Indian Islamists were seen doing what they do best – exposing their hypocrisy! Recently, we noticed that Indian Islamists, who shed bucketloads of tears for Palestine/Gaza, are deafeningly silent on the atrocities unleashed by their Islamist brethren against Hindu minorities in the subcontinental Islamist nations of Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Their hypocrisy and intolerance were on display as Saudi Arabians enjoyed the Bharatiya socio-cultural exhibition.

Indian Islamists denounce cultural festive celebrations

An Instagram handle named ‘Ummah on Path’ shared an undated video of a socio-cultural celebration in Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Muhammad. The handle termed the celebrations ‘sad’ as it showed Saudis dancing and enjoying the dances and music.

Others blamed Saudi leaders and called them names. They even expressed disappointment with Saudi leaders for allowing such a ‘shameful’ act. According to some Islamists, such programs shouldn’t be allowed in ‘their’ holy land. These are the same people who want Bharat to be ‘liberal’ and ‘democratic’ but have different yardsticks and rules for ‘their’ Islamic country.

While it can’t be said with certainty what the date of the video is, Indian cultural festivals were also held in Saudi Arabia in 2012. An Islamic nation is ‘open-minded’ enough to celebrate Indian culture, but Indian Islamists failed to display the same ‘liberal’ mindset. This has become a characteristic feature of Indian Islamists.

Ghazwa-e-Hind & extremist Islamist movements

It isn’t wrong to say Indian Islamists are highly radicalised. Ghazwa-e-Hind is the Islamist concept of converting Hindu Bharat into an Islamic nation. A 2011 lecture by a prominent Islamic cleric, Irfan-ul-Haq, explained the genesis of Pakistan being the prophesied defeat of Bharat and Hindu Dharma at the hands of Pakistan in what is known in the Hadith (Hadees) literature as the ‘Ghazwa-e-Hind’ or Muhammad’s War on Bharat.

The cleric tells his enthralled audience that Pakistan came about for the sole purpose of being the springboard of the end-of-times ‘Ghazwa-e-Hind’ when Pakistan’s military and people will swarm Bharat and wipe out once and for all the practice of Hindu Dharma from the face of the earth.

He says only then will the armies of Islam march to meet the reincarnation of Jesus Christ in Syria, from where Europe will be conquered and once that is done, human civilisation will end on the prophesized day of Qayamat (Qayama in Arabic, the end of times).

Not surprisingly, Bharat is the birthplace of radical Islamist ideologies. However, Islamist hypocrisy is repeatedly evident every time they pass unsavoury comments on Muslim (or whose either parent or spouse is a Hindu) cricketers and entertainers celebrating Hindu festivals. Even those just wishing Hindus were at the receiving end of Islamist hate. Islamist double standards should be a wake-up call for ‘aman ki asha’ type Hindus.
