On February 8, besides the Express, the Rashtriya Sahara , which came under scanner last week for supporting the Qadiani and Israeli causes in India, also carried a UNI release reporting an agreement signed to strengthen Hindu-Jew unity. The agreement was signed by Israelâs Chief Rabbi Metzger and Convenor Hindu Dharma Acharya Sabha Swami Dayananda Saraswati at the end of the two days meetings. The UNI report did mention the presence of some Muslims in the meetings but did not mention their names. It also says that World Council of Religious Leaders (WCORL) contributed to the inking of this agreement.
Muslimsâ condemnation
The meeting of self-styled Muslims with Jewish rabbis has sent shock waves through the large segments of Muslim masses in India. Indian Muslims fail to comprehend the reason why few self-styled Muslim leaders are becoming instrumental in the hands of Zionists by meeting Jewish rabbis and Israeli ambassador particularly at a time when the Israelâs efforts to demolish Masjid al-Aqsa are going on.
The Express of February 9 carries wide condemnation of the Meer Jafars for their act of treachery by the various Muslim individuals and organisations, including Shahi Imam Masjid Fatehpuri Delhi Mufti Mukarram Ahmad, Secretary Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind Maulana Abdul Hameed Noamani, Jamaat-e-Islami Hind Assistant Secretary Intizar Naeem, Kamal Farooqui, president Muslim Political Council of India Dr Tasleem Ahmad Rahmani, general secretary All India Tanzeemul Muslimeen Habeebullah Hashmi, president All India Minorities Conference Piyarey Mian. They have termed the event âunfortunate,â and the self-styled Muslims âtreacherousâ and âdeceitfulâ. Some of them called these Meers âBJPmenâ and some others averred âthey do not represent the Muslim communityâ; they are âself-styledâ.
Dr Tasleem Rahmani said, âNo one can be allowed to go against the agreed-upon view of Muslim Ummah on Israel howsoever great and wealthy he may be and howsoever high posts he may hold⦠Such a meeting of Muslim leaders with the (Jewish) delegation hurts the sentiments of Muslims and the very personality of these leaders becomes doubtful. Institutions like India Islamic Cultural Centre and Jamia Millia Islamia are the trust of Ummah and it does not behove the functionaries of such institutions, even in their personal capacity, to establish relationships with anti-Muslim people and organisations, not to say of bringing disgrace to the entire community by holding meetings with anti-Muslim Israeli delegation.â
On February 9 the Inquilab carried a brief but front-paged report of both the meetings held at Advaniâs residence on February 6 and at Hotel Oberoi on February 7, mentioning the names of the Muslims who participated in the meetings.

February 09, 2007 15:04 IST
Two siblings of ethnic Indian origin claiming to be Hindus have demanded that Malaysian authorities change their religion on their birth certificates that show them as Muslims.
S Jeevanathan, 22, and his sister S Maneemegalay, 21, are practising Hindus and are worried about their future as they have been certified as Muslims after their father K Seshadri converted from Hinduism to Islam before they were born.
Children of Muslim parents in Malaysia are automatically certified as Muslims, and conversions are rarely permitted.
Jeevanathan said his father converted to Islam as an 18-year-old after his grandparents decided to embrace the religion.
Their father reverted to Hinduism in 1991, but was buried by Islamic authorities as a Muslim last month despite the protests of his children, the New Straits Times said on Friday.
Jeevanathan also claimed that the religious department officers had intimidated and threatened him and his sister before taking away their father's body on that ill fated day.
The siblings, registered as Hindus on their identity cards, are trying to change their Muslim status on their birth certificates but have been turned down so far by Malaysia's National Registration Department.
Malacca religious department enforcement head Rahimin Bani said the department claimed Seshadri's body based on the police report lodged by his children from his first marriage.
"According to the law, when one embraces Islam, there is no provision that allows him to take another religion or go back to his former religion," Bani said.Â
In 2005, religious and racial tensions were raised when an ethnic Indian mountaineering hero born a Hindu was buried as a Muslim despite his family's protests.
