മതപരിവർത്തന തന്ത്രങ്ങളുടെ കേരളാസ്റ്റോറി

---------------------------------------------------------------

രചയിതാക്കൾ: സന്തോഷ് ബോബൻ & വി. ആർ മധുസൂദനൻ

‘മതപരിവർത്തനത്തിന്റെ രാഷ്ട്രീയം’ എന്ന കൃതി രചിച്ച ശ്രീ സന്തോഷ് ബോബൻ ജിയാണ് ഈ ഗ്രന്ഥത്തിന്റെ ആദ്യഭാഗം

(“ദി കേരളസ്റ്റോറിയ്ക്ക് സാക്ഷ്യംവഹിക്കുന്ന ആർഷവിദ്യാസമാജം”) രചിച്ചത്. രണ്ടാം ഭാഗം (“തിളങ്ങുന്ന സാക്ഷ്യപത്രങ്ങൾ”) ആർഷവിദ്യാസമാജത്തിന്റെ മുഖ്യസംയോജകനും അധ്യാപകനുമായ ശ്രീ വി. ആർ മധുസൂദനൻ ജിയാണ് സമാഹരിച്ചത്.

ആർഷവിദ്യാസമാജത്തിന്റെ ഡീ-റാഡിക്കലൈസേഷൻ കൗൺസിലിംഗിന് വിധേയരായി തിരികെ എത്തിയ ആയിരങ്ങളുണ്ട്. അവരിൽ കുറച്ചു പേരുടെ അനുഭവങ്ങളിൽ ചിലത് മാത്രമാണ് ഇവിടെ കുറിച്ചിട്ടുള്ളത്. മക്കൾക്ക് രോഗം വന്നാൽ ആശുപത്രിയിലെത്തിക്കാം, മാനസികപ്രശ്നങ്ങളുണ്ടായാൽ ചികിത്സിക്കാൻ മാനസികാരോഗ്യ കേന്ദ്രങ്ങളുമുണ്ട്. ലഹരിയ്ക്ക് അടിമയായാൽ കൊണ്ടുപോകാൻ ഡീ-അഡിക്ഷൻ സെന്ററുകളും നിരവധി. എന്നാൽ തെറ്റായ ഈശ്വരസങ്കല്പവും അപകടകരമായ ജീവിത വീക്ഷണങ്ങളുമായി മതഭ്രാന്ത് ബാധിച്ച്, ഈശ്വരനും ഗുരുപരമ്പരകൾക്കും ധർമ്മത്തിനും കുടുംബത്തിനും സമൂഹത്തിനും രാഷ്ട്രത്തിനും ലോകത്തിനുമെതിരെ കലിതുള്ളുന്ന മക്കളെ കണ്ട് കണ്ണീരൊഴുക്കുന്ന, അവരെ എങ്ങോട്ട് കൊണ്ടുപോകണം എന്നറിയാതെ കുഴങ്ങുന്ന ആയിരക്കണക്കിന് മാതാപിതാക്കൾ കേരളത്തിൽ മാത്രമല്ല ഇതരസംസ്ഥാനങ്ങളിലും വിദേശ രാജ്യങ്ങളിലുമുണ്ട്. ഇവരുടെ സംഖ്യ ദിനംപ്രതി വർദ്ധിക്കുകയുമാണ്. അവർക്ക് ഒരു രക്ഷാകേന്ദ്രമുണ്ടെന്ന അറിവ് പ്രദാനം ചെയ്യുകയാണ് ഈ ഗ്രന്ഥത്തിന്റെ പ്രസാധനത്തിലൂടെ ലക്ഷ്യമാക്കുന്നത്. അതോടൊപ്പം ഇത്തരം പ്രശ്നങ്ങളുടെ കാരണങ്ങൾ കണ്ടെത്തി പരിഹരിക്കണമെന്നുള്ള തിരിച്ചറിവ് കൂടി സമൂഹത്തിന് നൽകാൻ കഴിഞ്ഞെങ്കിൽ പ്രസാധകരുടെ ഉദ്ദേശം സഫലമായി. ആർഷവിദ്യാസമാജത്തിന്റെ ലക്ഷ്യം, മാർഗം, പ്രവർത്തനപദ്ധതി എന്നിവയെല്ലാം അനുബന്ധത്തിൽ കൊടുത്തിട്ടുണ്ട്.

