Oh, the poor Muslims of India, suffering under so much persecution!
“Violent clashes erupt during Muharram procession in Bareilly, Varanasi, Islamists pelt stones, video viral,” OpIndia, August 10, 2022:
Violent clashes erupted on Tuesday as Islamists hurled stones in the fracas during Muharram processions in Bareilly and Varanasi districts leading to injuries to several people. The video of the incident went viral over social media where people can be seen using bricks and stones to attack during the Muharram procession.
According to the reports, some people of the Muslim community who had participated in the Muharram procession in Varanasi began to cut the huge Jamun tree in the Murzamurad area for the procession to pass easily. Later people from the nearby shops protested against the Islamists who were cutting the tree and said that there was enough space for the Tazia to pass. Amid the dispute, the shopkeeper Khaderu was beaten up and attacked with sticks. The Islamists also damaged his shop and injured five other people.
As the matter escalated, the Police including the DIG, Additional SP, and SP Rural were informed who immediately reached the spot and tried to pacify the matter, failing which a heavy police force was used to end the violence. Meanwhile, the people of the Hindu organization came to know about the incident and they reached the spot raising the slogans of Jai Shri Ram and Vande Mataram.
A similar incident was reported from Bareilly where amid the Muharram procession, the Islamists pelted stones at shops in the Majhoua Gangapur area of Bhojipura. The video of the incident went viral over social media in which even women of a particular community were seen pelting stones. Reports mention that stone pelting continued for about half an hour after which the Police reached the spot and tried to pacify the matter….

The only solution for this problem passed by in 1947. The “minority” Muslim population in India is about 15%, enough to cause trouble for any non-Muslim society.
France has about 8.8% Muslims which is expected to rise to as high as 15% by 2050. France can be our “canary” to observe the effects of Islam on Europe.

All true, Westman. The larger the Muslim population, the more aggressive and violent it becomes.

I was sickened watching the cruelty of the vandalism. With such large numbers of Muslims living close to Hindus, such violence is inevitable.
There are about 200 million Muslims in India (over 14% of the population) in 2021, India’s second largest religious community after Hindus. India has the world’s third-largest Muslim community after Indonesia and Pakistan, accounting for 10.9% of the world’s Muslim population.

India: Muslims throw stones at Hindu shops, beat Hindu shopkeeper during Islamic procession
……………………………………
Just disgusting. And check out this phrasing:
“Violent clashes erupted on Tuesday as Islamists hurled stones in the fracas during Muharram processions”
This sounds as if the “clashes” were mutual–but everything I have read is about Muslim violence against Hindus.
As for Muslims wanting to cut down a Jamun tree, this has considerable significance in India. Buddha was supposed have sat beneath a Jamun tree to meditate, and the tree is closely associated with the Hindu God Krishna.
So cutting down this tree had nothing to do with the procession not being able to pass by–this is Muslim supremacism.

This violence is under the normative Islamic rubric of ‘COMMANDING THE RIGHT and FORBIDDING THE WRONG’ They are forbidding what Islam’s sees as idolatry on the presumption that India is still an Islamic KHANATE as it was in the historical past.
Behind this violence there are mullahs egging them on to attack ‘idolatry’ in the streets.
Muslims are supposed attack such idolatrous processions ‘with their hands’ and destroy the idols if they are able. That is what Sharia law demands:
RELIANCE OF THE TRAVELLER (Sharia manual) Q5.6:
Fighting the Wrong By Hand
The fifth degree consists of changing the blameworthy thing with one’s hand, such as by breaking musical instruments, pouring out wine, or turning someone out of a house wrongfully appropriated.
There are two rules for this degree:
-1- not to do so when one can get the person to do it himself, i.e. if one can get someone to leave the land he has unjustly taken, one should not drag or push him from it;
-2- and to break the instruments, for example, just enough to obviate their being used for disobedience and no more, or to be careful not to break the bottles when pouring out wine. If one cannot manage except by throwing rocks at the bottles or the like, then one may do so and is not obliged to cover the damages.
If it be wondered whether one may break the bottles or drag someone by the foot out of a wrongfully appropriated house to create fear, as an object lesson to others, the answer is that this is for leaders alone and is not permissible for private individuals because of the obscurity of the decision-making criteria in the matter..

correction: what Islam’s CLERGY see as idolatry
peter says
You are exactly right . The muslims know how to touch an Hindu nerve. This is the mythical religion of peace all the politicians talk about.
Infidel says
When Hindu processions were being taken out this April, they were pelted w/ stones. Now, a muslim procession is taken out, and they are the ones pelting stones
In UP, these incidents are typically followed by bulldozer actions. This time, CM Yogi needs to order the demolition of all relevant mosques and madrassas in Varanasi (!) and Bareilly
