Everywhere that Muslims and non-Muslims live together, non-Muslims are brutalized and victimized. Yet in the West, the pushers of the “Islamophobia” narrative have succeeded in gaining widespread acceptance of the idea that Muslims are routinely harassed and persecuted. Reality is the other way around.
“Attack by militants kills at least seven Hindu pilgrims in Kashmir,” by Michael Safi, Guardian, July 10, 2017:
Seven Hindu pilgrims have died in a firefight between militants and police in Kashmir during a highly sensitive religious procession.
Six women and one man were killed in Monday evening’s attack in the southern district of Anantnag. It was the deadliest assault on Hindu pilgrims in the majority-Muslim region since 2000, and comes amid heightened religious tensions across northern India and another summer of violence in Kashmir.
The Indian prime minister, Narendra Modi, tweeted he was “pained beyond words at the dastardly attack” on Hindus participating in the Amarnath Yatra, an annual pilgrimage to a cave shrine near the hill station of Pahalgam. Modi added:
The pilgrimage, which has grown enormously in popularity since the early 1990s and been a source of tension in the past, went ahead this year despite police intelligence of a planned militant attack.
Unprecedented security measures, including surveillance cameras, bulletproof bunkers and phone jammers, had been implemented to protect the estimated 115,000 pilgrims.
It was suspended on Saturday because of security fears on the one-year anniversary of the killing of Burhan Wani, an anti-India militant whose death triggered weeks of protests and the longest curfew in the history of Indian-controlled Kashmir.
Police in Kashmir said the attack began with militants firing on a security bunker and a police checkpoint in Anantnag. “The fire was retaliated. A tourist bus was hit by bullets in which about 18 tourists were injured,” they said in a statement. “Among them six persons died while [the] rest are being treated.”…

Islam has a doctrine of the ‘near enemy’.
Koran 9.123 “O you who believe! Fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness; and know that Allah is with those who guard (against evil).”
Egyptian jihad theoretician Muhammad abd al-Salam Faraj wrote in “The Neglected Duty” (Al Faridah al Ghaibah) about the necessity of attacking the ‘near enemy’ first in order to create a strong Islamic base from which to attack the ‘far enemy’.
The book “The Neglected Duty” by Faraj provided the authority for the assassination of President Anwar Sadat in 1981.

Hating Hindus is the pretext for the murder of 80 million Hindus by Muslims. This sacred ‘hatred’ of ‘wrong worshippers’ comes from the Koran, hadiths and commentaries of Islam. Sufism had the greatest hatred of Hindus.
Ahmad Sirhindi (1564-1624 ) one of the greatest of Sufi saints wrote in his letter No. 163: “Islam and infidelity (kufr) contradict one another. To establish the one means eradicating the other, the coming together of these contradictories being impossible. Therefore, Allah has commanded his Prophet to wage war (jihad) against the infidels, and be harsh with them. The glory is Islam consists in the humiliation and degradation of infidels and infidelity. He who honours the infidels, insults Islam. Honouring (the infidels) does not mean that they are accorded dignity, and made to sit in high places. It means allowing them to be in our company, to sit with them, and talk to them. They should be kept away like dogs. If there is some worldly purpose or work which depends upon them, and cannot be served without their help, they may be contacted while keeping in mind all the time that they are not worthy of respect. The best course according to Islam is that they should not be contacted even for worldly purposes. Allah has proclaimed in his Holy Word (Quran) that they are his and his Prophet’s enemies. And mixing with these enemies of Allah and his Prophet or showing affection for them, is one of the greatest crimes…”

Well pointed out. Sufism is not as harmless as it is made out to be. It’s bloodthirsty as well about the infidels.
John Forbes says
ISLAM is a VERY DANGEROUS IDEOLOGY & is the new FASCISM for the 21 st Century & may well prove to be far more dangerous that the FASCISTS of the 1930’s because it is now in our HOMES !!

Good posts, Mortimer.

