Bangladesh: Muslims attack Hare Krishna temple, injure seven for singing during Islamic prayer

Sep 3, 2016 10:49 am By Robert Spencer

The respect and circumspection that is demanded is not reciprocated. Here is an account by an American, Jesse Petrilla, visiting a church in Egypt: “I attended a prayer service there, and every 15 seconds over loudspeakers aimed at the church from the mosque next door, the Muslims were yelling at the Christians. ‘Allah akbar! Allah akbar!’ they would yell among other things in an attempt to disrupt the prayer. This was entirely outside of the five daily calls to prayer which come over the same loudspeaker. It was intimidation designed entirely to disrupt Christian prayer, and stopped as soon as everyone left after the service was over. I took a short video of the incident, and posted it on YouTube.”

“Bangladesh: ISKCON temple attacked for singing Kirtan during Muslims’ prayer, 7 injured,” by Sahidul Hasan Khokon, India Today, September 2, 2016 (thanks to Lookmann):

Seven, including a former woman councilor, injured and 15 arrested after locals attacked the ISKCON temple at Kajolshah area of Sylhet district in Bangladesh for singing Kirtan and playing drums during the prayers session of the Muslims.

According to coordinator of ISKCON temple Youth Forum, a painting competition for children and Kirtan were going on in the temple when the protest broke out….

” During the Jummah prayer of the Muslims this clash happened. As the gate of the temple was closed, the temple was saved from damages,” a source said….

    Part Four; Prophet, true or false? (from The undoing:Islam by its own words, the amazing free e-book that’s turning heads in some very high places. Get your copy or read it online here;- http://abelandsolomon.simplesite.com/424568444 , for the bigger picture read our book Islamic Apocalypse;- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AS09LYW )

    The Koran (61:6) says that Jesus predicted Mohammed by name but there is no record of this in the Gospels, or anywhere else outside of Islam.

    Prophet, true or false?
    Traditionally Islamic scholars have put forth a number of supposed “truths” that they say prove the Koran is from God; the fact that Mohammed had the seal of a prophet, the fact he was illiterate, the visitations he experienced when receiving the Koran, the fact it provides guidance, the accuracy of the content and the fact that it is perfect and infallible. The seal of a prophet disappointingly turns out to be a big hairy lump on his back. His illiteracy only impresses Muslims, indeed critics of the Koran say that Mohammed’s inability to read or write is the reason why there are so many errors in it.

    The Satanic Verses
    Mohammed, after having previously maintained that every word in the Koran had been given to him by God, admitted that he had been tricked into including verses inspired by Satan; “I (Muhammad) have fabricated things against God and have imputed to Him words which He has not spoken.” If any statement previously held up by Mohammed as being from God, is later by his own admission proven not to be from God, but from Satan, then it begs the question whether other parts of, or even the whole, Koran might be from the Satan also.

    Abrogation
    Rather than being eternal and unchanging like the words of the Torah and Bible, the words of the Koran were subject to updating, or abrogating, by the Prophet; (16:31) “When We substitute one revelation for another…” In practice abrogation creates a great difficulty in understanding the Koran because its verses are not in the chronological order of their revelation. However, there are records of the order in which the verses were received, so, for example, we know that Chapter 2 was revealed before Chapter 8. Thus verse (2:256) “Let there be no compulsion in religion”, which meant that everyone be free to practice their own religion, was abrogated by a later verse; (8:39) “Make war until…all religion is for Allah.” The penultimate chapter of the Koran in chronological terms, chapter 9, is one of the most violent in its incitations and so abrogates all of the earlier more peaceable content. It repeats several times; “Make war on the non-Muslims…”.

    Fatalism
    (9:51) “Naught befalleth us save that which Allah has decreed”. There are many verses that clearly tell you that it is Allah’s choice whether you live well or go astray; (13:27) “Lo, Allah sendeth whom He will astray…”, (7:186) “Whomever Allah leads into error…He leaves them blundering in their blindness”, (47:23-24) “…they whom Allah curseth so that He deafeneth them and maketh blind their eyes. Will they not meditate on the Koran?” How can you meditate on the Koran if you’re blinded and made deaf and so can’t read it or have anyone read it to you? And it seems Allah won’t offer them forgiveness either; (4:48) “Lo, Allah forgiveth not…”, (4:168) “Allah will never forgive them…” If Allah has caused people to go astray, won’t forgive, and then sends them to hell because of it, is that fair? Surely its Allah’s fault!

    Genocide
    So does the Koran provide good guidance? History teaches us that through the ages Islamic rule has brought many pogroms and genocides and this continues to our day. Many have taken place since the advent of news reporting, so today we have some accurate details of what happened in the cases below; Assyria 1843-46, Syria; Aleppo 1850, Damascus 1860, Armenia 1873-76, Bulgaria 1876, Persia 1894, Balkans 1912-1913, Ottoman Greeks 1913- 1923, Armenia 1915, Assyria 1915-1918, Iraq 1933, Bosnia 1943, Syria 1947, Ottoman Greeks 1955, Cyprus 1960, India (Pakistan/Bangladesh) 1971, Uganda 1971-1972, Cyprus 1974, Afghanistan 1979, Syria 1981-?, Iraq 1986-89, Afghanistan 1986-2001, Kashmir 1990-?, Libya 2011-?, Nigeria 2014-?, Iraq 2014-?

