Before preaching, Obama should stop ‘atrocities on blacks’, VHP says

[pursuit of happiness]

NEW DELHI: Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) on Friday launched a sharp attack against US President Barack Obama, saying he should not "preach" India on religious tolerance and instead take care of his country which was still witnessing "atrocities" against blacks.

Talking to reporters, VHP joint general secretary Surendra Jain alleged that Obama's comments came after "meeting certain people planted by the Church to help the activities of missionaries".

He also demanded that the government should disclose the names of such people on whom there is suspicion that they have been "planted by the Church" in politics.

The VHP leader said before "preaching" India, Obama should look in his own backyard in the US and even if he wants to preach, he should do so to "Christian missionaries who with the help of America are not only doing religious conversions, but one of its sections is also also involved in anti-national activities".

Jain added, "He (Obama) is himself black. Despite that, he has not been able to stop the atrocities being committed on blacks."

The VHP leader's remarks came after the US president said in Washington that the "acts of intolerance" experienced by religious faiths of all types in India in the past few years would have shocked Mahatma Gandhi.

During his visit to India last week also, Obama had made a strong pitch for religious tolerance, cautioning that India will succeed so long as it was not "splintered along the lines of religious faith".

Noting that all religions have got equal rights in India, Jain said the Prime Minister does not take oath from any saint or bishop in India as was done in US. "The rule is equal for all religions and India's tradition has been to absorb everybody and not to exploit," he said.

Pegida - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Again, how are peaceful protests worse than thousands of dead innocent people? How is that worse than seeing a charred body of a child?!

violence is condemned by everyone, no one is justifying it and no one is saying that it is their democratic right. It's something in which uneducated brainwashed idiots participates and they don't represents mainstream Indians. However, people who took part in anti islamic rally represents the mainstream of germany, there were doctors who were holding the banners "ban Islam" that represent the true intolerance not the fake one you are trying to prove here.

yet another genius announcement from the sanghis... but i must point out two complexities...

1. the vhp and the rest of the sangh parivar first speak of usa ( and israel ) being "natural allies of india" and now they heap insult on obama who is the head of the same usa government.

2. if vhp ( and the sanghis ) is so anxious to champion the blacks of usa, it can start working with two black revolutionary/activist groups of the black people - the "nation of islam" and any remnants of the "black panthers".

Really? Just look at this forum, there are enough idiots who say that the Gujarat riots were "payback" for the burning of Hindu pilgrims in the railway incident.

It's something in which uneducated brainwashed idiots participates and they don't represents mainstream Indians.

No they dont. But the frequency of these acts and the degree of violence are frightening.

However, people who took part in anti islamic rally represents the mainstream of germany, there were doctors who were holding the banners "ban Islam" that represent the true intolerance not the fake one you are trying to prove here.

Saying that Germans are intolerant is plain wrong... both from personal experience as well as any statistical data (number of hate related crimes for examples).

Pegida has been an immensely complicated topic. Of course you will find idiots among a gathering of thousands of people. But most of them were there to show discontent with mainstream politics and showed their concerns about retards like self proclaimed sharia "police" units stopping people from doing immoral acts.

Again, read the key aspects of them.
