After a hectic poll campaign, Dr. M.K. Muneer, Indian Union Muslim League state secretary and the UDF candidate in Kozhikode South, has resumed work on his new book on Jihad, which is likely to create ripples in Kerala.
Dr. Muneer had stopped work on the book for about two months as he was fully immersed in the election campaign.
The book is a frontal attack on organisations such as the Jama’at-e-Islami and the Popular Front of India for propagating extremist ideas among Muslims.
“Jama’t forms the basis of the extremist movement in the world. It was the theories of Jama’at founder Syed Abul Ala Maududi that laid the foundation for extremism,’’ Dr Muneer said. Tracing the history of Jihadi movement in the world, the book also lays emphasis on the funding of Islamic extremism.
“Many of the indoctrinated assassins were injected with drugs to make them more deadly and the money collected from hashish trade was used for terrorist activities in Afghanistan,’’ says Dr Muneer.
According to the author, Maududi, Sayed Qutb and Hasan Al Banna were responsible for misinterpreting Islam to suit their needs. “In India, the job was done by SIMI, which was the student wing of Jama’at.” he adds.
The last three chapters of the book are on the Jihadi movement in Kerala. “I will detail the incidents like the SIMI camp at Wagamon and the recruitment of Malayalee youths for terror training in Kashmir,” he says.
