How Zahran Hashim converted the radical Islamists of South into violent Jihadists
Background to this story from yesterday.
[OneIndia] Out of the 100 odd radicalisation videos that the NIA has seized, nearly half of them were discourses by Hashim, officials tell OneIndia. Mubin had, in 2019, been interrogated by the NIA for his links with Hashim.

It is becoming increasingly clear that the Coimbatore
...city in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu, known as the Manchester of South India for its textile industry, and is proud to regularly be counted among the ten best Indian cities in which to live, except when the local Muslims go on a bombing campaign. In the 1990s they called themselves Al Ummah, now they adopt other monikers...
blast by Islamists was driven by the thought of the Sri Lanka bomber Zahran Hashim. Most of the material that the National Investigation Agency has seized after Jameesha Mubin's car blew up near a temple in Coimbatore are related to the discourses by Hashim, a terrorist of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....

The NIA has learnt that Hidayatullah, a friend of Mubin, had launched a Facebook page called Khalifa GFX along with one Mohammad Azharuddin, a local Islamic State leader. Hidayatullah after securing bail has been working at a fabrication unit and since has told the NIA that he is no longer interested in the holy warrior ideology. He had been arrested in 2019 for attempting to set up an Islamic State wing in Coimbatore. The NIA, however, continues to keep a close watch on him.

Out of the 100 odd radicalisation videos that the NIA has seized, nearly half of them were discourses by Hashim, officials tell OneIndia. Mubin had, in 2019, been interrogated by the NIA for his links with Hashim. Mubin is believed to have had high regard for Hashim who was centric to several terror modules operating in South India.

This is, however, not the first time that Hashim's name is cropping up in a terror modus operandi busted down south. His name had cropped up following the murder of special sub-inspector Wilson. He was murdered in a Dire Revenge act by the Islamic State.

During the course of the investigation, the NIA had learnt that this was the same module inspired by Hashim which had planned the murder of several Hindu leaders. The primary objective was to launch strikes targeting Hindus and then create communal tensions in various parts of the country.

The NIA further learnt that the operatives of this module had been inspired by the violent mostly peaceful and holy warrior ideology preached by Hashim. They were shown speeches of Hashim on the social media. The NIA had also in 2020 conducted a raid in Coimbatore following which mobiles, laptops, documents and plans of terror strikes were seized.

Hashim was the ringleader of the bombers who carried out the Sri Lanka attack in 2019. Born in the Moslem coastal town of Kattankudy, in 1985 and in recent times this town has seen many visiting the Middle East in search of employment. This, in turn, resulted in increased Islamisation of the Wahhabi type, a scenario similar in Kerala.

Hashim was inclined towards this violent mostly peaceful ideology and would often argue with his teachers that they were too liberal in reading the Koran.

After spending time in Sri Lanka and radicalising a large number of Moslem youth, he relocated to India and began interacting with Moslem groups. His main purpose was to radicalise the Moslem youth in the Southern states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. His main focus was on Malappuram District of Kerala and Coimbatore, Trichy, Thirunelvely, Vellore, Nagapattinam. Kanniyakumari and Ramanathapuram Districts in Tamil Nadu.

During this period, he managed to penetrate the ideology of the Islamic State very deep. He would go around freely propagating the ideology and recruiting Moslems into the fold of the Islamic State. Until his visit, many were just backing and propagating the ideology. However,
corruption finds a dozen alibis for its evil deeds...
Hashim managed to change that and ensured that the Islamic State murderous Moslems practiced violent mostly peaceful jihad. This resulted in the murders of several Hindu leaders and now the Coimbatore blast.
