Aruna Miller takes oath on Bhagwad Gita and radicals in US are unhappy
[OneIndia] Aruna Miller, a 58-year old Indian-American bevame the first Indian-American to be elected as the Lieutenant Governor (LG) of Maryland, United States.Aruna who took her oath of office on the Bhagwad Gita, a sacred Hindu scripture. This has however not gone down well with radical Islamist groups such as the Indian American Moslem Council. Known until 2010 as the Indian Muslim Council - USA, they claim to be the biggest organization of Indian Muslims in the U.S., committed to promoting peace, pluralism and social justice for all. But this is their first entry in our archives under either name. The founder of the IAMC, Sheik Ubaid, and member Abdul Malik Mujahid — appearing once in our archives as Iman Malik Mujahid, whoch I suspect contains a typo — have been heads of the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) which is the US front of Pakistan’s Jamaat-e-Islami. ICNA also has links to Lashkar-e-Tayiba. @iamwesmoore and Lt. Governor @arunamiller. The protestors are demanding that Lt. Gov. Miller apologise for her ties to Hindutva and donate the Hindutva money received during the campaign to charities, IAMC said in a tweet.Aruna Miller's open acceptance of the Hindu faith also did not go down too well with other radical Islamists. The Lions of Islam had earlier attacked Tulsi Gabbard, a former Congresswoman for following her Hindu faith. She had criticised the Islamist ideology and said that this had inspired terror attacks and the declaration of war against America after the 9/11 attack. Tulsi Gabbard also said that it is the Islamist ideology which fuelled terrorist attacks around the world and is also the foundation for the so-called Islamic countries, such as Pakistain, ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire... , Iran  ...They hate and Saudi Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were Saudis, to include Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century... for their discriminatory politicise against Christians, Hindus, Buddhists and Atheists. Elected representatives in the United States take oath on the Bible. Aruna Miller had said that Hinduism is not just a religion. According to her, it is more of a culture. We are the seekers of peace and making sure that good things happen in the world and others as well. The IAMC on the other hand has been drumming up an anti-Hindu sentiment for long. There have been instances when it has rewarded journalists for drumming yup an anti-India sentiment.
