India: Muslims torch cars and loot police station over Hindu “hate speech”

Jan 4, 2016 11:59 pm By Robert Spencer

The only catch is that no one is actually sure what Kamlesh Tiwari really said. But even the allegation that he said something offensive to Muslims has been enough to touch off these riots, and true to form, authorities are blaming him, rather than those who go mad and burn and pillage over the slightest critical word.

torched cars India

“Tension simmers in Malda: Hindu leader’s ‘hate speech’ sparks violence as protesters torch cars and loot police station,” by Soudhriti Bhabani, Daily Mail India, January 4, 2016:

An uneasy calm now prevails in West Bengal’s northern Malda district, following a massive protest rally by Muslim groups on Sunday January 3 against the hate speech of Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha leader Kamlesh Tiwari.

Over two dozen police vehicles, including one belonging to India’s border-guarding agency Border Security Force (BSF), were torched.

Malda’s Kaliachak police station was ransacked as an irate crowd went on a violent rampage in the Muslim-dominated Sujapur area of the district.

“The situation is now under control. Regular police arrangements are there in that area to take care of the law and order part,” Malda district police superintendent Prasun Banerjee told Mail Today, refusing to divulge anything further on the situation and about the organisation which held the protest rally.

Asked about the number of arrests, the police official said that raids are on.

“No one has been arrested so far,” he added.

Armed with tall green flags, thousands of sloganeering protesters took out the march on National Highway (NH)-34 on Sunday, condemning self-proclaimed Hindu Kamlesh Tiwari’s recent hate speech about the Prophet Muhammad, though nobody knew what exactly the Hindu fundamentalist leader had said.

The violence broke out when the protesters came across a North Bengal State Transport Corporation (NBSTC) bus that was trying to cross the rally.

They got into an argument with the driver of the bus and soon the situation got out of control. The passengers got off the bus as the protesters had set it on fire. Then the mob attacked the nearby Kaliachak police station, drove out all the policemen and ransacked the building, including its barracks.

They destroyed all the records that were stored on piled-up files and computers.

The violent mob also attacked the BDO office at Kaliachak-I, and went to Khaltipur railway station and squatted on the railway tracks in protest.

When police arrived, a clash broke out which injured several officers on duty.

As tension gripped the area, shops were shut down. The Muslim protesters also looted some nearby houses. Rapid Action Force (RAF) personnel were called in to take control of the situation.

Police sources said peace and normalcy were restored in the troubled area late last night.

“The situation is under control now,” Malda district magistrate Sharad Devidi told Mail Today. Sources said an organisation called Anjuman Ahle Sunnatul Jamat (ASJ) had organised the rally which led to violence in the area. However, an ASJ official later claimed that “outsiders” had masterminded the rampage.

Kamlesh Tiwari, the self-proclaimed Hindu leader, was arrested following protests across the country over his alleged remarks.

On December 3, 2015, Tiwari reportedly called the Prophet Muhammad the world’s first homosexual. He had also reportedly circulated pamphlets against the Muslim community. He was arrested in Lucknow and is currently lodged at the Lucknow District Jail.

The Lucknow police have invoked the National Security Act against Tiwari. The Hindu Mahasabha has stated that Tiwari is not at all a part of their outfit.

A case under IPC sections 153-A (promoting enmity between groups on ground of religion and doing acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony) and 295-A (deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs) was registered against Tiwari at Lucknow’s Naka Hindola police station.

The FIR against Tiwari also alleged that his statement had caused serious tension and led to protests by a community in various pockets.

    I thought the saying was “actions speak louder than words” but apparently the “rioters” think words speak louder than actions. I’m sure that has somethin’ to do with the unholy ko ‘ran which teaches backwards concepts of pretty much everything. Ham sandwiches be upon them.

      Sharia: an enslavement vehicle that has nothing to do with PEACE, for not one can obey the strictures to their fullest and are thus, deficient.

