They hate everyone, they even bomb and kill members of their own groups.
In the United Kingdom's Wembley, last week, a Hindu temple became the scene of a potential hate crime, as a man reportedly reciting Quran verses tried to throw a sacred idol and smashed a lamp (diya).
On Saturday (Jan 6th), a black man wearing a hoodie and a face mask entered the Eelapatheeswarar Alayam Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva in Wembley, England, with his shoes on, despite being stopped by the devotees and temple volunteers.
As per Rajasingham Jayadevan, the founder and general secretary of the temple, the man was initially stopped by volunteers and devotees who asked him to remove his boots and pull down the hoodie, but he refused to listen and left the temple premises.
However, he came back and went to the side of the temple where the deities were placed. There, he grabbed a Goddess Laxmi Deity with the intent to throw and smash it, Jayadevan further said.
The volunteers, however, managed to hold the idol and no damage was caused to it.
"One of the devotees and our volunteers managed to restrain him after he became extremely aggressive, and were successfully able to catch the murti (idol) which was thrown," he said, as per an X post by INSIGHT, a community of British Hindus and Indians.
"He then went to Navagraha (nine deities) stand and there were brass diyas (lamp) there. He smashed one of the Navagraha structures and tried to shake one of the Navgrahas," Jayadevan was quoted as saying by Times Of India.
"During this time, he was reciting Quranic verses," he further claimed.
