A new fatwa from the Beemapally Jamaat Mosque committee from Thiruvananthapuram warned traders in the district that they would be targeted if they failed to cooperate with processions taken out by Islamist terrorists. Traders are not just supposed to close their shops but also have to participate in agitations against the central government. The notice cautioned that those who open their businesses would be subjected to strict action. 

Emboldened by police inaction against PFI terrorists, radical mosques aligned with these extremists are introducing fatwas against Hindu traders in Kerala. The Beemapally Jammat is planning a Raj Bhavan march against the Uniform Civil Code(UCC), and that is when the traders are to down their shutters. These strategies are part of economic jihad, and extremists are trying to create instability in Kerala.  

The new fatwa came just a few hours after Popular Front of India (PFI) terrorist mobs took to the streets of Alappuzha, baying for Hindu and Christian blood and promising genocide. They used minor boys for sloganeering, and the Kerala police are yet to even ‘identify’ the boy or his parents after four days. Police arrested the PFI leader from Kottayam, who brought the boy to the PFI protest site, yet they could not recognize where he lives. 

Hartals undertaken by political parties usually request the citizens to cooperate with them. This is why terrorists use mosques as a cover to issue official fatwas. Ananthapuri Hindu Maha Sammelan chairman A Gopalan alleged that Thiruvanathapuram Vyapara Vyavasayi is behind such evil tendencies. 

Kerala Vyapari Vyavasayi Ekopana Samithi is a shady organization based out of Kozhikode. It is the largest traders organization in Kerala and puts up a secular face. It is alleged that it is just a front and is the main reason why Hindu traders have been eliminated from the state over the past three decades.  

The Vyapara Vyavasayi modus operandi is to use Muslim traders and rent commercial space in Hindu-dominated areas. More Islamists appeared once they began their trade and bought more space paying exorbitant prices. Ultimately the area becomes a Muslim-dominated one while the locality remains a Hindu majority area.  

These new traders are not locals but Islamists from Kasargod and Alappuzha. The shops inside the Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple fort now retain Hindu names but are owned by Islamists. The situation in the surrounding areas remains the same, and come darkness, eateries serving beef open up. Gopalan asked Hindus to ponder why this was happening.  

Allegedly, political interference is why the police cannot do their duties. Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan handles the home portfolio and openly aligns with the terrorist organization People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the upcoming byelections. PDP is led by Abdul Nasser Madani, the Islamist radical behind several acts of terror all over South Bharat, including multiple bombings. These terrorist groups are now openly operating at a time when Vijayan’s son-in-law PA Mohammed Riyas is facing severe charges of corruption.

The Beemapally area is infested with radical Islamists and is a no go zone for Kerala police. There are an estimated 28,000 extremists living in and around the mosque, and they have shown their true colors in the past. They rioted the last time during a Congress regime, and Hindu traders bore the brunt of looting.
