Kohat Riots 1924: The Brutality by Islamic Radicals/Jihadi.


Islamophobia a term used by liberals, Islamists to wash the terrorist acts done by the Jihadis. But there's a reason why we say that terrorism has a religion because of some events. This story is of the time when thousands of Hindus were killed by Jihadis in Kohat.

In August 1924 A Muslim Newspaper published an 'Anti-Hindu Poem' in it. The poem surely hurt the sentiments of Hindus and in answer one, Jeevan Das of Sanatana Dharma Sabha issued a pamphlet where he countered the poem with facts regarding Islam, the facts that hurt the Muslim sentiments. Sanatan Dharma Sabha was in no mood to get in a brawl with the Muslim same day and then they issued a petition to withdraw the pamphlet distributed by Jeevan Das and also apologized. But this wasn't enough for the Muslim community. They wished to stretch the issue and asked the police to arrest Jeevan Das. Jeevan Das was arrested for a few days and was released after he paid the fine. The fine was 10000 Pounds. Maulavi Ahmad Ghul of the Mosque wasn't happy and They wished to stretch the issue and asked the police to arrest Jeevan Das. Jeevan Das was arrested for a few days and was released after he paid the fine. The fine was 10000 Pounds. Maulavi Ahmad Ghul of the Mosque wasn't happy and immediately called upon the men of the Muslim community. They decided to stage a protest against this incident. They took an oath over talk meaning if these men aren't successful in their job their wife will stay widowed, in simple terms, they'll either do or die for the cause of their religion AKA Jihad !.


On September 9th, 1924 group of over 1000 Muslim men gathered on the streets of Kohat The Muslim men had covered the entire city, and they were waiting for the action. The protest that initially started peacefully turned into a nightmare for Hindus. Shops were burned, houses were destroyed, men were killed, women were raped and children were abducted. Hindus were getting slaughtered like lambs, even when they had apologized. The scale at which this was happening shook the British Raj. The corpses of Hindus were lying on ground. There was blood all over the city. The Jihadis were shouting fanatically and giving their slogans of 'Allah HU Akbar'. Nearly, the entire Hindu population was wiped out. It was plunder. Gandhi got the news of this incident and he gave the following statement: "The Muslim fury knew no bounds. Destruction of life and property, in which the Constabulary freely partook was general Even the Khilafat volunteers, whose duty it was to protect the Hindus, and regard them as their own kith and kin, neglected their duty, and not only joined in the loot but also took part in the previous incitement" Gandhi blamed the police but not the Muslims who killed Hindus ! and thus yet another massacre took place.


The left historians have kept this history away from us for known reasons. The main reason to write this thread is this has a close resemblance to what has happened in France. A teacher gets killed for showing a cartoon of their prophet and instead of condemning the Jihadis who killed them, they are busy justifying the act.


All those who say that Islamophobia is dangerous for humanity haven't read history or purposely tend to ignore these episodes which clearly show their intolerance.
