Muslims not only attack temples and pagodas-they also attack their own mosques and kill the Muslims who are deep in prayer in there. In this instance it can be said that they are ‘religiously unbiased’! The act of murdering people whilst they are in prayer inside mosques, is a tradition which is as old as Islam itself. Hazrat Umar and Hazrat Ali where both murdered inside mosques. Both of them were in the midst of performing namaaz (prayer). And Usman couldn’t protect himself even after clutching the Quran close to his heart. The perpetrator’s sword ripped right through the Quran which Usman held to his chest.
Hazrat Muhammad taught Muslims that their only enemy are the Jews. Before he died he made one last request to his followers, that they eradicate every sign of the Jews from greater Arabia. It is perhaps because of the religion he practiced, Muhammad feared the religion of the Jews all his life. He was always spiteful of Jewish Alems who exposed his facade as a ‘prophet’, using authentic source materials. But he never knew how he had already managed to seed poison in his own religion as well. Barely a week had passed after his death, before Muhammad’s follower’s clashed in a bloody conflict. After forcing Jews and Christians to boycott Arabia, Muslims themselves later began swimming in a sea of their own blood.
The entire Muslim world has been covered in blood, just a few days before Eid. A car bomb attack has killed 35 people in Baluchistan, Pakistan. And on Thursday 29 people died in a bomb attack in Afghanistan. Furthermore plans to attack the Kaba Sharif in Mecca have been exposed…Those who killed were also Muslims, those who died were also Muslims. They each share the same Quran, the same Prophet, and yet they each believe that the other is an enemy of Islam. The Bangladeshi government has requested Muslims not to bring anything else apart from a ‘jainamaaz’ (a long piece of cloth in which Muslims perform prayers) to Eid prayers. For even there is a possibility of a bomb attack happening! Who would carry out the attack? Jews? Hindus? Christians?
Nah, these bomb attacks during prayer sessions happen because there are several sects within Muslims and they live in in constant fear of each other. Just a few days ago Islamic jihadists attacked a group of Christian missionaries in Egypt. More than 50 Christian missionaries lost their lives as a result. And temple demolition is a yearlong event in Bangladesh. Over allegations that Hindus had destroyed the abandoned Babri mosque, Hindus in Bangladesh were subjected to tremendous torture and harrsment. A similar incident occurred in Mosul, Iraq a few days ago. IS jihadists reduced the famous Nur Mosque to dust there. And yet not a single mosque on the planet shed a tear because of that.
Had this incident occurred in India or Myanmar the air around mosques would have grown heavy with the sound of curses. The faithful Muslims would have proceeded to attack Buddhist and Hindu communities by now. Even though they will never admit members of the IS to be Muslims, in truth the IS are amongst their religious brothers. So when reports emerge that the IS want to attack people during Eid prayers and Muslims chose to remain quite about it, it proves that there is a deep rooted problem amongst Muslims in general. And unless Islam itself is destroyed, this civil war amongst Muslims will never cease. Which is why it goes without saying that we still have to keep witnessing even more rivers of blood being shed. In truth Muslims should take an objective look at their own histories instead of making Jews, Christians and Buddhists their enemies. They must conduct self-analysis…
