Chaitra Shuddha Dashami In Muslim countries like Malaysia & Saudi Arabia, Hindu Temples are destroyed by their governments. In India also, Muslims also destroy Temples; But no one even dares to enter into Mosques or Madarasas due to fear of Muslims..Hindus must think on this situation & get unite to fight against such anti-Hindus! - Editor
Riyadh (Saudi Arabia): Saudi religious police have destroyed a clandestine makeshift Hindu temple in an old district of Riyadh and deported three worshippers found there, a newspaper reported on Saturday.
Members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, or the religious police, Thursday stumbled across a room converted into a temple while raiding a number of flats suspected of being used to manufacture alcohol and distribute pornographic videos, pan-Arab Al-Hayat said.
"They were surprised to find that one room had been converted into a Hindu temple," it said.
A caretaker who was found in the worshipping area ignored the religious police orders to stop performing his religious rituals, the paper added. He was deported along with two other men who arrived on the scene to worship.
All forms of non-Muslim worship are banned in ultra-conservative Saudi Arabia, which is home to Islam's holiest shrines. (What secular people in India will say about this who call Hindus as fascist & fundamentalists? - Editor)
The US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), an advisory panel, last month urged the US government to impose sanctions on Saudi Arabia, as well as Vietnam and Eritrea, for violating religious rights.
Last year, the US State Department for the first time named ally Saudi Arabia, as well as Eritrea and Vietnam, "countries of particular concern" in its annual report on religious freedom. A list previously included China, Iran, Myanmar, North Korea and Sudan.
Saudi police have for the past couple of weeks been conducting a security operation in an old part of Riyadh inhabited by mainly Asian labour on suspicion that the area has turned into a haven for illicit trade of pornographic material and forgery of documents.

Indian secularism and democracy has strange connotations. The communists breath fire about democracy; but at the behest of China they have banned protests/protest marches by Tibetans in W. Bengal. Is it not a strage kind of democracy the democracy you find in erstwhile USSR, China, erstwhile Cambodia and other communist ruled countries. Their democracy means kill and annihilate all the opposition.
In India these secular fanatics who are the real torch bearers of nazism and fascism and pamper the minority fundamentalism to wage a war aginst hinduism will never lift a little fingure against anybody who unleashes atrocities on hindus. It is their hidden agenda.

Why am I not surprised that UPA government didn't protest the Saoudi move? It was their duty to protest. And why are almost all the Indian ambassadors in muslim countries muslims? Who are these ambassadors loyal to?

I feel India is probably the most tolerant country in spite of awful politics. We are tolerant to other religions and let them have their places of worship built wherever they fancy and we have national holidays for Christian and Muslim festivals, while the vast majority is Hindus. Just give it a thought, in Saudi and a lot of other muslim countries you cannot even worship your faith explicitly, leave alone building temples or churches. Mosques are present in every single country, but how about temples?
I feel, it is up to us, Hindus to revive our religion and imbibing knowledge in children.
I would like to get in touch with the editor sometime.
No wonder about what Saudi religious police are doing by distrorying Hindu temples.
Now what is happening here in India ? The same kind of thing in worst way like including raping women in public etc and much more than that heppened and happening in Many staesof India.

Jay Shree Ganesh,
I would like to take a different route on the issue of raising awareness of Hindus, the problems lie in the basic nature in which hindu children are brought up, we have to start teaching young kids not to tolerate injustice in any form and to retaliate in exactly same language. The main problem why Hindus are NOT united is because of the way we still perceive our religion, will our priests be ready to have food alongside someone who cleans gutters or mends shoes? or someone from other religions ? no they will even try to ensure that they eat ONLY with brahmins.
Unity can come only through positive actions in normal day to day life, let us start by demolishing all castes.

We should accept all this because Indian Government has secular policies maintained in different standards. South Africa was considered racist while Saudi Arabia is considered Secular and most of the times Ambassadors appointed in Saudi are in line with Indian Govt secular policy lines a Muslim. Shame to Indian Govt and Indian Muslims who take this shame
Ak 47 anyone?
Hindus take weapons in ur hands....
Govt wont do anything to save us....
Jai Sri Ram...

1. Saudi Arabia is an Islamic country. Religious activities in Saudi cannot be compared with India.
2. Other Islamic countries have allowed practising a different religion either fully or in a limited manner. Saudi doesnt permit. One cannot question that. You'll always have a choice to leave Saudi, if you want to practise your religion.
3. Some guy is asking to preach our children to not tolerate extrimism from other religion ! You want your children to become terrorists ?? running with a gun, killing people like the jiha.dis ??? Brother, despite of all odds, Hinduism is thriving for more than 5000 years.. you need not be violent to tackle violence. just see the jih.adis and learn.(How can defending oneself and the religion amount to act of terrorism?-Editor)