Why do Muslims keep insisting that they are being oppressed by Hindus?
Tara says
Bloodthirsty Muslims. And Hindus who have suffered butchery and bloodshed and barbarism at their hands for 1500 years
pnr says
The only humane solution is sterilization of all Moslems occupying Dharmic Territory of Kashmir – Kashmir is crown of India.
pnr says
or Moslems can undergo Ghar Wapsi (become members of Dharmic community)

It is horrific how much Hindus have suffered at the hands of ravening Muslims.

The 1st teaching of Buddha who was a Hindu. is the right viewpoint. The 2nd is right action.
As General Shelton said, “The only good Muslim is a dead Muslim.

So what is the solution now? Is there one?
When harsh dictators and rulers, beginning with Stalin and Mao followed strict Marxist atheism as state policy and reduced Islam to benign sermons on Fridays and stopped the teaching of the Koran as doctrine, they were branded ‘Godless communists’, ‘socialists’, etc. and actively opposed by the Western powers.
Abdul Nasser, Saddam Hussein, Hafez Assad, Gaddaffi, the Yemeni Leftist govt., etc. tried to suppress Islamic fundamentalism in their own populations, sometimes brutally. But they were the enemies of the West.
When, predicting the grave dangers posed by fundamentalism on their borders, the USSR invaded Afghanistan and established an atheist regime there and planned to ultimately cleanse neighbouring Pakistan of fundamental Islam, they were opposed and massive amounts of money and material were provided to the Jihadis.
So now we are where we are. Godless Marxism is defeated but barbaric, medieval Islamic jihadism is out of the bottle in the process! Oops! Too late now……..The religion has been hijacked for political purposes.
We all have to weather this one out. It is like a natural calamity…. a hurricane, an earthquake.
This might last four generations. Bin Laden predicted a 100 year war. This is the 3rd world war.
Fundamentalist Muslims have become the greatest enemies of Muslims too now. Eliminate them, protect the innocent ones.Jihadism will ultimately be defeated for sure. The Muslim masses will get educated and will transcend this rotten ideology for their own salvation.
Stop fundamentalist teachings and the funding of Madarsas and schools by the rabid streak of Sunni Islam, the Salafist Wahabbism emanating from Saudi Arabia as official policy, the real ‘Islamic State’, preaching hatred of the ‘kafir’ as literal truth.
Ban all organized religions all over the world if nothing works. Burn down the whole forest to destroy this predator!
And no point in abusing Islam and Mohammad. The Koran was written during war in Arabia fourteen centuries ago and has no relevance now. One will only create more enemies by cursing them.

Your idea that the solution to the threat of totalitarianism is totalitarianism of another brand is very questionable.
We didn’t beat the Nazis by become Fascists ourselves.
Chand says
We did not become Fascists ourselves while beating Nazism but the Nazis were defeated BOTH by liberal democracies AND the totalitarian Communists. The brunt of Nazi barbarism fell on the the USSR and the fiercest and deadliest battles were fought on the Eastern Front. The Red Army was the major force in destroying Hitler. And 27 million people of the former USSR perished in the process!
The main point is that the teaching of the Koran as doctrine has to be reduced and finally stopped. Especially to children, brainwashing them into a lifelong belief of total hatred of the ‘infidel’. Let adults read or study the Koran as a piece of world literature, Arabian history, religious history, etc. as one does Homer or Dante or whoever. Or modify it, deleting all objectionable and problematic passages. But how can the Koran be singled out to be banned or modified?
That will only feed into the self-fulfilling prophecy that is the Holy Book……..”See! The Infidels are against us because we believe in the One God. blah, blah………”
If one bans the Koran then all religious books have to banned.
The literal interpretation of this seventh century book is causing immense harm to even the Muslims themselves today. Especially the poor Muslim masses, fed by this intolerant ideology in madarsas, schools and mosques, funded by intolerant, wealthy Muslims.
