Attacks haunt displaced Christians in east India - 25 Dec 08

[douginamerica]

I don't know why any Sikh would side with a Christian. The Sikh religion would be directionless without Hindus. It is like hating your ancestors.

[douginamerica]

Christians must be kicked out and reduced by all costs in India. It is a stain on Hindu lands. However, Zoroastrians, Buddhists and all non-Abrahamic faiths can be allowed to flourish.

Violence cannot be used and it is regrettable and dishonorable for Hindus do that. Christians however have no argument for attacking Hindus for violence. The Christians have a history of destruction and intolerance that seems to always be ignored.

[TheJmpeters]

Jesus told us that we will experience persecution for His names sake, He also told us to use it to grow our faith and our hope through building our character from tribulation. Bless those who attack you, don't attack them, Jesus told us to be humble and pray for those who hate us. Get back to the original faith taught by Jesus and His apostles. Matthew chptrs. 5-7, Romans chptrs. 5&12, Ephesians chptrs. 4-6 are some passages where we are taught how to live daily as Jesus taught us to live.

[yonisfarah]

These coward Hindus can't fight. I bet you Pakistan with less population then Hindus can easily defeat these non violent loving hypocrites. They have no honor and never had in history.

[yonisfarah]

My Muslim brothers in India stand with the Christians against the pagan Hindus. They are the worst kind of human being and deserve to be annihilated.

[IAMJESUSmovie]

Jesus Christ has returned. I AM.

[TheAgnosticAspie]

Nothing more than more ridiculous Christian propaganda.

Anyone with half a brain and any sense of dignity for truth, knows it is the Christians who are instigating this kind of violence on themselves.

Christian missionaries deliberately use trickery, bribes, and coercive techniques to forcibly convert Hindus.

The Hindu Nationalists are only trying to fight for their beliefs and cultural heritage from this digustingly aggresive encroachment on their beliefs.

Christians have no shame!

[evilandcrazed]

Hindus r the real terrorists! pathetic uncivilized, low lives! their sacred cows should be eaten in front of them! Infact ill order a big mac rite now!!! Yummy!!

[iteawonguy]

what the fuck are u talking about,,,u have 500 casts in hinduism,,if they want to be a hindu, u don't let them to go near ur God becuase he will be impure by getting a touch from this poor soul...If ur certain about ur faith let them do whatever they want to do.

[maheshprabhugp]

Cast is definately blackmark in Hinduism. But things are improving... People stopped using community name with their name in Tamil Nadu, India. In one or two generations there won't be any cast in Hindus. Every religion had its black mark. If you got to know about church activity in first 1000 years, Hindus cast system will become insignificant.

[maheshprabhugp]

Worldwide churches were working to convert people by taking advantage of poverty. The samething is happening in India as well. If we are silent spectar the India will be a Christian nation sooner or later.

[dreamzz2020]

Whatever may be the methods being applied, these poor,neglected people are actually getting benefited by the presence of missionaries. They are now having better living standards. They are getting subsidised medical care. Modern education is being imparted to them. All these positive things happened because of the presence of missionaries.

India is a secular country and everybody should have religious freedom. By getting converted, they are not becoming less Indian.

[maheshprabhugp]

Will you forget your tradition and culture if someone offers better life? If missionaries intend to help people, why cant they do without bargaining for their conversion?

[iteawonguy]

I understand ur point, but why does not their own faith take care of things..???If they are converting from Hinduism, Hindus should take care of them and let them stay intact.

[maheshprabhugp]

If you speak against conversion or act against conversion, you will be considered as unsecular. You can argue against proper reasoning, but difficult to argue against unreasonable argument. Argument against secularism is like that... Muscle power is unavoidable when Hindus tries to protect their religion.

[dreamzz2020]

By converting poor people, missionaries are actually helping them. They have established many educational institutions, hospitals in the remote far-flung areas. The inept governmental machinery has never bothered to work for these people and left them to suffer.

The Hindu religious organisations who are shedding crocodile tears now, never cared about them. They were nowhere, when people were dying of hunger. Livelihood is the first priority, religion comes later. (Continued)

[coolwaves4all]

Missinaries????? when al-zakehera will show that. PRoPAGANDA at its best. can anyone stop this?

[littlepakistan]

very sad;All indians are one;We are all from the saame race.

[selaloy]

hindu terrorism is on the rise...Organisation like VHS and RSS should be banned to prevent these kind of incidents happening again...

[SJJGautham08]

Um...... what?

That makes no sense whatsoever...

Is this how you Christian idiots respond to legitimate arguments? If so, I have to admit, I'm not surprised at all.

[SJJGautham08]

Christians like you do not belong in India. If you want to maintain this idiotic arrogance, then leave our country.

And while you're at it, fix your grammar.

[coolwaves4all]

martyr457 : you ISI agent , go and live in porkistan, i ve read many of its Anti indian comments.

