Communal riots in India are playing into the hands of Islamic State's jihadists and realising their dystopic dreams

Firstpost  

There is little doubt Indian communal politics is reaching a crossroads — but there are many paths from here, and all but one leads to perdition Five years ago, as the Islamic State’s armies spilled a great tide of blood across Iraq, Abdus Sami Qasmi stood at the pulpit of an Ahmedabad mosque, gently seducing his audience into the cult of death. Then, when the day came in 1831, he faced the army of Raja Ranjit Singh in Balakote, and drank the elixir of martyrdom.” “But you,” Qasmi taunted the young men in his audience: “You paint bridal mehndi on your feet, so you have an excuse not to step out from your homes.” Last week, the Delhi Police made the latest in a long string of arrests linked to Islamic State cells Qasmi, a resident of northeast Delhi’s riot-torn Seelampur, is alleged to have inspired. “Had Islam not come in the form of Muhammad Bin Qasim, to Sindh,” he thundered, “Had Islam not led Mahmood Ghaznavi to triumph at Somnath; had Islam not brought Ahmad Shah Abdali victory at Panipat; then you and I would have been ringing bells and breaking coconuts every morning.” Qasmi’s audience included a young college dropout from Hyderabad, Mohammed Abdullah Basith. Ever since he had discovered Islamism as a teenager, influenced by his uncle and former Students Islamic Movement of India president Syed Salahuddin Salar, Basith had venerated Osama Bin Laden — and longed, since then, to act on the jihadist patriarch’s call.
