Pakistan: Three Hindus injured in acid attack for celebrating Holi

Mar 18, 2014 3:41 am By Robert Spencer

holi-feast-3“Muslims in Karachi believe that the attacker was a Hindu,” but this is extraordinarily unlikely. Holi is a Hindu feast during which people throw colored dyes upon one another. It’s a joyful, festive occasion, and while this may have been the work of some embittered Hindu, “the acid-throwing incident follows the burning of a Hindu temple and a community office in the southern Larkana district on Sunday, by angry mobs protesting the alleged burning of a Quran by a Hindu.” Those mobs were, of course, Muslim, and their rage is still burning white-hot. Also, given the occasions on which fanatical Islamic supremacists in Pakistan have thrown acid on women they deem disobedient, they seem to be the most likely suspects.

“Hindu in Pakistan suffer acid attack for celebrating Holi,” from Most Intolerant Religion, March 17 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Three Hindus were injured in an acid attack during a religious festival in Pakistan’s southern port city Karachi on Monday, according to police.

“People were throwing colors on each other at a ceremony to celebrate [Hindu religious festival] Holi in Model Colony area, when one of the participants threw acid-mixed color on the crowd and sped away,” said Pir Mohammad Shah, a city police chief.

We can hardly doubt the motivation behind this attack on Minority Hindus in Pakistan. As per the Standing Committee on Academic Research and Issuing Fatwas, it is strictly prohibited for Muslims to take part, celebrate the festivals of Kuffar (Hindus). It reads:

It is not permissible for the Muslim to join the kuffaar in their festivals and to express joy and happiness on these occasions, or to take the day off work, whether the occasion is religious or secular, because this is a kind of imitating the enemies of Allaah, which is forbidden, and a kind of co-operating with them in falsehood. It was proven that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever imitates a people is one of them.” [Fatwa no. 2540]

Muslims in Karachi believe that the attacker was a Hindu, ironically the acid-throwing incident follows the burning of a Hindu temple and a community office in the southern Larkana district on Sunday, by angry mobs protesting the alleged burning of a Quran by a Hindu.

Pakistan is a Muslim-majority country where Hindus are the second largest minority after the Christians. They make up 2 percent of the 180 million population.

    “Muslims in Karachi believe that the attacker was a Hindu”

    They probably also believe 9/11 was a US inside job to justify war against islam for the sake of oil.

      THey also believe muhahahahahamad flew to the Temple Mount (i.e. the “furthest mosque”) in a single night on a flying donkey, ascended to heaven and then came back down (I guess the accommodations weren’t to his liking).

    >Muslims belive

    Whoa! What an objective source. Muslims say/believe ergo we must STFU and take it for granted… or else.

    I attended a Holi Hai festival in America. Though it was a Hindu event by and for the local Hindu community, it was open to anyone and many different peoples from the surrounding multicultrual working class neighborhood attended.

    I was made to feel very welcome by everyone in attendance, frequently being greeted by complete strangers with (though it was march) an entheusiastic “Merry Christmas!”

    Whereas on Christmas a young muslim who worked at my corner deli, and whome I intereacted with every day, said “Happy Holidays” AT ME with more than a hint of venom – as if to control the interaction and forstall me saying merry christmas to him.

    (That wasn’t a subjective interpretation. We know the difference between being pleasant and not being pleasant – especially when it’s someone we interact with every day.)

      Someone once wrote a comment on his interaction w/NOI islam0nazis, he wrote something to the effect they were always polite, but never friendly.

        Yes—I used to patronize Your Black Muslim Bakery a long time ago—my husband and I would get their very tasty tofu burgers at A’s games.

        They were technically polite, but really icily hostile. This combined with their well-known virulent hatred of white people finally led me to stop buying from them.

        This was long before the exposure of their involvement with murder, assassination of apostates and critics, kidnapping, torture, the systematic rape of underaged foster kids, and more financial fraud than you can shake a stick at.

        Later when I found out just how horrific they were, I was glad that I had stopped patronizing them years before.

    Fascinating. The first reaction of Muslims is normally: “The violent act was meant to discredit us. No Muslim would do such a thing.”

    Such straightforward lying speaks volumes about Islamic ethics and it CULTURE OF TAQIYYA. The culture of taqiyya is one of the most dangerous and disturbing parts of Islam. It means basically that no Muslim may ever be taken on his word of honor.

      Muslims are only following a god who is “the best of deceivers”:

      Allah the Best Deceiver

    There is no happiness in Islam
    Dutiful Muslims must make sacrifice and be serious and pray
    Happy people are not as pious and cannot be as self-righteous Muslims
    Muslims are so proud to display their a serious composure.
    Misery does not like happiness.
    Happiness reminds Muslims of the emptiness of their lives in Islam.
    Muslims deeply resent happy people.
    Muslim misery is meant to be flaunted with smug pride.
    Muslims hate and secretly envy happy people.

    While Hindus around the world will be celebrating Holi – a Festival of colours so that to unite everybody, removing all enmity and egos and in fun so that life becomes colourful when living in God and leading a positive life and destroying the negative, that is the demons like: lust, greed, attachment, anger,pride, selfishness etc, Muslims all around the world think day and night, year after year since 621A.D about the destruction of humanity, killing, slaying, bomb attack, hijacking, terrorism, pedophilia (that is allowing child marriage) and even destroying other muslims like the followers of Sufism.Time to rid the land of Islam if you ask me!!!!

    It is a festival of good over evil, and also spring harvest. It has become fashionable to call it a festival of color but that is like saying Christmas is a festival of gifts. Misses the spiritual point.

    yes hindu will kill a hindu,but not a muslim….muslim loves all as his religion commands him. he is the most innocent because he is a muslim. all must overlook this attack as mere play, ignore 9/11 26/11 everything, overlook…..because there are bastards among us who feel obliged to advocate for “innocents”

    Wish I had known that sooner. The muslims who worked for me wanted their holidays AND the christian and secular American holidays. After all, that's when all their friends were off from work, too. So they could have parties.

    Pakistan: Three Hindus injured in acid attack for celebrating Holi

    “Muslims in Karachi believe that the attacker was a Hindu,” but this is extraordinarily unlikely.
    ………………………………..

    Yes, it’s unlikely—especially given the other recent attacks in Hindus. This is nothing but projection—and deflection.

    More:

    Holi is a Hindu feast during which people throw colored dyes upon one another. It’s a joyful, festive occasion…
    ………………………………..

    It’s also a joyfully noisy festival, which goes against the Muslim demand on dhimmis codified in the Pact of Umar that Infidels not “manifest [their] religion publicly”.

    http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/source/pact-umar.asp

    More:

    Muslims in Karachi believe that the attacker was a Hindu, ironically the acid-throwing incident follows the burning of a Hindu temple and a community office…
    ………………………………..

    I don’t believe there is *anything* “ironic” about this—the two acts of violence are almost certainly linked.
