I truly enjoy articles like this. Why? Because in the end it will be what Muslims want or what non-Muslims want. AKA them or us. I don’t live in India nor am I Indian but I do appreciate their recent efforts against Islam. Such as banning hijabs in some colleges, excluding Muslim “asylum” seekers from citizenship, and the government literally bulldozing the homes of illegal Muslims.
‘Naturally scared’: India’s Muslims denied public spaces for Eid prayers
Mosques are asking worshippers to pray in shifts, as authorities issue threats against congregations.
Meerut, India – The mood is barely festive as a group of Muslim men huddle inside a small mosque to discuss the arrangements for Eid al-Adha prayers in Meerut district of India’s Uttar Pradesh state.
Considering the fact that when Muslims pray they degrade Jews and Christians, who cares?
SNIP:
The conversation is not about sacrificial animals or charity, but a more pressing issue before them: roads, barricades, police permissions, and where and how exactly they would offer the Eid prayers on Thursday.
“Please don’t gather outside the mosque gates,” instructs a member. “If the mosque fills up, wait for the next prayer shift. Avoid arguments. Avoid videos. Don’t respond to provocations.”
Muslims say they respect Jesus. If that were true why do they pray in the streets when Jesus said not to?
Jesus:
4so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 5Andwhenyou pray,do not belikethehypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the streetcornersto be seenby men. Truly I tell you, they already have their reward. 6But when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

‘People are naturally scared’
For more than a decade now, right-wing Hindu groups, emboldened by the election of Hindu nationalist Narendra Modi as India’s prime minister in 2014, have been protesting against Muslims offering public prayers on Fridays and festivals, citing traffic and security concerns.
These groups, and even politicians from Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), have disrupted namaz on roads, in parks, or on vacant plots of land.Viral videos showing Muslims praying in open areas have sparked outrage and online campaigns, prompting the authorities, in some cases, to withdraw permissions granted to Muslims to offer namaz prayers at such sites.
This isn’t an attack on Muslims. This is defending India defending herself from Muslims thinking they own the country, and can do whatever they want whenever they want. So don’t feel sorry for them.
Last week, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), a prominent far-right Hindu group aligned with the BJP, demanded a complete nationwide ban on namaz on roads, calling the practice a “show of strength” by the community.
Which is exactly what we need. Unity against Islam.

“For many Muslims, the concern is no longer only about where Eid prayers will be offered, but whether gathering publicly as a religious community is increasingly being viewed with suspicion,” said 42-year-old Mohammad Arif, a mosque committee member in Meerut who has been organising Eid prayers for nearly two decades.

“There is a fear of humiliation,” Numan Khan, a student at the Aligarh Muslim University, India’s largest minority academic institution, told Al Jazeera.
According to the world renowned Tafsir (scholarly interpretation and explanation of the Koran) Ibn Kathir jizya is humiliation. The one-way street is over.
The word Zion occurs over 150 times in the Bible. It essentially means “fortification” and has the idea of being “raised up” as a “monument.” Zion is described both as the city of David and the city of God. As the Bible progresses, the word Zion expands in scope and takes on an additional, spiritual meaning.The word Zion is also used in a theological or spiritual sense in Scripture. In the Old Testament Zion refers figuratively to Israel as the people of God (Isaiah 60:14). In the New Testament, Zion refers to God’s spiritual kingdom. We have not come to Mount Sinai, says the apostle, but “to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem” (Hebrews 12:22). Peter, quoting Isaiah 28:16, refers to Christ as the Cornerstone of Zion: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame” (1 Peter 2:6).