[georg841984]

the cristian pope is a post nazi!!!!!!!!!"!!!!

[Siejerlaender]

yes of course.

and SantaClause is Batman.

funny post, really

[mauryansamrat]

either u wach al jazeera or bbc too much or u are living in 1940s. Today 400 million Indians are ruled by dalit and christian leaders thats 35% of population. CAN THERE BE HINDU MUSIL PRESIDENT OF YOUR COUNTRY?? NEVER

[dirgeofexistence]

I agree wid u ...but temme sumthin .....there is proof tht Jesus existed so tht means there is heaven and hell.....all this is done by politics and extremists....gimme ur thoughts

[mrtyreman]

Indians have lost thier tribal instincts, since when were they Christians? It's the same in Africa, fact. This is annoying in many ways, it will increase tention and hatred amongst human beings, taking us further away from peace.

[SJJGautham08]

As regrettable as the violence is, the fact remains that Christian missionaries are the one to blame. Were it not for their arrogant proselytizing, none of this would have been necessary. Unfortunately, the damage has been done, and the people of Bharat have no choice but to take up arms against the evil forces that are threatening our nation's Hindu heritage.

Hindu Rashtra ki Jai!

Vande Mataram

[indianhoustongirl]

what the fuk. what sort of barbaric statement is that? so you're saying if someone is not hindu that hindu's have the right to run them out and burn their house? get a fukin education. i hope you are living in india because your mind is soooooo fucking backwards. the diff between other nations and india is that religious tolerance exists in other nations. hope india can one day reach that level of maturity.

[SJJGautham08]

Excuse me? Are you implying that India is NOT tolerant? I challenge you to show me a single nation that has been more tolerant of others throughout its history. I have no problem with Christians or other non-Hindus living in India. The problem is with the missionaries. We have suffered enough at the hands of Muslim and Christian arrogance in the past. We need to stand up for our rights, and if violence is the only way, then so be it.

Study your history before you make false statements.

[VikramRao751]

Yes India is intolerant, specially in the last 20 years, we have become more intolerant because of hindu fundamentalism thats on the rise. Indians are by nature tolerant, but that tolerance is being tested greatly right now.

[SJJGautham08]

No, the intolerance is not because of Hindu fundamentalism. The intolerance is because of Christian and Muslim arrogance within India. They are the ones being intolerant, not us.

[VikramRao751]

Gautham, burning own houses and killing people is intolerance, no matter what religion it is, the world knows that there is Islamic fundamentalism, face the facts, there is hindu fundamentalism as well, no difference between us and them.

[SJJGautham08]

Vikram, obviously violence is regrettable, but unfortunately, we have no choice. The Hindu community is being forced into these kinds of activities. That is the difference between us and them. They do it to further their religion at the expense of others. We do it to defend our sacred way of life.

[SJJGautham08]

And for your information, no, I don't live in India. I'm an Indian-American, too. I just happen to care about my nation and my religion.

[fmctpdx16]

what you are saying implies that barabarism is alright.. does being indian end with conversion to a different faith system? are we forgetting that these victims are indian too? and HUMAN BEINGS before they bore allegiance to a nation or religion? my head hangs in shame on hearing such insensitive responses... i dont think hinduism says humans can play GOD.

[SJJGautham08]

I'm not saying that I want the violence to happen. But I don't see that we have a choice. What the Christian missionaries are doing in India is absolutely inexcusable, and must be stopped, whatever the cost. As Hindus, we have a responsibility to our ancestors to protect our nation and our heritage that these people are trying to destroy. And that responsibility must be satisfied by whatever means, even if it includes violence, as it regrettably does in this case.

[mauryansamrat]

yes the problem is our Hindu holy man are sleeping or become to greedy and these poor innocent are vulnerable they have no knowledge. even a white european christian how evil these missionaries arewhen they live there is alwyas a hatred, fight and bllod. these chritsian churches and missionaries were responsible for killing 150 million native american in north n south america. the ony way out is to stop conversion and send Hindu missionaries to christian countries!!

[georg841984]

god point cristianity and islan=most evil religions in world

me im vhite live in norway but dont like

cristianity so yes pleace send hiduism

or budism= more peaceful religions

[mauryansamrat]

Idiot do you know the full thing? do you know what they teach to kids? that our god are false?? will you comment on it?? will you comment on the fact that 3% of Indian christian wanted India not to be independent? but theenglish didnt take them to australia. I have no problem with the fact that some so-called low caste or weak people converted to christianity before but this shouldnot keep on going or else there will be reacting and unfortunately we will be fighting once again!!1

[dirgeofexistence]

Thts so gay....i'm indian but it suks bein 1....its so freakin 80's...i've moved on to be modern....but my faith remains the same...

