Malaysian Hindu demonstration at 10 Downing on Friday, 1st

1. Malaysian Hindu demonstration at 10 Downing on Friday, 1st February, at 11am to 2pm Malaysian Hindus, a two million minority in Malaysia, are sufferring religious persecution under the new "lite-taliban" policies of the corrent Government.

HINDRAF (Hindu Rights and Action Force) of Malaysia have organised a protest opposite Downing street at 11am this Friday to present a petition to the Prime Minister at 2pm.

Hindu temples have been destroyed and damaged, irrespective of their age. An EDM was raised by the Hon. Stephen Pound MP to raise the issue in the UK Parliament last month.

31 protestors were arrested in the peaceful march at Kuala Lumpur on 25 November 2007, of whom 5 still remain under detention. HCUK requests all to support this silent protest against the human rights violations of not only the Hindu minority but other religious minorities of Malaysia also.

HCUK's General Secretary, Anil Bhanot, said that the Taliban ideology which destroyed the Bamiyan Buddhas needs to be challenged for re-education. He said, "If God ever commanded not to worship idols then it was in reference to the idols in one's own heart, the idols of obsession to some self-centred ideologies and not those of selfless devotion to the wonderful facets of the all-loving one Absolute God."

We appeal to the world communities to help stop the lite-talibanisation of the Malaysia Government through trade and other means. Please come to the protest this Friday and if working then at least in your lunch hour.

2. My Take: The protest at 10 Downing Street, is right on the money. " Down with the Islamist Government of Malaysia. "

3. Silence only gives the seal of approval, to the uncivil actions of the Taliban-Type government of Malaysia, which seems to be suffering from a nostalgic glow, of past Islamic conquests across continents. The tyranny, torment, and torture of Non-Moslem Infidels ( Kafirs ) in Malaysia, is neither defendable, nor acceptable nor tenable, in the 21st century.

4. If the government of Malaysia does not mend its ways, then the Hindus of Malaysia, would be forced to defend their interests via stronger means, by organizing themselves along lines of LTTM ( Liberation Tigers Of Tamil Malaysia ).

5. Hindus of Malaysia cannot and will not allow, the legalized loot and murder of their co-religionists.
