hanged in Lal Chowk in Srinagar, an area known as the nerve centre of anti-India protests. The clip appeared two days after militants suspected to be from the HM abducted and killed an army officer on leave in Shopian.

In a joint statement issued a few days ago, hardline Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani and two moderates -- Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Yasin Mallik -- had said the freedom struggle in Kashmir has nothing to do with ISIS or al Qaeda.

Kashmir unrest: Hurriyat fears religion may overrun struggle as militants seek Islamic caliphate
Firstpost • May 09, 2017 18:49 IST

By Sameer Yasir



Srinagar: Invoking Islam to lend moral legitimacy to the armed insurgency against New Delhi used to be the forte of Kashmir's separatist leaders over the last three decades. But two recent developments are indicating that the outdated narratives of religiosity to defend the political upheaval in the Valley may be changing for good.

A day after Zakir Musa, who took over the reins of Hizbul Mujahideen from Burhan Wani, called for establishing Islamic caliphate in Kashmir, stating that militants were not fighting for "freedom", the unified Hurriyat Conference, in a strong, indirect rebuttal, said those fighting for the imposition of Islamic rule have nothing to do with the "freedom movement".

A statement by the top Hurriyat trio led by Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Yasin Malik said "terror organisations" like Islamic State and Al Qaeda have nothing to do with the "movement" in Kashmir, and they are practically nonexistent in the Valley. The leaders said the ongoing ‘freedom struggle’ is indigenous and "terrorism" and "freedom movement" are poles apart.

The Hurriyat’s statement is significant as the militant organisations fighting in Kashmir have been off late calling for imposing Islamic rule in the Valley. "Our movement has nothing to do with these world level groups and practically they are nonexistent in the state. There is no role for these groups in our movement," a statement issued by the group on Monday said.

The leaders said Indian agencies are "desperate to malign our movement" and under a well thought out plan are drawing their policies to bring a bad name to the ongoing freedom struggle in Kashmir.

"Delhi and its authorities are frustrated and have launched well planned psychological war against freedom movement. Last year’s people's uprising unnerved them and as such, they are very desperate to overcome their frustration and desperate to sabotage movement through its agencies," they said.

Without mincing words, the Hurriyat leaders said it will be premature to determine the political destiny of the state of Jammu and Kahsmir since it is the majority that will decide the political discourse in the state.

On Saturday Zakir Musa, who operates mainly out of south Kashmir, also urged the female student protesters to abandon stone-pelting and stay in classrooms, shocking netizens.

"I want to tell the sisters that whatever you are doing is against Sharia (Islamic ruling) as pelting stones without veil is unIslamic. In Islam, there are no such protests and that is why Allah is punishing us in the form of occupation," Zakir said in an audio message.

"It is hurting our movement for establishing Islam because due to this (protests by girls) we can be punished by Allah. So, we request all our sisters to stay away from these acts and be inside their houses," he said.

The Hizb commander also apologised for one of his associates recently praising Pakistan Army chief General Raheel Shareef and Organisations of Islamic States, saying the General was not their commander-in-chief, as remarked by one of his associates in a video message recently. "I regret this. He had said this by mistake and he too has apologised for this."

There has been an age-old debate in Kashmir, since the inception of militancy, on whether religion should play a dominating role in asking for political rights from the Indian State. People from different ideological underpinnings have often argued that although religion can’t be separated from the political struggles but it should not take the leading role.

In Kashmir, a section of the populace have always been wary of mixing religion with the Kashmir’s "freedom struggle". They have been arguing that although religion can used for the inspirational role but it should become the focal point.

Recently, everyone was surprised when a group of militants appeared near the grave of Hizbul Mujahideen militant Naseer Pandit on his first death anniversary in Pulwama district, warning the people against supporting “un-Islamic Pakistan” while seeking support for the Taliban.

The suspected militants told people not to hoist "un-Islamic Pakistan flag" calling for a "jihad" against Pakistan as well as India to establish Ummah, or Muslim brotherhood, transcending geographies.

“India is a tyrant state today and will remain one tomorrow. It has to go from Kashmir. We will be successful only when we unite for Islam. We love Pakistan only because it was created in the name of Islam. But there is no Islam in today’s Pakistan. We have to do Jihad in Pakistan, just like in India,” said one of the militants.

He called for Sharia law to be implemented in Kashmir. "We have not stood up for any organisation or Pakistan, but Islam,” said the speaker. This is in contrast with the traditional stand of Hizbul Mujahideen and Lashkar-e-Taiba, the two major militant outfits in Kashmir. The speaker said: “We have taken up guns for Islam, not any nation. We want Islamic system, the system of Quran… And for that, give your blood, life and property.”

