Israel’s Ambassador to Germany Ron Prosor slammed a rally of mainly five hundred German Muslims who on Saturday blasted calls for the obliteration of Israel and Jews in Berlin.
Prosor wrote on Twitter in German: “These idiots abuse Germany’s freedoms and unreservedly call for the annihilation of Israel and the Jews. They flout democratic values in [Gemany], not only crossing every possible red line, but also ‘spitting in the brown [fascist] well from which they drink.’”
The reportedly antisemitic march unfolded in two Berlin neighborhoods with a large Muslim presence, Kreuzberg and Neukölln, and centered on the current controversy on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Palestinians barricaded themselves in al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount in violation of the rules of the religious compound.
The organization democ posted a video of the antisemitic rally and wrote participants are chanting “death to Jews” and “death to Israel” and yelling “antisemitic slogans and glorifying terrorism.”
The German Jewish expert on antisemitism, Henryk M. Broder, wrote last week that Berlin’s commissioner to combat antisemitism, Samuel Salzborn, seems to have misguided priorities in the city-state’s fight against antisemitism. Broder wrote in his column for the large daily broadsheet, Die Welt, that Salzborn spent the last two years largely focused on renaming streets that had been originally named after antisemites.
Germany’s system of antisemitism commissioners to combat Jew-hatred has been plagued by scandals. The Simon Wiesenthal Center urged commissioner Gerhard Urlich from the state of Schleswig-Holstein to resign due to his alleged antisemitic sermons against Israel while serving as Bishop of the Protestant Church for northern Germany. A court in Hamburg declared that the commissioner for the southwestern German state of Baden-Württemberg, Michael Blume, can be termed antisemitic due to his attacks on German Jews and one of Israel’s Zionist heroes, Orde Wingate, a founder of the IDF.
Martin Arieh Rudolph, chairman of the Jewish community in Bamberg, Bavaria, issued a public letter last month, criticizing the head of the Green Party in Baden-Württemberg’s parliament, Andreas Schwarz, as well as Blume, for their failure to tackle Islamic-animated antisemitism in the state. Rudolph lambasted Blume for his alleged incompetence.
West Bengal in Bharat has already turned into jihadist launchpad mostly because of Islamist appeasement policies of chief minister Mamata Banerjee and her Trinamool Congress. While under communist rule, West Bengal became dens of Naxalite terrorism, Mamata Banerjee’s misrule has been turning this Bengali-dominant Bharatiya state into mini Afghanistan.
According to media reports, after conducting raids at various locations in West Bengal, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) recently detailed two Muslims namely Merazuddin Ali Khan, a resident of Bokaro, and Mir Mohammed Nuruzzaman, a native of West Bengal’s Birbhum district. The arrested individuals were linked to the seizure of a massive cache of electric detonators in Birbhum in June 2022.
Following the arrests, NIA representative said, “While Mir Mohammed Nuruzzaman had supplied 27,000 kg of ammonium nitrate to Rintu Sheikh, Merazuddin Ali Khan had provided electric detonators and gelatin sticks to Rintu”.
The agency has also confirmed that in July 2022, West Bengal’s Special Task Unit raided Birbhum district’s Mahammad Bazar neighborhood – a Muslim-dominated area — and detained a minivan carrying 81,000 detonators. The officials have confirmed that the detained Muslim jihadists were planning an explosion, but that the authorities succeeded in foiling their plots.
The NIA statement further added that after the cache of detonators was seized, the mini-van driver was arrested and led the officials to a stash of illegally stored explosives. Apart from 27,000 kg of ammonium nitrate, they also found 31,625 kg of gelatin sticks and 2,325 electric detonators.
Ammonium nitrate is an ingredient used for making bombs. The quantity of this explosive recovered from the detainees was enough to flatten massive areas. To understand the degree of threats posed by ammonium nitrate in the passion of Muslims in West Bengal, we need to look into the case of the 2020 Beirut blast.
