“Hindus in India set to build temple at razed mosque site.” The Associated Press blared this headline as millions of Hindus from several countries joined to celebrate the “Bhumipoojan” ceremony of their long-awaited temple: the Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir. Articles vilifying the “Hindu hardliners” and sympathizing with the “endangered” Muslims of India were published in numerous outlets of the liberal, secular, Muslim-pandering media.
None of those outlets reported on how the Hindus had waited for over 500 years, in their country, in their land, to gain the right lawfully to rebuild the Ram Mandir on the Janmasthan that was brought down centuries ago by a barbaric Muslim invader.
In 1529, the Tughlaq-styled Babri Masjid replaced the ancient shrine of the Ram Janmabhoomi on the banks of River Sarayu. This marked the beginning of the Hindus’ five-century-long struggle to reclaim their land. In 2020, the democratically elected Prime Minister of India laid the foundation stone of this historic and lawful reclamation.
The Ram Jamnabhoomi was not the first Hindu site to be attacked by Islamists. The practice of attacking and demolishing temples, the places where the Kaffir worships, has been a constant in Islamic history. India and its Hindu demography have suffered heavily for it as the list of temples plundered by such Islamist attackers is fairly lengthy.
The Somnath Temple, an ancient Hindu pilgrimage site on the western coast of India, is mentioned in texts that are 7000 years old. This ancient holy site was attacked and plundered over ten times by Islamic jihadis. Some records claim that the temple had suffered around 16 or 17 invasions. In 1024, the Turkic Muslim invader Mahmud of Ghazni raided the state of Gujrat and looted 20 million dinars from the rich Somnath Temple.
Barbaric Muslim rulers including Alauddin Khilji, Muzaffar Shah I, Mahmud Begada, and the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb took turns at looting whatever was left of the temple between the 1200s and 1600s.
The hate for the Kaffirs was so intense in their hearts that their expeditions didn’t stop at plundering the temple. Over 50,000 Hindu devotees were slaughtered in the process. The Jyotirlinga was crushed into rubble, which was taken to be spread across a mosque floor, so that Muslims could enjoy stepping on the pieces of an idol the Hindus had been praying to since antiquity.
The Somanath temple was not the only Hindu temple that attracted Aurangzeb’s ire. The sixth Mughal emperor assumed the responsibility of tearing the Kashi Vishwanath Temple asunder; he erected the present Gyanwapi Mosque atop the ruins of the original structure. The robust pillars of the ancient temples couldn’t be razed to the ground, and peep through the walls of the now centuries-old mosque even today.
After the multiple attacks on the Krishnajanmasthan Temple complex in Mathura by Islamist invaders, the same Mughal tyrant, Aurangzeb, had the Edgah mosque constructed exactly where the assembly hall and sanctum santorum of the temple, marking the birth of Hindu deity Shri Krishna, had once stood. The Alamgir Mosque of Varanasi, India, was built by Aurangzeb at the original site of the ancient Nand Madho temple, which was destroyed in 1682.
Fast-forwarding to the present day scenario: while the popular media reports on the discontinued internet facilities in Kashmir, they masterfully evade broaching the decades-long ethnic cleansing of the Hindus from the valley, which has brought Kashmir to this distressing condition. During the genocidal 1980s and 1990s, over 200 Hindu temples in the region were demolished by Islamic jihadists.
The hate of these jihadists is not limited to Hindu temples alone. In Pakistan, the Sikh Gurdwara Lal Khooni has been converted into a Muslim shrine, Haq Char Yaar. The Gurdwara was built by the fifth Sikh Guru, Guru Arjan Singh, and held special significance for the Sikh community.
After the Islamic conquest of Persia — Iran — numerous Zoroastrian Fire Temples across Bukhara, Istakhr, and other prominent Iranian cities were systematically converted into mosques. The foundation of the Jameh Mosque of Qazvin, one of the oldest mosques in Iran, was laid on a Parsi Fire temple. Ironically, the mosque is protected by Iran’s Cultural Heritage Organization. The Jameh Mosque of Isfahan, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with Heydarieh Mosque of Qazvin, Jameh Mosque of Kashan, and Jameh Mosque of Yazd share a similar history.
Built as a Christian Orthodox church, Hagia Sophia was converted into a mosque after the conquest of Constantinople in 1453. It was made a museum in 1935, but while the world was reeling under a deadly pandemic last year, Turkey decided to reopen Hagia Sophia as a mosque. The secular media looked over silently as the Muslims placed drapes over the icons of Mother Mary and the baby Jesus.
In these thousand years, the world may have undergone dramatic changes, but the jihadist legacy of destruction in 2021 remains just as barbaric as it was in 1024.

Good Account of Hindu temples and what happened to them
This intolerance , bigotry and hatred has a scriptural mandate from the words of Mohammed and his work the Koran itself.
Hindus in India must ,now they appear to have found their voice , continue to raise their voice and demand the return of their temple sites so disgracefully destroyed and erased by perfidious Islam
JOEYN says
I hope the other religious minorities wake up to the pattern of what is happening and has been happening for a long time all around the world and stand together with the Hindus on this matter.

