New Delhi: A number of prominent Muslim bodies in India on Friday condemned the terrorist attack on 2 mosques in New Zealand's Christchurch.Expressing shock over the incident, Navaid Hamid, of All India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat, umbrella body of various Muslim organisations, said: "No words to express shock and grief over the killing of peaceful worshipers at Christchurch mosque in New Zealand terror attack.""My heart goes to the bereaved families who are victims of Islamophobia created by western policies in the last 20 years," he added.He also questioned PM Narendra Modi's silence over the incident. However, the PM has expressed his "shock" over the accident in a letter to his New Zealand counterpart Jacinda Ardern.Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind General Secretary Maulana Mehmood Madni said that the incident was painful and condemnable."This is very painful and should be condemned in the strongest word. We, the Muslims, need to think as to why such incidents are happening. Of course, it is Islamophobia, but we need to look inwards as to what is wrong with the 'ummah' (community)," Madni said. IANS

Azhar terror tag: If soft talks fail, Big-3 planning UN vote to nail China
https://www.business-standard.com/article/current-affairs/azhar-terror-tag-if-soft-talks-fail-big-three-may-tighten-wrench-on-china-119031600135_1.html
US and 2 other permanent Security Council members, France and Britain, are believed to be in intense "good faith" discussions with China to arrive at a "compromise" on the UN designation of Jaish chief Masood Azhar as a global terrorist.And if that effort does not end up in the formal designation of Azhar, the 3 permanent members are planning to soon move a resolution for his listing in the most powerful wing of the UN which would be preceded by an open debate on the issue, according to people familiar with the matter.In the last 50 hours, it is believed that the original sponsors of Azhar resolution are having intense "good faith" consultations with China on what many familiar with the matter describe as a "compromise". This probably means Azhar would be designated as a global terrorist by the UN body, but the language of designation would include a language acceptable to China.China is believed to have suggested "certain changes" in the language of the terrorist designation. US, Britain and France are believed to be currently looking at the suggestions. It is understood that there is back-and-forth exchange of texts on the matter. The three countries have indicated that they are willing to accommodate Chinese request for changes in the language as long as it does not change the substance of the resolution and it ends up designating Azhar as a UN global terrorist.But unlike in the past, the US, France, Britain and other members of the Security Council are not willing to wait for long to conclude their discussion with China.It is learnt that China has been informed by these countries that they are seriously looking for other options, in particular, an open debate followed by a vote on a resolution to designate Azhar as a global terrorist, pretty soon.Not months, not weeks but days. This is what Beijing has been conveyed.At the same time, officials of these countries believe that China this time has been much more co-operative than in the past. But if, at any point the three countries get a feeling that China is not doing a good faith negotiation on the "compromise formula" that is being negotiated, they are ready with the other move.PTI

Srinagar: Days after the leadership of the largest socio-religious-political organisation,Jama’at-e-Islami J&K (JeI),were arrested along with other religious and separatist leaders, a second government crackdown seems imminent in J&K.“A list of around two hundred militant and Jama’at sympathisers, which includes government officials, has been prepared," sources in state administration revealed, adding that the "militant sympathisers would be arrested soon". Sources have said that government servants, including some senior officials, have been named in the list and will be removed from their positions.“These are the people who are working covertly. They not only provide financial and logistical support to the militants, separatists and other anti-national elements but also propagate separatist thought among youth,” a top official, who wished to remain anonymous, said.Police officials, including DG of J&K Police, Dilbagh Singh, however, refused to comment about the purported list.But, sources said that the government has been working on the list from some time now and the move is aimed at “cracking down on the support base of militants and separatists” so that “elections could be held peacefully”.As per the official source, most of the government employees whose names have figured in the list are teachers.“We have found a large number of government teachers actively doing subversive activities. They are also trying to propagate this at the place of their work, among colleagues and students,” the official said.news18

New Delhi: Civil rights organisation People’s Union for Democratic Rights (PUDR) has charged that taking advantage of people’s attention being focused on “escalation and de-escalation of tension between India and Pakistan” in February this year, the Centre “intensified repression in the state of Jammu and Kashmir”. It said over 300 people have been detained, and the ban on Jamaat-e-Islami too was “part of this ongoing repression”.A statement issued by PUDR has claimed that following the ban on Jamaat-e-Islami of Jammu and Kashmir on February 28, 2019, the state administration has picked up hundreds of persons and booked them under preventive detention laws.PUDR secretaries Deepika Tandon and Shahana Bhattacharya have claimed that the Centre’s invoking the ban by simply issuing a gazette notification was “illegal”.thewire

Bombay high court on Friday observed that an accused has a right to a fair trial while hearing a plea made by accused Areeb Majeed accused of indulging in alleged terrorist activities in Iraq. Majeed, in jail, pending trial, since his Nov.2014 arrest, was seeking call data records (CDRs) of 3 officers of NIA including an ASP and a senior police inspector and his father’s mobile numbers. Arguing in person before a bench of Justices Indrajit Mahanty and A M Badar, Majeed, who hails from Kalyan, asserted that NIA facilitated his return to India. He had moved the HC after a special NIA court in Mumbai, on Jan.10, rejected his CDR plea. He wanted CDRs of officers to back his stand that their location was at Mumbai airport when he arrived from Istanbul,to arrest him at 5.30am on Nov.28,2014. Majeed claimed that his air ticket was provided by the consulate which also issued him an emergency certificate at the behest of NIA.The HC, which reserved the matter for orders, also observed “this is not an investigation into the investigators…he has a right to cross-examine witnesses.’’ The hc made it clear that it was not making any observations either way on the case.