On August 4 2020, a large amount of ammonium nitrate stored at the Port of Beirut in the capital city of Lebanon exploded, causing at least 218 deaths, 7,000 injuries, and US$15 billion in property damage, as well as leaving an estimated 300,000 people homeless. A cargo of 2,750 tons of the substance (equivalent to around 1.1 kilotons of TNT) had been stored in a warehouse without proper safety measures for the previous six years after having been confiscated by the Lebanese authorities from the abandoned ship MV Rhosus. The explosion was preceded by a fire in the same warehouse.
The blast was so powerful that it physically shook the whole country of Lebanon. It was felt in Turkey, Syria, Palestine, Jordan, and Israel, as well as parts of Europe, and was heard in Cyprus, more than 240 km (150 mi) away. It was detected by the United States Geological Survey as a seismic event of magnitude 3.3 and is considered one of the most powerful accidental artificial non-nuclear explosions in history.
According to experts, had the Muslim jihadist been successful, the 27,000 kg of ammonium nitrate, which could lead to the energy release of close to 11,000 kg of TNT, was enough to blow up the entire state of West Bengal and adjacent areas.
From the above description, it can be easily assumed that radical Muslims are taking secret preparations of jihadist massacre targeting the Hindu-majority Bharat, while Islamic apologists such as Mamata Banerjee as well as a number of propagandists in Bharat and the West are catering fictious stories of Muslim genocide in Bharat with the agenda of distracting attention of the international community towards threats posed by radical Islam and jihadism in the country.

In the aftermath of violent clashes that occurred on Sunday in Jamshedpur, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has alleged that a masked mob came out of an Iftar party to target a temple. The Iftar party has been claimed to be organized by Chief Minister Hemant Soren’s party Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM).
Section 144 has been imposed in Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, following the violence and mobile internet services have been temporarily suspended.
Reportedly, a violent mob targeted a temple and engaged in acts of arson and stone pelting against two nearby shops. Additionally, an autorickshaw was set ablaze. The police have detained several individuals, and a significant police presence has been deployed to the area. Some Hindu organizations have accused the administration of taking one-sided action.
According to media reports, the incident is from Shastri Nagar in Jamshedpur. Religious slogans were shouted during the attack on the Hindus. The controversy started on Saturday when a piece of meat was tied to a Hindu religious flag. Hindu organisations protested alleging that the flag was desecrated and demanded strict action against the accused. As soon as the information about the protests of Hindu organisations came, the people on the other side also started mobilising, triggering clashes between the two groups.
The Internet has been shut down in the Kadma area, which is said to be most affected by Sunday’s violence. Section 144 has been imposed in some areas. Jamshedpur’s SSP Prabhat Kumar has informed us that some people have been taken into custody and the situation is under control. Jamshedpur’s DC has appealed not to share any kind of misleading and provocative things on social media.
VHP’s Jamshedpur District Officer Sanjeev Kumar told OpIndia that on March 9, two JMM leaders Pawan Kumar and Babban Rai had organized an iftar party in the locality adjacent to the temple that was targeted during the violence. He claims that the crowd that came out of this Iftar party, wearing masks on their faces, first pelted stones at the temple and later set fire to the nearby shops.
Speaking to OpIndia, Sanjeev Kumar accused the administration of one-sided action. He said that the district administration had warned Hindus not to play DJ etc. on Ram Navami. DJ units were also seized. On Saturday, the meat bag was hung on the flag of the temple.
Sanjeev Kumar told, “The administration is hesitating to take action against the people of the other side because of the coming of Eid. Around 10 people have been arrested from the Hindu side, including VHP campaign chief Uttam Das and Bajrang Dal city convenor. Raids are going on to arrest many other Hindu leaders. Hindus are the easy target here.”

When India was liberated from British rule more than 75 years ago, the territory was divided, or partitioned, into India and the new state of Pakistan; East Pakistan later became Bangladesh.
The British oversaw the partition along with the newly appointed Indian and Pakistani leaders in their respective newly formed nations.
