India’s law actually grants citizenship to persecuted religious minorities from neighboring countries. The Los Angeles Times calls this “anti-Muslim” and says it “discriminates against Muslims.” But why? Are non-Muslims not actually being persecuted in Muslim countries? This shows how the charge of being “anti-Muslim” is used to intimidate and silence anyone who dares stand against the jihad or with its victims.
Meanwhile, every nation on earth should offer a similar refuge.
“Trump declines to condemn India’s anti-Muslim law,” by Eli Stokols and Noah Bierman, Los Angeles Times, February 25, 2020:
NEW DELHI — Wrapping up a two-day trip to India, President Trump declined Tuesday to condemn India’s controversial new citizenship law, which discriminates against Muslims, and downplayed the threat from the coronavirus, which now has spread to 34 countries, claiming it’s “very well under control in our country.”
At a news conference in New Delhi, the normally opinionated president appeared visibly uncomfortable and tentative at times as he tried to deflect thorny questions about India’s religious violence and the guilty verdict for former Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein on rape charges….
Saying he didn’t want to say anything to overshadow his “fantastic” trip to India, Trump declined to criticize Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s new citizenship law, which excludes Muslims and has helped fuel a new wave of communal violence.
Ten people have been reported killed, and dozens injured, in Muslim-majority neighborhoods north of the capital since Sunday. The clashes between protesters in favor of the law and those against it quickly took on religious overtones, with Hindu and Muslim mobs fighting each other.
The law passed by India’s parliament last year prioritizes citizenship for Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians while excluding Muslims.
Trump, asked several times about Modi’s support for the new law, praised the Indian leader.
“He wants people to have religious freedom,” Trump insisted. “They have really worked hard on religious freedom.”
Trump appeared to back Modi’s concern that the majority-Hindu country is being overrun by Muslims.
“He told me, I guess they have 200 plus, 200 million Muslims in India, and a fairly short while ago, they had 14 million,” Trump said.
India had about 35 million Muslims in 1951, according to the first census after independence, or about 9.8% of the population. The 201 million Muslims today are 14.2% of the population….
Old Fat Bald Socially Inept Ron says
Instead of Trump refusing to condemn, I wish he would’ve wholeheartedly endorsed this law with a detailed explanation for doing so. ??
James Lincoln says
Yes, but it’s a good start…
Infidel says
I agree. It would have been fine had he understood, endorsed and explained why he supports Modi, but even w/o that, I’m happy that he decided to leave India’s decisions to India
gravenimage says
Agreed, James and Infidel.

If I recall correctly, India and Pakistan were partitioned because history had taught people in that part of the world that muslims could not be trusted to live peacefully and respectfully with those who don’t share their ‘faith’. Indeed, I have been reliably informed that the Sikh religion came into being precisely because of muslim misbehaviour and the Sikh dagger was actually a defence against muslim aggression. So India was effectively a ‘safe house’ for non-muslims, whilst muslims could enjoy their own company in both halves of Pakistan. Except the muslims in East and West Pakistan respectively decided that they couldn’t get on together after all and split up after a bit of bloodshed (as people do all the time, of course – sarc/off). So now the Disciples of the Great Prophet presume some right to populate the place that was formed as a sanctuary from them, and deny those who wish to escape them that very sanctuary. Not very good, is it?
Amar says
Your understanding is accurate, with a slight correction in first sentence. Non-Muslims had actually not learnt anything from history, it was the Muslims who demanded a separate country through rioting and bloodshed. After receiving their fair share – 25% land for Indian muslims who constituted 24% of 1941 census, many of them decided to stay back in residual kafir land (India). And us stupid kafirs let them have their cake on the side (exclusive islamic country) and eat it too (equal entitlement in a secular country). On the other hand, the Muslims in Pak/BD have made the non-Muslim populations in their countries steadily disappear. We are simply doing the minimal ‘too little, too late’ action of rescuing these hapless Hindus, Sikhs, Christians from genocide. But even that is ‘too provocative’ for muslims and they need to riot.
gravenimage says
True, Amar. It was Muslims who demanded Pakistan and what eventually became Bangladesh.
And yes–while the Muslim population in India ha risen both in numbers and percentage of the population, Hindus, Sikhs, and Christians have been almost completely wiped out in Pakistan. Compare and contrast…
peter says
You are exactly right . Mohamed Ali Jinnah the founder of Pakistan said that he did not want British rule to be replaced by Hindu rule (obviously he did not believe in democracy ,as Hindus were in majority ) after independence even when Gandhi offered to make him prime minister of undivided India and Jihnah lived most of his life in England during India’s independence struggle .You can take muslim out of a desert but not desert out of a muslim

WHAT IS CAA (Citizen Amendment Act)?
CAA is to support RELIGIOUSLY persecuted Hindus, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, and Parsis of Muslim countries Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan who were tortured, raped, killed, forcefully converted by the majority Muslims in the name of religion! 22% Hindu population of Pakistan in 1947 is down to 2% is an evidence! Where did the 20% Hindus go to? Paradise?
Why should India absorb 5 lakhs Bangladeshi Muslims? Did they leave Bangladesh because they were religiously persecuted by their fellow Muslims? I don’t think so! I am sure they left Bangladesh to expand Islam and for better opportunities. India is not well equipped to absorb whole Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. They are the epicenter of hatred, terrorism, jihad, atrocities, and killings! The Muslims for those countries have 57 other Muslim countries to go to which in fact will not accept Bangladeshi Muslims. Whereas, persecuted Hindus have only one country to go to; which is India!
Let’s look at from another angle. Let’s say if your cousin brother’s family along with young children knock your door to get protection from 50 Gundas (gangsters) who already had killed some of your family members. You gave them shelter in your home. Few mins later same 50 Gundas (gangsters) knock your door for the shelters as well! Would you give them shelter too? Would you be able to support them financially? If not, is it discriminatory to those Gundas (gangsters)? In case if you do give shelters to those 50 Gundas, what would be the situation of your home? Hope it helps!
DID ANYBODY EVER QUESTION WHY THE MUSLIMS KILLS, RAPES, AND TORTURES KAFIRS (Non-Muslims)? DID ANYBODY ASK WHY MUSLIM SCHOOLS TEACH HATRED AND VIOLENCE AGAINST NON-MUSLIMS? THE ANSERS TO THESE QUESTIONS WOULD HELP SOLVE WORLD’S MOST PROBLEMS!