LS polls: Umar Khalid’s father S.Q.R. Iliyas in fray from Murshidabad’s Jangipur seat
https://www.thehindu.com/elections/lok-sabha-2019/umar-khalids-father-in-fray/article26547793.ece
Kolkata :JNU’s student leader Umar Khalid may not be in the fray, but his father is contesting from a north Bengal seat. S.Q.R. Iliyas of Welfare Party of India is contesting from Murshidabad’s Jangipur seat, previously secured by ex President Pranab Mukherjee’s son,Abhijit. He cited “worsening” condition of electors of Murshidabad, predominantly Muslims, as the reason for contesting from Jangipur.“7 to 8 lakh people migrate to Kerala from this area and there is very little employment opportunity despite fact that Jangipur produces good quality jute or mango. But those can’t be processed locally and they had to go to Kolkata. I’m highlighting such issues in my campaign,”Iliyas said. WPI mainly voices the issues of the minority community and Dalits. Seat– Jangipur– is one of critical ones in 2019. Left Front decided to leave it to Congress, but yet to wrap up the seat sharing deal.If Left and the Congress contests separately, thus splitting Muslim votes, which is about 70% of the constituency, and WPI can poll 50,000 votes, the seat will witness a very close quadrangular fight. Iliyas however feels WPI will “not split” the Muslim vote to the extent when it may benefit the BJP.“It will be either us or any one of the local Bengal parties,” he said.thehindu

Mumbai :When the Himalaya Bridge at CSMT station began wobbling dangerously Thursday evening, Zahid Khan’s first instinct was to push away his father Siraj who was behind him. That push to the chest saved the 60-year-old who watched in horror as his son fell to his death, crushed by cement slabs of the foot overbridge.32-year-old Zahid was one of 6 to die. At least 31 others were injured.On Friday, at Maitri Apartments in Ghatkopar West, Siraj’s neighbour Maksood Khan said: “Had Zahid not pushed away his father, he too would have died. He survived because the slabs that fell were a little ahead of him.”Zahid leaves behind his parents, a younger brother, wife and two daughters, one aged six and the other just eight months. indianexpress

New Zealand mosque attacker scrawled on his guns – from far-right murderers to prominent crusaders
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6812729/New-Zealand-killer-scrawled-inspiration-shooting-spree-guns.html
A white supremacist identifying himself as Australian Brenton Tarrant, 28, has killed at least 49 people and wounded 48 more after carrying out a far-right terror attack at mosques in New Zealand.During the massacre, which he live-streamed online, Tarrant could be seen using weapons scrawled with white text. He also posted images of the weapons to Twitter before the feed was taken down.An examination of the text reveals and obsession with historical figures who fought against the Ottoman Empire - the Islamic superpower of its day - other far-right attackers, and the Rotherham sex abuse scandal:David Soslan – A Georgian king of the 12th and 13th centuries, known for his military success in wars against neighbouring Muslim nations.

Australian Senator Slammed for Blaming NZ Attacks on 'Muslim Immigration'
https://thewire.in/world/australian-senator-slammed-for-blaming-nz-attacks-on-muslim-immigration
New Delhi: Queensland senator Fraser Anning has received widespread criticism for saying Friday’s mosque attacks in New Zealand were a result of the country’s immigration program “which allowed Muslim fanatics to migrate in the first place.”“Whilst this kind of violent vigilantism can never be justified, what it highlights is the growing fear within our community, both in Australia and New Zealand, of the increasing Muslim presence,” he reportedly said in a statement.SBS News on Friday tracked responses to senator Anning’s statement on social media, highlighting criticism emanating from across the political spectrum.Scott Morrison, the current prime minister of Australia, took to social media and said the senator’s remarks were “disgusting.” Similarly, former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull called the remarks “contemptible.”Home secretary of UK Sajid Javed also took to twitter calling senator Anning a “racist man.” thewire

