Punishment for Blasphemy

This entry is part [part not set] of 19 in the series Zakir Naik Exposed

Last week we published an article condemning the glorification of assassination of Governor of Punjab in Pakistan. In the aftermath of the incident, many a vocal supporters of the assassin have hailed this murder as a great example and reaffirmation of the revival of Islamic era of middle ages. Some even commented on this site. However a small minority of moderate Muslims have also condemned the murder as against spirit of Islam.
On Jan 10, 2011, Maulana Wahiduddin Khan published an article Blasphemy and the Islamic way in Times of India that asserted that “Blasphemy law has no basis in Islam”. We offer our sincerest accolades to Maulana for his attempt to delineate Islam from intolerance and cold-blooded fanaticism. In spirit of Vedic tolerance, the peace-loving Maulana claims that “To use abusive language against the Prophet or to praise him are both a matter of one’s own choice. Whatever the choice, it is in God’s domain to pass judgment on it. Muslims have nothing to do in this situation except try to remove the misunderstanding and then leave the rest to God…..Islam suggests capital punishment for only one offence, and that is murder.”
We pray for long life of such peace-loving Muslims. However if his assertions are indeed true, then there is something grossly wrong with Islam as it is known, practiced and propagated in entire world. We would like Maulana to share his thoughts (clear and unambiguous) on following:
a. There is hardly a Muslim dominated country that does not have a blasphemy law. Does the Maulana imply that ALL these countries and ALL the representatives of Islam in these countries are following a wrong Islam or are NOT Islamic at all?
b. If that be true then the claim of Islam being the fastest growing religion is also wrong. Because when Islam stands for peace, how can anyone supporting blasphemy law amounting to death of non-believer be a Muslim in first place? Will the Maulana state his clear views on this?
c. Zakir Naik – the latest prophet of Islam (here from Islam we mean the ideology which Zakir and his followers claim to follow. We should call it rather Zakirism, a new sect within Islam which glorifies Yazeed, which advocates apostate killing, which copy the content from Qadiyani books without acknowledging and so on..), who is considered essential by many to understand the Prophet of Allah – has clearly divergent views on blasphemy. He states (refer http://www.islamicvoice.com/April2006/QuestionHour-DrZakirNaik/ ):
“The punishment for blasphemy in most of the major religions is death. It is stated in the Old Testament of the Bible, which is the authority for both the Jews and the Christians: And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: [Book of Leviticus 24:16]

Moreover, if we read Manusmriti, the Law book of the Hindus, it says: “If a man born of a lower class intentionally bothers a priest, the king should punish him physically with various forms of corporal and capital punishment that make men shudder.” [Manusmriti 9:248]

Regarding the punishment for blasphemy in Islam, it is mentioned in the Glorious Qur’an: “The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter;” [Surah Al-Maidah 5:33]. In Islam, a person who has committed blasphemy can either be killed or crucified, or his opposite hands and feet can be cut off, or he can be exiled from that land. On the other hand, in other religions there is no other option except capital punishment. Islam at least has four options of punishment for an act of blasphemy.”
As with all of Zakir Naik’s works, this work is also full of blatant loopholes and errors. Let us review that:
– He claims in last sentence that except Islam, all religions propose only death sentence for blasphemy. However the verse from Manusmriti that he gives suggests corporal and capital punishment. Corporal means physical punishment like beating and caning not amounting to death or permanent damage to organs. Thus he himself proves that his claim on Manusmriti is wrong.
– Further, what he has presented is a verse from adulterated Manusmriti which is neither followed nor considered authentic by any scholar. We very clearly reject the verse as against Vedas and baseless. Will Zakir Naik adopt the same standard for the verse from Quran that he presented by rejecting it?
No, he will not. Because he is among those fanatics who justify death for blasphemy.
– His views on Old Testament may be right. After all Testaments were also brutal texts and hence not followed by Christians and Jews themselves today! And we believe that it has been source of intolerance in world today. But can he cite even a single verse of this nature from Vedas – the sole authority for Hindus?
– Zakir says that “Islam at least has four options of punishment for an act of blasphemy”. Just gauge the heights of his perversion. Of the 4 options – two are crucification and killing. This is like saying two options are murder and assassination! The third option is even worse than death – cutting all the limbs. The most humane option is to exile him in hot desert and allow nature to kill him!
But the bottomline is that Zakir Naik believes that some sort of punishment MUST be given for blasphemy which if not death is worse than death.
Coming back to Maulana, will he clearly and unambiguously condemn Zakir Naik for his stand which is completely opposite to humanistic stand of Maulana? Will he warn Muslims to not follow Zakir if they want to follow Islam? We would request Maulana to do so if he is sincerely dreaming of a peaceful Islam.
d. Maulana states that: “In the Islamic scriptures, the Quran and the Hadith, there is no such injunction to deliver physical punishment to one who commits blasphemy.”
Now what would be Maulana’s stand if we indeed show such verses in Quran and Hadith? And we shall show for non-believers in general.For example:
– One verse has been presented by our Zakir Bhai himself as mentioned above. This is Quran 5.33.
Now some more:
– Sahih Muslim Book 19, Number 4292: Ibn ‘Aun reported: I wrote to Nafi’ inquiring from him whether it was necessary to extend (to the disbelievers) an invitation to accept (Islam) before meeting them in fight. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) made a raid upon Banu Mustaliq while they were unaware and their cattle were having a drink at the water. He killed those who fought and imprisoned others. On that very day, he captured Juwairiya bint al-Harith. Nafi’ said that this tradition was related to him by Abdullah b. Umar who (himself) was among the raiding troops.
– Book 19, Number 4293: This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Ibn ‘Aun and the name of Juwairiya bint al-Harith was mentioned beyond any doubt.
– Book 19, Number 4321: It is reported on the authority of Sa’b b. Jaththama that the Prophet of Allah (may peace be upon him), when asked about the women and children of the polytheists being killed during the night raid, said: They are from them.
– Book 19, Number 4322: It is narrated by Sa’b b. Jaththama that he said (to the Holy Prophet): Messenger of Allah, we kill the children of the polytheists during the night raids. He said: They are from them.
– Book 19, Number 4323: Sa’b b. Jaththama has narrated that the Prophet (may peace be upon him) asked: What about the children of polytheists killed by the cavalry during the night raid? He said: They are from them.
– Book 16, Number 4154: ‘Abdullah (b. Mas’ud) reported: Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) stood up and said : By Him besides Whom there is no god but He, the blood of a Muslim who bears the testimony that there is no god but Allah, and I am His Messenger, may be lawfully shed only in case of three persons: the one who abandons Islam, and deserts the community [Ahmad, one of the narrators, is doubtful whether the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him) used the word li’l-jama’ah or al-jama’ah), and the married adulterer, and life for life.
Punishment-for-Blasphemy
The definition of Islam is given in an earlier hadith:
– Book 16, Number 4152: ‘Abdullah (b. Mas’ud) reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying : It is not permissible to take the life of a Muslim who bears testimony (to the fact that there is no god but Allah, and I am the Messenger of Allah, but in one of the three cases: the married adulterer, a life for life, and the deserter of his Din (Islam), abandoning the community.
– Sahih Bukhari, Book 38, Number 4390: Narrated Atiyyah al-Qurazi: I was among the captives of Banu Qurayzah. They (the Companions) examined us, and those who had begun to grow hair (pubes) were killed, and those who had notwere not killed. I was among those who had not grown hair.
– Quran 9:5: Then, when the sacred months have passed — that is, [at] the end of the period of deferment — slay the idolaters wherever you find them, be it during a lawful [period] or a sacred [one], and take them, captive, and confine them, to castles and forts, until they have no choice except [being put to] death or [acceptance of] Islam; and lie in wait for them at every place of ambush, [at every] route that they use (kulla, ‘every’, is in the accusative because a [preceding] genitive-taking preposition has been removed). But if they repent, of unbelief, and establish prayer and pay the alms, then leave their way free, and do not interfere with them. God is Forgiving, Merciful, to those who repent. (Jalalyan)
– Quran 3.28 forbids Muslims to trust non-Muslims. It says: “Let not the believers take the disbelievers as Auliya (supporters, helpers, etc.) instead of the believers, and whoever does that will never be helped by Allah in any way, except if you indeed fear a danger from them. And Allah warns you against Himself (His Punishment), and to Allah is the final return.” How can then words of a Muslim in a non-Muslim country be taken at face value?
We have only provided a small sample. The modern Quran and Hadiths are replete with such references. And mind you, we have not created these translations. These are the ones published, circulated, propagated by various Muslim bodies themselves, including Zakir Naik.

