A 100-strong mob surrounded the police station in Delhi’s GTB Nagar for several hours and raised provocative slogans as the pastor and injured persons reached to file their complaint.
Delhi is India’s national capital and its security and police report directly to the Union home ministry headed by Hindu supremacist BJP’s Amit Shah, who is 2nd only to Modi.
Previously these armed and violent Hindu suprmacist mobs used to target Muslims during their Friday prayers, now they’ve expanded to target Christians.
That’s awful for those people. Sadly, many Christians in the US use stories like this to boost their own persecution complex so that they can justify (to themselves) their own persecution of other people.
Those who care about Christians/ Muslims being persecuted in India use their skills and resources to call it out and try to stop it. They lobby for sanctions against the persecuting state. There are those who put their lives and the lives of their famiies and friends in India at risk by calling out these hate crimes perpetrated by the Hindu supremacist Modi govt.
Yet, we’ve also seen Modi being welcomed and dined in the White house, welcomed and feted and honored with the Grand Croix de Legion de l’Honneur by French President 'Macron, welcomed and honured with state awards in Islamic countries. The govt.s of all these countries are all aware of what has been happening in India since 2014, but they don’t give a damn.
Religion causes brain damage.
Hindu supremacism isn’t religion, it’s religious extremism.
Which is part and parcel with any organized religion that has majority status in the location in question.

did you drop an ‘/s’?
The poor oppressed Christians… /s
In western countries that’s a fair viewpoint, but in countries like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh etc christians are oppressed & victimised quite regularly, being in the minority and surrounded by devotees of ‘rival’ religions…
In India, most Christians belong to the oppressed castes whose ancestors converted to Christianity to escape Hindu oppession and to get an education that had been denied to their caste.
Even though, they’ve been Christians for generations, Hindu supremacists hate them because their ancestors & they escaped religious and caste oppression. hindu supremacists derisively call them “rice bags” because of a myth that they changed their religion for a bag of rice. my q to this “How shitty their old religion must’ve been to them, if they willing accepted a new religion for a bag of rice in rice-growing India?”.
Are you in favour of religious persecution?
No, Christians have a long history of religious persecution. Or maybe you don’t remember what the church was like in the 14-1600s. I am in favour of revenge against such a horrible religion, who committed the crusades, the inquisition, the banning of science, and nowadays tries its best to ban women and LGBT+ people’s rights.
All those 500 year old Christians in India finally getting what they deserve.
Yeah, so are the 1,000 year old Mughal emperors.
Its ok to dislike or even detest a religion and its heads, but to cheer for religious persecution is beyond the pale.
And that justifies their religious persecution in 2023?
There’'s an ethnic & communal genocide going on in Manipur, India, for the past 110 days by Meitei Hindu supremacists with the active participation of the Hndu supremacist state. In this violence Kukis who are mostly Christians have been raped, tortured, killed, their limbs hacked, burnt alive, rendered homeless, their homes & churches have been burnt. A severely injured 7 year old child was burnt alive in the ambulance along with his mother and his aunt.
Christians in various parts of India have faced and continue to face horrifying brutality by Hindu supremacists. here’s one such incident https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Kandhamal_violence
Graham Staines, a pastor along with his two sons, Philip (aged 10) and Timothy (aged 6), were burnt alive in the vehicle they were sleeping in by Hindu supremacists.
In less violent incidents, Hindu supremacists have sttopped them fommeeting, from parying together, torn their Bibles, baten them up, lost them their jobs, made false allegations and police complaints on them.
Yesterday, a Hindu supremacist mob attacked a church, wounded the people, tore up their Bibles, and then harassed them when they were inside the police station.
And here you are cheering their persecution, because they’re somehow answerable for events that happened before their birth, which they had no hand in?
I don’t cheer for children being persecuted, as they are usually too young to properly understand their religion. I also don’t advocate such violent and brutal measures, even though there are and were Christians that used those exact methods to spread their religion. But I don’t support Christianity, which is a religion of hate, and am not too concerned about adult Christians being attacked for their faith.
You don’t have to support Christianity, or any religion for that matter, to be against religious persecution. They are mutually exclusive. They are not two sides of the same coin where you must land on one side or the other, they are two separate coins.
Yes, the victim of organized religion is the individual, but the victim of religious persecution is counterintuitively not the religion itself, nor its systems or organizations, it is unfortunately more individuals.
thank you for aying what I’ve been struggling to articulate.
Religious/ethnic persecution, religious/ethnic supremacism, and religious/ethnic extremism are the hallmarks of barbarism and opposing them is the minimum basic of a civilized people.
A Hindu supremacist mob doesn’t gently take the children away to safety and then return to rape, torture, and kill their parents.
Imagine being so pissed at long dead people that you become a minor monster yourself.
people have an even longer history of committing terrible atrocities. im personally in favour of revenge against such a horrible group of beings
