Abu Dhabi: An Indian manager in Abu Dhabi is in trouble for demeaning Islam on social media and hurting the religious sentiments of Muslims.

Mitesh. a financial manager at an Abu Dhabi-based firm, could face legal action over his Islamophobic Facebook post which uses graphic images to show how a “jihadi coronavirus suicide spitter” (sic) could “cause 2,000 deaths compared to 20 by a jihadi bomber detonating a belt rigged with explosives”.

The post is a malicious reference to videos falsely claiming to show members of a Muslim missionary group in India spitting on police.

Mitesh’s post has sparked outrage on social media with many demanding his immediate dismissal and arrest.

Shortly after Gulf News brought the post to the attention of his employer, the company’s legal representative said they have launched a probe into the matter. “We are examining the case. Strict legal action pursuant to UAE laws will be taken against the man if our investigation reveals that it was he who put up that post. He will be sacked. We have a zero-tolerance policy,” the company’s legal representative said.

Go to Pakistan

Last week, a visiting Indian job seeker was told to go to Pakistan by his fellow countryman S. Bhandari, who owns an event management company in the UAE. Shamshad Alam, 42, from Maharashtra, India, told Gulf News he had barely shared his CV with Bhandari on WhatsApp when he messaged back saying ‘Go back to Pakistan’.

“I am aghast. How can someone be so insensitive?,” said Alam. “When I confronted him, he abused me and threatened to report me to police,” added Alam who has since lodged a complaint with Dubai Police. The WhatsApp exchange between Alam and Bhadari has also gone viral on social media.

Phone calls made to Bhandari by Gulf News remained unanswered over two days while an email sent to him elicited no response.

Strict laws

The UAE outlaws all religious or racial discrimination under a legislation passed in 2015.

The anti-discrimination/anti-hatred law prohibits all acts “that stoke religious hatred and/or which insult religion through any form of expression, be it speech or the written word, books, pamphlets or via online media.”

The legislation mainly aims to fight “discrimination against individuals or groups based on religion, caste, doctrine, race, color or ethnic origin.”

Post at your own peril

Here is the list of those who have paid heavily for their social media posts after Gulf News reported about them:

• March 2020: Indian chef Trilok Singh who worked at a restaurant in Dubai is fired for making an online threat to rape Delhi-based law student Swati Khanna over her views on the controversial Citizen Amendment Act.

• January 2020: Indian expat Jayant Gokhale draws flak for asking Keralite job seeker Abdulla SS to joining protestors in Shaheen Bagh in New Delhi.

• March 2019: Indian safety and security officer at Transguard Group in Dubai is sacked and deported for posting a comment on Facebook celebrating the terror attacks on New Zealand mosques.

• June 2018: Rigging supervisor at an Abu Dhabi firm is fired for threatening to kill Kerala chief minister in a facebook video.

• June 2018: JW Marriott Marquis Hotel in Dubai terminates contract with Michelin-starred chef Atul Kochhar after he puts up a post on twitter saying that followers of Islam had “terrorised” Hindus for 2,000 years.

• April 2017: 33-year-old Indian is sacked for sending offensive Facebook messages to Indian journalist Rana Ayyub.

What is Islamophobia?

Islamophobia is an exaggerated fear, hatred, and hostility toward Islam and Muslims that is perpetuated by negative stereotypes resulting in bias, discrimination, and the marginalization and exclusion of Muslims from social, political, and civic life.

Hi,

There is nothing wrong with his post---. He spoke the truth---.

The Tableeghi Jamaat was involved in a criminal act---ie the spread of a deadly HIGHLY COMMUNICABLE disease by holding large gatherings even when they were stopped to do so by the state---.

These Tableeghi Jamaat people were involved in a train fire a few months ago where quiet a few pakistanis died when an illegaly carried gas cylinder exploded in a train while food was being cooked in a moving train---.

you do realise Dubai has a sophisticated police department and CID.? if some body has been busted it means they usually have done some thing wrong.... read the article most of the trouble makers are hindu indians...

of course most hindu indians talk like that... but i cant believe how stupid they are posting on social media with their names.

yup... they are a sad bunch

he Tableeghi Jamaat was involved in a criminal act---ie the spread of a deadly HIGHLY COMMUNICABLE disease by holding large gatherings even when they were stopped to do so by the state---.

That is a lie.

Gathering was held on 12th March. State ordered closure on 14th, (on 13th a PSL match was held) --- all mosques and madrassas are closed throughout Pakistan but the anti-religion brigade's propaganda is not taking a break even during this time of crisis. Strange enough, no one dares to talk about Taftan pilgrims and the mishandling of their quarantine by handsome's government sitting in Islamabad which led to corona outbreak in Pakistan.

And that man is not talking about Pakistan, he is talking about a country where cow piss parties were held. They are talking about fake videos made to defame Indian Muslims.

 

[V. Makarov]

I strongly condemn carrying flammables and explosives on trains/aircraft, but the neutral report on that incident was that the incident was a short circuit and not an explosion as there was no evidence for the latter. However, the electronic systems of the train were all fried.

On the other hand, the public gatherings by the Tableeghi jamaat are condemnable but they were not technically illegal as the ban on the said gatherings was promulgated a day or two later as said by @Psychic . Here, I think the ideal situation would have been Tableeghi Jamat unilaterally canceling the Ijtema, citing the growing concerns for the virus; however, we also need to understand that these people are not very familiar on topics such as infectious diseases and it would have been a tough task for the local government to convince them to cancel the Ijtema.

They could be only deterred from holding an Ijtemah if the federal government had passed such orders. But unfortunately, the government was a day late. I dont know who to blame: the government or the uninformed people.

 

[khansaheeb]

They should ban all Indian Hindus from the Middle East because of their genocidal tendencies and acts.

Some.disgusting chawals in Pakistan have found tableegji jamaat as escape goat for their shit and lousyness.

Quite possibly. I had bad experience at Dubai airport while going to UK. That soutj Indian security person was asking me if my residence permit was valid while it was only issued 6 months ago , for 2 years. He said that he might need to ask to reissue tjat permit of its expired.
And those cheap twats at bat checking was almost shouting at me as my laptop took 2 seconds to boot. That security quite was quite ok with other Indians

They should ban Hindus from the Middle East!