Monday's statement by Hurriyat will ruffle many feathers, but it seems they have now understood that it is better to distance from political movements led by religious ideologies and to keep political movement in Kashmir independent of any religious underpinnings.

Hizbul Mujahideen's Zakir Musa vs Hurriyat: Terrorists should not be allowed to set the agenda for Kashmir

Hizbul Mujahideen commander Zakir Musa’s threat on Friday to the separatist Hurriyat leaders that they would be beheaded if they continued to describe Kashmir as a "political struggle" instead of an "Islamic uprising" may have gone viral in the social media, but in the process both the nature and the limited extent of the insurgency in the Kashmir Valley have been exposed. Unfortunately, this important aspect has not been properly taken note of by the chest-thumping "Kashmir experts" who will like the rest of the world to believe that the Kashmir Valley has been irretrievably alienated from the national mainstream because of Narendra Modi in Delhi and Mehbooba Mufti in Srinagar.

In my considered view, these chest-thumping experts should read a report in The Indian Express and an opinion piece by a serving IPS officer in Jammu and Kashmir in the Hindustan Times to realise that the secessionist terrorists in the valley are a tiny minority (some of them are not even Indians) and that they must not be encouraged to set the agenda for the entire state of Jammu and Kashmir.

Zakir Musa and his Pakistani masters have resorted to the typical terrorist strategy of "injecting fears" in the minds of people and then influencing a gullible media to overplay the incident. However, the fact remains that people under threats may carry on the dictates (like the Kashmir Valley gets shut down whenever there is a call for the "bandh"), but that does not mean that the ordinary Kashmiris support the separatists. On the other hand, in the process, the Hurriyat leaders have been trapped. So far the four main militant groups in Kashmir — Hizbul Mujahideen; Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT); Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM); and Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM) — collaborated with the Hurriyat leaders, who, in turn, had great friends and admirers in the Delhi establishment – media, think tanks, universities, NGOs and some leaders in every established political parties.

Though it has been widely well known that the separatists are first and foremost "Islamists" and biggest enemies of the valley’s age-old Sufi tradition or Kashmiriyat (the philosophy of coexistence), their friendship with the Delhi establishment was based on the notion that the Kashmiris needed to preserve their autonomy. But once the focus shifts from autonomy to religion, the nature of the political parlance will change and that may not be in their interests. Besides, it will further expose their extremely narrow support-base.

It is in the above context that The Indian Express report and Hindustan Times opinion piece are important. According to The Indian Express, Union home secretary Rajiv Mehrishi, who had visited the valley on Thursday, was told by the officials of the Jammu and Kashmir government that "the situation in the Valley is not as bad as is being portrayed, and the media is ‘widely exaggerating’ the current unrest." He was told how of nearly 50,000 schools in the state, students from only four to five schools participated in stone-pelting and how "the number of youths joining militancy had not gone up." The state officials were anguished that the media was portraying the incidents as "a widespread phenomenon", which, in turn, was being misused by India’s neighbours to build a false narrative in the Valley at "little cost".

Writing in the Hindustan Times, Swayam Prakash Pani, the IPS officer, exploded the myth that more and more educated Kashmiri youth are joining the terrorist ranks. According to him, among the locals who took up arms, 38 are under-matriculate, 42 are matriculated, six are graduates, two post-graduates and two with technical training. And most of them have not been outside the state. As Pani writes, “These statistics bust some of the popular myths advocated in the national media. The first myth is that individual recruits to terror outfits have a sound educational background. An investigation has established that in all most all cases, the academic brilliance attributed to them is far from the truth. The second myth is that the recruits are all radicalised youth. The reason for joining militancy in most of the cases has been found to be peer-group contact and not a strong radical lineage."

There are many other scholarly works that suggest that militancy in the Kashmir valley is concentrated in certain pockets. A study by the Observer Research Foundation says, "It is clear that the meaning of 'disturbance' changes significantly as we travel through Jammu and Kashmir's 'disturbed areas.' While four districts in the Valley — Srinagar, Pulwama, Kupwara and Baramulla — are unequivocally disturbed, and militant violence is moderately high in Anantnag and Poonch, the frequency and impact of militancy is considerably lower in the state's remaining districts.” It is said that out of 25 police districts in Jammu and Kashmir, 11 are militancy free. It may also be added here that when one talks of militancy, one has to make a distinction between the locals and foreign militants. A recent police report by the state government suggests that foreign militants are present in considerable numbers in the districts of Shopian, Pulwama, Anantnag, Kulgam, Kupwara, and Baramulla.