Thus, will the Maulana assert that,
either
1. He rejects these verses of Quran and Hadiths as false and believes that there is no place for such verses in Islam
or,
2. He asserts that these verses have been wrongly translated. In that case, the translators of these verses have done greatest damage to Islam.
In the 2nd case, should he not lead a movement for ban on such translations of Quran? (these being perhaps the ONLY translations of Quran and Hadiths available in market today) Note that it is these translations that are causing greatest damage to cause of ‘peaceful’ Islam. Would he condemn all those people and publishers who endorse these translations?
Our stand is clear:
We appreciate the peaceful vision of Maulana. But mere words would not suffice. he should now take a step ahead,
clearly condemn likes of Zakir Naik,
clearly reject either objectionable verses of Quran and Hadiths, or their translations as available today
present alternative translations in case of latter,
and condemn all the countries and people who justify blasphemy laws as anti-Islamic.
We would like to join the Maulana in this noble mission.
One more issue, before we end the article:
e. Maulana states that: “This law was only made during the Abbasid period and is an expression of the imperatives of that period. At that time, the Muslims had established their empire and were in political supremacy. Due to their sense of pride at having accomplished this, they made such a law. But it was a clear innovation. And according to the Hadith, every innovation in the religion of Islam must needs be rejected.”
Would he also explain the following:
– If Blasphemy law was only made during Abbasid period, how come all the first few Caliphs who came at least 200 years before Abbasid dynasty killed in name of peaceful Islam? And how could dynasty of killer of the grandsons of Muhammad be allowed to lead Islam for 200 years? If killing of every other person in name of Islam was legitimized since the very first Caliph, how can one assert that specific law of against blasphemy was made only 200 years later. Especially when Quran and Hadiths also clearly mention it?
To know more about murders of almost all the initial Caliphs and relatives of Muhammad, refer http://agniveer.com/3270/foundations-of-islamic-terrorism/. In summary, Muhammad himself is suspected to be murdered by his wife. Second Caliph Umar was also murdered. Then caliph Uthman who had the Quran compiled and given its name for first time was murdered by son of Abu Bakr while he was reading Quran. Then Ali, next Caliph, was also murdered. Some scholars say that Aisha – arch enemy of Ali and wife of Muhammad – was also murdered. Hassan, son of Ali and grandson of Muhammad was murdered. Then his brother Hussain was murdered in battle of Karbala. Even the innocent Sakina was not spared and killed ruthlessly. The killers started the Umayed Caliphate dynasty which then represented Islam. Thus actual Islam, as we know today, began only after all the closed ones and relatives of Muhammad was murdered one after another. Even the original Quran (compiled 20 years after Muhammad’s death) is not available today.
In such a situation, how can one even trust the current Quran to be true and same as what Muhammad (supposed to be illiterate by Muslim scholars) wanted to give? [Please visit http://agniveer.com/3118/miracle-islam/ to know that how Quran was compiled]. Of course, nowadays, all intellectual scholars completely reject the Hadiths (deeds of Muhammad) as fraudulent texts. But fanatic Muslims swear by its name because only Hadiths give the stamp of intolerance that modern Islam is famed to have. And moderate Muslims fear to take panga with the fanatic perverts!
We thus request Maulana, to shed light on these critical issues so that he can lead the utterly victimized Muslim population – disgraced by deeds and words of their fanatic Mullahs and popular representatives like Zakir Naik – towards respect and trust they truly deserve. And in process display that Maulana stands for truth and truth alone, and would be always eager to reject falsehood immediately in true spirit of humanity.
We would also like to see how many mainstream Islamic schools – like Darul Uloom Deoband and Islamic research Foundation – condemn the killing in name of blasphemy and logically explain the issues raised in this article in unambiguous terms (assuming they have the caliber and intent to use logic). If they do not, they are simply fooling the Muslim population for their selfish and perverted desires. And turning world into hell in process.
May all those beliefs and believers go to Hell who believe that all non-believers will go to Hell…forever!
And all peaceful forces of world unite together to promote religion of universal humanism regardless of whether we are Hindu, Muslim, Christian or anything else.

  1. Excellent work….!!!
    100% agree with last line i.e “May all those beliefs and believers go to Hell who believe that all non-believers will go to Hell…forever!”
    btw i asked my boss who is muslim about blasphemy and he said blasphemy is there in islam but common person has no right to kill blasphemer only government which is running as per shariyat has right to punish blasphemer…….
    Thanks,
    Pushpraj

    • Hi agniveer team
      Thanks for all of your great works and intellectual and non terrorist rise of hinduism again. I regularly read your posts articles on different religion on different religions specially on muslims and koran. We two religion (vast) have been leaving aside nearly a millennium having a wall between even we share a same culture, language society. The analysis of vedas, geeta and koran let us know where is the problem. after knowing about koran in this site I tried to know about it. Many things are blar and confusing if I ask any muslim their answer is quite illogical and forceful.
      **The starting of koran is confusing to me. The very first verse starts with “READ in the name of your lord”
      But what to read. Arabs had no other texts before islam. The bible, Taorat, or other book muslim refuse to believe because there is no mention of muhammad in those. (and even allah) so there is no logic to read them. The koran compiled after 20 years of mohammad’s death as a text. Then why did koran started saying read when there were no readable thing for muslims. How could they read it before compiling even before cast on muhammad.

