Turn off the Music! Don't You Know it is Ramadan?
Hat tip Vlad Tepes and Chakra News
In Uttar Pradesh, India (a predominantly Hindu nation), Muslims went on a rampage when a Hindu temple played music. When it was all over, two were dead. Chakra News has the report via Vlad Tepes.

Ramadan, of course, is the holy month of Islam, when Muslims fast during daylight hours and forego other normal pleasures until night comes. In some Muslim countries, non-Muslims have been attacked if they are observed eating or drinking during the daylight hours. This latest example, in a country where Muslims are the minority, is outrageous.
Frankly, I am getting a little bit sick of Muslims trying to impose their values on the rest of us in our own countries. If Muslims in India don't like what Hindus do, they can always move to Pakistan. Was that not the intent of the partition back in the late 1940s after India won its independence from Britain?

There were more Muslims who said "What the hell do we want to go half way across the country to live in this Pakistan for anyway? We're happy right here in India" than there were who moved to Pakistan. Those who moved, in either direction, tended to kill each other along the way anyway. Didn't you see the riot scene near the end of the movie Gandhi?
What you always leave out of these little vignettes Gary, is how widespread was this, and how well was it suppressed? I would bet that 99 percent of the Muslims in India were minding their own business elsewhere.
On the other hand, there are Hindus who marched on a Muslim mosque and tore it down in a single week on the ground that once upon a time there was a temple to Ram, the monkey god there, so they can tear it down whenever they want.
What goes around, comes around. Sensible people will not take sides for Hindus against Muslims, or for Muslims against Hindus (Buddhists are starting to act like this too, have you noticed?), but rather will condemn the specific acts, no matter what faith they are committed in the name of.
Here in America I have a Baptist friend who fasts for Ramadan. Ain't it a great country?
