Hindu Temple Desecrated by Muslims in Bangladesh

The situation of Hindus in Bangladesh is always precarious. The country is at least 90% Muslim, and any legal protection for non-Muslims is shaky at best.

Hindus are particularly vulnerable to spontaneous Islamic attacks, since they are “idolaters” under shariah, rather than “people of the book”. As Vlad points out in his introduction to the following video, Muslims in Bangladesh are simply following the example of their prophet — the “perfect man” — in what he did to the idols and idolaters of Mecca.

Many thanks to Achintya Das for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes for the subtitling:
