Indian Muslims won't tolerate disrespect towards Prophet Muhammad salla allahu alayhi wasallam

the protest was planned for Friday but since modi was in the city it was undertaken immediately for more publicity.
The unfortunate part was that it deteriorated into a religious clash when they tried to forcibly close all shops.
Reminds me of the riots the day trump arrived in delhi. Too much of a coincidence.
Seems that the opposition is trying to score points by using muslims.
Unnecessarily creating bad blood with ppl they are staying with.
I support the bull dozing houses of the mischief mongers. Actually they should bulldoze the complete neighborhood of the offending community. community pressure works better.
 
Muslims of Uttar Pradesh came out to protest derogatory remarks made by BJP Spokesperson towards Prophet Muhammad salla allahu alayhi wasallam.

Yesterday, PM Modi and CM Yogi were attending Investors summit in Uttar Pradesh.

A clear message was sent to the state, blasphemy won't be tolerated.

Now this is where TLP should exist but never will.

Kinda like how ISIS never attacked Israel.
 
Why is this thread floated by a disinfo Hindutvadi specialist still not locked ?
 
India, which is home to 10.9% of the world’s Muslim population, has been witnessing a growing wave of islamophobia.

India‘s Vice President Venkaiah Naidu has kicked off a four-day visit to Qatar with a high-level delegation as part of a three-nation tour that also includes Senegal and Gabon.

During his visit, Niadu met with Qatar’s Shura Council and will be attending a business forum alongside an Indian business delegation and a delegation from the Qatar Chamber later on Sunday.

His visit comes as #الا ـ رسول ـ الله ـ يا ـ مودي (#AnyoneButTheProphetOModi) has taken social media by storm, securing as the number one trend on Twitter in Qatar and neighbouring Arab states.

The hashtag came as a response to offensive tweets by an Indian politician who took aim at the Prophet Muhammad, prompting calls for a boycott.

Users reacted with anger to a tweet posted by Navin Kumar Jindal the head of the media department from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Delhi, and a prominent politician close to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The tweet was about the Prophet Muhammad’s marriage to Aisha, with many saying it was an extension of Modi’s offensive Islamophobic policies.

Jaber Alharmi, a prominent Qatari journalist tweeted “The official spokesman of the ruling party in #India Navin Kumar Jindal insults our Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, and our mother Aisha, in a dirty and obscene manner.. Our silence prompted this **** to offend our Prophet, our religion and our sanctities. If we do not defend our Prophet and our security, then there is no good in us.”

In an official statement to Doha News, the Indian Embassy in Qatar distance itself from Jindal.

“Comments of fringe elements does not represent views of the Government of India. He is neither an official of GOI nor represents views of the ruling Party. To the best of our information, even the party has strongly condemned the remarks and expelled him from the party,” the statement said.

The BJP party also issued a statement condemning the remarks made by Jindal.

“During the thousands of years of the history of India every religion has blossomed and flourished. The Bharatiya Janata Party respects all religions. The BJP strongly denounces insult of any religious personalities of any religion.”

Several Indian cities and states have seen widespread systematic persecution of the Muslim minority in recent months, accompanied by violence from extremist Hindu militias.

For years, far-right Hindus have incited anti-muslim violence online, but it has only recently materialised in the streets.

Muslims account for roughly 13% of India’s population of 1.35 billion people.

The Indian population in Qatar exceeds 750,000, making up about 25% of Qatar’s overall population of 2,979,915.

In May, an Indian expat working in Qatar was sacked after making derogatory comments about nurses from his native country. While speaking at an event organised by a Hindu organisation, Sisupalan Durgadas claimed that women from Kerala who go to the Gulf as nurses work as “sex slaves for terrorists.”

Durgadas was fired from his position as regional coordinator of the Malayalam Mission’s Qatar chapter when a video of him making those remarks went viral. On May 5, the Malyalam Mission in Qatar sent a letter dismissing him from his role.

He was also fired from his job as a senior accountant at Doha-based Narang Projects.


The Indian envoy was summoned by the government in Qatar today amid growing anger over the comments on Prophet Mohammad by several BJP leaders, against whom the party has since taken action.

In a statement, the Indian Embassy in Qatar said Ambassador Dipak Mittal has conveyed that the "tweets do not, in any manner, reflect the views of the Government of India. These are the views of fringe elements".

"In line with our civilisational heritage and strong cultural traditions of unity in diversity, Government of India accords the highest respect to all religions. Strong action has already been taken against those who made the derogatory remarks," read the statement.