Watch "Americans Have a Rage Problem | The Daily Show" on YouTube https://youtu.be/RcmNNtOwIQg Mormons = white ISIS. 😂 Same with conservatives in general, per the press. I've read and heard it wasn't that way until Newt Gingrich. He ruined the Republican party. Mormons in Oroville tried to justify this by showing me the song, by Tears for Fears, everybody wants to rule the world. And in Utah, the showed me the album by The Cranberries, Everybody is doing it so why can't we? The media fuels this. Social media included. You've, we've al become journalists. We're all part of fake news. Remember Will or Roy Rogers? Don't believe anything you read and only half of what you see. Pretend you've never seen ANY news or negative books. Just see the humans standing in front of you.. If they're not stabbing you in the face with a screwdriver, they're probably decent people. Unless you're evil, then maybe they're being neglectful lol just kidding that's the job of cops to apprehend. You're probably just crazy. Same for Psychiatry. I'm pretty sure most stuff is cuz others say this or that about an enemy, family member, etc that won't conform to religion, as in my case, or to societal norms like LGBTQIA people suffer or politics. Did you know they used to put not just scientists and politics people in nut houses but LGBTQIA because not being straight was seen as a mental illness? That's like the Mormon joke that goes "yo momma so Mormon she thinks not feeling the Spirit is a mental illness." Or yo momma so Mormon she thinks a coffee table is against the word of wisdom. That's my family and all the wards they move me into. Perhaps Mormons are ok more often than i realize and my fanatical family finds the crazies. #religiousextremism #religiousabusesurvivor #ptsdsurvivor #tbisurvivor these people are a menace but they run the show. That's why the world was screwed . We need Science. #sciencematters (at North Ogden, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQRj7g4B_nZ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Three hundred twenty-five years ago today. Figured I might as well share this gem while I'm at it. 325 years ago tonight, my 9x great grandmother Sarah Bassett was sitting in a cold, foul, "gaol" in Boston because the gaol in Salem was full. She was pregnant, accompanied by her two year-old daughter, and accused of witchcraft. Her in-laws, John and Elizabeth Proctor, were already in gaol for the same crime, on similar trumped up charges. Read 'The Crucible' to see how those two fared. Grandma Sarah was spared the noose, but was forced to endure more than 7 months of wrongful incarceration. #thatwasawitchhunt #innocentvictims #religiousextremism #familyhistorymatters #historymatters

The article Islamic State embraces gunman Man Haron Monis over Sydney siege, published in the Australian on December 30, 2014, refers to the awful and unexpected attack on the Lindt Cafe in Sydney’s CBD, carried out by Muslim extremist, Man Haron Monis, which shocked Australia and caused a ripple effect of fear. The article comments on the fact that Islamic State came out of the woodwork and embraced Man Haron Monis as one of their own, and thus taking responsibility for the siege by association. They don’t admit to making him do it but rather take him in for his noble martyrdom in the sake of Allah’s name. Islamic State is a religious extremist group known for their brutal acts against those they believe to be infidels (or kāfir) - and they have achieved massive speculation over the course of the year, and now command a huge influence of power world over, speaking to any religious extremist who wants to take arms against the corrupt western system. 

Islamic State is a non-state actor: a small terrorist organisation which has become massive throughout the Middle East, namely Syria and Iraq. Unfortunately, they now wield a huge amount of power, and by taking responsibility of singular acts of terror they are able to expand their horizons and inflict more fear upon those they seek to destroy. Their power spans wide, and they are a growing army of either those who willingly join or those who have been kidnapped in order to help the ‘noble’ soldiers of Muhammad. In no way do they represent the Muslim faith, but rather an extremist sect who use violence to quash opposition. 

The Islamic State has a clear aim and that is to of course rid the land of infidels. By taking responsibility for the Sydney Siege they are putting their name to another act of terror and thus the killing of those they consider unpure. On their website they commend those who carry out killings for the group and encourage others to see the light and do the same. From this, their aim is being achieved as enough extremists are willing to commit incredibly violent acts in the name of ‘religion’. They have taken up the role as an extremely powerful and explosive threat who command impressive influence and want to see immense destruction world over. From this, it can be seen that they need to be suppressed in order to reduce their influence.
