Muslim Mobs Attack Hindus, Set Homes and Temples on Fire in Bangladesh
The Indian Express: “Significant number of Hindus have attempted to flee to India this week amid a wave of violence targeting their communities.”
Angry Muslim mobs attacked Hindu and Christian minorities across Bangladesh days after anti-government protests forced the country’s prime minister out of office.
“The Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council said that 45 out of 64 districts in the country had seen the targeting of mostly Hindu homes, businesses or temples this week. A school teacher had been killed and 45 other people hurt, it said,” Reuters reported Thursday.
Persecuted Hindus were trying to flee to neighbouring India. “Early on Thursday, about 300 Bangladeshis had assembled at a border point near India’s Jalpaiguri district but dispersed later. Indian media showed Indian border troops around a group of people there,” the news agency noted.
The anti-Hindu rioting started after countries Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s government was brought down by nationwide protests organized by Pakistan-linked Jama’at-i Islami and allied parties.

Hindus comprise around 8 percent of Bangladesh’s 170 million mostly Muslim population. The country is also home to a tiny Christian and Buddhist population.
“Hundreds of Hindu houses, businesses, and temples have been vandalized following the ouster” of the country’s elected government earlier this week, India’s state-run Doordarshan TV reported Thursday.
There is also a social media report of a Muslim mob desecrating a church.
In Bangladesh, attacks are not limited to Hindu temples but are occurring against churches too.

Christians, who make up less than one percent of the population, are repeatedly singled out for attack, Fox News noted Wednesday:
The organization Open Doors, which tracks discrimination of Christians worldwide, ranked Bangladesh as having “very high” persecution levels, claiming that “converts to Christianity face the most severe restrictions, discrimination and attacks.”
“Religious beliefs are tied to the identity of the community, so turning from the locally dominant faith to following Jesus can result in accusations of betrayal,” the group wrote on its website. “Bangladeshi converts often gather in small house churches due to the risk of attack.”
Muslim gangs reportedly attacked and raped Hindu women, Indian media coverage suggests. The New Delhi-based news website OpIndia reported that “several Hindu women in Bangladesh have come forward to share their tales of horror at the hands of the rampaging Islamist mob.”
“In a video shared by Hindu Voice on August 8, several Hindu women living in different areas of the Pirojpur district in Bangladesh can be heard narrating their plight,” the news outlet added, sharing a Twitter clip with testimonies in the local language.
Look at last night in Bangladesh, a Hindu family's house was surrounded by people from Jamaat-e-Islami and BNP.
They are breaking the door of the house, Hindu women inside are crying and screaming.

The unfolding Islamist pogrom is forcing Hindus to flee the Muslim-majority country. “In Bangladesh, a significant number of Hindus have attempted to flee to India this week amid a wave of violence targeting their communities,” the Indian Express newspaper reported Thursday.
In 2019, India amended its citizenship law aimed at easing the path to naturalization for Hindus, Sikhs, and Christians fleeing Muslim persecution in neighbouring Islamic countries. The law excluded Muslim migrants, a move that triggered violent Islamic protests across India.

Reemergence of Jama’at-i Islami in Bangladesh poses threat to the U.S., Europe
The re-emergence of Jama’at-i Islami in Bangladesh poses a serious threat to the West, which has imported millions of migrants in recent years from Muslim countries. Jama’at-i Islami, which originated in Pakistan and India, has allied itself with Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated groups in the U.S. and Europe.
“European organizations with roots in the Muslim Brotherhood and the Jama’at-i Islami have begun working more closely with European governments,” Pew noted in a 2010 report. “This has been particularly true since the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the U.S., as European officials have sought to reach out to their Muslim communities.”

“Persecuted Hindus were trying to feel to neighbouring India.”
Whaa? Please correct. (Not the first typo I’ve seen today on LI, but the most egregious.)
Thank you noticing. Corrected.
A polite note to [email protected] is an appropriate response.
Islam, the religion of peace
Mostly peaceful.
Other videos show less than half of the buildings in that area were set on fire. This is proof of your statement that these protests were mostly peaceful.
Well. Lookey here. Islam is a cancer in the East.
Heh. It’s a cancer everywhere.
And… here we go.
As identified in a couple of places, this was the inevitable result of the political problems there.
But, not a single progressive will learn from this how the concept of “Can’t we all just get along” barely exists in other cultures. This is what “COEXIST” gets you when human nature (sin) holds sway.
Multiculturalism at its finest
Also, this is what happens when you don’t have the proper means to fight back. Or when you just don’t bother.
As soon as they feel unrestrained by authorities they go on the warpath, this is the future of europe.
Partition of India, Phase III, maybe IV.

lefty:
mus lims dont cause violence
ar -15s do
Hmm, could it possibly be that there is something intrinsic to the tenets of the supremacist, totalitarian, belligerent and hate-filled ideology of “Submission,” that causes so many of its most fervent adherents to engage in genocidal attacks against Jews, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists and other non-Muslims?
Waiting for the leftist, Dhimmi-crat media shills to tackle that question, instead of perennially fallaciously casting Muslims as allegedly oppressed and aggrieved victims.
dont hold your breath
Thank you! This needs to continually be repeated. It’s not just a religion but a vile overarching, violent supremacist ideology..
India has a far larger military than Bangladesh. At the very least, India should be rattling its sabres, and be ready to move in if the persecution does not stop.
Also, you know how they say, “First the Saturday people, then the Sunday People?”.
Well, Bangladesh has never really had any Jews, so they went directly to the Sunday people.
But just to balance things out, every couple of weeks Jeopardy has a question about the Muslims being persecuted by Buddhists in Myanmar.
Unless Moslem world leaders – such as even the Saudi crown prince – quickly and vigorously and repeatedly denounce these atrocities, Western Civilization will have to finally declare Islam itself as an enemy ideology,
I would welcome if India sent its armed forces into this SH and cleaned it.
Ah, yes, the religion of peace in all its glory. So let’s just keep letting more of them into the West. What could go wrong?
The religion of peace strikes again… Hindus, Jews, Christians, Druze, Zoroastrianists, Buddists and even Atheists can all seem to coexist – However, there always seems to be just one outlier religious sect that has zero tolerance for all others. It’s like it’s embedded its teachings… maybe because it was spread by the sword from its founding?