As Nupur Sharma pointed out in one of her interviews in OpIndia, Hindus need to look at getting the preservation of religious places act repealed and reclaim other holy Hindu sites that were islamized over history: not just the mosques at Mathura and Varanasi, but other places throughout the country
In the case of this temple in Ayodhya, the Indian Supreme Court already awarded it to the Hindus, and right now, the planning and financing is on for that temple. Even the opposition parties have fallen in line since the Supreme Court has ruled, and are now looking at ‘soft-Hindutva’ alternatives to try appealing to Hindu voters. Maybe the media could move on to other anti-BJP issues
Boycott Turkey says
It’s only right to reclaim what was stolen and rebuild the Hindu temples that where destroyed those places never belonged to Muslims in the first place there ancestors stole the temples and turned them to mosque by force if they had any decency they would return those stolen places of worship and apologise for stealing them in the first place and pay compensation to Hindus but they have no morals they feel they are superior and have the right to steal from kaffirs because it’s what Islam teaches the media also sounds very anti Hindu and it’s also justifying genocide and theft

What has happened to Kashmiri Hindus could happen to other Hindus.Wake the fuck up 1.2. billion Hindus.For example, if one has to preserve say, the temple culture, there has to be a temple in the first place. Ancient Greece and Rome and Egypt had temples. There is a lot to learn from them. A few of them still exist as ruins. But where is that living culture that knows how to revive them? In other words, where are the people? And continue to stay vigilantly awake. This is not a warning. It is the truth. Replace “Romans” with “Hindus.” The rest of the scenario remains the same. Its just roman civilization is long dead now.The divine Dharmic / Vedic vigor of Bharat cant be effed as happened with romans and now is the time to reclaim whats righteously yours….
Prioritizing the opening and rebuilding them temples is clearly 1 on checklist followed by settlement of Hindus on mass scale. As the civilisational problem in Kashmir is of Hindu Astitva and Asmita , which are not mere words but lived cultural and civilisational experiences. They are…us ..our inheritance. Temples are torchbearers of DHARMA. The point is if we cannot do something as fundamental as Puja – Sanskrit worship, we are destroyed. With the destruction or loss of territory, we also lose people…or to put it in a different way, we lose our own cultural memory. The erasure of history is a crime against memory.
Similarly , Kashmir problem is jihad problem not development problem. Abrogation of 370 was a great step.But Only long run effective solution is get Hindus settled there asap. Total Hindu Majority and rebuild temples. Nothing else. Once Hindus settle , then development automatically follows. Recently a temple was opened there after 31 years. Things are now on right track.
Also to note is that world’s greatest centres of Sanskrit and temples was kashmir. It was home to several dozen generations of Sanskrit linguists, grammarians, poets, dramatists, and aestheticians…it had also attained a high degree of excellence in philosophy to the extent that there is a separate school of Shaivism- kashmiri. Shaivism is being preserved everywhere else but its original home. This is being corrected. And the Sharada Peetha which stood as an iconic cultural, spiritual and philosophical centre for more than six hundred years is today abandoned. Need to reclaim it as well. So What we call as the Kashmir “problem” is a polite way of describing a civilisational threat. It is a festering wound created by that half dyk bastard literal whorechild of terrible proportion and the biggest npc to exist in the history of subcontinent – nehru and gandhi, Gandhi was a fucking cuck of high order as well. They are all butthurt about as how with Modi , the rw has come in a big tent now. There is tremendous rise of Hindu Consciousness and Hindu ecosystem to choke the shit out of jihadis, leftards and globalists and correct the historical blunders.

Mohammadeans have destroyed more than 60,000 temples in India. Their goal has been to wipe out all Hindus who have been around for 15,000 years. Mohammadeans were able to wipe out Zarathrustrians in Iran and they think they can do the same with India. However, most Hindus would rather die than follow disgusting Koran and the dumb Meccan Prophet. It is important for the Government of India to outlaw islam and terminate generous salaries paid to the islamic clerics. A full population exchange of moslems with Bangladesh/Pakistan would be imperative for a peaceful future and stability. However, if all civilized countries join in in banning islam, this would be a lot easier. The media in India is bought my islamic money and they are incapable of telling the truth. Only two news networks are patriotic: (1) Republic TV and (2) Sundarshan News. Mohammadeans are murdering Hindus daily, invading their homes, kidnapping Hindu girls, and targeting places of worship. The Hindu temples are heavily taxed and money is used to pay islamic cleric’s salary. The mosques are not taxed at all. The entire system is rigged in favor of mohammadeans who are the least productive members of society. Civilized nations should not allow moslem diplomats from India in their countries despite their position, because in the end, their mindset is of a terrorist. Banning islam completely is the only solution for the survival of humanity.

Media Blames Hindus for Rebuilding Temple Muslims Demolished and Replaced with a Mosque
……………..
Just disgusting.
Muslims regularly destroy other’s places of worship and replace them with Mosques–or else just seize them and turn them into Mosques.
mortimer says
An excellent article by Krishna Priya. Indeed, the first ancient temple to be changed to a mosque was the Ka’aba. When Muslims conquered Syria, they changed the principle church (St. John the Baptist of Damascus) in 709AD into a huge mosque. It still stands facing Petra, rather than Mecca.
This is not essential according to any doctrine of Islam, but it is similar to a dog marking its territory to declare it off-limits to other would-be alpha dogs.
skai says
Mainstream media is all for Muslim propaganda ,I’m glad we have media like Jihad Watch.
Aastra says
MSM is a mouth piece of islamic propaganda. what makes it worse is the academia too are same. so first we need to kick them out of academia or close such academia. otherwise peacefuls will easily win the war.
Hadrian says
Of course it does. This religion is the epitome of bigotry, fanaticism and xenophobia. Every time they come to the west and rape our women and children. We have Hindus coming in too, from a third world country. Yet, even after the ongoing Hindutva nonsense, we aren’t seeing them destroying western culture. They assimilate and live with us peacefully. Its these Islamists who they have a bone to pick with… and rightfully so. Everywhere the so called religion of peace goes, chaos erupts. And mainstream media plays as their mouthpiece.
