Noakhali is the site of the infamous 1946 jihad massacres. ISKCON is the International Society of Krishna Consciousness.
“Bangladesh: ISKCON temple vandalised, 1 killed in fresh violence in Noakhali,” Mint, October 16, 2021:
A mob allegedly attacked an ISKCON temple in Bangladesh’s Noakhali district on Friday and according to the community, one of its members was killed.
“It is with great grief that we share the news of an ISKCON member, Partha Das, who was brutally killed yesterday by a mob of over 200 people. His body was found in a pond next to the temple. We call on the Govt of Bangladesh for immediate action in this regard,” the official Twitter handle of the ISKCON community said.
ISKCON in a further tweet said, “ISKCON temple & devotees were violently attacked today by a mob in Noakhali, Bangladesh. Temple suffered significant damage & the condition of a devotee remains critical. We call on the Govt of Bangladesh to ensure the safety of all Hindus & bring the perpetrators to justice.”…
The alleged attack on the temple took place despite assurances by Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina of strict action after incidents of communal violence that those who attacked Hindu temples will be hunted down and punished.
Following the reports of the attacks on Hindu temples, the Bangladesh government has beefed up security to facilitate Durga Puja celebrations in the country. The security situation has also prompted the authorities to deploy paramilitary forces and contingents of police across the country.
Local media said that the situation remained grim in Chandpur, Cox’s Bazar, Bandarban, Sylhet, Chittagong and Gazipur after attacks and clashes. The Bangladesh government has assured the country’s Hindu community of improved security and said that Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) troopers were deployed in 22 districts to maintain security….

What is new about it? Muslims are habituated to act as brutal vandals.

It’s called locking the barn after the horse has bolted. Wednesday was supposed to be the peak celebrations, and that was when most of the idols were damaged and desecrated. Yesterday was supposed to be the immersion of the idols in rivers or other water bodies, but it didn’t come to that. This year was the worst Durga Puja ever for Bangladesh Hindus, and only after the festival is over does the government crack down?
Since the UN and other world bodies won’t do a thing to Bangladesh b’cos they’re a bunch of muzzie people of color, we should all consciously boycott anything made in that country. I already do that particularly when I shop for clothes: if I see it made in a muslim country, such as Bangladesh, Indonesia, Egypt, Pakistan, et al, I keep looking
Many of you probably do that already, but I urge everyone to boycott Bangladesh totally, just like some may have done South Africa in the 80s
Infidel says
In her complete statement, she said that although people of Bangladesh belong to different religions, the festivals belong to everyone
F? that! Hindus are not interested in celebrating Eid, Ramadan or any of the other muslim celebrations, and mohammedans need to stop participating in any of the pujas – Durga puja, Lakshmi puja, Saraswati puja, Diwali, Shivratri, et al. In any case, it’s against shariah for muslims to celebrate other festivals, so might as well enforce that, so that you don’t have incidents like the ones this week

it is amazingly difficult to find clothing, furniture, or even food that does not come from outside the US. when U do find it, it costs more than the foreign-supplied material, because americans are paid more than the people our vendors pay instead of americans. most amazing of all is that companies look no further than the next quarter’s returns. what do they think will happen to their market share as the number of employed americans diminishes? eventually, when the left forces us all onto the government teat, living in government slums and eating the castoff food from government elites, there won’t be enough money in ANYBODY’S pocket to buy ANYTHING that isn’t essential to life, and they’ll have to move out of the US completely.
although i encourage everybody to buy american as often as possible, i also recognize that not all can afford to do so. furthermore, there are sometimes american companies that have gone woke (gillette, woka-cola, NFL, MLB, etc.) and have not apologized for their slander of americans, that do not deserve commercial support from americans. again, sometimes one must buy what one can afford; commercial support is not necessarily indicative of political approval. i have encouraged others in this position to support the least-monstrous of vendors by buying their products, and at the same time, writing to their consumer relations departments letting them know that barring retreat to political neutrality, U will find another vendor to replace them as soon as possible, and explain that U will do so because they hate U, and U do not wish to support evil organizations whenever it is possible to find another vendor.
there are some websites which list woke companies and what slanders they are making (e.g., http://cancelthiscompany.com/) which can help U in your quest to avoid fascist vendors. i’m not a big proponent of boycotts, but none of us started this; THEY did. let’s finish it by supporting as many american companies as we can that want *EVERYBODY’S* money, not just woke money.

I don’t usually expect to find ‘Made in USA’ apparel, but if I do, I strongly consider it. However, I have a lot of clothes that are made in Vietnam, Guatemala and Haiti, but I strictly avoid the ones made in muslim countries, such as Bangladesh and Indonesia. There have been times that I ended up w/ that, and in those cases, I’ve donated the clothes if I couldn’t return them

b.a. and Infidel, I’m like you. I buy American when I can, but this is often impossible, especially with mainstream goods. I at least try to avoid Muslim countries.
