7th Rangers: Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind chief Mahmood Madani says ‘India is the first homeland of Muslims’: Why his statement can be dangerous for Hindus and Bharat
Fighting Seventh
The Fighting Rangers On War, Politics and Burning Issues

“When you're left wounded on Afganistan's plains and
the women come out to cut up what remains, Just roll to your rifle
and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier”
General Douglas MacArthur"
“We are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.”
“It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.” “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.
“The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.”
“May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .” “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
“Nobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass
"Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint."
I've had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said
And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."
What
is also dangerous is the fact that in his statement, he refers to India
being the land of Abul Bashar Sayyed Adam - the first Prophet who is
considered to be the 'father of humanity'. This, coupled with his
statement about India being the progeny of Islam, has severely dangerous
connotations for Hindus and Bharat.
On Friday, Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind chief Mahmood Madani stated that India
is the first homeland of Muslims and that believing that the religion
of Islam has come from outside here, is wrong and baseless. “Islam is
the oldest religion among all religions. India is the best country for
Hindi Muslims,” he said while addressing the crowd at the 34th General
Session held at the Ram Lila ground in New Delhi.
He also said that the speciality of India for Muslims lies in being
the land of the first Paigambar named Abul Bashar Sayyed Adam. “This is
his land. This is the birthplace of Muslims. This is Muslim’s first
land. Saying that Islam is a religion that came from outside is totally
wrong and baseless. Islam is the oldest religion among all religions.
India is the best country for Hindi Muslims,” he said. In his statement,
Madani also said, “This land (India) is the legitimate progeny of
Islam”.
