Dhaka, Bangladesh (CHAKRA) — Nine idols have been vandalized at a Kali Temple in Bangladesh by Islamists which has been standing for 200 years.

According to temple committee president, Harendranath Barman, four of the nine damaged idols were found beheaded in Sudrahabi village of Kaliganj sub-district. He is demanding the police to find the culprits and punish they as deserved for such a hate crime.

Prajit Kumar Roy, the sub-district officer in charge said that his team is out looking to arrest the culprits.

Similar incidents have taken place in the past. An ancient temple in a village near the Bangladesh capital was vandalized by Islamists a few months ago. Not only were six idols vandalized but in addition 35 people were attacked. The Sri Sri Rahshakali temple in the Ashrafdi village in Naranaganj was wrecked on February 7, during which four adjacent houses were damaged and five people were injured.

Bangladesh is a mostly muslim country with a minority hindu population.

    All Religions state LOVE HARMONY AND PEACE TO ALL LIVING BEINGS

    LOVE BEING THE KEY

    A HINDU BUDDIST SIKH TOAIST SHINTO AND SPIRITUAL SEEKER OF GOD WILL NEVER INTERFERE WITH ANOTHER PERSON FORM OF WORSHIP.
    IN VEDAS GOD SAID EKAM SATHYAM BAHOOT VENDANTAM THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUTH(GOD) BUT KNOWN MANY NAMES AND FORMS – IF MUSLIMS UNDERSTOOD THIS VEDIC VERSE THEY WOULD NEVER INTERFERE WITH WORSHIP OF GOD IN MANY IMAGES.

    IN HUNDUISM SIKHISM BUDHISM IT IS FORBIDDEN TO EAT MEAT
    MUSLIMS EAT MEAT
    I HAVE NEVER SEEN AS HINDU CONDEMN AS MUSLIM FOR EATING MEAT DUE RESPECT AND UNDERSTANDING.

    HITLER DESTOYED JEWS FOR A PHILOSOPHY. WESTERNS CREATE WAR NOT PEACE FOR SAKE OF DEMOCRACY YET BEING CHRISTIAN

    MUSLIM DESTORY IDOLS BECAUSE OF IGNORANCE OF GOD

    IF THEY KNEW ALL IMAGES IN THE UNIVERSE IS GOD THEN THERE WILL BE PEACE AS MENTIONED IN OLD TESTMENT VEDAS GITA

    I PRAY TO GOD / ALLAH / BHAGWAN / WAHEGURU / JAHWEH THE ONE GOD WITH MANY NAMES THAT HE CHANGES HIS CREATION SOON.

    REMEBER THE LAW OF GOD = KARMA
    WHAT EVER YOU SOW SO SHALL REAP – JESUS
    IF YOU DO AN ATOMS OF GOOD YOU GET ATOMS WORTH OF GOOD AND IF YOU DO ATOMS WORTH OF BAD YOU GET AN ATOMS WORTH OF BAD -QURAN

    ALL WILL SUFFER FROM GODS LAW FOR HE WANTS US TO LOVE HARMONY TOGETHER NOT HATE

    Bangladesh holds the third largest Hindu community of the world comprising more than 20 million. So we have to save this huge Dharmic population.