      Is that satanic verse in the Koran? That’s the one I’d want to be able to quote.

        Kay, here is Wiki Islam’s exhaustive coverage of the Satanic Verses incident:

        https://wikiislam.net/wiki/Qur'an,_Hadith_and_Scholars:Satanic_Verses

        The quote cited by abel & solomon, above, does not come from the Qur’an itself, but from the very influential Muslim scholar and Qur’anic commentator al-Tabari (839–923 AD). This is certainly a respected Islamic source.

    if Islam were as wonderful as they want us to believe, why would they attack anyone of any other faith. Let us remember, that Christians in this present age do not attack people of other religions. And our president reminds us of a time when the Roman Catholic Church was responsible for genocide during the time of the Crusades and on the priesthood were allowed to read the Bible. Let us remember also that the reason for the Crusades occurred because of the Islamic onslaught of the whole world during that time. Remember how Spain’s language has much Islamic words similar to their language because the Muslims had taken over Spain. He, the president can make reference to the Crusades and never mention why they occurred because even though he says he is a Christian, HIS WIFE CONVINCED HIM TO CALL HIMSELF A CHRISTIAN TO GET ELECTED TO OFFICE AND WE CAN SEE HE IS A MUSLIM.

    Muslims attacking Hindus, Buddhists and Sikhs is nothing new. Not a month goes by where “infidels” are not killed in Bangladesh and Pakistan. In the 800 year occupation of India, according to noted historian Will Durant between 50 and 100 million Hindus, Buddhists and Sikhs were killed.
    No ancient temple remain in northern India and the more peaceful buddhist community in India was destroyed, completely eliminated, except in the Himalayan foothills. The Hindus were protected by vigorous martial classes and Sikhs. The wars lasted until the British came, for over 1000 years, the longest resistance to Jihad.
    So this attack is nothing new. They are lucky they were not killed or their temple burned.
    Hare Krsnas are Hindu missionary movement and are seen as a threat inspiring the Hindus to stay Hindu and not become submitted or in Arabic Muslims.
    Perhaps, as is the custom a Hindu marching band will appear outside the main mosque on Friday afternoon playing ”Hey Jude” and other popular tunes by way of revenge. Spirited Hindus have done this before, God not allah the moon god, bless them.

      I think the colonization by the British was far better than the Mohammedan invasion in India. India has retained it’s rich hindu culture regardless of the British occupation. We know from history that wherever the moslems went they destroyed civilization after civilization until nothing remained but their own obnoxious backward islamic culture in the occupied country.

        As a Hindu and an Indian I completely agree with you.

        The biggest disaster to befall India was independence. Whatever good happened here was a contibution of the British. But they had many faults, including a contempt for Hindus and an admiration for the Muslims. Their great grand daughters are feeling the results in Rotherham et al.

    Bangladesh: Muslims attack Hare Krishna temple, injure seven for singing during Islamic prayer
    ……………………

    And, as always, Muslims will enforce Islamic norms through violence.

    And don’t expect the perpetrators to face serious charges in Muslim-majority Bangladesh. In fact, it may be the Hare Krishnas who will face legal repercussions.

    More:

    The respect and circumspection that is demanded is not reciprocated.
    ……………………

    Indeed not.

    The “bridge” between Islam and other faiths is one-way — as the Muslim Brotherhood theorist Sayyid Qutb explained: “The chasm between Islam and Jahiliyyah [the society of unbelievers] is great, and a bridge is not to be built across it so that the people on the two sides may mix with each other, but only so that the people of Jahiliyyah may come over to Islam.”

    The number of non-Muslims in Bangladesh is just a small remnant and is fewer all the time, as Hindus, Christians, Sikhs, and others are driven out, convert to Islam, or are murdered outright.

    Respect is a one-way street for muslims.
    According to muslims, we have to respect their religion and their moon god but they in turn would not dream of reciprocating with respect for our Gods and our religion.
    Sad.

    I am very happy that Dr. Spencer and his team is providing an invaluable platform for disseminating informatio which otherwise would never have seen the light of the day in current, politically correct media. When Gujarat riots of 2002 happened the whole world ganged up against the current PM Mr. Modi who had taken over as the Chief Minister of that State, a few months earlier. The Western meda including the ones in US pictured him as murderer of innocent Muslims. No body worth his salt tried to understand what actually happened.

    Since 1947 when India got independence, there has not been a single riot which was initiated by Hindus against the Muslims. Each and every riot was started by Muslims and Hindus just responded to the call. What would you do when the state indulges in minority appeasement and refuses to hold recalcitrant Muslims accountable? When they will come for your blood, you have no choice you have to fight to stay alive. India has the second largest Muslim population in the world, surrounded by jihad inspiring Pakistan on its West and lawless and poverty stricken Bangladesh in the East. I suggest Americans should wait and see when the Muslim population reaches 30-35% of America’s national average.
