Hindus Fundamentalists Attack Christian Convent (Hey "Dr" Jai Maharaj, Shut the ***** Up) |
Oh I get it, your propaganda is not as mindnumbing as Christian
propaganda, that's why it's okay to try to burn down a Christian
convent.

I believe in this case the problem isn't religion but fundamentalism. Any
fundie is an unstable psychopath as far as I am concerned.

CHRISTIANS DESTROYED HUNDREDS OF HINDU TEMPLES
Jesus' terrorist mission in the Christian bible:
"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came
not so send peace, but a sword.
"For I am come to set a man at variance against his
father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter
in law against her mother in law.
"And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
- Matthew 10:34-36.

[ In the Name of Religion what Christian Missionaries
[ did in Goa.
[
[ Paul Williams Robert says in his book "Empire of the Soul":
[
[ The Spread of Christianity in Goa:
[
[ "In the wake of the warriors came the priests.
[
[ First, the Franciscans, then the Jesuits, then the Dominicans, and
[ lastly the Augustinians. It must have made their holy blood boil to
[ find their old foes, the Muslims and Jews openly and brazenly
[ practicing their religions.
[
[ The men of God set about clearing what the Dominican termed
[ this "jungle of unbelief" with the ardor of Amazon lumber barons.
[
[ Just like the mullahs who had marched into Goa two hundred years
[ before with the Bahamani sultans, these Catholic clergy were prepared
[ to go to any lenghts to spread their faiths. Initially they pestered
[ the Portugese king for special powers, then they pestered the Pope to
[ pester the king on their behalf.
[
[ The first of these special powers arrived in 1540 when the viceroy
[ received authority to "destroy all Hindu temples, not leaving a single
[ one in any islands, and to confiscate the estates of these temples for
[ the maintenance of the churches which are to be erected in their
[ places. Five years later, the Italian cleric Father Nicolau Lancilotto
[ reported that "not a single temple to be seen on the island."
[
[ The island in question was Teeswadi, the main field of operations for
[ the two priestly orders then on the scene. A glance at the absurd
[ profusion of churches standing cheek by jowl in Old Goa still conveys
[ some idea of the spiritiual excesses indulged in by these competing
[ orders of the day.
[
[ This Olympiad of Christianization scared the hell out of the locals, and
[ thousands of family fled across the river. To them, the harshness of the
[ Moghuls still governing the adjacent territories must have been preferable
[ to the rabid monomania of papist clerics.
[
[ A saying still exist in Konkani, the language of Goa:
[
[ "Hanv polthandi vaitam" (I'm leaving for the other bank ), one half
[ of its double meaning implying to this day that a person is rejecting
[ Christianity.
[
[ Although their temples had been razed.
[
[ The Hindus who remained continued to practice their religion in secret.
[ More extreme methods were therefore instituted to bring the heathen into
[ the church's loving embrace. Hindu festivities were forbidden; Hindu
[ priests were forbidden from entering Goa; makers of idols were severely
[ punished; public jobs were given only to Christians.
[
[ Soon it was announced that anyone practicising in private was declared a
[ crime. The penalty was confiscation of property. Also Hindus, dying
[ without a male heir could pass thier estates only to relative who had
[ embraced Christianity.
[
[ Death was no easier than life for Hindus in mid-sixteenth-century Goa.
[ To them, the cruelest piece of legislation passed by the Portugese
[ prohibited cremation of the dead - an inviolably sacred part of Hindu
[ faith. As a result, death had to be kept a secret; the wailing grief of
[ the women had to be smothered; family members had to go about their
[ business as if nothing had happened; children were sent out to play,
[ washing was done, work was performed - all as usual.
[
[ In the dead of the night, a boat would be loaded with firewood down
[ on the riverbank, then the dead body would be placed on it, covered by
[ more wood.
[
[ The pyre would be set alight and the boat pushed out to drift on the
[ river's currents as the funeral party ran back into the safety of
[ shadows.
[
[ The missionaries simply could not grasp that another people's faith
[ could be as dearly cherished as deeply embedded as their own.
[
[ The missionaries obviously had no idea how resilient Hinduism could
[ be, and indeed is. It had survived Islam's scimtar, and it would
[ survive the sword that so much resembled the cross in whose service
[ it was now employed.
[
[ Total of 200 temples had been demolished.
[
[ * * *
[
[ Says Andre Corsalli to Giuliano de Medici Jan 6, 1516
[
[ " In a small island near this, called Divari, the Portuguese,
[ in order to build the city, have destroyed an ancient temple ...
[ which was built with marvelous art and with ancient figures wrought
[ to the greatest perfection, in a certain black stone, some of which
[ remain standing, ruined and shattered , because these Portuguese care
[ nothing about them. If I can come by one of these shattered images,
[ I will send it to your Lordship, that you may perceive how much in
[ old times sculpture was esteemed in every part of the world."