The most important point is that all the militancy-prone districts of the valley cited above comprise only 7.2 percent of the total geographical area of the state that is with India at the moment. Should we then be blackmailed by the Islamic separatists who are a microscopic minority living in these areas?

It is worth mentioning here that in the wake of separatist tendencies and Pakistan's proxy wars in the Jammu and Kashmir, we generally give more emphasis on law and order in the valley, neglecting in the process the pathetic governance of the state for decades. Everybody tends to talk of only the Kashmir Valley, giving an impression that Jammu and Ladakh simply do not exist. So much so that now the dictum is that no person from Jammu and Ladakh could ever become chief minister of the state.

The sad reality is that there are grave regional imbalances. Jammu and Ladakh are very poorly represented in the state bureaucracy and other jobs. All the major industrial units such as HMT watch factory, the telephone factory, the television factory and cement factory are in the valley, even though the valley is not at all suitable for every kind of raw material needed come either from or through the Jammu region. And the matter has become so perverse that no Central scheme in Jammu can ever be allowed if a similar scheme is not replicated in the valley. For instance, the state of Jammu and Kashmir has two Central universities, two AIIMS, two IIT-like institutions, something other states in the country can never dream of.

Viewed thus, one should appreciate that the fact that the present the PDP-BJP coalition government represents for the first time in the true sense of the term all the three regions of the state. Here is perhaps the best opportunity in recent decades that there is a government in the state which every ethnic community — Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists — could consider its own. Pandering to the separatists and getting increasingly jittery to the incidents of stone pelting will negate all these gains. Mufti’s government needs all the best support to ruthlessly deal with the insurgents.

Hizbul Mujahideen distances itself from its commander Zakir Moosa’s statement

The Hizbul Mujahideen on Friday distanced itself from the statement of its commander Zakir Moosa against the separatist leadership, signalling a rift in the militant outfit which has been fighting for Jammu and Kashmir’s annexation to Pakistan since 1989. “The outfit has neither got anything to do with the statement of Moosa nor the statement is acceptable to it,” Hizbul Mujahideen spokesman Saleem Hashmi said in a statement from Muzaffarabad in Azad Kashmir (Azad Kashmir)

Terming Moosa’s remarks in an audio slideshow that surfaced in Kashmir’s social media as his “personal opinion”, Hashmi cautioned that any statement or step which will create confusion “can prove a death knell for our struggle”. In the 5.40-minute audio, Moosa had warned the separatist leaders not to meddle in their aim to establish a caliphate in Jammu and Kashmir along the lines of the rule established by ISIS in parts of Syria and Iraq.

Hashmi said the outfit was pondering over the statement of Moosa and will not “hesitate in taking any step or rendering any sacrifice” in the interest of the ongoing struggle. Director General of Police S P Vaid had told PTI that the police had carried out a voice analysis and found that it was was Moosa’s voice.

The clip is seen as worrying twist in Kashmir’s militancy which has largely been about independence and annexation to Pakistan without ever emphasising Islam or connecting it to jihad. Hizbul Mujahideen is almost as old as the Kashmiri militancy which started in 1989. The group is made up almost entirely of local youths, and had always campaigned for joining Pakistan.

The clip surfaced after Hurriyat leaders recently sought to downplay the growing influence of ISIS ideology in the Valley. Earlier this week, Hurriyat leaders like Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Mirwaiz Umer Farooq and Yaseen Malik issued a joint statement in which they claimed that the Kashmir struggle has nothing to do with ISIS, Al-Qaida and other such organisation.

Hashmi said the “entire leadership” demonstrated unity on all fronts after the killing of Hizb’s Burhan Wani in July last year and are striving to carry forward the ongiong “struggle for freedom and Islam”. “In such a situation, any statement or step which will create confusion can prove a death knell for our struggle and,” Hashmi said and asked the youths to discourage “negative thinking and confused statements” in the media.

Shows India's desperation. This shows they have literally run out of ideas in Kashmir and are probably preparing for the one thing they have left- a brutal bloody crackdown on the population of Kashmir. That is coming and it will be the biggest mistake India makes.

 

[Zhukov]

These Banyas are smart.
Hijack the kashmiri freedom struggle using the ISIS elements first then unleash the barbarick slaughter of every freedom fighter linking them to global deash network.
And Assets will be used from The already Indian sponsored Daesh network in Afghanistan.
Impressive.

Everyone in India already knew that these Kashmiri jihadist guys are the same as ISIS, good to get confirmation from the horse's mouth.
