Hindus ‘paid for Christian murders’ in India

Hindus ‘paid for Christian murders’ in India

EXTREMIST Hindu groups offered money, food and alcohol to mobs to kill Christians and destroy their homes, according to Christian aid workers in the eastern state of Orissa.

The allegations follow the British Government’s refusal to prevent members of two radical groups linked to the worst anti-Christian violence in India since Partition from entering Britain.

The US-based head of a Christian organisation that runs several orphanages in Orissa, one of India’s poorest regions, says Christian leaders are being targeted by Hindu militants.

“The going price to kill a pastor is $US250 ($390),” said Faiz Rahman, chairman of Good News India.

A spokesman for the All-India Christian Council said: “People are being offered rewards to kill, and to destroy churches and Christian properties. They are being offered foreign liquor, chicken, mutton and weapons. They are given petrol and kerosene.”

    Understand one thing. India is a hindu nation. It has been plundered and raped for centuries by muslims and christians. Temples have been destroyed…forced conversions to Islam and christianity were carried out. How much were these muslim and christian scoundrels paid? In many countries like malaysia even in india hindu shrines have been burnt or demolished and hindus beaten and killed. Who’s doing anything about all these? India is a hindu nation..there’s no question about it. We hindus are too welcoming af anyone and want to live in peace,,,but others are not making this possible.
