The Middle East Forum, a Philadelphia-based think tank, founded in 1990 by Daniel Pipes, who
serves as its president. It is dedicated
to defining American interests in the Middle East and protecting America from
Islamist threats. It achieves its goals through intellectual, activist, and
philanthropic efforts.
MEF became an independent non-profit organization in
1994. It publishes a journal, the Middle East Quarterly.
According to an article published in the said journal on
14th Nov.2018:
MEF is warning Americans about the risks of giving to
charities that are active in areas of the world where terrorist groups operate.
This comes in the wake of an investigation into World Vision, the international
evangelical aid charity, and its continued refusal to acknowledge the depths of
its involvement in the financing of a designated terrorist-funding Sudanese
charity linked to Osama Bin Laden, or to take any corrective measures to ensure it doesn’t
happen again.
I just want to draw the attention of those who follow
Sanatana Dharma to read in between the lines of the above statement. What we
infer from this is an organization called World Vision, the international
evangelical aid charity, which provides non-transparent charities of millions
and millions of US Dollars, to not only christen bands but to Islamic terrorist
groups also.
Ours being the isolated nation with Secular Tread Mark,
though Hindus are enjoying a majority as high as 79.8%, are not receiving any
charity from such Organisations nor we need it. As we stand alone, without any
open support of Central Government for various reasons nor the opposition
parties, have we not to be firm in safeguarding the chastity of our Dharma by
1. Adhering to it, 2. By studying it through our scriptures, 3. By exhorting
its greatness to the younger generation, 4. To keep our identity as the
followers of Sanatana Dharma, 5. To safeguard our monuments, 6. To show to the
world, the greatest Engineering skills far superior to Tajmahal, A Siva temple,
which was restructured as a grave of Mumtaj Mahal who was one of the 8 or 9
wives of Shah Jahan. Above all these there should be a devoted and dedicated
nonprofit organization which collects funds from affordable donors for the
welfare and upkeep of our Dharma.
One more important point to note is that never raise a
slogan that all religions are one because at the outset ours is not a religion
but a way of life. One more thing I would like to bring about is Gandhiji introduced a song to Indians as
follows:
Raghupati Raghava Rajaram Patit pavan Sitaram
Eswar Alla tero nam sabko sanmathi de bhagvan
For all the Indians. This is not sung by Christians as it
does not contain Jesus’ name. Muslims will not sing it as the song contains
Rama. So who are keeping the song live all =the way? It is only Hindus. The
other religions derive benefit out of this as we sing this and follow this by
letter and spirit and consider them on par with us but they do not do so.
Neither their holy book nor they consider us on par with them. On the contrary
those books envisage their followers to kill those who do not convert by any
means.
The unadulterated original text of the song is as follows
said to have been written by Sri Lakshmanacharya a Telugu man.:
Raghupati
Raghava Rajaram Patita Pavan Sitaram
Sundara Vigrah Meghasyam Ganga Tulasi Salagram
Bhadragireeshwara Sitaram Bhakta Janapriya Sitaram
Janaki Ramana Sitaram Jaya Jaya Raghava Rajaram
Every leader to whatever Dharma he belonged played with
Hindu Dharma only. Hence I urge the followers of Sanatana Dharma to be
compassionate to our Dharma and not to say all religions are one which is not
true in its own spirit.
Swasti
