The plight of Revathi
Revathi Massosai, a self-declared Hindu woman, was recently released from a six month period of detention at an Islamic rehabilitation centre in Malaysia, in an attempt to ‘bring her back into the fold of Islam’. She accused the authorities of mental and physical torture during her 6 month ordeal and says that she will never return to Islam now. She has only been released on the condition that she will live with her (Muslim) parents, failing which she could be detained once again…

I believe that Revatki is a brave woman who is steadfastly fighting for the human freedom to choose his/her religion. I think she needs internation help and support in her endeavour to obtain freedom from the shackles of a religion that she never professed toin the first place.. Devinder Thakur

Typical Islamic behaviour, the world revolves around them and their religion. They moan about islamaphobia, over here, they should take a good look at how they treat people in their own countries.

this is what happens in islamic countries to hindus. in pakistan, hindu girls are kidnapped, raped, and forced to convert and marry muslim men. same with bangladesh.

Revathi is the Shakthi of the Hindu Dharma: She is holding on to Hinduism against hopeless odds. If she succumbs it would not be her fault. Rather it is the world and the Hindu establishment in particular that should bow its head in shame for not rendering her any support..
I wish Revathi peace, happiness and victory.
Om Namo Shivaya…

The Hindu diaspora is a wealthy one. We should hit countries countries that persecute Hindus where it hurts by not buying their goods, services or holidays in their countries.
Malaysia has high economic ambitions - it will hurt them.

Man, that’s a really shocking piece of news.

This is what gives ISLAM a very bad name. Every human being should have the freedom to practice and worship what he or she believes in.

“This is what gives ISLAM a very bad name.”
what are you talking about mistry, these types of things (opression of kaffirs, as they call non-moslems) are sanctioned by islamic scripture.

It is tragic times such as this story of Revathi, whereby courage and bravery is illustrated - yet what use when the Hindu communities/establishments etc do not stand behind them with full support ..?
Praying & wishing for her success & victory are unfortunately not enough in the world we live in today, as Devinder Thakur has pointed out.
People in such positions within the Hindu community need to start demonstrating why they are exactly where they are.

I personally am an atheist, though I respect the right of people to practice their religious faith. What is going in Malaysia with women like Revathi Massosai and Lina Joy is an atrocity. While I do not believe in the existence of any gods, I absolutely detest Islam! These Sharia police busybodies need a good a** kicking!

terrorising people and making them submit to the fundamentalists is the
chosen path of Islamic fundamentalism . Let alone this self appointed
protectors of the holy faith , what happened to Taslima Nasreen in the
biggest democracy in the world - india is a shameful blot on human kind
more heinous than the cruellest mental tortuours inflicted on free minds
ever since Socrates , Every Muslim may not be a terrorist but every
terrorist has this M-connection . May Allah save these misguided jealots.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I highly salute our great brave sister Revathi Massosai who challenged the Islam crucial act. A big Shame to those particular organizations that never take initiative to help out this lady especially the related organization in her own country. However its open a step to other suffering Hindu’s to come forward and fight for their rights. There is always someone to help us, such as in this case the HHR involvement and other brave individuals contribution.
Our Hinduism never asks or forces anyone to profess Hindu religion. It only requested every soul in any form of leaving to pray to the GOD in whichever way or through religion they wish. The only ultimate goal is surrender we to GOD and get bless for mukti. This is just a simple thought given by our Hindu religion. It is just because Hindu religion never created by anyone but born itself and in fact nobody knows the history of when it was started.
There is nothing to complain about other religion because all the religion never thought bad things. It is only the people who professing that religion make the havoc, creating problems for self and political affairs. Can these religions challenge, especially Islam, not to put restriction upon propagation of other religion among people of professing Islam? They are not dare because don’t know how many of their own religion people will move out from Islam.
Religion is a path to purify soul and not to obtain faith for self or a group of people.
Natures never ask for anything but human expect a lot from nature. Similar goes to religions that have history of born, came to the world a few hundreds or thousands years ago and look for more members.
May God bless and save all the innocent people. OM SIVAYA NAMA

