Idols at Hindu temple were smashed and the wreckage thrown in a sewer: Hindu Lawmaker

[Rishikesh]

Mangla Sharma, a Hindu lawmaker in the provincial assembly, said that episodes of intolerance toward the Hindu community had been increasing in Sindh, including abductions, forced conversions to Islam, and coerced marriages of Hindu girls.
Last month, she said, idols at a Hindu temple in Thatta, a neighboring town to Karachi, were smashed and the wreckage thrown in a sewer.
“Because of such incidents, non-Muslim communities are now reluctant to attend the gatherings of Muslims,” she said. “The government, religious clergy and peace activists should work together to counter the rise in religious intolerance in the region.”

Threads already there’s for this article.

This is the Hindu Vet thread. Mods please merge

Anyways As I said before. This is reprehensible and the provincial PPP government needs to make sure that perpetrators aren’t allowed to go free and are punished

Only when people know you can’t use blasphemy law for fun and to settle personal scores will this end

We do have a major problem in Pak regarding minorities. Lets not point India's problems out when we are just as bad if not worse. Now someone here will call me an "Indian" for speaking the truth.

Both problems can be pointed out.

But it is just ridiculous to say not to point out issues just because it happen in your country. Lol

I’m from that province and yes minority in interior Sindh isn’t treated well.

But, I know plenty of Hindu in Karachi and Hyderabad who are doing great and respected, I only stated that because it shows incompetence and unwillingness of the provincial government to help them because land owner can get cheap labor.

Agreed. Especially from someone who is happy to point out faults of Afghans, Arabs and Mirpuris. Not saying these faults shouldn't be pointed out, but then why get suddenly sensitive when Indian bigotry is criticised?

Idol worship is shirk in Islam. What would Prophet Muhammad PBUH would have done if he saw idols and people praying to it?

Depends.

There's a difference between people worshipping idols in the house of God, and people worshipping idols in their own space of prayer living in a Muslim state.

What do you think he would have done?

Shirk only applies to muslims. Non muslims are free to worship whomever they please. True islam caters for non muslims, and everyone is free to believe as they please. There is no obligation for anyone to believe in islam, it is an individual choice to do so or not.

dude you don't know what 'shirk' means . I notice Indians always try to make a hot take on Islam with half-baked knowledge, I suggest y'all stay in your lane.

He would have let them be. You are aware that it took 500 years for Syria to become a Muslim majority state right? It included idol worshippers. Fire worshippers etc.

What did Prophet Muhammed PBUH did to idols in Kaaba?

Destroyed them.

You need to read up on why, the context and history leading up to the moment.

Then read up on general history of polytheists and Islamic rule at the time.

Everyone has their own reason for their actions.

Prophet Muhammed PBUH had no right to go and smash the Gods of Pagan Arabs. But he did. You cannot insult someone's faith and desecrate their God/Idols even if you disagree with them.

We have missionaries or evangelists in most faiths. Although I have often heard one can not convert to Brahmanism as you are either born that or not no one is stopping Hindu's from preaching. If one can not convert to Brahmanism then I wonder what all this "ghar wapsi" foolishness is all about. Can only assume that Brahmin's are happy to let people convert to lower castes so to serve these bullies.

To bring them into Hindu fold.

Not Brahmin fold.

Then as I say Brahmin's are the top most ranked Hindu's looking to convert others to lower castes to serve them. No chance, no intelligent person will ever accept that.

The conversion ain't being done by Brahmins. RSS doesn't believe in caste system. Or so they say.

The Brahmins that I know who are hardcore into religion, don't give two hoots about conversions.

They are in the repulsion marketing business.

Wonderful! So the conversions are not being done by Brahmin's but Muslim haters who want a pure India! I'll sleep a lot better knowing that the RSS are not Brahmin's!

Top Brass of RSS are from Upper Caste Hindus. But overall, Brahmins have nothing to do with RSS. RSS is an organization to unite Hindus irrespective of caste and fight off conversions. Of course, RSS along with VHP long for Akhand Bharat.

As one of my friend [MENTION=142256]Pakistanian[/MENTION] said, y'all should stay in your lane. Muhammad (PBUH) destroyed the idols bcz those were kept in the house of Allah the Ka-aba & which was constructed by Ibrahim AS (another iconic messenger) on the order of Allah, thousands years back. Ka-aba made for believers to worship Allah.

Plz dont spew rubbish without knowledge, if you do not have then better to keep silence. I haven't see here many peoples making fun that of monkey, rats or snakes are Gods in Hinduism.