      • The verse is referres by many of the Muslim scholars as an indication on how much Allah (GOD) emphasises on obtaining knowledge as knowledge is one of the keys to obtaining success. The concept of obtaining knowledge is ephasised by from various verses of the Quran and the sayings of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny). To just cite one hadith (saying): “The sleep of an Aalim (knowledgeable person) is better than a whole nights worship of an Aabid (worshipper). The fact that this is the first verse of the Quran to be revealed shows how much vaue knowledge has in Islam. Another deduction from this verse that can be made is tat as Alla (SWT) does not specify what to read, Allah (SWT) does not only emphasise on Islamic or even religious knowledge but any knowledge as long as it is good for humanity. This also counters the claims of some of the Non-Muslims that Islam promotes blind faith. Whe nthe first verse ogf the Holy Quran to be revealed is commanding us to gain knowledge, how can anyone think that the Quran promotes blind faith. IThe command des not just refer to reading rligious Scriptures butall forms of knowledge but any thing which was (and is) creative.
        Let me also add that we Muslims do believe that the various scriptures that you have mentoned were revealed to His Prophets (peace be upon the all): the Torah to Prophet Moses (Musa) and the Bible (Injeel) to Prophet Jesus (Isa) – peace be upon them – but it is just that they have been distorted and can no longer be used now.

      • So, I have a question. As a Christian, I am very interested in knowing when and how the Bible was distorted. I often hear the claim that “The Bible is no good because the people who kept watch over it didn’t have the knowledge/technology to keep it succinct with what God said.” Of course, whenever I hear this, I have to wonder–if it’s possible for a 12 year old to memorize the Qoran, then how is it not possible for those who kept the law to either memorize it verbatim or come up with a way to record and protect that which is in the Bible even today?

      • While you advocate knowledge in Islam, “Who and why shot Malala”? This puts the arbitrary theory in Islam vis a vis practice a taboo. Or at best hide under the garb of Taqiya. It is this existence of Taqiya in Quran that is really worrisome. It puts the Islam in dock as a true religion or its basis for a religion. People have genuine curiosity that must be satisfied.

      • Where is agniveer now a days? Agniveer/Vajra/Indian Agnostic. We hardly seen these scholar in comment section.

  2. Maulana’s words have no value at all as he is just a face saver of islam. Any representative of islam such as maulana/mulla/islamic-scholars etc are highly cunning people. They always give such types of pacifying statements to foll the non-muslims whenever a group of fanatic muslims creates extreme terror by brutally killing/torturing those who do not act in the way muslims want.
    As muslim think-tank know well that the act of killing/torture by muslims will cause disgrace to muslims and non-muslims might start hating muslims and try to retaliate. By their past experiences, they also know well that muslims are sure to get defeated badly and suffer huge damage if the non-muslims would retaliate. Hence, that group of cunning muslims would strategically try to do the damage-control in a clever way, save the image of islam and brainwash non-muslims in favor of islam by loosely saying that the act of killing/torture was actually done by some fanatics against the spirit of so called peaceful islam.
    Note that both the groups mentioned above are equally fanatic in reality. They secretly support one-another and do their best to terrorize people who don’t respect islam. One uses gun and sword, and the other uses cleaver twists of false statements. One commits brutality, and the other safeguards him by using deceitful diplomacy. The Maulana simply belongs to the second group of muslims. It will be quite wrong to believe that the Maulana is a peace loving person just due to his dry statement.
    Any peace loving logical minded person would no longer remain a muslim, and prefer to leave islam as soon as possible in stead of defending koran/sharia/hadith/muhammad by giving dry logic that are totally inconsistent with what almost all muslims do in practice.
    I fully agree with Ali Sina of faithfreedom.org who is of the opinion that no moderate muslim exists on this earth. A muslims is either a terrorist or a potential terrorist due to following the inhumane teachings of Muhammad/Koran/Sharia/Hadith either aggressively or even loosely . So, any muslim cannot be trusted as long as he/she continues to be a muslim. Only a genuine ex-muslims can be trusted. However, one must beware of fake ex-muslims (such as Obama) as he/she might be doing taqaiyah (cheating) to fool the non-muslims.
    How can a logical minded person having humanist way of thinking continue to a be muslim as islam allows
    (1) a muslim man to marry up to 4 ladies at a time and divorce any or all of them just by uttering “talaq” few times and then become eligible for marrying other ladies. He is not required to even to give any sort of support to the divorced wife for the livelihood in the rest of her life.
    (2) wife beating as a right of husband.
    (3) the dangerous concept of islamic brotherhood, that is, giving more importance to islam than to one’s country —allowing to betray one’s country and fellow citizens for the cause of islam.
    (4) killing a muslim who leaves islam.
    (5) killing a muslim girl/lady who marries a non-muslim guy, but always crave for the opposite.
    (6) killing or brutally torturing those who criticizes and questions the illogical, anti-humane and anti-women rules of islam/ kuran/ muhammad/ sharia.
    (7) lying or cheating (taqaiyah) to fool non-muslims whenever required.
    (8) cut the limbs of a thief.
    (9) requiring minimum 4 eye-witnesses to prove the rape charges, else beating the rape victim and complainant with hundreds of lashes if she fails to produce the desired number of eye-witnesses.
    (10) forcing ladies for hijab/ burqa from top to toe.
    (11) produce countless number of children from every muslim lady just to increase the head counts and blind supporters/ fighters of islam. It creates chaos and scarcity of all types of resources.
    (12) generalizing that all women are less intelligent than men and hence witnesses of two women equals witness of one man.
    (13) raping a virgin girl as an official formality to make her non-virgin if she is to be given death penalty.
    (14) superstitiously considering muhammad as an ideal and perfect man, and kuran an ideal book. Also to foolishly believe in the concept of imaginary allah, angel, heaven, hell, judgment-day without raising any doubt against these.
    (15) love-jehad, muslim men seducing non-muslim girls in their love-trap, convert them to islam, marry them and produce so many children from them who would repeat the process.
    (16) many more nonsense, illogical, barbaric, deceitful, unethical and inhumane rules/practices.
    If any person supports any of the above islamic rules/practices either openly or silently, then his/her claim to be a moderate/peace loving person is just a hypocrisy, lie, deceit and cheating. If a person is a muslim, then he/she definitely supports one or more or all of the above rules, at least silently. So, he/she cannot be trusted.

