Pak Priest Sacrifices 3 Daughters Omer Farooq Khan Mar 24, 2010 ISLAMABAD: A Hindu priest committed suicide after killing his three minor daughters, all under 6-year-old, to please Hindu goddess Kali Mata in Bhemomal area of Sind province on Tuesday.
According to police and eyewitnesses, religious rituals were regularly performed at the Kali Mata Temple established on the first floor of a house owned by Tekam Das Meghwar in Bhemomal. Reports say that Tekam Das Meghwar first slaughtered his three daughters, Parwati, 6-year-old, Reena, 4, and Aarti, 1, with a sharp knife and then slit his own throat to make Kali Mata happy.
Moulchand, brother of deceased Tekam Das Meghwar said, “My deceased brother was Hindu priest of Kali Mata and he performed pooja the whole night but in the early morning when power supply failed he slaughtered his three daughters before committing suicide with a sharp weapon.”
SHO Taluka police Rasool Bux Thaheem told media that after post mortem the bodies of the three sisters and their father were handed over to their heirs.
Initial police investigation suggested that Tekam Das Meghwar, early on Tuesday morning, entered the residential portion of the house, asking his wife, Pavi, to bring milk from a nearby shop. Investigators believe that taking advantage of solitary Tekam Das slit throats of his three daughters.
The ill-fated mother told police that "when I returned home, I saw heads of three girls in a cradle placed in room. Body of Tekam Das also lay in a pool of blood with his throat slit." She started screaming on which neighbours rushed to the house.
Another Hindu priest Bhagat Ashok told media that act of Tekam Das was foolish and it was illegal to offer sacrifice of even animals in Hindu religion. The incident spread panic in the town of Mirwah Gorchani as hundreds of people gathered at the spot.
Out leftists are heading that way too.
You’ve at least got to hand it to them that when they decided to kill, it appears they just take their own family.
Muslims could learn something from them.
Hey - this is the behavior of a mentally sick man. Such murder/suicides happen here in this country, too, even among Christians. The fact the family is Hindu is besides the fact.
There is a big difference between Judeo-Christian culture and all the other religious cultures. Thank God for providing the guidance to allow us to avoid this pattern.
progressives?

Uh, no.
Kali is the God of Death.
Mata means “death” -—— from the Sanskrit,
For example: like saying check mate, in chess, (which comes from India), where “Mate” is an altered pronunciation of Mata meaning death (of your chess king)
So Kali or Kahli Mata is the God of Death to whom he was giving his daughters’ heads and himself, to make Kali happy.
Very un-Christian I would say.
“My deceased brother was Hindu priest of Kali Mata"
Kill for the love of Kali.
What modern Christians never seem to understand is the fact that Christianity releases people from fear. That’s what St Patrick did when he evangelized Ireland (set the people free from the druid priest-kings and their idols and spells), and that’s what Christians should be doing in Africa (and India) too.
“Social justice” means nothing when people are so scared of the demons and dark forces that they will sacrifice themselves and their own children to them.
This is the type of thing that God was referring to when He got angry at his people (Old Testament) for causing their children to “pass through fire”. That was how Baal worshipers sacrificed their children.
Absolutely correct. A devout Christian, motivated by true faith could never perform such atrocities. A fervent commitment to the Hindu faith, or, for that matter, the faith of Islam results in acts considered barbaric by Christians and Jews. Among them are murder, suicide, mutilation and terrorism. Any attempt to equate Christianity with barbarism is unenlightened.
You "conveniently" left this part out:
"Another Hindu priest Bhagat Ashok told media that act of Tekam Das was foolish and it was illegal to offer sacrifice of even animals in the Hindu religion. The incident spread panic in the town of Mirwah Gorchani as hundreds of people gathered at the spot."
What's next, a discussion on paedophile Catholic priests? Or a justification for the ritual mass slaughter of children and infants a la 1 Samuel 15: 2-3?
Uh, yes.
"Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy everything that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.'"
- 1 Samuel 15: 2-3.
A precedent is all that's needed for future justification, when it comes to nuts.
Hinduism has gods of creation and destruction. And Hindus can be violent, but mostly in reaction to the centuries of violence that they have experienced from Muslim invaders.
The Hindus in India also sometimes persecute and kill Christians and destroy their churches. Again, I think this is partly the result of persecution by Muslims. But, unlike Buddhism, Hinduism can be violent.
The big plus is that its violence seems to be restricted to India. They don’t go out conquering and killing in other countries, the way the Muslims do.
Christianity, more than anything else, set the poor free from their fears.
It also gave the final interpretation to what Christians refer to as the Old Testament, the Jewish Scriptures, and removed the literal nature of the commands to kill one's enemy and one's enemies children (which had actually already been interpreted allegorically for many years by the time of the arrival of Christ). Jews stopped practicing even animal sacrifice with the fall of the Temple a few decades after the death of Christ.

So, the children were not ordered to be slaughtered, per 1 Samuel 15: 2-3?
Perhaps someone should look into rewriting the book, in that case.
Both Hindus and Muslims go after Christians because they want easy prey who are unlikely to respond with extreme violence of their own.
Actually, NLTF rebels in India’s north-east, have been waging a campaign of violence, on their own:
“The NLFT has warned members of the tribal community that they may be attacked if they do not accept its Christian agenda.”
