The Qur’an suggests that the destroyed remnants of ancient non-Muslim civilizations are a sign of Allah’s punishment of those who rejected his truth: “Many were the Ways of Life that have passed away before you: travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those who rejected Truth.” (Qur’an 3:137) The ruins of non-Muslim civilizations thus bear witness to the truth of Islam. What ensues from that idea? The creation of more ruins.
“Pakistan: Hindu temple desecrated, idols destroyed in Karachi,” OpIndia, December 21, 2021:
In another case of destruction of Hindu temples in Islamic Pakistan, a Durga temple has been attacked and Goddess Durga idols vandalized in the Narayan Pura area of Karachi, Pakistan. As per reports, this is the 9th attack on Hindu Temples by Pakistani Islamists in 22 months.
Video of the attack circulating on social media shows that a head of a Durga idol was severed while another idol of the Hindu Goddess was badly damaged. Reportedly the torso of a Durga idol was also broken during the attack and the temple was completely destroyed.
A man identified as Muhammad Waleed Shabbir has reportedly been arrested as per Pakistani media. One Hindu man, Mukesh Kumar, who was in the temple with his wife, saw Muhammad damaging the statues with hammer. Eventually the police were alerted and an FIR was registered against him. The areap in which the temple stood is inhabited by poor and low income Hindu families who protested outside police station stating they were feeling unsafe and demanded security for Hindus….
Notably, from the 365 Hindu temples in Pakistan, only 13 were being looked after by the Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB) in Pakistan and the responsibility of 65 temples were with the persecuted Hindu community while the remaining 287 were abandoned and practically given to the land mafias.
