found some interesting Chicago connections. hope I am not duplicating. This is from 2008.
http://offstumped.wordpress.com/2008/09 ... n-muslims/
===========================================================
New details have emerged of e-mail intercepts of SIMI members from back in 2001 with Chicago based Indian Muslim group CCIM.
Chicago’s Indian Muslim Community is interesting for a variety reasons, not the least of which is the fact that Tarun Tejpal of Tehelka was feted in Chicago on June 1st of 2008 for the Moulana Muhammad Ali Johar Award in Journalism by the IMC-USA, another Chicago based Indian Muslim group formed in 2002 in the wake of the Gujarat Riots.
Notice the dates here, Ajit Sahi of Tehelka started his quest to bat for SIMI 3 months back exactly around the same time Tarun Tejpal was being feted by a Chicago based Indian Muslim group
What a coincidence that Chicago based Muslims groups should have links with SIMI as far back as 2001? and that Tarun Tejpal should be feted by another Chicago based Muslim group around the same time his Tehelka starts digging up on how to bat for SIMI ?
The story gets even more interesting when you consider that IMC-USA was also the main organization behind the Coalition against Genocide that has been lobbying the U.S. State Department against granting a visa for Narendra Modi.
But no mention of CCIM is found anywhere on the Coalition against Genocide’s website.
But then we find this interesting letter to the editor (see page 22) InFocus a Southern California Islamic Newsletter in its April 2005 issue (the year Modi’s visa was first rejected in March 2005).
On behalf of the Consultative Committee of Indian Muslims in North America (CCIM) I would like to congratulate you for working very hard to start InFocus. We have been hearing about your paper via various news items. I had the chance to see your March 2005 issue. May Allah bless you. I also saw in your March issue the news item about the Anti-Muslim tyrant from India, Narendar Modi. I thought that I should send you a copy of the letter we sent to our Secreatry of State.Very sincerely yours, Mohammad Yacoob Former National Chairman, CCIM Currently Chairman, CCIM Education Committee [Letter enclosed]
[Editor?s Note: We thank you for your organization?s efforts in this case. Because of advocacy advocacy on behalf of organizations such as CAIR and your group, and many others, we are pleased to include a news item in this issue that Modi?s visa was rejected.]
In yesterday’s post we traced the many links that converged into Chicago’s so called Indian Muslim Community.
But how Indian is this Muslim Community ?
Offstumped has obtained the Tax Exempt Records of IMC-USA maintained by the U.S. Government and they reveal something interesting. The organization’s public face maybe Dr. Hyder Khan of Minneapolis who has been at the forefront of the Coalition against Genocide but the tax records list a less known name as the person in-charge based in Chicago – Syed Azmatullah Quadri.
Now Syed Azmatullah Quadri is better known and associated with another U.S. based Muslim group called Imannet. It is funny that Mr. Quadri’s name is never mentioned directly associated with IMC-USA in any of the media releases despite his name being on the Tax Records.
So what exactly does Imannet do that IMC-USA ostensibly doesnt ?
Here is a sampling?from 2002.
The killers of Gandhi now rule India and openly plan to ethnically
cleanse India of Muslims and Christians. They also want to annex Pakistan,
Afghanistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangla Desh, Mynamar (Burma) & Sri Lanka
and they possess nuclear weapons. They have treated the Dalits (Black
Indians) as sub-human un-touchables for 5000 years.
Thats not hyperbole but an actual?solicitation for a fundraiser in New Jersey that lists Mr. Quadri’s well known colleague Mr. Ubaid as a speaker.
Thats who Tarun Tejpal, Tehelka, Teesta Setalvad are associating with……

Unfortunately – this is not an hyperbole amongst many “educated” Indians as well – particularly the “progressive liberals.” The tone might be different but the attitude is the same.
While I certainly agree with recognizing these external forces, a free India must be able to prevent this internal rot. India’s future lies in viewing its present and its past without these jaundiced eyes.

Its not surprizing at all.
Islamists like IMC-USA are trying to form a union with Xtian groups to give bad name to Hindutva.
Media, Indian lib, psuedos are helping them.
One of their goal is to accentuate caste rivalry – THE MORE HINDUS REMAIN DIVIDED, THEY CAN EXTRACT A GREATER POUND OF FLESH.
Here is a report that appeared in respectable the Tribune report that spoke abt SIMI’S GOAL TO ACCECTUATE CASTE RIVALRY AMONGST HINDUS:
http://www.tribuneindia.com/2008/20080821/nation.htm#2
Seized documents from SIMI training camps have revealed that the organisation plans to split the Hindu society by turning OBCs, SCs and Tribes against the upper castes and vice-versa

