Mangaluru: Sunni extremists' storm Salafi conference; 14 injured in clash

March 29, 2016

Mangaluru, Mar 29: Several people were hospitalised with injuries after a group of miscreants belonging to local Sunni' faction barged into a Salafi conference and created ruckus near Montepadavu Badria Juma Masjid under the limits of Konaje Police Station on the outskirts of the city.

The injured have been identified as Hakeem Montepadavu, Abbas Kadaba, Haneef Kadaba, Hasan Mukri, Umar Bail, UT Shoukat-all from Sunni faction, and Abdul Azeez, Husan Fahad, Ismaeel Samanige, Faizal, Fahad, Imran, Jalli Abbu and Mohammed-all belonging to Salafi faction. Among them UT Shoukat and Ismaeel have suffered severe injuries.

It is learnt that the local unit of a Salafi organisation had arranged a week-long religious programme in and around Konaje. On Sunday evening it had organised a public meeting at a government ground at Montepadavu after obtaining permission from the authorities concerned.

The programme had almost come to the end and the last speaker KE Suhail Abdullah had been delivering the keynote address on Thouheed'. All of a sudden a group of 50 extremists allegedly belonging to Sunni faction began to throw stones and soda water bottles at the gathering. This led to a clash between two groups.

It is learnt that when the programme commenced, police had tightened the security in the area. However, when the programme was about to finish, the police left for another place. The miscreants seized this opportunity to barge into the conference venue and unleash violence.

Two separate complaints have been lodged at the Konaje police station. Police said that they have taken two persons into the custody among the 14 injured.

This is the influence of BJP's friendship with AP Usthad and Sunni group.
Sunni has no guts to debate with Salafi or Thableek on the base of Quran and Hadeeth.

Sunni is still running under darkness. Instead of calling sunni or salafi, try to prove as muslim by reading and understanding quran and hadeeth, and implant in your life.

Whoever said we fight with each other are totally wrong. This is an attack from one group only On those people who are trying to spread the actual message of islam that says Pray to Allah only. The very first chapter of quran clears everything. And all those who oppose are people who have totally misunderstood and lost faith in Quran.
Sunni has taken very drastic route to fight the people of thouheed when it failed to justify through Quran and hadees for what they are doing like darga, mawlid, waseelah etc. this is a sign of failure nothing else.. And as said in Quran falsehood is bound to perish!! But no matter what Allah is with the true believers!!

\Indeed, those who divide their religion and break up into sects, you have no part with them in the least: their affair is with God: He will in the end tell them the truth of all that they used to do\"

THEN WHO MADE THIS SUNNI, SALAFI ETC, WHY THEY NEED TAG.

Sunnis are becoming arrogant and trying to crush all others who are opposing them. Ulemas in this factions are not doing much to end so many superstitious beliefs and exploitation in the name of religion. They are not addressing the social issues which are causing damage to our society yet again its all unislamic too. If Salafi's are doing their function, why sunnis to there and ransack. It clearly indicates that their mind set is instigated by their Ulemas. As far as I know Salafis are only opposing some of the ill practices which are unislamic but we borrowed from other communities. Such as 1. Dowry - Totally not in Islam but very rampant in other communities. We borrowed it but Sunni ulemas are silent. They are not opposing it. 2. Practicing bidaat like visiting shrines, muslim swamis etc instead of praying to Allah. Hidden benefit to some factions of society - so one is opposing. 3. There are many harams being practiced by some members of society instead of opposing those things they are opposing Salafis etc. They should strongly oppose drinks and many other haram practices in our society. I am sure those attackers may not be praying 5 times but they want to oppose salafis. Very very Contradicting.

