All those non-Muslim imams such as Pope Francis and John Kerry who have so confidently assured us that Islam is a religion of peace should make their way to Kishoreganj district and explain to the imam Mamunur Rashid how he is misunderstanding the religion he has dedicated his life to understanding.
“Four Including An Imam Arrested In Bangladesh For Vandalising Hindu Temple,” Sambad English, October 17, 2021 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Dhaka: Four people, including an Imam, were arrested in Bangladesh’s Kishoreganj district in association with the vandalisation and looting of a Hindu temple.
According to the police, the arrested persons — Mamunur Rashid, 22, two teenagers aged 15 and 16 and Kafil Uddin, a 50-year-old village doctor — admitted to their crimes on Saturday.
The violent incident took place on Friday at the Kali Mandir in Kadim Maijhati area.
The miscreants entered the temple, vandalised five idols and fled.
The attack took place just as the worshipers were preparing to immerse the idol.
According to the police, Rashid, who is an Imam, led the attack.
Police Officer-in-Charge (OC) Shamsul Alam Siddiqui told IANS that Birendra Chandra Bormon, the vice president of the temple, lodged a case naming eight persons and some 35 unidentified others on Friday night.
At least four persons have been killed and 70 others injured in the incidents of violence including attacks on Hindu temples across the country in the last three days.
The radical attackers vandalised, torched, and looted more than 70 puja venues, 30 homes, and 50 shops of the minorities, according to Rana Dasgupta, General Secretary of Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council (BHBCUC)….

If Islam is a religion of peace, then its clerics should teach reconciliation and compassion, identification with others. What is wrong here? Perhaps there are clerics who do this, but they are never mentioned in the media? Or there are none or few. Or perhaps there are some who would, but they are afraid of the radicals?

So much petty territorialism from people who can theoretically choose a leader with an itchy trigger finger.
Add a coup!e more fingers and a particularly humiliating terrorist attack and voila, nuclear war.

Bangladesh: Muslim cleric led rioters who vandalized and looted a Hindu temple
…………….
Grimly this does not surprise–could you imagine a Minister, Rabbi, Buddhist Monk, or Guru doing the same? Me neither…

And it was a Muslim who started all this with a fake “desecration” of the Qur’an–not a Hindu:
“Bangladesh: Man who placed Qur’an in Hindu temple, sparking deadly Muslim riots, is Muslim”

So, it was an invented excuse for some real terrorism.

Yep.

Surprise! Surprise! Mohammedans imitate Mohammed. In the hadiths and Sira, Mohammed picked the targets for destruction and then his followers went out to destroy them at his behest. Just like Don Corleone in the Godfather films.
But today, it is the mullahs who pick the targets and it is the trusted inner circle of their mosque attendees who carry out the ‘hits’ on blasphemers, kafirs and apostates that the mullahs deem deserving the death penalty.
After the attack takes place, these mullahs deny knowledge of them and then launch into denials … ‘No, I didn’t know that jihadi fellow … we tried to straighten him out in fact.’
All balderdash and lies from the mullahs. A former mullah and sheikh himself, Sam Solomon said, “Taqiyya permeates almost all the activities and dealings of Muslims with non-Muslim societies…”