India understands from long and tortured experience what we have yet to learn, namely that Islam means what it says and that the only way that believing Muslims can live peaceably among others is if they are made to understand that if they choose to obey Islam’s commands to subjugate and massacre “unbelievers” they will not be allowed to live among those of us who are civilized.

” …utterly incompatible with civilised society”
David Hume
We know to whom he was referring.
gravenimage says
Quite so, Michael. The full Hume quote is here:
“The admirers and followers of the Al Koran insist on the excellent moral precepts interspersed throughout that wild and absurd performance…Would we know, whether the pretended prophet had really attained a just sentiment of morality, let us attend to his narration, and we shall soon find, that he bestows praise upon such instances of treachery, inhumanity, cruelty, revenge, bigotry, as are utterly incompatible with civilised society. No steady rule of right conduct seems there to be attended to: and every action is blamed or praised, so far only as it is beneficial or harmful to the true believers.”
Islamophobic says
Muslims are indeed the true scum on the face of planet Earth since the era of an arabic white trash, a murderous thug, a bloodthirsty ancient animal and bastard of an unknown father from the cave of hira, also known to mankind as prophet pedophiile mohammed.
Shirley Ann says
Since the Muslim Hordes comprise 14%+ of The Population of India, then I consider That India is OverRun with these known assassins. The LA TIMES (DEM FAKE NEWS) gives us their own biased view of Muslim Violence, as they take over a Country. Cheers for PM Modi for Putting Indians First & Cheers for President Trump for Putting Americans First. Bloody Muslims belong in Bloody Muslim Countries, NOT TAKING OVER SOME ONE ELSE’S COUNTRY. Does anyone remember 9/11/2001?

The president demonstrates once again the Art of the Deal! Having supported Modi so perfectly in the way the latter wanted, he’s now given America enough of a bargaining advantage when it comes to negotiating a trade deal w/ India. I do hope Made in the USA products of all types from Harleys to dairies make it there, and enable the US to make major inroads into India. We can and should sell them a lot more than just oil, nuclear plants and Apache helicopters
TruthSeeker says
The fake news media in the West and in India will not talk about the relentless persecution faced by minorities in Pakistan. Hindus have been reduced to barely 1-2% of the population. Teenage Hindu girls are routinely abducted/raped/converted and married off to older Muslim men. Yet these hijab wearing women in the US will scream the loudest about discrimination but will never speak of the atrocities their men commit on minority Hindu girls in Pakistan. The ones who have managed to flee from the Pakistani hell hole cannot even be given citizenship in India ? Why? Because it offends the Muslims? These scum of the earth radical extremists are a blot on human civilizations

Trump refuses to condemn India’s law granting citizenship to victims of Muslim persecution
……………….
Bravo, President Trump!
I’d like to see us pass similar laws.
sidney penny says
India’s law actually grants citizenship to persecuted religious minorities ( including Hindus,Christians ,Buddhists ) from neighboring countries( like Pakistan and Bangladesh )
Christians have the opportunity to go to other countries but Hindus only India.
It is sensible legislation that has been passed by Parliament so it is now law.
It does not affect Indian’s Muslims or discriminates against them in anyway.
The opposition to this by the opposition party in India and many Muslims is playing politics rather than anything else.

Super statement by Robert Spencer and he keeps hitting the nail on the head.

Trump nor Modi will cave in to the muslims. They do not feel the need to be politically correct. And who better than Modi understands the truth about muslims?
jca reid says
The “new non-Muslim” Indians won’t cause the bother that Muslims do in India. Just want to live their lives & get on. not looking for sex slaves, “war booty” etc. as is deemed the Right of Muslims as laid down in the Koran.
Infidel says
If anything, those new Indians would be fleeing from sex slavery, war booty and so on: at least in India, they don’t have to worry about Muslims abducting and converting their daughters like they did in Pakistan. Their girls can peacefully go to school, study, grow up and marry voluntarily whenever they’re ready
Suresh Vyas says
I request all non-Muslim democratic countries to drag Islam/Koran to International Court of Justice requesting that ICJ recommend them to declare Islam illegal on the following content/messages from Koran:
– Islam is anti-democracy.
– Islam does not include human rights.
– Islam treats women as property, not as human.
– Islam is enemy of all other religions.
– Islam tells followers to convert others by force, and if they refuse to convert, kill them.
– There is separation of church and state in Islam.
– In Islam/Sharia, one is guilty as charged. The burden to prove innocence is upon the accused.
– Islam does not give freedom of thought speech and action.
– Islam tells to produce children like pigs and force Islam on the children, thus taking over any democracy by gaining Muslim voters.
– etc.

Given all the riots that have been taking place, including the murder of an Indian cop, the desecration of a Hindu temple in Delhi and acid attacks on Hindus in another locality, Trump’s decision to stay out of it turned out to be a very admirable decision
Not that the MSM would agree