Gr8 link Tathagata…thanx buddy!
The article hits the nail right on the head by highlighting the game-plan of SIMI & like-minded organisations that hope to create a divide in the Hindu society to achieve their nefarious goals, and their record speaks out for itself: witness the so-called seminars held in USA & other foreign countries, where the central theme, more often than not, happens to be ‘uniting’ Dalits, other minorities (read Sikh, Xtian) with Muslims against the so-called ‘injustices’ perpetuated against them by the Hindu high-caste population & how numerous organisations & NGOs have mushroomed under the garb of ‘protecting’ n fighting for the interests of the ‘downtrodden’ & poor & ‘peresecuted’ populace of India.
IMO, the Christain missionaries as well as the Commies alongwith these fundamentalist radical Islamist organizations form the triumvirate/troika that if not stopped from spreading its tenticles in the heartland of India, will prove deterimental to the very existence of India & by extension Hindu society.

Sootradhaar: Yes, dangers are much more than it meet eyes. HINDU UNITY IS THE ONLY SOLUTION.
Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay , pre-eminent Indian Novelist spoke thus in 1920s (He was President of Howrah District Congress, but resigned after Gandhiji supported Khilafat movement):
THE DAY HINDUS UNITE, THE HINDU MUSLIM PROBLEM WILL BE SOLVED FOR EVER.
As India is making steady economic progress, LOTS OF ANTI-INDIAN INTERESTS LIKE ISLAMISTS, MISSIONARIES AND MARXISTS ARE UNITED.

Real target of these Islamists is Gujarat, most Industrialized Indian state.
Defense of Kashmir lies in Gujarat (and Maharashtra, Karnataka etc) because they contribute largely to Indian economy thus the state can fund the budget of India’s growing military expenditure.
LeT founder is on record saying ANY PART OF INDIA THAT CONTRIBUTES TO INDIAN MILITARY IS A LEGITIMATE TARGET.

>>LeT founder is on record saying ANY PART OF INDIA THAT CONTRIBUTES TO INDIAN MILITARY IS A LEGITIMATE TARGET.
The only solution is pre-emptive action by India provided itsleadership has spine of steel, and take this challenge of anhilating these terrorists organisations from the face of earth, strike right @ their base, foundation ‘coz as such the goals of these organizations, their political masters as well as individuals associated with them is the destruction of India, so its a matter of survival & making the first move & striking them where it hurts the most. Making life hell for their members & houndibg them & their sympathizers out from the media, academia as well as other sundry fields. But let their be no illusion, given the fact that these sympathizers have permeated the ranks of the aforemetioned areas & are entrenched deep, the task of evicting them out from their burroughs won’t be that easy, rather an uphill one OTH!

Excerpts from convocation address by Dr. Shyama Prasad Mookerjee at Benares Hindu University (1st December, 1940):
Every word here is like Gold, and equally applicable today. If not more.
http://www.indpride.com/drshyamaprasadmukherjee.html
A good deal of confusion prevails today about the ethical doctrine of Ahimsa. There is no doubt Ahimsa is one of the cardinal virtues taught by Indian thinkers of all denominations throughout the ages. Dharma consists in Ahimsa, proclaims the Mahabharat. “Ahimsa confers immortality”, declares the Code of Manu. The doctrine of Ahimsa is a necessary corollary to the Hindu belief that the supreme spirit pervades the universe, that everything is strung on the Blessed Lord as rows of gems upon a thread, and that welfare of all beings is a sacred duty. Ahimsa doubtless implies abstention from selfish and aggressive violence. But does it signify inertia and pacifism under all circumstances? Did not Sree Ramchandra, so kind to righteous men and women, including even Nishadas and Savaras, wage a war to punish the arrogant evil-doer who insulted woman-hood and violated the sanctity of the peaceful hermitage? Were not “Pachajanyasya nirghosho Gandivasya cha nisvanah” meant to strike terror into the hearts of those whose pride and conceit would not allow them to do justice and repair wrongs? Did not Sree Chaitanya roar like Narasimha to restrain the bigot and the oppressor? Did not the great Asoka himself lay as much stress on ‘parakrama’ (prowess) as on ‘ahimsa’ and declare in one of his Rock Edicts that there was a limit to his forbearance? “Should any one do him wrong, that must be borne with by His Sacred Majesty so far as it can possibly be borne with”. Even Buddhist Theologians prescribed condign punishment for treachery and mischief-making, typified by the career of Devadatta. Readers of the Chachnama need not be told what pusillanimity masquerading as religious quietism may do to endanger the life and liberty of a people and destroy its morale.
If I have understood the history of my country aright, a pacifism that refuses to take up arms against injustice and makes one a passive spectator of oppression and aggression, does not represent the real teaching of India. Let us not forget that valour was greatly esteemed by the sages and free rulers of India in olden times. When valour languished, the entire polity weakened. When the sword and the book of knowledge kept together, justice, equity and liberty ruled the affairs of the state. We want to see the reappearance of the ancient spirit of valour tempered with a spiritual wisdom consistent with our genius and present needs, which alone can recover civilization out of the chaotic condition of the modern age.
We live in an age when the need of ‘parakrama’, ceaseless exertion, courage and valour, in all spheres of activity affecting the public weal, is more imperative than ever. The menace of invasion from without is within the bounds of possibility. Disruptive forces are at work within the country itself. A nation can only save itself by its own energy. But energy and strength hardly come to a people that does not enjoy the blessings of unity and freedom. Unity need not imply uniformity is not to be encouraged. India is traditionally a land of village republics, and local autonomy has had many noble champions whose patriotism and public spirit are beyond question. But accentuation of differences can not make for strength. A divided India was always a prey to the foreign invader from the days of Alexander and Mahmud of Ghazni to those of Vasco da Gama, Dupleix and Clive. There is much disharmony and disunity in India today. Communal differences have taken such an acute turn that fanatic claims for the vivisection of our Motherland are widely asserted, backed by tacit encouragement of the powers that rule the destinies of India today.