https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/rest-of-world/muslim-leaders-blame-rise-in-islamophobia-for-attacks/articleshow/68434313.cms
Brussels: World leaders expressed condolences and condemnation following the deadly attacks on mosques in New Zealand, while Muslim leaders said the mass shooting was evidence of a rising tide of violent Islamophobia.Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan called the attacks the "latest example of rising racism and Islamophobia." Speaking at the funeral of a former minister, Erdogan said the Islamophobia that motivated the attacks "has rapidly started to take over Western communities like a cancer." Pakistan's PM Imran Khan echoed those sentiments. "I blame these increasing terror attacks on the Islamophobia post-9/11 where Islam & 1.3 bn Muslims have collectively been blamed for any act of terror by a Muslim," he tweeted. The secretary-general of 57-nation Organization of Islamic Cooperation, Youssef al-Othaimeen, said the attack "served as a further warning on the obvious dangers of hate, intolerance, and Islamophobia." Iran's foreign minister Javad Zarif said bigotry in Western countries contributed to the attacks in New Zealand. AP
'Your words matter': Muslim leaders condemn Trump's bigotry after New Zealand attack
https://www..net/news/your-words-matter-muslim-leaders-condemn-trumps-bigotry-after-new-zealand-attack
Donald Trump has "normalised" Islamophobia amid an international rise in white supremacist ideology, head of a Muslim-American civil rights group said just hours after an attack that killed dozens of worshipers at 2 mosques in New Zealand.In a rambling manifesto that referred to immigrants as invaders, the attacker, who gunned down at least 49 people in Christchurch, praised Trump as a "symbol of renewed white identity". Nihad Awad, executive director of Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), said that as the "leader of the free world", Trump's policies and statements have international implications beyond the borders of US."In many white supremacists' attacks on the American-Muslim community, the attackers cite Trump and cite his policies," Awad said."I don't think anyone of us should be surprised that what he says and what he does impacts the attitudes and actions of people, not only at home, but now abroad."Muslim and civil rights activists have long accused Trump of promoting intolerance with his rhetoric and policies.middleeasteye

A huge crowd has gathered in Algerian capital to protest for a 4th consecutive Friday demanding urgent change and an end to the rule of President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, who has been in power for 20 years. Demonstrators crammed streets and squares in central Algiers after Friday prayers, many draped in Algeria's red, green and white flag. Reuters news agency said protesters numbered in the hundreds of thousands, describing the rally as the biggest since the start of the rallies last month.Demonstrations also took place in Bejaia, Oran, Batna, Tizi Ouzou and other cities.The rally was the first major test of whether 82-year-old Bouteflika has calmed anger on streets with his surprise announcement on Monday that he would not seek reelection but would instead cancel the presidential poll scheduled for April 18."You pretend to understand us, we will pretend to listen to you," read a banner held aloft by the mostly young demonstrators."The options for the authority to stay in power have become nil," law student Kenza Sulaimani said. "We don't want to see anyone belonging to the present regime." Meanwhile, Algeria's ruling FLN party showed more signs of turning its back on Bouteflika, with one senior figure saying in an interview overnight that the long-serving president was "history now".Former spokesman Hocine Kheldoun, became one of the most senior FLN officials to break with Bouteflika publicly, saying the party had to look forward and support the aims of demonstrators.aljazeera

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/03/afghan-official-accuses-envoy-delegitimising-kabul-gov-190315183449029.html
A senior Afghan official has accused US of "delegitimising" the Kabul government by excluding it from peace talks with Taliban.Hamdullah Mohib, a national security adviser to Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, levelled a fierce attack on US Special Representative Zalmay Khalilzad, suggesting the veteran US diplomat held ambitions to run for political office in Afghanistan."Knowing Ambassador Khalilzad's history, his own personal history, he has ambitions in Afghanistan. He was wanting to run for president twice," Mohib told the Reuters."The reason he is delegitimising the Afghan government and weakening it, and at the same time elevating the Taliban can only have one approach.It's definitely not for peace."Mohib's comments were the most strident public complaints to date by an Afghan official over the Kabul's government's exclusion from negotiations with the Taliban.The latest round of US-Taliban talks, which lasted for 16 days, ended on Monday in Doha, Qatar. The sides reported progress, but no final deal on a withdrawal of US-led international forces."Perception in Afghanistan and people in government think that perhaps, perhaps all this talk is to create a caretaker government of which he will then become the viceroy," said Mohib.aljazeera

US will revoke or deny visas to International Criminal Court (ICC) personnel seeking to investigate possible war crimes by US forces or allies in Afghanistan, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said."ICC is attacking America's rule of law," Pompeo told a news conference on Friday. "I'm announcing a policy of US visa restrictions on those individuals directly responsible for any ICC investigation of US personnel.""We are determined to protect American and allied military and civilian personnel from living in fear of unjust prosecution for actions taken to defend our great nation."US officials have long regarded Netherlands-based ICC with hostility, arguing that American courts are capable of handling any allegations against US forces, and Pompeo framed the action against ICC as necessary to prevent international tribunal from infringing on US sovereignty. Supporters of the court slammed Pompeo's announcement on Friday. HRW called it "a thuggish attempt to penalise investigators" at ICC.Amnesty International described the move as "latest attack on international justice and international institutions by an administration hellbent on rolling back human rights protections". aljazeera

Hamas’ Office of Refugee Affairs said that restrictions imposed on Palestinian refugees in Lebanon and Syria have meant their numbers have forced them to flee.In its sixth annual report on Palestinian refugees who fled the war in Syria to Lebanon, the office said that lack of food, health care and shelter as well as the costs of correcting the refugees’ legal situation, spread of unemployment and the reduced relief have played a key role in reducing the Palestinian refugees’ numbers in both countries.The report noted that last year saw a significant decline in the number of Palestinian refugees by about 18,000 refugees according to estimates.
