Guest guest Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 Om Namah Sivaya Dear Suresh, I understand your concern but it is wise to concentrate your mind on God rather than engage it towards anger and hatred (you are only harming yourself). I faced enough trouble from Muslim boys back in school days in London where I was bullied for being a Hindu. Hindu temples often intimidate by Islamic children, here is a temple close to my home where there is a mosque close to it and Muslim children after their Islamic lessons used to throw eggs or firecrackers towards the temple entrance often backed up by extremist clerics. Although it was reported to the Police, they did not take any action. Two years ago during chariot festival, there was a lorry parked (to frustrate Hindus) in front of the chariot at the temple which loaded with meat by a Muslim Butcher, despite humble request by devotees to move the lorry, he refused and finally some devotees pull him out of the lorry and drove the lorry somewhere else and vandalised it and the Butcher was severely beaten because he tried to stab them with a knife. This put the end to the Islamic harassments to that temple (Muslims around the area realised the fierce side of devotees). In May this year here was a new temple opened (largest Hindu temple outside Asia) and during open ceremony some Muslim crooks bombarded side entrance area with eggs, I took the trouble of cleaning it up. Last month chariot festival took place for that temple, due to 7/7 bombing the police did not gave permission to take the chariot wider area (security reasons), the temple trust anticipated 10 thousand people to attend so they went round and asked each neighbours (most of them Muslims) humbly to park their cars at nearby school provided them with free tickets but majority of them didn’t. What worst was that some crooks tried to pelt the deity on the chariot with eggs but fortunately it fell on devotees (included my mother), although those crooks were chased by devotees, they managed to escape otherwise they would have paid heavy price. We will be extra vigilant next time. I am glad at last the British government realised the dark side of Islam and try to propose new powers to expel foreign nationals who incite terrorism, shut down mosques breeding fanaticism and blacklist extremist clerics. The foundation of a religion that has been laid on the bedrock of spiritual truths will survive eternally. If the foundation based on politics it will crumble to ashes one day. _________ To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all new Security Centre. http://uk.security.