What’s with the BJP and white paper on SIMI. Why don’t they release a white paper from the states they govern.
Why did not they release a white paper when they were in office in Delhi?

Tatha, don’t get me wrong. BJP is the only party that can take Jihadis head on. Modi has shown how it is done.
But I do not understand why they keep talking about a white paper. They should release one if they think that will help in fighting terror.

Yossarin,
Brilliant efforts. I have been following your posts.These are the real ‘expose’and merit wider read.
Of late we have witnessed discomfort in the MSM camp and they lament the power of blogging – damn we care – they should only read people like you to see for themselves what a yo-men service is being rendered in the greater cause of nation.
Keep it up. We look up to you for motivation and guidance.

These Indian Muslim organizations in the US are of a deeper green hue than the Paki flag. When the Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind was releasing condemnation of the seperatist protests in Kashmir these American IMs, on the other hand, expressed ‘concern against unilateral use of force against muslims’

“Now Syed Azmatullah Quadri is better known and associated with another U.S. based Muslim group called Imannet.”
You need to back that up with more data. A google search does not turn up anything.
I hope you understand that if the above statement is false, your whole theory is false and we should disregard it.

Please disregard the earlier comment. I now see that Quadri is the founder member of Imannet.

What began as an organisation to educate people about the true spirit of Islam is now busy developing itself into a high-class “brand” in the world of Islamic terror. This is not what SIMI’s founder-president wanted it to be.

The IMC-USA is the “Indian Muslim” front for the Pakistan ISI and its Pakistan-American Association. They were funded through the “Vaishnava Center for Enlightenment” in East Lansing, Michigan, and through Sterling Associates, a PR firm hired to make Musharraf stink less. Again, based on East Lansing, Michigan. They are also fronted by “NRI_SAHI” (NRIs for a Secular Harmonious India) founded by Kaleem Kawaja, who claims to have a direct line to those who can “stop the communal riots in Meerut with one phone call” (quote from the “India-Unity” terrorist website operated by the same Ubaid and Kawaja and the wacko who tried to attack Dr. Abdul Kalam at the Pravasi celebrations in India and was kicked out by police (in the US he would have been brought down in a hail of Uzi fire from the Secret Service).
You can see a lot of the links as of a few years ago, in the articles in this book:
“NGOs, Activists and Foreign Funds – Anti-Nation Industry”
http://www.indiaclub.com/shop/SearchRes ... tock=19407
According to CAIR Watch, ” Syed Ali Rahman, Executive Council member of CAIR-Florida, .. is a spokesperson for the Islamic Center of South Florida (ICOSF). … ICOSF has been named as a defendant in a lawsuit, which describes the center as a threat to the community, due to its deep ties to Islamic radicals. (Stop The Mosque,
http://www.stopthemosque.org, May 1, 2007 – Present)
As well, Rahman is a founding member of the Indian Muslim Council-USA and the group’s South Florida chapter President. (Ruth Morris, Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel, ‘South Florida Muslims worry their mosques will be targeted,’ August 12, 2006; IMC-USA press release, ‘IMC-USA commends the City of Hollywood, Florida for officially dissociating from Sadhvi Ritambhara Event,’ June 23, 2007)
The founding President of the Student Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), Mohammad Ahmadullah Siddiqi, has participated in IMC-USA conferences. (IMC-USA press release, ‘Indian Muslim Council’s First National Convention a Huge Success,’ June 30, 2003; website of IMC-USA, ‘Resolution on the occasion of IMC-USA’s 2nd Annual Convention,’ August 7, 2004)”