Islams are becoming more powerful since they have dominated the whole politics in Malaysia….
October 23rd, 2007 at 11:43 pm
None of the muslims of Malaysia are original muslims, they are all converted from other religions. Whether be it in Indonesia, India or Pakistan very few people can claim their ancestry to Saudi Arabia the birth place of Prophet Mohamed. Shariat does not say anything as they say. It is very flexible. Islam certainly allows other religions to coexist with them.
These mulla, who interpret the shariat to their own advantage. Islam, they say is a peaceful and loving religion. How it becomes the religion of the terrorists is shocking.

Menon did you read the Quran & Hadiths that you are so confident in your pronouncements or is that more commie propaganda?
It’s well known Islam only allows people of the book (i.e Jews & Xtians) to live as Dhimmis (non citizens) in lands conquered by Muslims as long as they pay Jizya, the rest like the Hindus & Buddhists are to be wiped out, please read the Quran & Hadiths before you repeat PC platitudes.

I agree with Harish.
Imagine a picture of two brothers both extending the arm of love to peaceful loving people. Behind the two brothers, though, is a scene of carnage, rape, murder…In front these brothers are beautiful, in actuality they are evil. They destroy the person they claim to love.
So many ideologically savvy persons extend the hand of friendship in interfaith organizations, sufi metaphors, and talk of equality. But once in the fold, the converted is but another lamb to be slaughtered, another skin to hide the wolf.
The christo-islamic brotherhood and their cousin, communism, are hell bent on destroying hinduism, science, and free thought. Many a pretty face is painted on this ugliness but those who study history and the texts of these ideologies know better.
Even the founder of the Mormons said that the churches before the Mormons were an “abomination” before god. These evildoers know their history but chose to ignore it - avidya by choice. This must be the definition of himsa (something all animals tend for while that which is human tends for ahimsa and vidya).

Agree with Sudip. Did not realise Malaysia was so backward!!! To stop these kind of events from happening it is of the utmost importance that Hindus start participating in Malaysian politics.

UK has blasphemy laws giving protection ONLY to Anglican church and Jesus etc. The British Monarch is, officially, the head of the Anglican church too.
Missouri wanted or wants xianity as state religion. Many states in USA have blasphemy laws protecting xianity, but do not recognise blasphemy against Hinduism. In US opening of Hindu temples can be blocked by the local pastor. Most cases end up in courts.
Greece outlaws cremation as satanic.
Russia does not allow opening of a Hindu temple if the bishop objects. But tyhen it persecutes catholics too, whom it calls RAPACIOUS WOLVES.
Austria does not recognise a religion as VALID if its adherents are fewer than 20,000. So many Hindus are not there, as Austria does not allow entry of Asians easily.
In pacific a non xian place of worship is CANNOT be opened. Period.
Germany tried for a EU ban on Hindu and Buddhist Swastika. It is another matter that it did not succeed.
In all the xian dominated country, a Hindu cannot display swastika, not visibly. Moment a passerby notices it there is a hell. I recall a case in New Zealand, where a Hindu was forced to erase swastika from his door, as it was noticed by the passersby.
See http://caosblog.com/1671
Which are the other countries who actively or subtly persecute Hindus??
September 28th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
R.C Sharma you have any source for saying some US states have blasphemy laws?
AFAIK Texas has a discriminatory legislation stating that those who don’t believe in God can’t become the governor or something to that effect but I am not sure if its implemented.
At any rate even if those laws exist no one takes them seriously, most of the founding fathers (Jefferson, Paine, Franklin etc) were themselves “blasphemers” and had no belief in xtian mumbo jumbo, Paine wrote a famous book titled “The Age of Reason” attacking superstition in general and xtianity in particular.
But u r right about mandir consturction being blocked based on flimsy pretexts in US.
Add Fiji to ur list as well as Malaysia and India itself along with the usual suspects such as Pakistan and Bangladesh.
