Fundamentalist Christians Target Hindu ‘Clerics’ – Chiristian Terrorism?

It is a known fact that one of the things fundamentalist Hindu groups are peeved about is that Christian missionaries convert locals, especially the Adivasis, of India to Christianity. In fact, some radical Hindu groups have even gone on rampages recently in Orissa, and in Karnataka, destroying Churches and killing Christian priests.

Christian missionaries have traveled far and wide to “spread the word of Christ” and hence caused many to convert to their religion. Of course, conversions are a two way street. Hindu leaders (such as Sri Sri Ravi Shankar) and organizations (such as ISKCON)   have been preaching their word in the Christian dominated West for centuries now.

There, of course, will be resentment by the chauvinistic fringe of the dominant religion with any ‘outside’ force that challenges their hegemony. Here is proof of the aggressive stance taken by radical Christian organizations in the ‘West’. The following letter was delivered to the Indian Embassy in Australia by a group known as “Global Christian Brethern United“. In fact it is chilling in its claims, which includes the responsibility of murder of a Hindu priest and threats of more murders to come. They even claim that what they plan to do will make Taliban look meek. I was lucky to chance upon it.

Here is an incomplete excerpt from the letter above:

“Hail be the supremacy of the Christian religion. The one and only true religion, the one and only almighty world power which your farcical government already dances to like a fucking stupid puppet pulled by strings! … (the  government power of your country) is in our hands, the one and only supreme power that paves the way for us to do as we please. … zealout (sic) swamis who stand in our way. The chilling murder of the Hindu temple priest is a true example of our capabilities and capacity to rule supreme without retribution. You idiots! The world fears the violence of taliban and muslim terrorists but their acts are nothing compared to he forthcoming systematic treacherous annihilation that will rid the world of those who blaspheme! Including those pagan hindu clerics that visit western shores … to convert our children of Jesus Christ to become hindus under the guise of yoga! … they will be stopped and the fetid stench of their burning flesh will deter others from following in their footsteps…”
