Thushara has been
receiving threats from Muslims ever since she opened her first
restaurant, Nandhuzzz Kitchen,
at the Palarivattom, and openly advertised that her restaurant served
non-halal meat and pork, going against Islamic religious law and are
catering to Hindus and Sikhs. The first of its kind, Thusara’s
restaurant attracted huge crowds.
Prompted by the positive response of customers, Thushara decided to
expand her business and booked commercial space at Kakkanad. She has
also invested generously in her new project. Muslims in the state of
Kerala were angered by seeing restaurants cropping up in the state that
served meat that didn’t comply with their religious beliefs, as these
restaurants were taking business away from the halal mafia. Thushara
says that these economic jihadis have been trying to find ways to
annihilate Hindu businesses in and around the thriving InfoPark area of
Kakkanad.
Thushara reveals that she has been getting threats since last week;
she was warned against advertising non-halal food on signboards, and
against serving pork in the Kakkanad area. But she refused to give in to
these Muslims, and went ahead with her project; the restauranteur was
preparing to inaugurate the new dining space. However, the trouble
intensified when she visited the site a few days ago.
She was confronted by jihadis who didn’t stop at just verbally
threatening her, but physically assaulted her as well. They tore off her
clothes, kicked her in the stomach, and hit her in the chest. The blows
were so brutal that the female entrepreneur began to urinate blood. It
was then that her staff, armed with with kitchen knives, rushed to
rescue her. Thushara had to be hospitalized. There are prominent signs
of the attack on her breast. She recounted the disturbing experience in a
Facebook video.
A victim of Muslim mob violence, Thushara says she received no
assistance from the local police. While they refused to lodge her
complaint against the Muslims, the police in turn accused her of selling
non-halal meat, and lodged a case against Thushara’s husband Ajith, who
was not even present at the site when the violence broke out. Police
were waiting outside the hospital room to arrest her, Thushara stated.
It is difficult to comprehend the action by the police and their
response to the beating of Thushara. India is a secular and independent
country in which citizens are allowed to engage in any legal business
and practice their faith. Thushara’s business of selling non-halal meat
was in accord with the faith she follows, and was not illegal. So why
did the police ignore the Muslim mob and book Thushara?
To understand this, one needs to understand the dynamics of Kerala.
This southern state of India has been ruled for years by a pro-Islamic
Communist government. Under the rule of this Communist government,
proponents of jihad and Sharia have thrived in the state. It has become a
breeding ground for ISIS, which has over 3200 sleeper cells there.
The Communist government cannot afford to anger the Muslims of the
state, as they are a major voting bloc. The state police generally obey
the state government and do what state officials demand, even at the
risk of committing an unconstitutional act.
As for halal food, the South Asian market is at a stage where the
halal economy is destroying all other businesses. Not only meat
products, but even grains and spices are sold with halal certification.
The growth of the halal economy translates to jobs for Muslims, which is
a faith-based employment and discriminatory against non-Muslims. A
halal certification attests that the product complies with Islamic law
and is permissible to be used by a Muslim. Promoting halal products to
non-Muslims is a passive imposition of Islam on them, given that it
forces non-Muslims to purchase and consume a product approved under
Islamic law.
Consumers around the world must wake up to the seemingly
harmless halal jihad that is tightening its tentacles around global
economies.
