Headley and Rana OR Daood and Tahawwur?
.
These days media is fascinated with two names: Headley and Rana. What makes the case interesting to me in the first place is how Indian media is using the names of “Headley” and “Rana” repeatedly, without ever clearly mentioning the real names of these two!
.
Real name of Headley (David Coleman Headley) is Daood Sayed Gilani and he is a Muslim. His father’s name is Sayed Salim Gilani, while his mother was Serrill Headley. Born in Washington to his parents, Daood Sayed Gilani attended school in Pakistan after his parents broke up, and then his mother took him to the US. Later on he became a US citizen. And this Daood Sayed Gilani changed his Muslim name to a Judaeo-Christian name to hide his Muslim identity'
.
Real name of Rana is Tahawwur Hussain Rana. His wife is Samraz Rana Akhthar; and both of them were born in Pakistan. Tahawwur Hussain attended his Military College in Pakistan, before migrating to Canada and becoming a Canadian citizen in 2001. Both Tahawwur Hussain Rana and his wife Samraz Rana Akhthar are doctors'
.
Now the first accusation on Headley aka Daood and Rana aka Tahawwur was that they had plotted attacks on the offices of Jyllands-Posten, the news paper which published the controversial cartoons of prophet Mohammad! Later on during the investigations, the FBI came to know that these two had come and stayed in Taj Mahal Hotel and had worked with Lashkar-e-Taiba to plot Mumbai terror attacks of Nov 2008.
.
Those of us, who would not have read about these two guys (as we have got saturated reading the news about Muslim terrorists), would pass them as just another terrorists. But these are not. These are another example of how Islamic terrorists are using international links to spread their terror and how highly educated and well-to-do Muslims are felling prey to the terrorism in the name of religion, all across the world.
.
The trend is devastating.
