In his latest audio broadcast, al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden made specific mention of India and a grand Zionist-Hindu conspiracy against Islam. Bin Laden's call to arms in India is directed at existing militant outfits with stakes in the Kashmir dispute who have become increasingly displeased with Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf's handling of the situation. This provocation of the decades-long dispute could put India at greater risk of becoming a target for local militants tied to the jihadist movement.
Analysis In an audiotape aired by Al Jazeera on April 23, Osama bin Laden for the first time spoke directly of India and the Kashmir dispute to support his claim that a Zionist-Hindu war is being waged against Muslims: "… a U.N. resolution passed more than half a century ago gave Muslim Kashmir the liberty of choosing independence from India. [U.S. President] George Bush, the leader of the crusaders' campaign, announced a few days ago that he will order his converted agent [Pakistani President Gen. Pervez] Musharraf to shut down the Kashmir mujahideen camps, thus affirming that it is a Zionist-Hindu war against Muslims."
He went on to say, "It is the duty for the Umma with all its categories, men, women and youths, to give away themselves, their money, experiences and all types of material support, enough to establish jihad particularly in Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan, Sudan, Kashmir and Chechnya." interests. The idea of a Crusader-Zionist-Hindu conspiracy has been thrown around for years in jihadist circles, with al-Zawahiri having developed most anti-India and anti-Hindu states.
Bin Laden's mention of India in his audio recording is intended to gear up existing militant outfits linked to the Kashmir dispute such as Pakistani underground movements Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed that have successfully staged attacks within Kashmir and in major Indian cities.

I swear, sometimes Osama exhibits all the symptoms of schizophrenia. Does he really believe that everyone in the world is involved in a complex "conspiricy" against Islam?
Conspiracy theories are divulged daily in mosques everywhere, even in places like Europe and America.
The Muslim mind withers without its daily dose of conspiracies. Their whole lifestyles seem to be guided by conspiracy theories. They have an explanation to not blame themselves for each and every actual reason for their myseries.

Our brothers in Kashmir have been subjected to the worst forms of torture for over 50 years. They have been massacred, killed, and raped. Their blood has been shed and their houses have been trespassed upon.
Still, the United Nations continues to sit idly by