STOP THIS NONSENSE

Grave worshiping must stop. Shirk must stop. Allah will not give another opportunity to us anymore. Stop sleeping on real issue. Ponder on religion. Start calling yourself Muslim rather than salafi or sunni. We are all to blame for not conveying true message of Islam to our own people. May Allah Guide Us All

there is a old proverb in Tulunadu in Tulu \ JAATHIG JAATHI PAGE , NAIG NAI PAGE\" , regardless of hindu and muslims , this is common in Dakshina Kannada.
If any organization who makes programme , whatever they speak one should not go and attack them. Those who attack are called\"terrorists\".
You can take many examples if Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat or similar extremists speaks against muslims in the public speech, no organization, or no muslims go there and attack them, at the same time SDPI party organizers who speak against RSS and Kalladka Bhat in the open function infront of DC office, never RSS people go there and attack the speaker or audience.

Nobody is above the law and nobody in this earth equal to GOD or Prophets. We have seen Swamies, Thangals, Priests ... were doing immoral activities and some are in the jail too.

It is our big mistake that we have imported from nearby Kerala all these politics. These groups are all from Malayalees influenced in
Mangalore religious activities. It is very hard now to eliminate these kerala groups. Because they have already poisoned our common people.
It is unfortunate that in Mangalore some educated so called muslim leaders (businessmen) are supporting these elements. Even one of the University Chancellor too behind these people , going each and every dargas etc. It is shameful.
Now it is the time to unite and fight against the terrorists and facist by joining hands together with other community members but not fighting within the groups."

I witnessed this incident. I think many among those who attacked the Salfis were drunk. First time I came to know that Muslims in our region consume alcohol.
Some organisation mus take up the cause of creating awareness among Muslim youths about drug abuse and alcoholism now.

Excuse me. Those are not sunnis. They are grave worshippers, which is strictly prohibited in Islam. Our beloved prophet(S) gave order to hazrat Ali (r) to demolish graves. And these people build graves and do urs and other non-Islamic rituals.

So called Sunni's I know if salafi's talk about bidaath that you people are doing then you will get frustrate. Salafi's are talking with thye reference of Quraan & Hadeeth. If anything which goes against your belief then you guys are ready to kill and fight. My request is with you that if you have any doubts then arrange a stage and lets have a debate on the issues with the knowledge of quraan & Hadeeth. Fighting only shows your weakness.

DIVIDING is a tool used by Shaitan & his followers.
SABR is a tool which our prophets of ALLAH taught to their FOLLOWERS to be used in times of ANGER...
When U miss SABR, U end up helping the SHAITAN and his followers.
To be Patience, Follow how Prophet Muhammad pbuh taught us to tackle such situation .... If the LEADERS of EACH group doesnt start to UNITE the MUSLIMs. It will become WORSE in the coming days.
Any msg you receive thru FACEBOOK, Whatsapp or other media channel Please VERIFY it... B4 U fall & trap to such ignorant actions..

Im a MUSLIM....
When somebody is talking about ALLAH and giving knowledge about ALLAH and its prophet... STOP and LISTEN carefully what they say about ALLAH and his prophets....
May be he is saying GOOD and with ignorance, YOU might stop the message of our Prophet Mohammad pbuh reaching out to the PUBLIC...which will have ACCOUNTABLE infront of our CREATOR...
STOP looking other MUSLIM as Sunni, Salafi, Mujahid, Jammat... (Dont ACT like the people of JAHILIYA...) LOOK every MUSLIM as a MUSLIM...and avoid traping to shaitan's trick of DIVISION.
There might be a difference of OPINION, even the SAHABAS had.. But they didn't fight each other.
When Prophet Muhammad pbuh said to take care of the neighbors ( He did not say only MUSLIMs... even if your neighbor is a NON MUSLIM, We should follow the advise of the best of HUMAN and the messenger of ALLAH & treat our neighbor in the best way..).

When people started to preach about True Islam definitely there will be some one to oppose, because for some innocent people they cannot Digest the TRUTH.Even Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) used to face such incidents during his time.Even his Own family used to curse him.Prophets uncle cursed him by saying 'Thabbalaq ya Muhammed' (You may Destroy),But at the end Almighty Allah Destroyed his Uncle itself.So no need to worry about all this.After all this is nothing compare to our Beloved Prophet Muhammed PBUH. He faced more then this.