    • I agree with your theses. Muslims are extremely fanatic and will kill anybody who blasphemes. But if they do that in India, first their name will be spoilt even further, and then ofcourse the hindu retaliation. Hence these CUNNING people will use any camoflauge so as not to antagonise non-muslims. NEVER trust a muslim . They are the most devious people. And yes their death cult islam teaches them that deceiving the enemy (non-muslims) is kosher, they call it taqiyaa. Deception.
      Now the only way forward is instead of debating with these idiots, we should start another blasphemy law in India this time for hinduism. Blasphemy law against muslims calling non-muslims kaffir. Basically, pay them backl in the same coin.
      We should carry the same board shown in the photo above.
      behead those who insult hinduism
      butcher those who mock hinduism.
      HAR HAR MAHADEV

      • @hindu militant
        Namaste brother,
        Brother, I understand your hatred that you have for jihadis, but it does not mean we demean and attack innocent muslims out there who do not even know anything about Sharia. They are all victims of this cult and we should help them return to Vedic Dharma.
        Now, if we start blasphemy laws for hinduism, what will be the difference between fanatic muslims and us then?
        We should take this anger upon people like Zakir Naik who support terrorism and most importantly support these stupid sharia laws on blasphemy. If you are angry and have hatred for these stupid laws, then my advice is start from Zakir Naik since he promotes this nonsense. Help all of us in this noble mission by circulating all these excellent articles to everybody. This is the only way to tear apart the Zakir Naik’s propaganda. Zakir Naik waged a war against humanity not by using swords, but by fanatic arguments, so now, we should also counter and attack Zakir Naik and his fanatic supporters by our logical arguments in order to expose him infront of all the innocent muslims.
        So, please show your anger towards Zakir Naik and lets all work together to destroy his false propaganda.
        regards,
        Vik

      • Dear Agniveer and team,
        recently I got a phone call from a place called Salam centre in bangalore, they were asking me if i would be interested in reading quran in my own language….later on i found out they have a complete infrastructure build where they have setup a call centre aimed only at conversions and they have multiple distribution centres….. where ever there is a public gathering, these guys are distributing qurans in thousands per day and this is happening all over karnataka…. while our bull shit BJP CM is busy with his scams and petty fight with congress, here these guys are using the oppurtunity to force people convert, in fact day before yesterday i met a recent convert, that guy had no clue why he got converted but fact was he was converted (including circumsizing)…my only concern is generally the people who get converted are very weak in mind and likely to be brainwashed to take up anti social activities…. do you know where i can complain on this salam “conversion” center?. incidently the Mr Nayak is also part of this salam”gulam” centre……

      • you say they’re forcing people to convert, and on the other hand you said that they called and ASKED you if you’d like to read the Quran…a lil contradictory man

      • @Blustery
        This is the way they follow to do conversion. My personal experience. I was walking along side the road in Hyderabad. Two guys came to me and asked me that ‘you can develop Personality up by visiting a place’ they mentioned a address to visit. I visited the place next day as promised by me. After reaching there, i found so many people are there and each one is assigned to one more person. Immediately they started reading Bible and quotes verses against Idol worshiping and asking me, not to visit temples and start to believe in Jesus. But I was strong at my mind that Hinduism is Sarvotham. So I rejected him. After few days I noticed one person who came on that days along with me, was going to Church near area. So brother what i understand is they will ask so many people to come and some of them will fall into their trap. Beware of these cults.
        But now because of Agniveer Team. Now I can convert them and bring the converted back to the truth. Please spread the agniveer message to all your contacts

    • Dear Nikhil,
      You are very right in analyzing “muslims”.” Muslims” cannot be good humanist because they are blind followers of their doctrines which teaches them intolerance and hatred towards other. Congrats for exposing such ideologies. You have truly describe Maulana Wahiduddin as a face saver of “Islam”. Anything wrong should be condemn boldly even if it is against ones own believes or should accept follies and try to rectify. But “Islam” does not allow its followers to amend or change its ways because its tantamount to blasphemy which has a capital punishment. So called maulanas and research scholars are hijacking and sabotaging the minds of common muslims and not letting them to think independently due to fear of death penalty verdict passed against them. I am thankful to Agniveer for letting people like us to express ourselves. Thank You !

  3. @Everybody
    Attention: Please look at the peak of Naik’s stupidity
    Dear Agniveer Admin and all my brothers and sisters,
    Naik claims suppose a kafir robs a bank, rapes women, and no matter how much big of a crime he does, as soon as he accepts islam, ALL HIS SINS ARE FORGIVENNNNNNN
    please have a look in this video and have a good laugh at Zakir Naik!
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOw5x3CX8E0

    • Namaste Brother Vik
      Thanks for sharing with us yet another reason that why should this terrorist Zakir be banned in all civilized nations. His request to all rapists, killers, looters and terrorists is same as that of Muhammad’s efforts to bring uncivilized Arabs into Islamic fold at any cost. Now i know that why most of Zakir’s applauders are so fanatic and abusive in nature.
      And look, Allah forgives a rapist if he becomes Muslim! Allah can forgive any sin except Shirk. That is why rapists find such an easy escape in Islamic Sharia. ALL WOMEN SHOULD TAKE SERIOUS NOTICE TO ZAKIR’S WORDS THAT EVEN A RAPIST WOULD BE FORGIVEN. It contradicts with the so called women rights given in Quran that a rapist should be stoned to death as claimed by many fools who try to lure women by imaginary verses of equality for women. Every sane person should have understood by now that why most brutal killers, rapists, and robbers of past and even present belong to Islam, because their sins were “small” as compared to Shirk or idol worship. That is why Zakir will never condemn Osama and Azmal Kasab because they are MUSLIMS and they dont worship idols and thus dont do any “major” sin!
      Sickular Hindus and peaceful Muslims should open their eyes and condemn this terrorist in harshest words.

      • @Vajra
        Namaste,
        Now, lets show all the zakir following fanatics this video and see what their response is. This utterly hillarious and the funny thing is he actually considers raping women a joke. This Naik man is sicker than I thought. Let us hope the end of his fanatic propaganda is near. We all have to work together to eliminate this type of fanaticism from this world. Before he used to justify killing apostates, and now he even allows every hideous sin such as rapes which will be forgiven after reciting the kalima! How stupid can a person get?

      • SICKULAR hindus? or are you tryin to say secular hindus. and there is absolutely nothing funny about this video. You, sir, have a lame sense of humor i guess

      • Namaste Blustery Ji
        Rather you are searching humor at wrong place! I dont think I have made fun of anyone above
        will try to improve my sense of humor anyway!!!
        Thanks

      • @blustery, tere maa ki, tere baap ka kya jaata ki mai shirk karta hoon? Why do you distribute and ask people to convert? If your false religion is so good, take it and shove it up yours

    • REALLY LAUGHABLE. What is this man saying, my God!!!! SHOCKING. So ILLOGICAL!! I think that this boy was a stooge, a planted person to impress. Gullible people. I feel pity about the Sardarji, The Sikh Gurus sacrificed their lives BUT did NOT accept Islam, Banda Singh bahadur had his Child slaughtered in front of him & later his own limbs being severed BUT Never accepted Islam, and this man is giving a silly excuse of “Kheer” not being tasty!!!
      This man Zakir Naik also accepts that he also committed some crimes– including the Grave crimes!!! Note this. Very Virulent and dangerous man. I wish we had somebody of the stature of Vivekananda or Swami Dayanand or Guru Gobind Singh ji to CHECK the onslaught of this intellectual terrorist. He is mis-guiding Muslims and people of other faiths alike.