Earlier today, the ambassador had a meeting in the Foreign Office in which Qatar raised concern over the remarks of party spokesperson Nupur Sharma her colleague Naveen Kumar Jindal. Mr Jindal has been expelled by the party and Nupur Sharma suspended.

BJP in damage control mode after calls grow for boycott of Indian goods in the Arab world​

After hashtags calling for the boycott of Indian products began trending on Twitter in Arab countries over alleged inflammatory remarks against Prophet Mohammed by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokespersons Nupur Sharma and Naveen Kumar Jindal, the party cracked a whip against them.

While Nupur Sharma has been suspended from the party “with immediate effect”, Jindal’s primary membership of the party has been cancelled.

The Grand Mufti of Oman along with Twitter handles with a large following have called for the boycott. The tweets also included a scathing attack against Prime Minister Narendra Modi

With the issue snowballing into a major controversy, the BJP has swung into action.

In a statement released on Sunday, June 5, by BJP’s party general secretary Arun Singh, the party asserted that it “is strongly against any ideology which insults or demeans any sect or religion,” adding that it “respects all religions and strongly denounces insult of any religious personality.”

“The BJP does not promote such people or philosophy,” said Arun Singh.

The BJP statement, however, made no direct mention of any incident or comment. It also did not provide any context for the statement, either by referring to Sharma’s comments or about the religion in question.

Sharma’s and Jindal’s remarks have drawn protests from Muslim groups.

Singh said, “During the thousands of years of history of India every religion has blossomed and flourished. The Bharatiya Janata Party respects all religions. The BJP strongly denounces insult of any religious personalities of any religion.”

“India’s constitution gives the right to every citizen to practice any religion of his or her choice and to honour and respect every religion,” he said.

“As India celebrates 75th year of its Independence, we are committed to making India a great country where all are equal and everyone lives with dignity, where all are committed to India’s unity and integrity, where all enjoy the fruits of growth and development,” the BJP leader said.

Under pressure, the BJP acted against Sharma and Jindal. In its suspension letter to Sharma, the Central Disciplinary Committee of the BJP said, “…pending further inquiry, you are suspended from the party and from your responsibilities/assignments if any with immediate effect.”

Soon after she was served with the suspension notice, Sharma took to Twitter and said it was never her intention to hurt anyone’s religious feelings. She said her remarks made on TV were only in response to “continuous insult and disrespect to our Mahadev” and that it was “mockingly being said it is not Shivling but a fountain.” The Shivling referred to the ongoing controversy concerning the Gyanvapi mosque.

The Delhi unit BJP in its letter addressed to Jindal said, “You have expressed your views which instigate communal disharmony. This is against the fundamental principles of the BJP. You have acted against the party’s thoughts and policies.”

The letter was incidentally sent out by Delhi BJP president, Adesh Gupta, who has been criticised by civil society for making communal remarks against Muslim residents of Delhi.

A number of BJP supporters on Twitter lent their support to Sharma and Jindal, and called the BJP high command’s decision “cowardly”.

Global pressure against Hindu majoritarian politics

Coming against the backdrop of protests occurring both within and outside India against Sharma’s and Jindal’s remarks and an attempt by Hindutva workers to lay claim to Gyanvapi mosque adjacent to the premises of Kashi Vishwanath temple, the BJP is possibly feeling the heat at the international level for what has now become an unabashed pursuit of Hindu majoritarian politics.

Incidentally, the ruling party’s statement in reaction to the social media backlash is in contrast to New Delhi’s indignant tone when it accused the United States of indulging in “votebank politics in international relations” after US secretary of State Anthony Blinken spoke of “rising attacks against people and places of worship” in India.

This time around there has been no official statement from the ministry of external affairs or any of the Indian missions in the Gulf.

However, the Indian embassy in Oman did re-post tweets of the BJP’s statement through its official Twitter account.

According to Indian officials familiar with the Gulf region, the Grand Mufti’s statement is not endorsed by the Oman government and can only be seen as his personal views. They also noted that the Grand Mufti had also previously issued statements about incidents against the Muslim community in India. He had tweeted in September last year in the wake of Assam police’s actions which largely targeted Muslims during an eviction drive.

This is not the first time that statements from BJP members had led to a backlash in the Gulf region.

In April 2020, the Tablighi Jamaat was accused of being a “super-spreader” of coronavirus infections, with BJP members even accusing them of being “human bombs”. With the media and members of the ruling party issuing provocative remarks which seemingly targeted all Indian Muslims, Prime Minister Narendra Modi issued a general tweet calling for unity and covid-19 not discriminating against any community.

