“At a time when democracy is under threat around the world, we should be applauding and supporting India’s democracy,”

When democracies are under threat, we should celebrate the biggest threat to a democracy?

Righto Andrew Charlatan.

This week footage was shared on social media showing a group of young men marching through Harris Park shouting Hindu chants that have been used in vigilante attacks on Muslims in India.

lol, all I hear are normal slogans, I didnt hear anything remotely specific to Muslims.

Salutations(Jai) to Sri Ram(god)
Salutations to Mother India(ironic)
etc. On similar vein.

Neither their rally nor their using the chant used by Hindu extremeists in India to terrorise minority religions is normal.

The only abnormal thing I see about this is that really cringy af, other thing i would probably complain about is noise.

Are you just labelling a large portion of the world as terrorists just because you dont understand what they are saying?

I understand very well what they're saying and what you're doing. The chant they're using is the chant used by violent Hindu supremacists to incite fear and hate in India's minority religions.

Hindu supremacists use that chant as a battle cry while inciting & commiting acts of communal violence to terrorise India's minority religions (primarily, Muslims & Christians). They force Indian Muslims to say their chant and then lynch them to death. They used it while they burned Australian missionary doctor Graham Staines and his 2 little boys alive.

Islamic terrorists like ISIS misused 'Allahu Akbar' for the same purpose, to inspire hate & terror.

You are minimizing this act of terror by Hindu supremacists in Australia and by doing so are supporting Hindu extremeism in Australia.

Damn this is concerning.

We need a serious crack down on religious extremism in this country.

Shit just a general crackdown on religion in general as they always lead to this shit.
