Hindus caught in backlash after July 7 terror attacks

jan 7th

how nice! mohammedans do the bombing, white guys attack hindus because they are scared of mohammedans.

"if you can't be with the one you love, then love the one you're with" says the lyric to some song.

similarly, if you can't beat up the guys you hate, just beat up some poor inoffensive people.

stanford psychologist robert sepalsky (great guy, the name is something like that) has been studying baboon societies in africa for some time. there too he says if a medium-sized baboon is roughed up by a dominant, big baboon, he then takes it out on a smaller female, who then might beat up a small baby baboon. he says this is the way they deal with stress.

looks like white guys in britain are pretty close to baboons. much like the abbe dubois and max mueller. after all, they only had from 10 am on October 25, 4004 BCE to evolve. not long.

Hindus caught in backlash after July 7 terror attacks

By Jason Bennetto Crime Correspondent, The Independent (UK)

Published: 04 January 2006

A rising number of Hindus are the victims of hate crimes, partly as a backlash from the London suicide bombings, Britain's largest Hindu organisation has said.

A telephone hotline to report attacks is being set up to help the 700,000 Hindus in this country.

Ramesh Kallidai, secretary general of the Hindu Forum of Britain, said "hate crime" incidents ranged from verbal and physical attacks on worshippers to graffiti and vandalism at Hindu temples. In one of the most recent attacks, paving slabs with swastikas scratched on them were thrown through the windows at a hall in Basingstoke, Hampshire, while a religious meeting was taking place.

Mr Kallidai said there was evidence that Hindus and their temples had been targeted after the July 7 bomb attacks in London, even though the terrorists had been Muslim.

The Hindu Forum, which represents 260 Hindu organisations in Britain, has arranged security training for volunteers to prevent attacks at Hindu temples.

Hindu groups are pressing the Home Office and police to keep separate records of religiously motivated attacks on Hindus. At present the figures are collected only for racial groups.

The British Crime Survey found that the number of racially motivated incidents in England and Wales has quadrupled since 1993 to about 50,000.

Mr Kallidai said: "After 7/7 there was an increase in attacks on Hindus because of mistaken identity. For almost 90 per cent of the south Asian community you cannot tell which religion a particular person belongs to."

The "hate crime" hotline, due to start later this year, could also incorporate a service aimed at young people and is modelled on the success of the Muslim Youth Helpline.

The introduction of the service will coincide with a campaign to encourage Hindus to report hate crime.

Britain's Hindu population is based mainly in the London and Leicester areas, and in parts of Birmingham, Leeds, Bradford, Wolverhampton and Coventry.

Most Hindus in Britain are of Gujarati, Punjabi or Tamil ethnic origin.

rajeev,

incorrect observations.

it's happening becoz they cant tell
which religion they belong to.
read the article...

also possibly they anyway dont like
hindus or indians and are using
7/7 as an excuse to target them.

racism....

i feel sorry for them and all such
people. they are the weak ones...

Mathew,

I dont understand a word of what
you are saying.

I only said the people attacking
the Hindus in London after 7/7 are
mistaking them for Muslims. This is
exactly what the article says -
"mistaken identity".

Also, if they are targetting Hindu
temples, they obviously know what
they are doing. They know they are
attacking Hindus, and it's racism.

Are you blind ?

And should I also be blind ?

I also said I feel sorry for such
attackers. Why does that upset
you ?

How does LA and Merry Christmas
and ex-hippie come into the
picture ?

Also, if you are genuinely
an ex-Christist why dont you get
yourself an authentic non-
christian name ? Exactly who and
what do you represent ?

I dont understand what you are
complaining about. And why do you
read this blog ? What do you want
from here ? I write a comment to
Rajeev, and you write a comment
to me on my comment. Why ?

Are you an appointed moderator ?
If not, why dont you leave me
alone ?

Dont come here looking for good
cheer. This isnt the place for
that. Go to a temple or picnic
spot or spend some time with
friends/family (and I dont mind
what religion your friends are,
or what festivals they like).

Darkstorm sweetheart,

I said exactly the same thing as
you said in your first two lines.
Please read my comments, I said:



"Also, if they are targetting Hindu
temples, they obviously know what
they are doing. They know they are
attacking Hindus, and it's racism."

Just because I said I am sorry for
such attackers, you are so upset!
Why ?!!

Did I ever say I support their
actions ? Why are you so upset ?!!

I feel sorry for murderers also.
Does that mean I support murder ?
No. :-) :-)

As for Kalyani's criticism of my
comments, direct or indirect,
I will not respond to any of it,
not because I dont have the
ability, but because I think she
does not read properly and is too
quick to post a retort. She simply
cannot see any point of view other
than her own, and that becomes
truth for her. This is exactly
what Islam/Xianity is guilty of.

Kalyani,

I will have to remind you that on
the Alexander thing I only brought
in some information in general
support of your comment.

Other than this, I will only let
everyone know that I do not come
here to sweeten anyone or anything.
It is my nature to be whatever I
am, and yours to be whatever you
are. And the same is true of anyone
here.