Vande mataram gand me dalo

[Vangali]

Although I am against christian missionaries coming to my country, I hate to see innocent villagers suffer.. We shouldn't take out our anger on our poor brothers and sisters.. Save it for the foreigners who are trying to destroy our culture.

[chichaimochan]

Christians are part of your culture and have been for almost two thousand years! If you were a real India you would know that!!

[maheshprabhugp]

Please stop converting the people. Let everyone live peacefully.

[dirgeofexistence]

Peace by fighting....yea rite....like tht will evr happn....

[indianhoustongirl]

why are u against christians in india? its been there since st thomas the apostle of christ came. so are you saying there should only be ONE religion in india? india is not saudi arabia. I'm indian and i'm PROUD to be indian even though i'm christian. Just because i am christian does not mean that i'm less of an indian as you or any other one of my indian brothers or sisters. india is about democracy.

[mauryansamrat]

yes you are absolutely a Indian just like anyone but the problem is with missionaries not you. you are our own brther n sisters we were al one even true cathloic Indian christians are against the envaligcal and missionary. supposingle if you try to convert someone from my family by telling some stories there will obiviously some reaction from my side. why the western countries dont allow hare krishna to prech openly my sister?

[praveenk809]

well done state govt great job..

[rishi083]

see even I feel the same.... but this is all b'coz of fucking Govt and the suck dick mother fucking Politicians......I feel like raping 'em in the middle of road..... since incependence they've done nothing to our country...... its hightime for us to take some action and teach 'em a lession

[VikramRao751]

Shame on India, the Indian govt and the Indian people, feel ashamed to call myself Indian.

[dirgeofexistence]

Exactly....I noe how u feel mn....i'm livin in dubai and most of my frnds hate india cause of the politics and all tht shit....its like if we say we are indians it is an insult to us....so move on mn.....therez a whole new world out there

[VikramRao751]

Dubai and the whole middle east isnt that beacon of religious freedom either, the middle east is as intolerant of different religions as some Indians are.

[RUSSIAIIIKAZAKHSTAN]

propaganda !!

[abc75719]

painful reality ....... indian society is one of the most intolerant society regarding different religious beliefs

[grudgeagainstme]

Aman Chandra digal - a christian?!!! silly aljazeera. a bunch of hooligans attacked a community which happened to be near church is portrayed in media as 'attack on Christians'!

[lavakava]

lol no wonder hindus are getting their ass raped by muslims because karma is a bitch!

[bouchdag99]

haha karma is a BIATCHH!!

[anzakhn]

terrorist hindus

[rishi083]

teri maake bosudike....its u guys who are spreading terrorism all accross the globe.....fuckin peace of shit

[wildhawa]

jewishfan and the rest of you muslim haters go to hell. Islam is here to stay and there is nothing you can do about it. No matter how much you oppress us no matter how many of us you kill. You kill 10 muslims today but tomorrow another 10 are born. You will never win because God is with us.

[FlatulenceFox]

That is not what God told me. He said that He is with us and He is behind us 1000%.

[sajjab]

welldone bhai

[Siejerlaender]

Yeah, you make lots of Children. I noticed :-D.

But honestly, I think we(Christians) should take this as an example.

Our Bible says "Train [teach] a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it."

In order to train it, you have to give birth to it.. But in our western Society there is little or no room for Family and Kids.

[g0ogl3r]

Radical hindus Shame on You.

[cheegum]

So, blame this one on the pakistanis too?

[nickvanzetti]

merry christmas inkan and may you have peace in happiness this year!

[Jewishfan]

Jihad against India started long time ago. I'm wondering why it had a little coverage in the media. I hope what happened in Mumbai will bring more attention of world community on what Islam is all about. Unfortunately we Jews already know that cause of Islamic aggression is not a few hundred people who live in Hebron, a root of of Islamic aggression is in ideology of Islam. And it is not only our Jewish problem, it is a problem of the whole world. Islam simply must be forbidden, just like Nazism

[Energyium]

radical hindus have been doing terrorism for thousands of years

and the filthy cast system

[davidinfo13]

India is secular in name..but reality is that for the most part its just another backwards third world country

[magma80]

This is a channel sponsored by the Islamic govt of Qatar (I guess). Enough said. Seriously, if you want to be credible there are some issues you would be smart to avoid.

[clarissa6002]

Does christian in India mean they can eat those cows? Does the beef council know about this?! I bet they'd help them if they did!

[nickvanzetti]

what you talkin???

[WKaliber1]

Maciej Kuroń

[zakaslamuk]

Yobs kill them nothing to do with god, yobs will kill you does not what religon you are, its the way media betrays it makes you think its religon related ,No its not just common murder

[cutegual]

why ppl? Religion is private. I don't care even if you believe in shtan why do you have to kill them for your stupid religion. why? whhy? Le hem worship anything they want man. Stupid ppl.

