Is India Headed for an Anti-Muslim Genocide?
Time ^ | 4 October 2021 | Debashish Roy Chowdhury

Posted on 10/04/2021 6:42:55 AM PDT by Cronos

...It was captured on a widely circulated video-- police raining baton blows on him even as he collapsed, taking turns with Bijoy Baniya, a Hindu photographer accompanying the police team. As Hoque’s life ebbs away, Baniya fiendishly jumps and stomps on his motionless body in an “act of performative depravity.”

Baniya is merely the latest face of India’s state-driven Hindu radicalization. In a country where 84% of the population is Hindu, and just 14% Muslim, Modi’s BJP party has achieved the astonishing feat of creating a deep sense of Hindu victimhood, stoking the othering of Muslims via disinformation, hate speech, opening old religious wounds, manipulating a servile media, silencing progressive voices, and empowering Hindu supremacist vigilante groups. “Hindu khatre mein hain” (Hindus are in danger) is a right-wing refrain that resonates deeply today.

...As a result, many Hindus have now been persuaded to believe that India’s biggest problem is its Muslims. Before Modi took over in 2014, most citizens thought their chief concerns were poverty, insufficient economic growth and corruption. He rode to power on the promise to fix all that. But as the economy has continued to worsen, and unemployment and poverty have risen under him, the BJP has increasingly fallen back on supremacist politics to deflect attention and evade responsibility. To keep winning elections, it needs to keep polarizing Hindu voters against Muslims, and spinning ever more outrageous campaigns to demonize Muslims.

Muslims apparently lust after Hindu women, procreating rapidly with the aim of overtaking the Hindu population and establishing an Islamic state, and necessitating new laws against “love jihad.” Similar regulations against religious conversions and the slaughter of cows, which are sacred to Hindus, have encouraged vigilantism. Muslim hawkers and workers have come under increasing attack from Hindu supremacist groups calling for a boycott of Muslim businesses.

In line with Biden’s stance on China’s aggression, I feel the Indian’s can govern their country any way they feel like.

You mean another one? India has had one of those every hundred years or so for the last thousand years, so its probably on schedule.

I think a three way nuke-off between China-India-Pakistan would be a good thing for the world.
Maybe we can pitch it as a “green initiative”?...

The Hindus don’t care. This is a form Nationalistic Hinduism. Simply not being Hindu is enough to provoke an attack.
There are ongoing attacks by these Hindus against Christians in India.

You said all are religious except one. Then you said they were Muslim in name only. I am confused.

Simple Rules of Engagement with Muslims -

If Infidels are present, Sunni with unite with Shi’a sects to enslave (physical, sex, monetary), convert, and annihilate all Infidels.

If no Infidels present, Sunni will turn against Shi’a until one or the other is enslaved or annihilated.

The rising population of Muslims over 1200 years shows the effectiveness of their tactics.

While there are Muslims who are good people, I could see a purge of Islam itself being a good thing.

Good people until you turn your back or an opportunity presents itself. Then you are just a kafir, fit only to be killed, robbed, raped (either sex) or all three. ME muslims are not the muslims down the street.

Islam cannot be ‘purged’ any attempt is a death sentence, and doing so would eliminate Mohammad, reducing Islam’s holy book to a few pages of the koran (virtual copies of pages from the Christian Bible and the Jewish Torah), instead of the five books of today.

India has over a billion people. 14% of them would be over 140 million. That would be some genocide, for sure. India has always had incidents of religious violence between Hindi and moslems, and that isn’t going to stop. Maybe the only thing noteworthy is the increase in Hindu nationalism and aggressiveness.

Where ever there are muslims, anticipate and expect problems if not violence. They are instructed not to assimilate or take infidels as genuine friends.

The nation of India has a very rich history of its own peoples, tribes , and indigenous religions. It does need the pasture dotted with the cow patties of mohammedanism.

Notice that they use the national demographics about a local story. Assam, where the attac took place, is 60% Hindu and 35% Muslim. They blame Modi but strife between Muslims and Hindus goes back decades in the area.

Ever notice that anywhere you have a large group of muslims that they victimize their neighbors into submission. Sooner of later the neighbors get tired of their muslim crap and take revenge. Anyone ever heard of the Balkans?

This was bound to happen, it was only a matter of time. Oh and btw, the muslims deserve every bit of it.

I used to watch an Indian news broadcast from time to time.

Almost every broadcast there was a story about some religious festival or another and how people of all religions were “coming together in peace and harmony.”

It was always that phrase. That told me that their peace and harmony was paper thin.
