Malaysia demolishes century-old Hindu temple

Jahiliyya Update from AFP, with thanks to Satinder:

Malaysian authorities have demolished a century-old Hindu temple in Kuala Lumpur, bulldozing the building as devotees cried and begged them to stop, Hindu groups said today.

The Malaimel Sri Selva Kaliamman Temple was reduced to rubble after Kuala Lumpur's city hall sent in bulldozers, they said.

In a complaint to police the temple's vice president, Subramaniam Ragappan, said about 300 devotees were praying Tuesday when the machines arrived, accompanied by police and city hall officials.

"We were forced to stop our prayers and (rituals) halfway as they proceeded to tear down the temple," he said in a copy of the complaint obtained by AFP.

I find it appalling that we in the west allow muslims to build their vile houses of worship and depravity, allowing them to spread their ideology of hatred, and all they know to do when they gain strength in numbers is to lie, destroy other people’s places of worship, kill, torture and rape!

So when will the MSM pick up on this, I’m waiting…………..and waiting………. Oh yes, that’s right, nothing to see here, just move along………

MSM will report ONLY when anyone goes near the mosques which already have been built over the temples, churches, shrines of all the peaceful religions of the world.
Muslims will soon come up with with "proof" linking this site with some invented event from the life of mo.
We definitely won't see them condemning the acts of their brothers, that's for sure.

This is disgusting. Those temples are beautiful works of art. Those poor people. I don't understand how they stood by though. I'm sure they are pacifists, but still.

I will never understand how Naseem and others think islam is a beautiful "religion" when they don't see beauty in art, treasures, history, women, music or anything else they tear down.

This has to show the world that, destroying the temple and buddha's and all else ,that islam HAS to be stopped.

Since they can't do it anymore in India, by all means, do it in Malaysia, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Indonesia. We salute your courage.

If India really had a Hindutva regime (as opposed to the Vajpayeesque pretenders it had until 3 years ago), it would deserve to be a superpower that threatens Islam all around the Indian Ocean, and retaliate against all these countries for all slights on Hinduism.

Real AND Imagined.

Years ago in Istanbul I stood in the awe inspiring shell of Hagia Sophia church the inside hung with enormous hideously black cloth banners with enormous arabic lettering "There is no God but Allah!" etc.

I understood how Islam 'respects' other religions. Steal and distort their teachings, expunge the spiritually heroic element of 'selfless love' and true sacrifice and then desecrate what's left with Stalinist looking banners.

No IP, ,Muslims are waay too organised for us. I remember when Ayodya mosque was pulled down, over 1000 Hindu temples we desecrated world over with violence against Hindus spreading to 27 countries. Here in UK 19 Hindu temples were firebombed in 1992-93 during the Ayodhya/Bombay riots. Gandhi aptly sums it

"It is always the Muslim who is bully and Hindu the coward"

An exhibit should be mounted, with its permanent home in Washington, D.C. And the theme of that exhibit should be the Muslim vandalizing, desecrating, destruction of Hindu temples, in India, and present-day Pakistan and Bangladesh and all over the East Indies and Buddhist temples, and churches, Orthodox churches in Kosovo and Greece, Catholic churches, Coptic churches, monasteries, even the original Church of the Holy Sepulchre (destroyed on orders of the Fatimid Caliph Al-Hakim in 1009), and Buddhist stupas, and wall-paintings, and statuary of every kind, including those Bamiyan Buddhas which required 100,000 pounds of explosives (and the help of Saudi and Pakistani technical advisers) for the Taliban to finally blow up after 1,500 years of standing guard, and the hundreds of churches that disappeared when the Muslims took Constaninople, or those that did not entirely disappear, but were turned into mosques, and every Christian painting or statue vandalized, as in the Hagia Sophia. And then there are the synagogues, and the remnants of ancient synagogues -- every single one of the dozens in the Old City of Jerusalem being destroyed between 1948 and 1967, and the centuries-old tombstones in the Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives pulled up and used to line the floors of Jordanian army latrines; and then the attacks on, and reducting to rubble, of Joseph's Tomb, and Rebecca's Tomb -- of anything and eveything Muslim Arabs ("Palestinians") have managed to get their hands on. And even now,the destruction going on in that place known as the Stables of Solomon, that has so alarmed archaeologists. But why should it be otherwise? For Muslims, there is Islam and only Islam. Things of signficance to non-Muslims are, for that very reason, things to be despised or, where they may be symbols of power, simply appropriated -- the way the Temple Mount was appropriated by fixing that Night Journey's "furthest mosque" on top of the Temple Mount, or by building a mosque deliberately on top of the ruins of the Hindu temple at Ayodha.