      • Brother Pratap
        I think you have recently started taking notice of this terrorist and that is why you are shocked to see his lecture! However someone following him for even few months knows that he is accustomed of giving such crap during his lectures. This dumber is as illogical in the video as he used to be in past, nothing new about it. He has mastery in doing stage performances in front of semi literates who clap in his English lectures without knowing English!

      • @Pratap
        Namaste brother,
        brother, if we all unite together in succeeding Mission Agniveer, we will eventually follow the footsteps of great legends like Swami Dayanand and Guru Gobind Singh and hence eliminate Zakir Naik’s stupidity from the face of the earth.

      • Yes Brothers Vajra and Vik: We have to stand United. We have to defend ourselves, our Matra-bhoomi. Swami Vivekanand also wanted us to AT LEAST defend “What is right”. I am pouring in all my knowledge that I gained after reading various scriptures from Guru Granth Sahib, Bhagvad Gita etc. I have a thorough science back-ground, so Fanatics CANNOT fool me.
        But it pains me when these fanatics would not listen to any logic, buddy -even- the crude basics. These fellows use all Modern Science instruments- Laptops et al, but would not accept any science supporting Hinduism!!!
        Another set of people that shock me are our DESI-SECULARS. These Convent educated brain-washed people are the hardest to convince the logic of vedic life.
        It is because of the Support of my fellow “Rational” citizens like you all that I find solace from the utter lies of fanatics. THANK YOU MISSION AGNIVEER and members like Vik.
        If our Soldiers are guarding the Fences on Borders to ensure our “peaceful” sleep, then Missions like Agni-veer are awakening the whole humanity from their “intellectual” slumber and introducing the Glorious civilization that was– INDIA. Great Work. You Guys are true disciples of Swami Vivekananda.
        Just to Quote what Swamiji had said–” Brave, bold men and women, these are what we want. What we want is vigor in blood, strength in the Nerves, iron muscles and NERVES OF STEEL.”

      • @Pratap
        Namaste brother,
        yes of course, brother, we must all unite and stay united against this fanaticism. It is sad that people clapped on this disgusting speech made by Naik. Either the audience is also fanatic like Naik which means we should condemn them as well for supporting such stupidity or as brother Vajra said, the audience do not understand english. I hope this is the case. Because no sane person would clap on such disgusting remarks. I really think other countries should follow the footsteps of UK and Canada in banning Naik, especially India since he is an insult to Indians.

      • Brother I would rather call this as the subtle “psychological” effect. What this fellow “fanatic” Zakir does is that he works at the “sub-conscious” level creating an ILLUSION, a feel good effect on his audience. Human are inherently “troubled” for some reason or the other, we are NOT satisfied with our lives AND it is here that our brain starts working sub-consciously– Brain starts searching for SOOTHING “alternatives”. It could be a music, some old family photographs, or just shear nostalgia of “good” times times of our lives that can trigger the phenomenons like crying, sudden burst of confidence or peace et al due to release of “Feel good” Hormones like Endorphins. Actually our MIND is looking for something to “surrender” to.
        It is here that fools like Zakir Naik thrive. He provides people with FEEL GOOD factor by telling them that they are all destined for heavens!! He gives them false dreams of hope. In psychology we call it HOPE therapy. In olden times (as said by Chanakya in Arthshastra) when soldiers used to go in for war, it was the duty of priests to PREDICT a bright future for them i.e. to exhort them that they need not worry about anything else as the VICTORY IS ASSURED, so that they give in their BEST. Like wise the musicians accompanying the soldiers also used to praise their valor.
        Have you seen Christian missionary propaganda on TV, Example– Ladies crying on being “so-called” healed by the preacher, or people dancing in the name of God?? I have seen all that, it is for real, it happens — All Psychological Funda, Nothing spiritual. (Please differentiate it with true “spiritual” bliss state, which we call “Yoga” or integration with God: One imp difference is that -unlike- “spiritual” bliss, “psychological” hallucination is only TEMPORARY)
        People like Zakir Naik, Christian missionaries Know this well. Only requirement is that the HEALER should be “strong” willed and assertive. Hence people have to understand that they are being fooled by the likes of Zakir.

      • No wonder many converts to islam were previously criminals/sinners after all Naik promises forgiveness of sins and virgins of paradise.

      • Jai shri ram
        It is Pointless arguing with these idiots and giving RATIONAL arguements.
        My strategy is totally opposite. Assuming(for the sake of arguement) that islam is true and hinduism is false, I prefer to go with false religion, what is YOUR problem?
        Drinking liquor is bad, but my hindu religion allows it. Our gods used to drink somras. Who is any muslims to say it is bad?
        You support palestine, I support israel.
        YOu find faults in hinduism, I find faults in islam.
        Yu fight jihad, try me, I fight a dharmayuddha.
        You want an islamic country (islami jamhouriyat) I want a hindu rashtra.
        Basically islam is such a small pond, and hinduism is such a big ocean, whicever concept they come up with, we can come with equivalent concept.
        Fight them in THEIR language. Never give logic and reasoning.
        Oh, allah is going to send me to hellfire? My lord shiva is going to send all muslims into hellfire. lets see who is sttronger.
        HAR HAR MAHADEV

      • @SDC
        Namaste Brother,
        I meant lets keep this hard work up. So far Zakir’s propaganda is decreasing after the ciculation of almost all articles of this site. Now, if we keep up the efforts, Zakir’s propaganda will soon shatter.

    • Beyond imagination…on a brighter note, I think it is precisely folks like Zakir Naik who may actually be turning educated Muslims away from Islam.
      PS: On a side note, Zakir Naik is something like our Congresswallahs in New Delhi who allow Arundathi Roy to mouth off anti-India garbage and get away with it but yet cannot bring themselves to allow hoisting Bharatmata’s flag in J&K. My guess is more and more people will turn away from Congress on applying their mind, just like how Muslims will turn away from Islam on applying their mind.

      • You are very right. Traitors like Arundhati have all the freedom to abuse India in it’s own Capital! BUT if a Hindu is to assert for his infringed rights, he is termed a “Communal” Bigot!! Condemned people like Binayak Sen (sentenced to Life imprisonment for sedition) feel no regret or shame in getting all the naked support for himself by having intellectuals “openly” castigating the Courts and also insulting Indian justice by calling in the EUROPEAN Human rights members to oversee the court proceedings!!!
        Just imagine the kind of “filthy” language these supporters of Binayak have used against the court. They have launched their own website to save Binayak. The English Media has made a HUGE hue and cry about “injustice” to “criminal” Binayak!! So when it comes to them, these pervert intellectuals garner all sort of support and resort to worst form of filth.
        But NO tears are shed by these people when Kashmiri Pandits are thrown out of their house and forced to live in exile. The same set of people try to “Justify” it as being related to a “disputed” area!! Shameful Double Standards…
        I go to the extent of saying that Hindus and Muslims would have “understood” and lived in peace, BUT for these fools like Zakir naik, Arundhati and our own “mis-leading” Marxist historians who have severely “distorted” our history and our outlook. They are doing the job of Britishers. Congress and secular media has only added fuel to this fire.

