An unshakeable and unique sense of supremacy combined with aggrieved victimhood.
“Uttar Pradesh: Muslim mob attacks 2 men for playing Holi near a mosque in Bareilly, blocks highway and targets police led by SP MLA Ataurrehman,” OpIndia, March 19, 2022:
On Friday, the festival of Holi in Uttar Pradesh’s Bareilly district turned violent as the people from the Muslim community attacked two persons who were playing with the colors in the areas surrounding a mosque. The people from the community in Behari claimed that the two had allegedly thrown colors at the mosque in the city. The youths were allegedly dragged by the mob and were kicked, beaten with sticks while they were on their bike, heading home after playing Holi. The youths somehow saved their lives.
Himanshu Patel, Bareilly chief of the ‘Rashtriya Yogi Sena’ tweeted the video to Bareilly Police and said, “Muslim people surrounded and attacked two bike-riding Hindu brothers passing through the road, badly hit them. Police must take cognizance of the matter and take action against the culprits”
According to the reports, the Police arrived at the spot and tried to pacify the matter, but to no avail. Tensions aroused as more people from the Muslim community joined the argument and blocked the streets. The video of the incident went viral over social media where people from the community can be seen pelting stones and disrupting the law and order of the city. The Police, further trying to control the situation carried out a baton charge and dispersed the crowd.
The violent crowd then moved to the Nanital Highway and tried to block it. They also protested as they demanded immediate arrest of the persons who had allegedly thrown color at the mosque. The Samajwadi Party MLA Ataurrehman accompanied the crowd and demanded an FIR against those who threw colour at the mosque.
As reported by Prabhat Khabar, the SP MLA informed the SSP Bareilly about the matter and asked him to look into the complaint filed by Abdul Wahid, the caretaker of the mosque. Wahid in his complaint mentioned that he had already ordered the boys to avoid playing Holi in the areas around the mosque. The Bareilly Police then, based on the complaint registered an FIR against Rahul Gupta, Suresh Gangwar, and 40-50 unidentified persons for allegedly inciting the communal tensions on the occasion of the festival of Holi.
According to the SP Rajkumar Agrawal, the crowd had also misbehaved with the Police. “The crowd was becoming violent. They were protesting against the persons who threw color at the mosque. Some of them even attacked the Police while they were trying to pacify the matter. Then we had to carry out lathi charge”, he confirmed to ABP news….

There often seems to be an unwritten rule followed by Muslim supremacists: never miss an excuse to advance Islamic supremacism. We see this trend over and over in Islamic history. Some small perceived slight will be the excuse for riots, looting, rapes and killings against the DIRTY KUFAAR.
The main motivation for the uproar here is straight from the DHIMMI CONTRACT of OMAR which is the default position of supremacist Islam … namely, that KAFIRS should not practice rites of their faith IN PUBLIC where Muslims may see them and be tempted to doubt the veracity of Islam. Muslims hate other religions, because the Koran tells them to hate and discriminatory Sharia law tells them to discriminate.

Spot on, Mortimer.

Here we go, the Islamic supremacism in action. All the infidels must revere the Muslims and their sensibilities. The opposite of that is not remotely perceivable. Despite historical precedence of ugly behavior by the Islamists against the vanquished infidels or other vulnerable infidels, the idiots from Left and other mainline churches appease the terrorists with so-called dialogues and other fancy meetings(with the thugs of islam)

Reading this story, and learning some relevant history of that storied land, I wholly understand (and applaud) that which drives the popularity of Mr. Modi and the BJP: the human instinctual drive toward embracing cultural survival in the face of unrelenting genocidal Islamism.

I can’t remember the name of the mudslime who said that “there is no fun in Islam”.
This pathetic incident just proves that mentality.
Nobody can be seen throwing small coloured balls of dust around, that’s too much like fun. Lets beat the crap out of them and then demand the victims be arrested because they made us beat them!
Ain’t Islam amazing!

That was the vicious Ayatollah Khomeini, Keith.
I compare this to the first time I ever heard of Holi, in a story by a Christian charity worker in India I read when I was a young child in the 1960s (I think it was in Reader’s Digest). She was in her office when she heard the happy crowd come down the street, and a couple of Indian Hindu employees at the charity came running in laughing and urged her to come out into the street with them.
She had a brief pang, wondering if the holiday was in some way un-Christian, but she saw the happy faces of her co-workers and the crowd, and decided that something so joyous couldn’t be anything bad. She had a grand time with her neighbors tossing colors.
Note that she briefly considered sitting out the celebration; she *never* considered harming any of the celebrants.
Compare and contrast.

Know what you mean GI, Heard about it when we were at Butterworth air base in Malaysia.
The sight of 60 plus Aussie diggers covered from head to toe in any colour you can name and laughing like Hyena’s will stay with me forever.
Go on, have a go, you know you want the inner kid to get in there tossing colour bombs! 🙂

India: Muslim mob kicks and beats Hindus for playing Holi near a mosque, then reports them to police
…………
One might wonder why these Muslims world report this–but it is because in Muslim lands like neighboring Pakistan it is the Infidel *victims* who are arrested and charged.
Clearly Muslims in India are hoping for the same thing.