Let one hundred of the most important examples of Muslim destruction or appropriation be the subject of a photograph, or a scale model, with approrpiate commentary on the site and on its fate under Islam.

And then let that exhibit, before finally being open to those who visit Washington, or make decisions there, tour the major capitals of the Infidel world. Make sure it is well-guarded, and well-attended. And put the whole exhibit, for all those who will not be able to attend, on the Internet.

What Was Lost.

A title like that.

Islamic depravity reigns and yet we dance around the truth like ballerinas.

It's going to have to be war or this will never end. A final war, a world war. Get the stomach for it now or it's going to be far worse for our children and grandchildren.

You know I'm right.

And Hugh, I might just tackle that idea of yours.

Posted by: Foehammer [TypeKey Profile Page] at April 21, 2006 4:53 PM

Vikrant,

I know, but I was imagining a Hindutva regime that would take on a war on all Muslim countries that dared act this way. After all, it's well known that Muslims respect nothing other than sheer force, which is why they wouldn't dare do that to China, for instance.

As for Gandhi, he was one to speak, if your attribution is correct.

Hugh,

I like your idea. Start it online, and then have physical exhibits worldwide. Only thing - to prevent vandalism, change the theme name from "What was lost" to "Triumphs of Islam".

You might have groups like CAIR protest against Islamophobia, but since in the eyes of Muslims, such an exhibit glorifies Islam, their thugs are unlikely to attack it. In the meantime, you'll get Infidel blood on the boil, and the result will be a lot less deference to Mohammedan sentiments (and shrines).

Viola!

It sickens me that "grown men" can behave that way. "Think like us, or we'll make you think like us."

Posted by: mustang65 [TypeKey Profile Page] at April 21, 2006 5:10 PM

Mustang,
Please don't refer to them as "men." That gives the rest of the male gender a bad name.

The other point about my variation on Hugh's proposal was that we could get it funded by Oil money.

That much less cash into the Jihad, since they'd perceive it's already going into the Jihad.

Posted by: Infidel Pride [TypeKey Profile Page] at April 21, 2006 5:29 PM

Start it online,

IP, I may setup a Wikipedia like MediaWiki server on which knowldegeable people like you could add information and commentaries about Islamic iconoclasm. It could be hosted on mycomputer which is online 24 hrs...

But we do have to admit, the islamists are somewhat successful. They are spreading at a constant rate, do in somehow disconnected seeming incidents destroy cultural heritage of
whichever culture is at the moment sitting in their field of expansion, and operate quite cleverly, too.
Let´s look at the example of Germany. Germany is burdened with the jewish stigma. So the general post-war education lead to a multi-cultural leaning society open for guest workers, meaning: "Its really not cool to speak negatively about any ethnic or religious minorities (remember the jews)"
The islamists take advantage of this situation:
In 1973 there were 3 (three) mosques in Western Germany (I assume there were none in socialist Eastern Germany). Now in 2006 (33 years later) there are well over 2400 (twothousandfourhundred)!! mosques in the re-united Germany.
These numbers look like the outcome of the holy war is already been decided. ..and it happened silently.
Nobody seems to notice yet, it all happens in the suburbs and small towns and of course, not to forget the jewish stigma, so who wants a muslim stigma??
The islamic infiltration is done via family groups settling in a rather tight network across rural country with close connection to comparedly nearby large cities.(This is Europe) There whole non-assimilated islamic suburbs exist, tightly connected to similar suburbs in the large cities of the neighbouring countries.
In rural Germany several dozen cases have been reported where islamic groups have bought medieval churches and operate them now as mosques.
German people had by now generally enough of this situation, but do hold back from speaking out due to the countries tough anti-discrimination laws. (remember the jews)
With statistics about the present birthrates of ethnic germans and islamic immigrants compared, it looks that by the year 2050 (in 44 years) there will be 70 million citizens bred by parents of islamic immigrant heritage, but only slightly over 40 million Germans. ..and the what about the French, or the Dutch?
Who needs a bloody holy war, if you can do it with our own proud weapon?: democracy!
So, ladies and gentlemen, they simply gonna vote us into dhimmitude !!!
We ought to do something, rather sooner than later... think of the kids!

Vikrant

Are you familiar with Dr RC Majumdar? That's the source I normally use for references on Indian history. I haven't seen a more comprehensive account of Muslim atrocities in India - every volume from Volume 5 (The Struggle for Empire) to the end has a section on Hindu-Muslim relations, while the main sections mention their depravations in every military campaign. I admit that all I have read of KS Lal or Sitaram Goel is what's online on voi.org; if they covered every deprivation in more depth than him, I'm unaware of it.

