The international media continues to focus on “Islamophobia.” This is the reality.
“‘Hinduphobia in Pakistan’: Shocking Videos of Hindu Temple Being Set on Fire Infuriates Twitter | Watch,” India.com, December 31, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
In a shameful incident, a mob of over hundred people led by local Muslim clerics reportedly destroyed and set on fire a Hindu temple in Karak district of Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on Wednesday.
According to Daily Times, a rally was organised by Jamiat Ulema-e Islam-Fazl (JUI-F), a Sunni Deobandi political party in Pakistan nearby where speakers delivered fiery speeches after which the charged crowd stormed the temple, set it ablaze and razed it to the ground. The report quoted JUI-F KP Amir Maulana Ataur Rahman who said his party has nothing to do with the burning down of the temple as it happened after their party’s rally.
Many videos of the incident have surfaced on social media showing a group of men breaking the walls and roof of the temple, while smoke billows from the structure. It is also being said that local administration and police officials remained silent spectators as the temple was razed to the ground. No case has been registered and neither any arrest made so far in the incident.
The act against Hindu minority community is widely condemned by human rights activists based in Pakistan and other parts of the world.
Shama Junejo, a London-based human rights activist tweeted, “This is new Pakistan! A Hindu Temple was destroyed today in Karak, a city in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, governed by PTI Govt. Police or forces didn’t stop the mob because they were chanting Allah-o-Akbar. A shameful day, Beyond condemnation indeed!”…
Uma Maheswar Nakka says
Really a shameful day, Beyond condemnation indeed, These people are shame less.

I am an INDIAN and a hindu.In india the muslims are now protesting every act of the government,start rioting,kills the kaafir(non muslims) and mostly work as sleeper cells to make terrorist activity.Recently they have placed the explosive device in front of the house of Indian billionaire who is Asia’s richest person Mr. Mukesh Ambani.If any legal action take against them then they start playing victim cards such islamphobia, rising intolerance and even they accuse our respected prime minister Mr.Narendra Modi of being islami phobic.Muslims are not just termite for India but for whole world.

PAKI is CHUTIA. lol…. Why going after Hindu Temple i think they want War with India with 160 Atom Bombs fry all Pakis ?Do not mess with India Temple or Christian Temple or any others?
James Lincoln says
So the political party “Jamiat Ulema-e Islam-Fazl” woke up one morning and decided that would be a good idea to inspire other muslims to burn down a Hindu temple.
Standard, mainstream, plain-vanilla islam on display…

Grimly true, James.
Infidel says
I had no idea that there were still any Hindu temples left in Pashtunistan, given that that area has witnessed 1000 years of uninterrupted jihad (except for a brief interlude of Sikh rule)
I’ll avoid saying anything further that would trigger a ban

Infidel, this is what Wikipedia has to say about Hindu temples in Pakistan: A survey carried out by All Pakistan Hindu Rights Movement Pakistan’s revealed that out of 428 Hindu temples in Pakistan only around 20 survive today and they remain neglected by the Evacuee Trust Property Board which controls those while the rest had been converted for other uses.
Just tragic–but even this is not enough for truly pious Muslims.
Infidel says
A report on Zee news yesterday – a mainstream Hindi language news channel – reported that at independence, Pakistan had something like 1500 temples, which is down to 30 in 1998. So it’s probably fewer today
Pakistan needs to start being treated by the rest of the world in the same way South Africa was in the 70s and 80s

Just awful, Infidel. And yes–every civilized nation *should* be boycotting Pakistan.
Mojdeh says
In Pakistan Americans are kidnapped. I used dress like locals… Talk very low etc.. Pakistan was good not any more since year 2000 and beyond. They also kidnap people from all other nations as well. They are Chutia.

Mojdeh, Pakistan has been persecuting and murdering Infidel since its inception in 1947.

Pakistan: Muslims screaming ‘Allahu akbar’ set Hindu temple on fire
……………
Hideous–these poor Hindus.
God, I hate Islam.
And likely Pakistani authorities will do nothing–except possibly arrest any Hindus making a report.
Khushi says
Hindus wouldn’t dare file a complaint. Even when their daughters are kidnapped and stolen, they are scared to file charges because the police, politicians, general muslim public, all are against the Hindus.
gravenimage says
Most often true, Khushi.
Khushi says
Have the US mainstream media reported this incident? I have my doubts. Even if they report it, it will be just a line or two in the passing. Whereas, there are reams and reams of articles written about the “poor muslims” when MSM reports about islamophobia – real or imagined. When muslims are perpetrators and violent aggressors, MSM just looks the other way. Shame.

And to think that this (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) was a peaceful and highly cultured society before the advent of islam, while the inhabitants were Hindus and Buddhists. As soon as islam stepped in, the culture and peacefulness was erased bit by bit.
Cicero says
Europe and U.K. had better look out . Just observe how this peaceful community encroach consolidate and make demands the impose and erase the host culture gradually even dramatically
Infidel says
They had an opportunity in the 19th century when Ranjit Singh conquered those areas and put them under a Sikh kingdom. Something that the Brits just had to dismantle!
What was it that Rudyard Kipling and Mark Steyn were telling us again about ‘white man’s burden’ or ‘being an old school imperialist’? At least Steyn gives Russians the credit where credit is due
gravenimage says
I agree the Brits in India were a mixed bag–but had it not been for them Islam would ahve likely had an even greater strangle-hold on India.
Infidel says
Actually no. The Mughal empire was restricted to a suburb of Delhi – it was even less of a city-state than the Byzantines were when the Ottomans captured Constantinople. The Marathas were on the ascendant, and the only major muslim kingdom in India was the Nizam of Hyderabad, and a temporary muslim coup in Mysore. While history is to a degree unpredictable, chances are that left to their own devices, the Marathas would have conquered all of India and made it all Hindu again. Icing on the cake: no Pakistan nor Bangladesh!
And in the North West, the Sikhs had for the first time in history not only conquered all of Punjab but even cities like Peshawar. While history can be unpredictable, chances are w/ the Russians disintegrating Muslim powers like the Khanates of Bukhara and Khiva, there would likely never have been another Muslim invasion of India.
The Brits did do good things like abolish sati and legalize widow re-marriage, but I’m talking about the negative impact in terms of de-islamization that they had on India
OLD GUY says
Islamophobia? Oh wait it was Muslim/islamics attacking Hindu’s. So that probably ok. Burn a koran and islam goes nuts, but it’s ok for islam to burn temples, churches and holly books of other religions. The old saying do unto others as they would do on to you might be the answer to islam. Burn the KORAN and their mosque is no different from what the do everyday somewhere in the world to other religions.