British civil servant Sir Cyril Radcliffe drew up the borders between India and Pakistan, in 1947, dividing the sub-continent very roughly into:
But Hindus and Muslims were scattered throughout British India.
Hence, after the declaration of the partition, more than 15 million people traveled, often hundreds of miles, to cross the new frontiers to their respective nations. It has been called the largest exodus in human history.
Almost 75 years later, history may be repeating itself.
Last October, the United Kingdom swore in Rishi Sunak as their new prime minister. Sunak’s parents are Indian Hindus who migrated to the U.K. from East Africa. Sunak was born in Southampton in 1980. His father was a doctor, his mother was a pharmacist. He went to the boarding school Winchester College, then studied Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at Oxford, and business at Stanford University in the U.S.
Sunak was first elected as a Member of Parliament in 2015, rose quickly, and was made Chancellor of the Exchequer in February 2020 under then-U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
He was one for the records, or the glass ceilings that were broken. Sunak is the first British Asian and first British Indian prime minister.
Meanwhile, last month Humza Yousaf was elected leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP) which made him the first minister of Scotland, which is part of the United Kingdom. The first minister is the head of the Scottish government, the equivalent of a prime minister. The word ‘prime’ means first.
Yousaf’s father is originally from Pakistan and emigrated from there to Scotland with his family in the 1960s, while his mother was born into a South Asian family in Kenya.
After studying politics at Glasgow University, he briefly worked in a call center before becoming a parliamentary assistant to a member of the Scottish Parliament and later an aide to former first minister Alex Salmond.
Yousaf made history as the first ethnic minority leader of a devolved government and the first Muslim to lead a major U.K. party.
Upon being elected as the 14th leader of the SNP and first minister of Scotland, Yousaf announced his intention to deliver Scottish independence and even demanded a referendum. The last referendum occurred in 2014 when the people of Scotland elected to remain with the United Kingdom.
Yousaf said: “The people of Scotland need independence now more than ever before, and we will be the generation that delivers it.”
He even emphasized that Scotland is a European nation and added, “I was determined then, as I am now, as the 14th leader of this great party, that we will deliver independence for Scotland – together as a team.”
In response, a spokesperson for Prime Minister Sunak acknowledged the election result and claimed to be looking “forward to working with him (Yousaf).”
However, Sunak’s office rejected his request for another independence referendum, citing the need to prioritize issues such as inflation, the cost of living, and hospital backlogs that affect Scotland as well as the rest of the U.K.
More than 75 years ago, the British oversaw the partition of India.
The British may once again oversee a partition, only this time it will be a British Hindu leader of Indian origin and a British Muslim leader of Pakistani origin who may supervise the partition of the United Kingdom.
The obvious difference of course is that this partition will be done via a referendum – the people of Scotland will have to vote to break away from the U.K.
Despite the potentially serious nature of the situation, many observers could help notice the irony.
If the partition occurs, it will have consequences in the James Bond universe, Sir Sean Connery and Sir Roger Moore may no longer be from the same country.
Victim was rushed to hospital after being stabbed outside a church in Nottinghamshire, England, on Easter Sunday, an alleged assailant has been arrested.
A man described as being a regular churchgoer was stabbed as he left the Easter Sunday mass at St Stephen’s Church in Sneinton, a suburb of Nottingham. He was rushed to hospital for emergency surgery but is not now described as being in life-threatening condition.
The alleged knifeman, reports The Daily Telegraph, is a 20-year-old male who had visited the church “two or three times” before the attack and has been arrested. Police say they do not believe there is a wider threat to the public, implying they think the attacker worked alone, and that they were not treating the stabbing as what the law-enforcement community euphemistically calls a ‘hate crime’.
Local paper the Nottingham Post reports that police Tactical Support Group vehicles were deployed to the area and cites police officer Detective Chief Inspector Mark Dickson who said of the incident: “Officers were called to Dale Street, Sneinton, earlier today… An investigation has since been launched to establish what happened and, despite the large police presence in the area, I’d like to reassure the public that there is no wider threat to the community.”
