Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Bahrain: Niqab-clad Muslima smashes Hindu idols, Muslims cheer, scream ‘Allahu akbar’ on social media

Aug 17, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

Bahrain police have summoned this woman, so the response to this is not monochromatic, but the enthusiastic reaction from some Muslims shows that bigotry, intolerance, and contempt for unbelievers is all too common in the Islamic world.

Now, why is that? Could it have anything to do with this and other verses like it? “Indeed, the worst of living creatures in the sight of Allah are those who have disbelieved” (Qur’an 8:55).

“Bahrain: Video of burqa-clad woman breaking Hindu idols goes viral, Islamists hail and celebrate on social media,” OpIndia, August 16, 2020:

The Ministry of Interior, Bahrain has issued a statement regarding the viral video and said that the Director-General of Capital Governorate Police the 54-year-old woman was summoned for intentionally damaging a shop in Juffair and breaking religious idols.

A video of a burqa-clad woman breaking idols of Lord Ganesha in a store has gone viral on social media.

In the video, one can see two women standing near an aisle where idols of Hindu gods are kept on the shelf. One of the women then picks up the idols and then throws it on the floor and breaks it. Soon, Islamists took to social media to celebrate the breaking of idols and hailing the woman for doing so.

MashAllah what country is this?

Some were of the opinion that smashing of idols must only be done when ‘Allah commands it’ and such arbitrary breaking of idols without direct instructions from Allah is unfair.

Islamists also celebrated the same on Facebook.

    More chuslam in action.
    Goes to show just like it has shown on a million different occassions that Islam is not compatible with free religious practice. It refuses to acknowledge the other. It is a barbaric, medieval holy mess of bad ideas which haven’t been challenged, cannot be reformed and will not make way for modern democratic values.

    I am not surprised at seeing this at all. Indians in Bahrain get your a**es out of there. Why do you live as second class citizens and contribute to their economy? Why do you subject yourselves to bigotry?

    Leave.

      What does chuslam mean?

      I agree that Bahrain is not safe for Hindus, though.

      • GreekEmpress says

        Yes—anybody have a definition of “chuslam”?
        All I could find out was it’s not a valid scrabble word—

        • gravenimage says

          Aug 18, 2020 at 5:02 pm

          I thought it might be like “Christlam”–a ridiculous blend of Christianity and Islam, mostly used by dhimmi Christians whitewashing Islam–but that wouldn’t make sense here. I have found the word “Chuslam” on line, but no definition, and nothing much I could glean from context.

      • UVG says

        Aug 20, 2020 at 1:35 pm

        To chus in hindi means to suck. Has nothing to do with Christianity. I believe all religions barring chuslam were probably made to improve human standards and to lead tot he evolution of humanistic values. However all religions have regressive parts.

          Indian history has witnessed Slave trade and a holocaust at the hand of bigotted British Empire on a ‘civilizing mission’.

          Any one who uses religious doctrine to suppress and exclude the other sucks. This includes Hindus, Budhdhists and anyone else.

          Therefore chuslam.

    Islam is obsessed with Allah although he does not exist———These islamic Women need to be educated——Islam will never be contained because they have various masters instructing them what to do——Imams Clerics Scholars who only know the Quran—–

    I traveled to Bahrain several times. I enjoyed going there as it was peaceful. Now, the local government can throw these women in a hole for disturbing commerce and destruction of property. They own the statues now!

      The woman was prosecuted! Good for Bahrain and democracy there!

    If an observant jew had screamed that let alone broken someone’s artifacts, they’d be seen as disturbed, or psychotic or whatever. And those observant jews who have no desire to believe in or accept any idol or image have no right in their faith, in the laws of their faith, to ‘smash’ to ‘destroy’ others idols.

    That is a profound difference. Very profound. The ijits who praise this ‘muslima’ are applauding the most mundane of ugly supremicist beliefs. By that, I mean that it shows no superiority to destroy someones beliefs, even if they may well be gossamer, or false, or less or whatever.

    The idea that Islam pushes into it’s supremicism is one of the preeminent reasons why it could never be, nor ever has been a …. ‘light unto the nations’.

    Of all the Hindu gods to destroy, why Ganesha? He is the god of wealth and certainly inoffensive. I know the answer but sometimes can’t help myself from asking any way.

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 17, 2020 at 11:14 pm

      Ganesha might be a benignant deity–“Allah” is not…

        No argument on that issue.

    Appropo this vulgar supremicis lauded by muslims on social media…. here is a portion of the next story about the use of an ied that killed some innocent herder children in burkina faso.

    “Northern Burkina Faso is notorious for jihadist attacks which have killed more than 1,000 people there and displaced about a million more since 2015.

    The victims were “nearly all children who were returning from grazing their livestock”, a local in Ouahigouya said. “The cart which carried some of them rolled over a mine.”….

    Jihadist violence, which is often accompanied by inter-community strife, has killed more than 4,000 people in Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso…”

    ——————–

    Let the msm, and the jihadists, and the leftists who ignore all this homicidism be confronted finally to see the horror that they excuse and bring into this world.

    I wish destroying a God is as easy as breaking an iidolThe simple Muslim mind does not realize that Hindus use these symbols as a tool to worship the almighty who is omnipresent and beyond definition .

    Some of them (too many) seem to be offended by everything — to the point of destruction. What a pitiful crowd.

    A gal can get fired up when wearing a niqab. You’re there, but unidentified, so why not denounce Infidelism? It’s sort of like how brave people get when they’re there, on social media, but unidentified.
