Divine intervention? Indian Hindus ask gods to help Trump

NEW DELHI (AP) — Donald Trump may find it tough to get Republican leaders behind his campaign, but he's got some faraway fans trying to get the gods on his side.

"The whole world is screaming against Islamic terrorism, and even India is not safe from it," said Vishnu Gupta, founder of the Hindu Sena nationalist group. "Only Donald Trump can save humanity."

Members of the group gathered on a blanket spread out in a New Delhi protest park along with a collection of statues depicting gods including Shiva and Hanuman — as well as photos of a smiling Trump.

Above them hung a banner declaring support for Trump "because he is hope for humanity against Islamic terror."

The group chanted Sanskrit prayers asking the gods to favor Trump in the election, and threw offerings such as seeds, grass and ghee — or clarified butter — into a small ritual fire

The Hindus are correct — only the USA can end the threat of Islam and only the USA under Trump.

Why not? Obama carries a small idol of the Hindu god Hanuman in his pocket,

India is not safe at all. In fact, the Mughal Invasion of South Asia is considered by some to be the bloodiest conquest in all of world history.

Hindus know first hand the evil of Islam:

"Muslim historian Firishta [full name Muhammad Qasim Hindu Shah, born in 1560 and died in 1620], the author of the Tarikh-i Firishta and the Gulshan-i Ibrahim, was the first to give an idea to the medieval bloodbath that was India during Muslim rule, when he declared that over 400 million Hindus got slaughtered during Muslim invasion and occupation of India. Survivors got enslaved and castrated. India’s population is said to have been around 600 million at the time of Muslim invasion. By the mid 1500’s the Hindu population was 200 million." https://themuslimissue.wordpress.com/2015/08/31/islamic-invasion-of-india-the-greatest-genocide-in-history/

LOL! They picked the correct god!

Shiva is the “Destroyer.” This is a good thing - as the Destroyer is the one who takes mankind’s miscreation and destroys it so that the godly (good) creation can replace it.
Go SHIVA!!!!

SHIVA FOR TRUMP!!!

Hindus have gotten it in the neck from Islamic fanatics for a thousand years. They Islamic radicals hate them more than they hate Christians and Jews—calling them Idol Worshipers who must be converted or killed.

I have Lord Ganesha (patron of writers) on my desk. Since I live in an area that has a huge amount of Hindus (Diwali is bigger than Christmas here), I can only hope they’ll be going to the polls and voting for Trump.

"Only Donald Trump can save humanity."

If Trump is our only hope, then we have no hope...

They do have some interesting idols! I collect them - I just bought a liitle statuette of Shiva dancing in the fire. The trappings of Hinduism are quite beautiful. I know almost nothing about the faith.

This must be a misunderstanding.

These people must be racist if they hate the religion of pieces and there’s no way that non white, non Christian people can be racist.

Respectfully, I urge you to replace that with a portrait of Saint Francis de Sales

I’m surprised it was even reported by AP. Doesn’t fit in with the white racist image.