While the Indian embassies highlighted the Indian PM’s tweet, it was not enough to stop the social media momentum with a number of prominent Arab social media personalities focussing on the remarks by several BJP members, actions by authorities which had an alleged anti-Muslim bias, as well as, social media posts of Gulf-based Indians. There were also calls for the boycott of Indian businesses in the Gulf.

The Indian missions in the Gulf countries had to also issue statements asking the Indian diaspora to remain vigilant against religious divisions.

In May 2020, the Indian government asked Twitter to block the 2015 tweet of a BJP member of parliament Tejaswi Surya, which had also been circulated during the social media backlash from the gulf.


 
BJP is shameless party. If BJP has objection whatsoever she said, she should have been sacked on the same day. Not after protest from Muslims in gulf countries. BJP has no convictions, they can do anything for Votes.
 
Among the faithful, apnai prophet(s), god(s), and other figures to sabhi ko precious hotay hain.

Afghanistan is a war I've looked at intently, also no cheerleader for NATO or anything here but "victory" to nahi keh saktay AT ki.. it had gone to basically a crushing defeat of the AT at the hands of NATO/west but there was a big stalemate in terms of "hearts and minds" nahi jeet paye + lack of political will from the west.. Afghan people themselves, poor guys were caught between the proverbial rock and a hard place.

In the absence of air defence or any proper heavy artillery, mechanized and armoured forces on so on.. voh majboor ho gai suicide bombings ki reliance pe.. bechare gareeb desperate logon ki exploitation hui zabardast.. very sad, the whole thing, on and for both sides. Fallout iska Pakistan me bhi dekha gya..

"end of the day we aint r those who r afraid of dying"

ye kesa false bravado hai ?

US waaley nikal gai patli gali se apna bees saal ka kachra (which was kachra to begin with too, in all honesty) .. left there..

Afghanistan is a regional problem child for everyone here, also a very sad case study. In a perfect world we would all help them recover but they seem to be a "gone case" for now.. at least up until someone can find and extract those magical Lithium deposits there.
''Among the faithful, apnai prophet(s), god(s), and other figures to sabhi ko precious hotay hain''

Then why cant this big portion of yr society recognize this? These Hindu Radicals?

As for IEA etc, just watch this interview from 8:15 minutes. Even this anchorperson of Sky news which is a british channel uses the word ''defeated'' in Afghanistan for west. His question was ''r u pleased to see west defeated against taliban''?


kiss dunya main bethy ho Sharma sab? US's latest report that was shared in this forum by an Indian had also admitted and used the word ''defeat'' there and put the blame @ pak for cross border Taliban sanctuaries etc.

As for suicide attacks, with lack of heavy equipment that u.....thats why guerilla warfare exists.

That's how it is fought, its the battle of attrition. And in war, u should know morality or normal behavior takes the back seat. As Lt Gen Asad Durrani once said: Its not a game for weak hearted people.

And do u even know who was the founder of this kinds of asymmetric warfare? It was none other then Salah ud Deen Ayyubi himself. Thats how he defeated crusaders 1000 years ago and to this day his war tactics and war approach is followed by Taliban and even the Iraqis.

In case u missed, watch this movie. To know how its fought, Its the game of minds, psychology inorder to break yr opponent's will to fight through attrition.

 
Although I believe suicide bombings is wrong according to Islam.

Some suggested that those who make fun of our religion, we should make fun of their religion as well.

Although making fun of any religion is wrong.
fidayeen attacks should only be seen as part of a battle tactic. Afterall Salah ud Deen Ayyubi was the creator of those attacks. His army used to use these tactics in their night time raids into the sleebi armies camps.

Back then a lone warrior in the arabian black horse used to infiltrate their camps at night when they used to be sleeping used to burn their camps food and armories' etc etc as well as let loose or kill their horse. And when they used to wakeup he used to then fight them killing as much as he could by taking advantage of panic and chaos till his death.

In Salah ud Deen Ayyubi era these special volunteer warriors used to be called ''fidayee'' That name is still stuck to this day! Fidayee is the mujahid who volunteers for these attacks and fidayeen is the name for these attacks. This name come from the root word/name Fida which mean in Urdu Qurban or in English Sacrifice.

Not a lot of people know about this but this is the true history behind these attacks. So certainly these arnt haram in any shape or form. These r the attacks in which a warrior self sacrifices himself for a greater cause ie to impact the outcome of the overall war through attrition. Bringing the number of yr opponents numbers down.

What can be recognized as haram is when these modern groups use it to kill innocent civilians instead of enemy combatants.