      • @pratap,
        Arundhati roy has freedom of speech. I too have freedom of speech, to abuse her, and ofcourse syed ali shah geelani. It works both ways

      • Yes my friend you too should have a right to speak, BUT we have to see that there are 2 sets of RULES in India: One for Commoners like you and me; and other for the High-Profiles!!
        If these high-profile “secularists” like Arundhati and Geelani Speak, it is JUST a case of their intellectual arrogance that can (rather- ‘should’) be condoned; BUT if you speak, even in comparatively “milder” tones, you risk being branded a Communal hate-spreader, APART from being troubled by our “Colonial” LEGAL System. So PLEASE BE CAREFUL, and understand that we live in a Banana republic which has two sets of rules.
        Our only recourse is to live in the system to CHANGE the system. So channelize your anger in tune with the space WE, the commoners, are provided. Prefer the strategy of — SOFT WORDS BUT “HARD” ARGUMENTS.

      • @pratap,
        You are absolutely rightttt. My grievance exactly. One law for high profiles, and one law for commoners like you and me.
        Well, being branded communal hate spreader is not my problem, but getting in legal trouble is. Being charged or dropping charges is in the hands of police.
        My recourse is veryyyy simple. Just use THEIR lines.
        Why have “self-determination” only in kashmir, why not rest of India? I too want “self-determination” and “azaadi”. (to do to muslim minority in rest of India, EXACTLY what happened to hindu minority in kashmir) My concept of “azadi” is same like roy and geelani.
        Wait till I retire, (if I was rich I would retire today). Then I will also become high-profile and basically reverse logic.
        eg:- shankar hu akbar.
        oops, sorry, it is
        HAR HAR MAHADEV.

    • zakir knows what islam is, since it’s birth(620). it is the only religion, which basically a club of gangsters, murderers, robber, rapists, child sex molester(mohmmad did sex with hazrat aysha when she was 6 year’s cute baby, in the name of allah). so zakir knows how to convince other robbers, rapist etc. to join islam. what he is doing is not new, mohmmad also did same, when he alive.
      if you are human and believe that GOD(allah) made humans, not muslims, christians, hindus etc. do not follow any club-religion, but follow only SANATAN DHARM (only true religion), it never say abt club members, like islam talk about muslims, christianity talk about christians and both want conversion. but SANATAN DHARM talk about humans, hence, there is no concept of conversion. have you ever hear a human convert into human? no. SANATAN DHARM’s teachings make a human, a civilize human, which every society need. be human and follow God’s true path- SANATAN DHARM.

  4. @Solomon:
    Hinduism like all other non-Christian religions accept various ideas of “God” and cannot define a true saving relationship with the God of heaven and creator of us all.
    Nobody needs to save anyone else from anything. So, get over your obsession with some “Son” of God and his dying to save us from sins and all such crap.
    In any case, Christianity and Islam are two sides of the same bigoted coin. Both preach/believe in eternal hell for non-believers of the self-proclaimed exclusivity of their respective prophets.
    Save your proselytizing for the uneducated.
    You seem to have copied pasted from some evangelcal/jihadi website. Save some bandwidth and just provide a link next time.

  5. Bangladeshi Hindus in shock as worship at temple suspended, property rights disputed, Hindu population declined, persecution goes on……..
    Upananda Brahamachari || Hindu Existence Review : Though a big doldrums already came from the minority Hindus from the measures so far taken by the present so-called pro-minority Bangladesh Awami League Govt. led by Sheikh Hasina through a shattered election promises to them, accumulated pressure from various sides upon the Hindu minorities now may return them in the fearful days under the BNP-Jamat combination for the last clot.
    No retrieval for the safety and security for the persecuted Hindus in Bangaldesh as a landmark so far made by this so called secular Govt of Awami combination, nor the change in a theocratic constitution (Islamic Republic of Bangladesh) for a real Secular Democracy without the “Almighty Allah”, or the proper settlement of property for the evacuated Bangladeshi Hindus including their re-settlements, the increasing rate of loosing lands by the minorities under the loot by Muslim fundamentalists in every corner of Bangladesh or nothing remarkable can tell us the good days for Bangladeshi Hindus with a dignified social, economical and political status in future.
    A CID officer carries out a thorough search at Dhakeshwari National Temple in the capital on Sunday to collect evidence following a daring robbery of about 200 tolas of gold ornaments at the temple
    On the other hand, the jaunty Islamists of Bangladesh are now in full swing to invade the Hindu temples including looting stealthily the national temple of Bangladesh like Dhakeswari Temple which has a heritage status.
    Reports revel that :
    “Hindus in Bangladesh are in shock following the suspension of worship at the capital’s Dhakeshwari National Temple, the most important place of worship for the minority community in the country, after a theft on Sun Jan 09 2011.
    Gold (About 200 bhori – 1 Bhori = 0.34 ounce) ornaments, and silver ornaments (five-six bhori) and Taka 4.5 lakh have been stolen from the temple, said Tapan Bhattacharya, the in-charge of the state-owned Dhakeshwari Temple.
    Worship at the ancient Dhakeswari National Temple has been suspended for an indefinite period following the theft, the private bdnews24 online reported today.
    Known as the ‘National Temple’, Dhakeshwari means “Goddess of Dhaka”.
    Babul Devnath, the Secretary of Dhaka Metropolitan Worship Committee, expressed deep concern over the incident as it was the third major temple where theft has taken place in less than a month. The Hindus in the country are in shock.
    “A theft took place at Baradeswari Kali Temple on December 12 and another at Jaykali Temple on December 22. We demand proper investigations into all these incidents,” he was quoted as saying in the report.
    Bhattacharya said Ratan Chakrawarty and Nitya Gopal Chakrawarty, the priets at Dhakeswari, had locked the temple around 9 p.m. on Saturday.
    Around 6 a.m. today they found three of the four locks missing, while the remaining one was broken.
    Mohammad Khurshid Alam, the Deputy commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police, said they had launched a probe into the theft.
    Hinduism is the second largest religion in the country, constituting nearly 10 per cent of the population.
    There are over 12 lakh Hindus in Bangladesh.”
    Though some minority forums like HRCBM (Human Rights Congress for Bangladesh Minorities), BDMW (Bangladesh Minority Watch), BHBCUC (Bangladesh Hindu Bauddha Christian Unity Council-USA) and others are trying hard to address the constraints before Hindus as an existential threat and put their demands to the respective Govts, in Bangladesh time to time, the general scenario for the trailing Hindus go worse day by day.
    A recent report of the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) and National Institute of Population Research and Training (NIPRT) reveals that Hindu population has been decreased in Bangladesh region by 24% as it was 31% in 1901 and stands at a meager 9.3% in the latest census of Bangladesh. The report pointed the salient causes of onslaught of minority Hindus due to post election violence in 2001 in recent caused a mass evacuation of Hindus from their homeland and compelled to leave the country under the tantamount pressure of ransom, infringing religious rights, destruction of their properties, encroaching lands, physical torture, arson, molestation, rape, abduction, even pressurised conversion and so on. In such strangulation the reproduction rates of Hindus in Bangladesh came down and the immigration rates are high.
    From another source it is evident that some 100 destruction of temples and over 300 registered cases of abduction-molestation-rape of Hindu women and minor girls earmarked 2010 as hopeless situation also from the new vendors of secularism in Bangladesh.
    This kind of shameless burglary in a highest Hindu Temple declared as ”Sree Sree Dhakeswari Jatiyo Mandir” (National Temple) amidst a high security police arrangements created much confusion in all quarters including a bitter repercussion throughout Bangladeshi Hindus and also in neighboring India.
    Senior reporter Mr. Basudev Dhar of Danik Statesman, Kolkata reports in its first page from Dhaka that the burglary was so designed only to harass the minorities in Bangladesh. The Temple authority has already covered the front of deity with a white cloth and suspended the formal puja for an indefinite period as a protest. Meantime the daily puja shall be made through the rituals before a ‘holy pitcher’. The Hindu minority leaders of Bangladesh including the Co-ordination Committee of Bangladesh Sarbajonin Durgotsav jointly declared a ‘human-chain’ programme on Wednesday on in every where in Bangladesh as a mark of protest. Hindu leaders of Bangladesh have vehemently criticized the inaction of the present Govt. to take proper action to protect the property, prosperity and dignity of Hindu minorities in Bangladesh. They pointed out the every onslaught upon the Hindus in Bangladesh aiming to drive them away by hook or crook.
    The Deputy Home Minister of Bangladesh Samsul Haque Tuku (Awami League) visited the Dhakeswari temple today on 10th January, 2010 and assured the prompt arrest of the culprit behind the burglary. The local BNP leader Mirza Fakhrul Islam also visited the temple and expressed his utter dissatisfaction about the present Govt. so that the burglars be-fooled the state police contingencies then on duty at the temple premises.
    Minority Hindus in Bangladesh suspect a nefarious connection between the state police, intelligence and the culprits as they all belong to majority Muslim community. So far the Police and Intelligence in Bangladesh is completely failure to trace out the burglary cases in Bradeswari Kali Temple (Rajar Bag), Jay kali Temple (Wari) and four other old temples in Narayngunj.
    The pity minority Hindus in Bangladesh have to tolerate all these Islamic persecution.

