Jihad Watch

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

Happy Diwali and Prosperous New Year!

Nov 13, 2020 8:00 pm By Robert Spencer 40 Comments

I wish all Hindu, Sikh, and Jain Jihad Watch readers and their families a happy and prosperous Diwali.

India is one of the front-line states in the global jihad war, and has been for centuries, as is demonstrated in detail in The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS. All free people need to stand with India in defense of the civilizations we have built and the understandings of human rights that we have formulated and share. These principles are essentially universal outside the realm of Sharia, and are worth defending, lest darkness descend upon the world entire.

But the lights still shine against that darkness. Happy Diwali!

        Let’s respect the other beliefs (even those who don’t believe in anything) please. The world is wonderfully plural with a multitude of cultures and beliefs. It is evident that there are incompatibilities and clashes. The clash of civilizations is a reality and it is evident in Islam, which continually has conflicts with any other civilization it encounters.Islam vs All. India, China, the West, Russia … and soon, also with the Japanese and Amerindian culture.

        God cannot be the monopoly of any one group or individual. He is for everyone and in any form or shape. The freedom of wershiping or glorifying him in any form is dipicted fully in Hinduism in a an acceptable manner

        I think you have misunderstood Hinduism . Christians believe that God came to earth only in the form of Jesus Christ but Hindus believe although there is one God he can come to earth in many forms including animal form . But it does not mean that there are many Gods. They are different manifestation of one God ,the creator . This is opposed to dogmatic belief of Muslims that God cannot come to earth in any shape or form . Hindus believe that humanity in all perfection is divinity . The whole purpose of human life is to strive towards divinity . The Hindu philosophy is most secular and least dogmatic when compared to many other major religions of the world . Perhaps you should go to some very good Hindu web sites and educate yourself.

      “Gs’, ” all the gods”, and whom are they ????? 🤷 Because the GOD of the Bible ELOHIM ✝️ JEHOVAH , EL-SHADDAI, says HE knows them not . end quote. That’s because they do not exist 🙄 read the Bible Mr , know the truth.

        @Goldmann. Our God is our god, but that doesn’t mean that ALL OF US got to have the same God. As long as people don’t do their best to kill innocent people in his name (as Muslims do now and the Spanish Inquisition did it’s best for many centuries). Our world would be very boring, if all of us will be programmed in the same way.

    Dear Mr. Robert, We have the concept of Avatar and well, in my definition, you are definitely an Avatar to shine the light on the darkness ( Islamic Terrorism) that threatens to encompass the whole world. Avatar have faults etc, but they have a purpose for which they are dedicated. And wishing you a very happy and Prosperous Diwali to you and your loved ones. Thank you very much for your tireless service for the humanity.

    I join the wishes for a happy Diwali for all Hindi worldwide. In my former Hague neighbourhood, lived many Hindi who came to The Netherlands from Suriname. They had (still have, if some of them are still living in that shit hole) excellent relations with the local Dutch. They have nice and inspiring holidays, as the light holiday of Diwali.

      Slight correction HIndi. is a language spoken largely in N India and is one of the official languages of India whereas a Hindu is one who professes Hinduism .

    We can no longer celebrate our festivals or do our rituals in muslim dominated areas. Your work help us to work so that we don’t loose the remaining places. May you keep working and keep doing the work you are doing. You are a hero, Robert!

    Happy Diwali also to those JW readers who believe in the principle of “Live and let live” the way we Hindus do.
    We Hindus light lamps on all 5 days of Diwali to dispel darkness. More strength to you to fight this tough battle against the forces of darkness.
    Thank you for all that you do Robert.

    Diwali is festival of light and is part of Dashara which means loosing ten vices including some of those mentioned in Ten Commandments. God bless Robert who represents bulwark of resistance against Islamofascism. Wish you and your family a very happy Diwali .