[muzz20]

this what india and hindu all about i'm happy that we got pakistan, we all live happily muslim , hindu and cristian. thank god :)

[magma80]

nice comment. At first I thought he was being serious.

[jontraxx]

...oh really?!! u liar! u don't even in live in peace amongst various muslim communities.

[WimmyRoad]

A Hindu fanatic bombed a christian family in Lahore, Pakistan.

How come i dont see this on main stream media?

Hypocrisy on crack!

[Malgorzata64]

Maybe because it is a separated case? The communal violence in Orissa is going on for quite some time and it is not just one family which is affected but thousands of people. Or are there a wide-spread Christian terror attacks in Pakistan?

[okman360]

this is a news chanel that is not controled by the government and its not fox five that always blames the wrong people

[AlicBA]

Shame on you Al Jazeera!

Horrible report and you didn't even once mention that Hindu fanatics are responsible for this violence, NOT once Al Jazeera.

Already you can see anti-Islamic comments to this video because people think Muslims are to blame once again because that's what the so-called western media always says.

I'm starting to think that Al Jazeera is no better than the western lying propaganda media like Reuters, CNN, BBC, AP etc.

[Malgorzata64]

That's a strange comment. Mentioned or not, it is obvious for everyone that the report is about the Hindu communal violence. One of the men even says "I'm a Hindu but they burned down my house because my daughter is Christian." It's like when you speak about Barak Obama - there is no need to repeat in every short story that he is the future president of the US. It's obvious. Everybody knows.

[teemuruskeepaa]

AlJazeera embeds meanings into everything. Don't believe anything you see or hear on their channel, and if you watch it do it only to impeach their propaganda.

[ChristianLove2008]

wow I didnt know the cow worshippers were as violent as the cross worshippers, lol merry xmas and a happy cow day for christians-hindus<<11

[zizoubilly]

lmao

[imwatchinvideos]

get a life or read an unbiased book is all i can say to you, peace.

[imwatchinvideos]

this is hindu and christian violence u stupid idiot

[triumphelf]

Under Islam ,there's is no FREEDOM OF RELIGION!!

[imwatchinvideos]

this is christian and hindu violence u dumb ignorant person...anyways if u wud have read how the muslims have been persecuted by the hindus in gujrat u wud have said otherwise.

[manhattanwombat]

those savage pagans should be exterminated

christians and muslims unite against the savages!

[davidinfo13]

christianity, islam, hinduism...its all despicable as far as I am concerned.  People should mentally come back down to planet earth and live in reality and then maybe we'll have a chance to change things for the better. As long as people are trapped within lala land there is no hope

[manhattanwombat]

je déteste des athéistes aussi. ils ont meurtrié plus des gens comme toutes les guerres réligieuses du monde.

[ArabianKnight1201]

Those hindous dont respect anyone other then themselves..

[manhattanwombat]

yea this is what you get for letting them be hindu in peace for a thousand years of islamic rule... its just like the jews u protected them and then they turn on christians and muslims

[magma80]

Arabian Knight, It is the same story for thousands of migrant workers from India who work in the Gulf. Stones and glass houses really.

[qatari92]

the migrant workers from india who work in the gulf are the ones that are keeping indias economie alive. specially the Muslim Indians becuase they are the majority of Indians that are being employed by the gulf. my family only employes muslim indians

[bakwas]

i would disagree. muslim indians in gulf hardly r able to support themselves and families. they are not the driving forces behind indian economy unfortunately.

[ilikeicecreamandcake]

migrant indians from usa, australia, uk, canada, south east asia.

i am sorry. indians of all religions bring in tremendous remittances.

the ones in usa and uk easily send more money back.

peace.

[isegoria1]

Religion Poisons Everything

[Sexmachine230]

Religion is poison.

[zizoubilly]

not if its practised properly, surely god wants humans to live in PEACE!

[davidinfo13]

religion is a human invention

[zizoubilly]

sure mate

[Sexmachine230]

god doesn't exist, sorry to burst your bubble.

[zizoubilly]

NO-ONE can burst my bubble!

[Sexmachine230]

lol :p

[thakurjaideep]

well i deeply moved by what happened in orrissa in my INDIA...this is not my INDIA i m a hindu,,...i don't my country to be like this...christians are my brothers but they have to understand that they can not take advantage of the poverty of hindus to convert them into christians....i m secular but never in any one conciense one will allow conversion...even for a non hindu....

[davidinfo13]

in secular societies freedom of thought is protected.

[angelicsoulz]

Everyone says their religion is about peace but we always see killings in their names.Then they wonder why there are unbelievers.

[Malgorzata64]

It's like I've seen someone saying on CNN: there are people of God and people who kill in the name of God. They are usually not the same people.

[magma80]

SO angel, what did you have for lunch?

[nickvanzetti]

tory lane!