Be patiece and do not quite Preaching Truth to entire Humanity.Because Islam is for all.It will benefit life after death.In sha allah

Very sad. Now salafism will grow. Whenever they came under attack, more number of sunnis joined Salafi. two decades ago there were hardly two dozen salafis in Mangaluru

What a shame. A few years ago we were blaming evengers for publishing such reports. But now we all know about the rising intolerance within small muslim community members in coastal Karnataka. Why the hell these people behave like Bajrang Dal goons? Whats the difference between BD goons and the one who carried out attack on a religious conference?

Dont understand when will the muslims ever become smart! Guys, just follow what you beleive.. Why try to impose on others? Let Sunnis do maulood or visit dargahs or even do ratib.... Why try to be judge? Let Allah decide whats wrong and right... Its been 1400 years since the Islam came through Prophet Muhammed and in the time of Sahabis, the sect Shia came into existence... Since 1400 years the Shias are still in this world and no Salafis or Sunnis could ever convince them and bring them to main stream Islam!! Then, why the hell are we fighting now among our self? Just practice what is good for you, let ALlah be the judge in the end...

Bengaluru, Jul 19: Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa convened a meeting with Private Medical College Hospitals on Saturday to assess COVID-19 management and directed them to provide 50 per cent of the beds, as promised, with effect from Sunday.

The chief minister said that private medical college hospitals need to cooperate as there is a sharp rise in COVID-10 cases in the city. He further said that it has come to the notice of the government that some institutes are denying treatment of COVID-19 as well as non-COVID patients.

The chief minister expressed his concerns over media reports stating several people died as they didn't get timely treatment due to denial from the hospitals. He said that Bengaluru should continue to lead the country as a role model in COVID-19 management.

During previous meetings, private medical colleges had agreed upon providing around 4,500 beds, which would make the total beds available in government and private medical colleges 6,500.

The chief minister expressed dismay over some colleges not providing the number of beds as promised and also about certain lacunae which were noticed by ministers during their visit.
During this emergency situation, we should show humanity. COVID and non-COVID patients shall not be denied treatment and the balance in healthcare system shall be maintained, he advised.

He assured them of all support, including providing doctors and nurses if need be.
The private medical colleges had assured to provide 50 per cent of beds and some colleges offered 80 per cent of the beds for COVID treatment.

Nodal officers have already been appointed to monitor the availability of beds in these medical colleges.

It was decided to issue a notice to Vaidehi Medical College for their absence in the meeting.

We came on foot, we came on boats, shouting slogans of Azadi.

We stood on roof tops and sat on walls under the burning midday sun,

Listening to the words that we had longed to hear for so long.

Words that had been scripted through the lonely fears of our hearts.

Words that were spoken now with the clarity of courage.

Words that were spoken now with the suppressed strength of pent up anger.

Words that were spoken now with the certainty of belonging to the soil 

Which had become one with the dust of our ancestors.

We stood there in the waves of heat

Feeling the surge and press  of countless bodies around us.

Bodies meshed through the odour of sweat 

And the shared fear of a common persecution.

And hanging from the roof tops,

And tied to the poles,

And clutched in hands slippery with sweat,

And wrapped round the pillars,

And spreading into our blood,

Were three strips of colour with a wheel of spokes,

Sewn together into the shape of our being.

Woven into the folds of our future and the creases of our past. 

Stitched to the seams of the earth, the water, the air and the sky 

That belonged to us and to which we belonged. 

And we stood there from noon to evening,

We the people of India.

Raising our clenched fists like signposts to the future.

Chanting slogans like a new anthem.

Kin to each other through the ties of community.

Born to live and die 

In a nation that was ours to hold on to

And ours to belong to.

Dr Parinitha is a professor of English in Mangalore University. She penned the poem soon after participating in the historic protest against CAA, NPR and NRC at Shah Garden, Adyar, Mangaluru on 15th January, 2020.