While I have some of those volumes on me physically (the rest being in India), I haven't located a good place on the Internet that has these online. If you can locate it, it would be a good thing to selectively archive on your site.

This is just India. Don't forget all the cultures between India and Morocco on one side, and from Sumantra to Mindanao on the other. Experts from those areas could point out what happened in all those places, like Joseph's and Rebecca's tomb, Sophia Haglia, the Alexandria Library, and who knows what else in the East Indies.

Whatever site ultimately gets set up should preferably cover Muslim excesses against all religions, as Hugh outlines above. Last thing we need is any of us being branded as religious fanatics; instead, if we feature assaults against every religion and not just our individual own, it has a higher likelihood of being taken more seriously.

Vikrant, check out the Hindu Holocaust Museum.

Posted by: atanu [TypeKey Profile Page] at April 22, 2006 2:14 AM

When all other religions and no religion are destroyed, there will only be Islam.
Once again with feeling...Islam creates psychotic episodes in submitters...Hugh describes some of the symptoms above.
Eliminating religious competition is not a new idea. Its been tried before. The problem is that Allahphrenics are very good at it, and tenacious.
And to add to that problem, there are lots of them, and they multiply like rabbits. Rapid expantion, and eventual take-over by birth, is actually a viable and workable way to Islamic domination. Immigrate and populate, then rule.
Clever...but not clever enough. Islam is losing its cloak of invisibility, and is being 'seen' by more and more people. Like Dracula in sunlight, Islams ugliest parts are illuminated for all to see, and more and more people become 'enlightened', as are most of the posters here. 'By their behavior you shall know them.'
There is hundredth monkey syndrome at work here. When the magick number of 'enlightened' people is reached, the ugliness of Islam will be accepted as a given by public opinion. At that time serious efforts at self defense will be made. This magickal number has obviously not been reached, but it is subject to rapid acceleration. A large scale attack in the US would create lots of enlightened people and they will be pzzed off...only an idiot wakes a sleeping bear...but then again, consider the source...

Hugh-

No need to spend money on such a literal, physical project. It would work just fine online. And more could see it there than would ever visit a 'museum'.

In the more tangible realm: just find the most desolate-looking empty lot in D.C. (very easy to do) and put up a grand arabesque archway sign over one side of it declaring:

"ISLAM'S GIFT TO THE WORLD"

And do nothing further.

People would eventually start wondering where the building is that they would expect to be constructed on the wasteland lot.

An 1-800-KNO-ISLAM number could be rented to answer this query with a recorded explanation:

"The current space IS our representation of the global depredations of Islamic Imperialism through the centuries. Thus, NO further work is needed on this conceptual art project."

Saves taxpayer dollars, and sends a clear message.

And the world sits passively by, spouting an occassional word of appeasement, while Moslems destroy whatever aspect of other peoples' religions they please, be it humans at prayer, or shrines or works of religious art. All of the deaths, the destruction and horror of WW2, and every other aggression caused by obsessive adherents to rigid belief systems haven't taught the powerful anything. We can write all the commentary we want in our frustration, but oil and greed are more important to Europe, N. America, China and Russia. As long as certain countries possess it, the rest of the world will let their co religionists do what they please, and grovel if their sensibilities are disturbed in any way. With disgust............

In 40 years or so, when Eurabia becomes West Arabia, what will become of the great museums that house the art treasures of our civilization, and the great cathedrals...?
Its awful to contemplate...

Posted by: sonnyboy [TypeKey Profile Page] at April 22, 2006 2:56 PM

Malaysia claims in its tourism ads to be Truly Asia. Maybe they should claim to be truly Islamic, instead. But it wouldn't rhyme so nicely.

Posted by: Eliyahu [TypeKey Profile Page] at April 22, 2006 4:27 PM

Anyone planning any tourist travel to Malaysia? If so, you might want to rethink it and visit some non-Islamic country instead.

Posted by: lilliana [TypeKey Profile Page] at April 22, 2006 7:02 PM

I have begun work on the idea that Hugh proposed (at least, a virtual version) and I'm working on the Flash map now. I think I might just make this the centerpiece of my blog and continually add appropriate information on the World Map over time. I'll post more information on this once I get the basic map online and going.

"An exhibit should be mounted, with its permanent home in Washington, D.C."

Excellent suggestion, Hugh.

This could be combined with rotating exhibits on the Muslim slave trade, the 1400 years of Islamic genocide against non-muslim peoples, and... an exhibit showing how culturally advanced Christian, Jewish, and Pagan Arabia was before the rise of Islam and how the Muslims destroyed that beautiful civilization.