    • hell, I did visit and did pooja at this sree sree dhakeshwari temple. It actually breaks my heart to see it in such a neglected condition. I didnt know there was gold and silver ornaments there. This has been done to us since ages. The muslims not only desecrate our temples to shatter our faith, and hence convert us to powerful faith, but the second reason is to collect the huge wealth in temples as loot. Same thing happened for sorti somnath. In today’s time, these fanatics would first target the tirumala tirupati devasthanam because it is the wealthiest shrine in the world.
      2 birds with one stone.
      shatter your faith, (and win converts
      and loot the wealth.

  6. Bangladesh & Pakistan: Where Minorities Fear to Walk
    In today’s Bangladesh and Pakistan, you have constant persecution of non-Muslim minorities, while minority Muslim communities are also being killed in the name of radical Sunni Islam in Pakistan. Therefore, Ahmadiyya Muslims, Buddhists, Christians, Hindus, Shia Muslims, Sikhs, and others face daily persecution and hatred in Bangladesh and Pakistan.
    On August 11th this year it will be “Minority Day” in Pakistan, however, Dr. Nazir S. Bhatti of the Pakistan Christian Congress announced that they will be observing ‘Black Day” because of the constant persecution of minorities in Pakistan.
    Dr. Nazir S. Bhatti states “How we can celebrate Minority Day in Pakistan when our innocent brothers are being killed by Islamic militants and our women are being gang raped and enforcedly converted to Islam.”
    It is clear that the partition of India led to chaos and hundreds of thousands of people were murdered. After this chaos divisions would emerge between East Pakistan and West Pakistan and further bloodshed would occur, with the outcome being the sovereign nations of Bangladesh and Pakistan. However, while India remains to be multi-religious, the opposite is happening in Bangladesh and Pakistan because religious minorities are facing the brute reality of radical Sunni Islam.
    To make matters worse both Bangladesh and Pakistan would witness the gradual Islamization of their societies, notably Pakistan, and massive corruption and persecution of women would continue. The Islamization of both nations was especially traumatic for Hindus and Sikhs in Pakistan and for Hindus and Buddhists in Bangladesh. Not surprisingly, this Islamic persecution of minorities in both nations re-awakened anti-Islamic feelings in India.
    Christians in Pakistan also began to feel the brunt of radical Sunni Islam and the same applies to Ahmadiyya Muslims who suffer greatly. At the same time you also have growing divisions within Sunni Islam and the usual Sunni-Shia divide led to many massacres and terrorist attacks.
    However, unlike the destruction of Buddhism and Hinduism in Afghanistan which happened centuries earlier because of Islamic conquests, forced conversions to Islam, systematic persecution, and controlling all leverages of power; the Islamization of Bangladesh and Pakistan took place in the twentieth century and continues today.
    Yet why are the religions of Buddhism and Hinduism being allowed to be destroyed in both nations? After all, Buddhists in Bangladesh were a small minority and they could never threaten Islam; the same applies to Hindus in Pakistan. Despite this, the international community remains very silent.
    Therefore, why did other nations remain quiet when massive religious persecution was taking place? After all, nations like France, the United Kingdom and America were espousing ‘democracy’ and liberals were glorifying multi-faith societies and stating that Islam was a religion of peace. At the same time major institutions like the Commonwealth, which espoused global human rights, remained quiet despite religious persecution and pogroms in Bangladesh and Pakistan.
    In Pakistan the destruction of Hinduism and persecution of Hindus took many forms. The first path was the massacre of Hindus during partition and forcing Hindus to leave via coercion. However, over the last 50 years the destruction of Hinduism in modern day Pakistan was based on past Islamic global conquests and the teachings of the Prophet Mohammed who sanctioned the persecution of non-Muslims. For the Prophet Mohammed had told his followers to ‘Fight those who believe not in God nor the last day . . . Nor acknowledge the religion of truth (Islam) . . .’ Therefore, the followers of Hinduism were to be subdued in accordance with the teachings of Islamic Sharia Law, the Koran and the Hadiths.
    Given this, Hindus were now a subdued minority, like Christians in Pakistan, and they were unequal in law and status in accordance with the teachings of Islam. At the same time Hindu temples were often converted into Muslim mosques or destroyed, and ancient Hindu architecture was left to collapse and fade away. The choice for many Hindus was either to convert to Islam in order to escape persecution, flee to India or to accept that they were second-class citizens in Pakistan. Not surprisingly, the Hindu population in Pakistan continued to decline and this civilization was being eradicated by Islam.
    The situation for Buddhists in Bangladesh was different, for Buddhism had survived countless Islamic conquests in one region because of terrain and other factors; therefore, Buddhists and other faiths had survived in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. However, the increasing population of Bangladesh led to many problems and the government of Bangladesh hoped ‘to kill two birds with one stone.’ This applies to moving millions of Muslim people to remote parts of Bangladesh, notably the Chittagong Hill Tracts, while at the same time this new Muslim migration would crush the mainly Buddhist tribal opposition in this region.
    Therefore, millions of Muslim migrants were moved into the Chittagong Hill Tracts and the mainly Buddhist tribals (some are Christian, Hindu or follow traditional beliefs) became embroiled in a civil war. Islamic radicals also moved into this region and many Buddhist priests were killed, including some being beheaded. At the same time hundreds of Buddhist temples were destroyed and the Bangladesh army took part in many massacres, and some Buddhist women were gang-raped by both Islamic zealots and the Bangladesh army.
    In time the mainly Buddhist tribals were overwhelmed by the armed forces of Bangladesh and Muslim migration because this was a clear dual policy based on Islamization and control. Their situation, however, went unnoticed in the West and Islamic nations obviously remained silent. To make matters worse, the mainly Buddhist tribes had no nation supporting them and no major world leader to draw attention to their plight. Given this, the government of Bangladesh continues with this policy and Buddhists and other minorities face the ongoing Islamization of the Chittagong Hill Tracts.
    Therefore, the destruction of thousands of years of Hindu/Buddhist civilization in these nations is being destroyed and the world remains largely silent. It is clear that mainly Buddhist nations like Japan (and Shinto), Cambodia, Thailand, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, and others, should form an organization to help their co-religionists; with Japan being the main financial power to raise awareness of Buddhist persecution. However, sadly this is not happening and India clearly did not do enough in order to protect or raise the issue of Hindu persecution in both Bangladesh and Pakistan.
    If global silence continues then Buddhism will one day be eradicated in Bangladesh. However, the global community did condemn the Taliban in Afghanistan for destroying Buddhist statues and art, yet the same global community remains quiet when Buddhist tribes are being systematically persecuted. Does this mean that Buddhist art in Afghanistan is more important than the persecution of Buddhist communities and the gang rape of Buddhist women in Bangladesh?
    Surely the Hindus of Pakistan and Buddhists in the Chittagong Hill Tracts deserve better? If the international community remains silent about this crime, then soon these lands will be Islamized and religiously ‘cleansed.’
    The ongoing silence is an international disgrace and because of this Islamists are now killing Ahmadiyya Muslims and Christians in Pakistan. After all, the world remained silent when Hindus and Sikhs faced massive persecution in Pakistan and the same applies to the constant destruction of Buddhist tribal villages in Bangladesh. Therefore, the persecution of all minorities is getting worse in modern day Pakistan.
    The most vulnerable and ‘voiceless’ in Bangladesh and Pakistan have been abandoned by the international community. Why?

