President Trump calls Indian PM Modi to congratulate him on the latest electoral victory. Video at link (1:52)

Mainstream media is reeling following the victory for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu-Right BJP party in nationwide state elections, with leading liberal newspapers and news outlets raising the cry of ‘Islamophobia’ in India.

The UK’s left-wing newspaper The Guardian called the Hindu-Right electoral gains in the biggest Indian state of Uttar Pradesh (UP), which has a population of 220 million, “a victory for anti-Muslim bigotry”. Aiming its criticism of the man elected to run the state — a 44 year-old Hindu Monk — Yogi Adityanath, The Guardian complained that “[Adityanath] backs a Donald Trump-style travel ban to stop “terrorists” coming to India.”

According to Indian media reports, President Donald Trump called Prime Minister Modi today to congratulate him on his electoral success.

The left-wing news website Vox was equally critical of UP state’s newly elected Chief Minister Adityanath, writing that “he publicly supported President Donald Trump’s ban on refugees and immigrants from seven Muslim-majority nations, stating, “Similar action is needed to contain terror activities in this country.””

The Washington Post profiled the monk-turned-politician, Adityanath, with a story titled “Meet the militant monk spreading Islamophobia in India”. The Washington Post held India’s PM Modi responsible for the rising Islamophobia:

[Latest election results] points at rising Islamophobia in India, aided and abetted by the far right and the elephant in the room ever since the unexpected win of Narendra Modi in the 2014 national elections. Adityanath’s anointment as the chief minister of a state that has been a hotbed of communal tension for more than two decades suggests that this Islamophobia is taking deeper roots.

Has the “media” forgotten the Muslim attack on Bombay?

A phobia is an irrational fear.

It’s not irrational to fear someone who shows a propensity to chop your head off.

Nor is it irrational to want to keep them out of your country.

I am a little confused, I would have thought the Muslims would have all migrated to Pakistan.

From Wikipedia:

Pakistan is unique among Muslim countries as it is the only country to have been created in the name of Islam. As a result of the Pakistan Movement led by Muhammad Ali Jinnah and the subcontinent's struggle for independence, Pakistan was created in 1947 as an independent nation for Muslims from the regions in the east and west of the Subcontinent where there was a Muslim majority.

That no one even knows about, much less talks about. Islam has exterminated entire civilizations. Of the known 1500 or so distinct civilizational entities extant just before the onslaught of Islam, NONE remain today. All utterly destroyed by Islamic savages.

Muslims are not permitted to give up any Muslim land.

The media needs to invite Muslims to their homes...For a years..If they survive, then the Muslims are nice, but if they - and their family - get beheaded, they (the media) will write that they made them mad...

The Muslim Brotherhood just burned 40 Christian churches to the ground in Egypt, yet no one out there in liberal scumbag media world is crying for them. They won’t cover that horrendous attack of Christians by Muslims, becaue it runs counter to their Islamiphobia narrative.

When the refugee boats were coming from North Africa to Italy, very few news outlets covered that the bully Muslims were throwing the outnumbered Christians overboard as their boats drifted to Italy.
