Pakistan: Muslims waving pistols storm Hindu temple, desecrate idol of Hindu deity

Feb 5, 2016 8:31 am By Robert Spencer

“We don’t know who those men were. We have never seen them before. We are very saddened by the incident. It has really terrorised the neighbourhood.”

“And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may terrify the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do not know whom Allah knows.” (Qur’an 8:60)

“Panic grips Pakistani Hindus after temple is desecrated in Karachi,” PTI, February 3, 2016:

Karachi: Three pistol-waving bearded men stormed a 60-year-old temple in Pakistan’s largest city and desecrated the idol of a Hindu deity, leading to fear among the minority community here, a media report said on Tuesday.

The incident happened on January 21 when the three men clad in salwar and kameez stormed the temple waving pistols and ordered everyone inside the premises to step out.

The panic and scuffle that followed resulted in desecration of one of the three beautifully-decorated idols at the temple near the Karachi Zoological Gardens, Dawn reported.

“The people are afraid of coming here for puja now after the attack,” said Maharaj Hira Lal.

Other than the Maharaj and his family, the caretakers of this temple, nobody else was present when the scuffle broke.

“We don’t know who those men were. We have never seen them before,” the Maharaj said. “We are very saddened by the incident. It has really terrorised the neighbourhood,” he said.

The temple has three idols of deities Shitala Mata, Santoshi Mata and Bhavani Mata.

Maharaj said the temple was built as a place for worship by his grandfather soon after he moved to Pakistan from India some 60 years ago….

    What there are still Hindus in Pakistan?

    From about 22%in 1947 to about 1% in 2016!

    Who killed them off?

      Some were killed.

      A majority of Hindus fled to other countries mainly India, Thailand, Singapore, UK, US, Western Europe, Australia etc. to any country who would take them. ..

      Same is the case with Bangladesh… 35% hindus before partition.. now teetering at 5% or less…

      What scares me is what is happening in UK, Europe etc. You have pockets of townships that have been made Islamic ghettos…

      These Muslims are multiplying like mosquitos… 5 to 6 per family while local populace either don’t have children or have one child….

      Places like Blackburn, Luton, some parts of East London you don’t feel like you are in UK……

      They build mosques every quarter mile that frankly stands like a eye soar….

      Who is behind all this… Saudi and their oil rich Arab brethren.. they have all the politicians who are in power on their rolls….

      I happy that oil price collapsed…. a time will come when they will put out flames in their own back yards… from where they used to throw petrol bombs…

      This is the beginning of the end for Islam…. almost seems like a Muhammad is having a death struggle asking to be put out of its misery… .

        For a moment there I felt you were describing a neighborhood in any Indian city with Moslem majority. It seems to be the same everywhere.

        Worse still the Moslems here can have 4(!) wives and most prefer poverty in numbers over basic human decency, occupying any public land available.

        Government representatives hesitant to evict them because they vote as blocks leading to ‘vote bank politics.’

    The world could care less about crimes against Christianity.
    Perhaps other people suffering will count for something.

      ICH, I think the world could not care less about crimes against any an attack on the Western bubble. An attack in the US, Canada, Australia, France or England gets press. An attack in any part of Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, Mexico, Central America, or South America gets a shrug of the shoulders.

    Okay,

    I appreciate getting the daily information from Jihad. I am sick of what our self-proclaimed, anti-American (in his own words) Muslim President to systematically destroy our democracy based upon a just Constitution that Obama continues to malign, rewrite history by his lies about Muslims contributions to even the early of our country and his other lies that will one day soon become history rewritten and published in our children’s textbooks, An impeachment process should have been started by Congress years ago and even acts of treason but instead, he remains, neglection the Balance of power, ignoring the Constitution, stripping us of so many Amendment rights and has allowed the mass invasion of Muslims with special rights into our country. I have asked several groups that are talking a big talk about ridding us of Obama as the POTUS and begin the process of saving our country but what can or should Americans be doing to actually DO SOMETHING THAT IS EFFECTUAL BEGINNING NOW? Can the states get together and do something to undermine his power? Or are we to the point that we need a revolution? Answers, please.

      Have you heard of conventionofstates.com ? It’s inspired by Mark Levib’s book The Liberty Amendment, which seeks to curb the power of the Federal government. A few governors (I think Texas’s is one) have spoken in favor of it. But it’s not going to do anything so quickly that it will as remove Obama from office or curb his power. And the Republicans in the House don’t see any political gain from starting impeachment proceeding, especially with an election they have a good chance to win in view. They’re afraid of being tagged with wasting Congress’s time, since there’s no chance they have the votes to convict in the Senate.

    An Hindu moving from India to Pakistan AFTER seeing what muslims did to Hindus? Why would you that?

    • Jaladhi says

      Feb 5, 2016 at 9:51 am

      I was thinking the same – some thing sounds fishy here!! No Hindu in his right mind would even think of moving to Pakistan from India under any circumstances! And that too in Karachi – the hub of terrorists in Pakistan!!

    Idolaters (Hindus according to Sharia) have no rights under Sharia law. Islam is very intolerant especially to Hindus and atheists, but the atheists haven’t learned that yet. Hindus are the group that is most aware of Islamic supremacism.

    It is tragic Muslims in the area may experience an upcoming backlash. What oppression.