  7. Terrorists Attack ISKCON Temple in Chittagong, Bangladesh
    On May 18, ISKCON News Weekly received a distraught message from an obviously emotional monk at ISKCON’s Nandankanan Sri Sri Gour Nitai Ashram in Chittagong, the main seaport of Bangladesh.
    On May 14 at 3pm, the devotee said, he and his peers were busy preparing for a weekend festival when fifty to sixty terrorists burst into the temple, brandishing knives and iron bars. They first destroyed the kitchens, devotee accommodation, and Gaura Nitai deities. Then, as the devotees ran into the temple courtyard in a panic, the attackers poured boiling water on them from the balcony, badly burning many.
    The terrorists also stole ten to twelve thousand taka (Bangladesh’s monetary unit) from the temple donation box, as well as a further ten thousand from individual residents. Devotees phoned the nearby police station again and again, but to no avail.
    “Their negligence of duty came at a terrible cost,” Chinmoydham Dasa said in his message to ISKCON News. “Many devotees were injured and had to be brought to the hospital’s emergency room.”
    By the time the police finally arrived, the terrorists had caused 80,000 taka worth of damage. Neither did they seem remotely intimidated by the presence of law enforcement. And it was soon clear why. When the terrorists threatened the devotees, “You must all leave now and hand the temple over to us!” the police remained silent, not voicing any defense.
    “For this crime of the police, thousands of devotees took to the streets to protest,” Chinmoydham said. He explains that after this, the police eventually took out a case against the attackers.
    Chinmoydham’s report was in broken English, and it is unsure what group the terrorists belonged to, or what exactly happened when the police arrived, although it appears that the temple remains unsafe for the devotees. More detailed news on the attack and current situation will be reported as it comes in.

    • @totagoto
      Imagine this is happening in the regime of Sheikh Hasina Wajib, who is considered to be a “MODERATE” amongst the hardliners!! I have also read about Taslima Nasreen, the Bangladeshi writer who tried to highlight the problems faced by Hindu minorities in her country.
      Did you know that Taslima Nasreen would have been handed over to fanatics of Bangladesh by the Indian govt under pressure, had it not been for a strong lobby of intellectuals supporting her cause!! (Let’s give the devil -intellectuals- their due, they did a RARE fine job in standing by the beleaguered author who dared to expose fanatics).

      • Friends, a very sad incident has happened. Uncle of Young Martyr Maj Unnikrishnan has committed suicide by dousing himself with kerosene in FRONT OF PARLIAMENT. He was “Protesting” against the INJUSTICE of Union Government in harassing the families of 26/11 martyrs and the victims of that attack.
        Really shocking. His condition is quite serious. This is what is the condition of a martyr’s family, those who gave their lives for the nation! Imagine what could be the state of commoners, when Netas are busy in their corruption and vote-bank politics.
        The worst part of the incident was that the police was watching the incident and reportedly did not intervene!!!

    • @Salkia
      A nice little video. It is good that people like you are making a honest effort to bring out the fault-lines in Islam. BUT I think all our efforts are in VAIN. I used to be very optimistic that I will be able to make these fellows see the truth; BUT sorry to say: EVEN IF THE GOD COMES ON THIS EARTH and SOLEMNLY TESTIFIES ON A “STAMP” PAPER -WITH 10 WITNESS- These fellows would NOT understand rather call him a Kafir!!
      So disgusting, even proven Scientific facts CANNOT convince them!!!! The “silver lining” is that few individuals among them are rising above the board and trying to figure out the problem. May these RARE individuals succeed. BUT here also -PERVERTS- like Zakir naik (a dirty pest) has played havoc by concocting fantasy evidences out of nothing.

  8. Dosre dharm ke virudh kyun photo/comment karte ho jab ke hum sab jante hain ye sab muslim ko pasand nahi hai. Ungli karoge to answer milega hi 🙂

    • @Ashish:
      Well…how about this as the reason: Muslims want to either kill you or convert you. How do you suggest we should respond?
      Plus, we arent the only folks disgusted with militant Islam. Pretty much anyone non-Muslim hates Islam – so trashing Islam doesnt seem to be only a Hindu practice.
      The ones who are ok with Islam are those who are clueless about its danger. Which side are YOU on?