Islam is a menace wherever it grows.
Praise Jesus: the bread of eternal life. Deus Vult
It is remarkable that Hindus understand the dangers of Islam but most Christians do not.
Misplaced tolerance is destroying Christianity and its inherent values in the West.
I wish our President understood what a Hindu PM seems to grasp. Islam is dangerous. Islamics (such as General Vahidi or other inaptly labeled moderates) in Iran are not good partners in any deal. Islam is dangerous. Period. Not Muslims per se as most so- called Muslims are clueless as to their own religion’s tenets— but Fundamentalist Islamics who do understand are inherently dangerous— especially the ‘Twelvers’ of Iran who are avowed enemies of Israel and America bent on ushering in Armageddon believing the return of the Mahdi (Messiah) will grant them victory and usher in the rule of Allah and Sharia. This is not Kansas (Venezuela) Dorothy.
Those of us who live in the Middle East are aghast at the apparent outcome of the war in Iran. These people do not care about oil or bridges. If left standing (or prostate on a prayer rug as the case may be), they win.
The flip side of this coin in India is that the Hindus also consider Christianity a threat and persecute Christians regularly. Which— if you think about it— is strange as the end of Hinduism (Nirvana) is the realization that nothing is real and life is an illusion, so what does it matter if one converts from Hinduism to Christianity? But in India (I lived there many years) the reality is that conversion or any attempt to share Christ openly can be met with severe consequences.
The resurrected Jesus presented to mankind in the New Testament and living in and through true believers is the only hope of the world— Muslim, Hindu or otherwise.
My next article is about a Christian in a position of authority empowering Muslims.
You get it Douglas. Our President doesn’t understand that Muslims don’t think like us.
Welcome to the site.

It’s a spiritual war, and Jesus wins.
True, true. Jesus will— in the end— win.
But when Israel lived under the crack of the Egyptian whip, it took a Moses and great effort and hardship to escape.
Then they wandered in the desert for 40 years and then 40 more because they refused to undertake the battle required to conquer the Promised Land.
The battle is most assuredly spiritual in nature but it takes physical effort to win. Why Jesus involves us feeble humans is beyond me, but He does. We must do the work. And— we need a Moses at the helm who understands the nature of the beast we battle. President Trump, obviously, is not that man although I had great hopes he would be. That he would consider leaving this evil regime in place is proof of his lack of grasp of the real war.
I have lived and worked more than 40 years in Muslim countries. Islam is not the unassailable monolith some would have us believe it is. It is also not going away by itself. It will take massive effort— billions of dollars— and leadership that “ gets it”. It can be done. Islam is divided. Iran shoots missiles at its “ brothers”. The Shia- Sunni divide is real. A house divided cannot stand.
But… someone needs to take a wrecking ball to it— not the tiny hammers we have heretofore wielded. Hiding missionaries will not win over an entity willing to kill 40,000 of its citizens in two days.
If our leaders and the Church do not wake up and seriously engage Islam, America may one day live under the whip of Islam or, at the very least, wander another 40 years while the enemy conquers nation after nation— Britain is gone — Belgium is gone — most of Europe cowers before Islam after opening the flood gates to the Islamic Trojan horse.
We are now the prime target. Senators, Congressmen and judges swear allegiance with their hand on a Koran— the antithesis of our Constitution. Somalis carry the riches of our land away by the billions. Universities teach our children that Islam is merely another path to a God that may not even exist.
We are in danger. Time to rise up and fight— not against flesh and blood alone— but against the powers and principalities (such as the Prince of Persia/read Iran) that inspire the flesh and blood. There is no deal to be made. And, yes, Jesus wins— but we must first execute our share of the battle.
Well said. I agree.
We got a lot of snakes in the grass helping Islam to conquer the West.
Being soft on Islam will get your throat slit.
the indians appear to have more unity than the americans. i don’t include europeans because they have cuckolded themselves to any hostile foreign invader, not only moslems. the indians should be proud of themselves for not falling for the false song of globalism. we could learn something from their tribalistic tenacity and tribalistic crony policies. patriotic americans are not able to unite because cronyism is not the american way. we must learn from them to strengthen ourselves. we patriotic americans are not offering anything to the young people who would care to join hands with us. we expect them to unite with us without any incentive nor commitment to their future. by continuing this farce we ensure that young americans will continue to fall victim to influence of hostile foreigners. good luck America.
Thanks for the insight.
Ignoring the threat of Islam is a fatal mistake.