    The Muslims are obviously in love with Mo, the men that is, to react thus.
    If i was to quote the poet Frazer sharp as a razor, ie. his poem about Jesus-
    “Jesus of Nazereth, born in a stable, gave his disciples blow jobs under the table”
    no Christian is gonna react or riot.
    Or if i was to say that Buddha is gay because he didn’t fuck the milkmaid then Buddhists would smile at me.
    Or if i say that Krishna is a narcissistic spoilt brat, no Hindu is gonna give me grief.
    Muslims have been made crazy, since birth mainly, it’s not their fault, for the purpose of rape, pillage and plunder, for the furtherance of Islam.
    Not like the rest of the world is innocent though, but Islam is outta hand, but in an obvious way.
    There is conscious evil afoot here, in all of this.
    Take it all with a pinch of salt, and believe nothing out of hand.

      [quote] no Christian is gonna react or riot.[quote/]

      citycat, as a fundamental Christian, I appreciate the sentiment, but I can tell you from experience that though most Christians may not riot, some of them will certainly ‘react,’ and sometimes in a not very mature way. A good number of years ago, when the New Age movement was just coming on the scene
      in the media, I read of an incident (I can’t find the article on the internet now) where a New Age lady had moved to a rural area in the Midwest and set up a Buddhist mandala on her property. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandala#/media/File:Sri_Yantra_256bw.gif

      The fundamental Christians in the area started thinking she was a witch and got themselves upset to the point where the men had started making plans for killing her on their own. Local law enforcement then came by and gave them a good stern talking to and nipped it in bud.

      But since 9-11, I have have noticed that some fundamental Christians who had tendency to act like Muslim fundamentalists have, for the most part, stopped doing so. The counter example has been too ugly to escape notice. And that is possibly the only thing I can thank fundamental Muslims for. In the end, is not whether or not you are a fundamentalist. Its what is in your fundamentals:

      “And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.” Gospel of Luke 9:51-56 (KJV).

        I(as born muslim) appreciate your answer,and this is a huge difference between muslims & christians(and almost all other religions)

        There are crazy conservative christians too,but you will always find conservative christians to acceppt this negative facts about themselves (and even pointing to this fact,just like you did)and even copycat will have no problems to do so,or (at least) to tolerate your point of view,
        while a muslim will always try to deny or to blame others as soon as he is confronted with negative facts,
        and THEREFORE denying reality= impossible to make a change,as you have to analyse a problem and be able criticizing yourself and your own people to find out where the problek is.

    As I remember the feminist writer Germaine Greer said about Muslims, ‘what they do best is mayhem’.
    To that one can add murder, arson and criminal damage. This is bad enough when it happens in Pakistan which is a Muslim state so we expect it, especially directed against Christians, but it shows how Muslims are on the rampage in India also.

    Daily Mail got it wrong.

    Ii is not a ‘hate speech’ but a (supposedly) ‘derogatory’ remark by Mr.Tiwari..

    ‘Muhammad was the first gay in the world’ was the remark by Mr.Tiwari, in response to a Muslim leader’s comment that several Hindu leaders are gays.[ as per Indian Media reports]

    Is not that ‘ blasphemy’ ?,

    Muslims have been waging predatory Jihad against Hindus since the mid-7th century A.D. The first Arab Islamic imperialists and colonizers reported that there were too many Hindus to slaughter, unlike the polytheists and idolaters of Arabia who were exterminated or forcibly converted to the religion of “peace, justice, and tolerance.”

    Caliph Ali (AH 38-39, 659 AD) had Hind attacked. Per a Muslim chronicler: “He was victorious, got plunder, made captives, and distributed in one day a thousand heads.” (page 116, Volume 1, The History of India, As Told By Its Own Historians: The Muhammadan Period, 1867, Sir H.M. Elliot, ed. by John Dowson)

    Here is a quotation from a Hindu who survived Muslim depredations, which were ended by the British imperialists:

    “God forbid that the Firingis should imitate the Musulmans in carrying on a holy war against infidels! …. God be praised that those wretches are now the sufferers! From the day that the rule of the English has been established, even the wing of a gnat has not been injured by the blast. I have myself seen the depredations of the Afghans round Dehli and Mattra. God defend us from them! It makes the very hair of the body stand on end to think of them. Two hundred thousand men were destroyed in these massacres, and the hordes of the enemy were without number. Such atrocities, forsooth, were perpetrated in compliance with their religion and law! What cared they for the religion, the law, the honour and reputation of the innocent sufferers? It was enough for such bigots that splendour accrued by their deeds to the faith of Muhammad and ’Ali!” (Volume 8, pages 405-406)

    According to http://www.politicalislam.com, 80 million Hindus have been killed by Muslims since their first depredations in Central and South Asia (only black Africans have fared worse). (See: http://www.politicalislam.com/tears-of-jihad/.) And, there is no end in sight to the anti-Hindu Jihad fi sabil allah.

    See Moorthy S. Muthuswamy’s “Defeating Political Islam: The New Cold War” for a more up-to-date analysis of the Jihad in contemporary India, and the Useful Idiots (non-Muslims) who enable it.

    He called muhammad a pedophile and a homosexual.

    It began as a slanging match. A muslim leader commented on live TV that RSS pracharaks do not marry because they are homosexuals. Now RSS is a Hindu nationalist organisation , and its political wing BJP is leading central government in India.Following the traditions of Hindu clergy, its pracharaks are not allowed to marry.Thus that Muslim leader was insinuating that Hindus who take vow of celibacy due to religious reason are homosexuals.

    Though he is not with either RSS or BJP, he retorted to this by stating that muhammad was a homosexual and a pedophile. He stated muslim source for that:

    Muhammad lift up the shirts of his cousin Alis two boys, Hassan and Hussein, and kissed their genitals.
    Al Hubeir by Ibn Hagar 60-61
    “He (the prophet) put Hussein’s legs apart and kissed his penis.” #169 Al Nawawi v.2 p 42

    Al Tabari p 127 Abdallah bin ‘Adiy v.6 p. 49

    Majma al-Zawa’id, Ali ibn Abu Bakr al-Haythami, 299/9 “I saw the Messenger of Allah pbuh spreading Husein’s legs apart and kissing his (little) penis.”

    India: Muslims torch cars and loot police station over Hindu “hate speech”
    ………………………………..

    This is typical–in reaction to “hate speech”–really, just an offhand remark about the foul “Prophet”, the nature of which most of the rioters had not even heard–Muslims run violently rampant.

    And they did not just “torch cars”, as bad as that is–they *set a bus full of passengers on fire*. If they had not been able to escape, you could have added the most horrific murder to their crimes.

    And that Kamlesh Tiwari was arrested in India–which is supposed to be a democracy–for making a non-violent comment is grotesque. This is even more perverse since none of the Muslim rioters were arrested.

    And we see that the police were utterly overwhelmed, and had their station and barracks completely destroyed by ravening Mohammedans. Look for more of this madness coming to the West.

    Cities with a substantial Muslim population need special SWAT type teams who can quickly respond with draconian force (machine guns, flame throwers, hand grenades) to wipe out mad mobs in a flash.

    As always, one marvels at this display of the peace and tolerance of Islam by peaceful, tolerant Muslims.

    The only catch is that no one is actually sure what Kamlesh Tiwari really said.

    In good, old-fashioned leftist fashion, the accusation is the evidence. No wonde they get along so well.

    Prayer Warrior-
    Is there not a fundamental difference between the manifested fundamentalism of Christianity and that of Islam, with respect to your “suffer not a witch to live” example?
    This being that the witch persecution was happening only there, in that Christian area.
    In Islam she may be killed? even though Islam practices witchcraft and thinks they are the top men in magic.
    She won’t be harassed in most Christian areas, but she may be in most Muslim areas, and not only witches.
    All non-Islamic presences will be harassed by Islam.
    All non-Christian presences are not generally harassed by Christians, not on a ground level anyway, it seems.
    I don’t know how true that is in Hindu or Buddhist areas, but not heard much of it, these days.
