‘Islamic Mobs Are ..,’ Islamist Radicals Attack Bangladeshi Hindus, Demand Ban on ISKCON, American Journalist Slams Global Media Silence

Bangladesh Violence: A sharp rise in radical Islamist mob violence in Bangladesh has sparked fear among the Hindu minority. The alarming situation has drawn international attention, with American journalist and activist Amy Mek criticising global media outlets for ignoring the atrocities against Hindus in Bangladesh. Mek’s strong condemnation has brought the issue into the spotlight, urging human rights organizations and global leaders to act.

American Journalist Amy Mek Questions Media Silence

Amy Mek’s social media post painted a chilling picture of the escalating violence. She revealed that Islamist mobs in Chittagong chanted, “Catch Hindus one by one and slaughter them!”—a direct threat to Hindus and members of ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness). She also said, "Islamic Mobs Are Hunting Hindus in Bangladesh While the World Turns Away."

Mek sharply criticised the global double standards in media coverage, stating: “If Christians, Hindus, or Jews were targeting Muslims, wouldn’t it dominate every news channel? Why is the world silent when Hindus are hunted like animals?” Her statement resonated with many, exposing the stark disparity in how global media addresses violence against religious minorities.

Escalating Attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh

The political turmoil following the removal of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has led to heightened violence against Hindus. Extremist groups have accused Hindus of supporting the Awami League government, targeting their communities with brutal attacks. Temples have been vandalised, homes burned, and deities desecrated in what appears to be a systematic campaign to erase Hindu presence in Bangladesh.

The Indian Ministry of External Affairs expressed concern over these incidents, condemning the Bangladeshi authorities for their failure to protect minorities and prosecute offenders.

Arrest of ISKCON Leader Sparks Protests

Adding fuel to the fire was the arrest of ISKCON leader Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari on sedition charges. His detention, coupled with the rejection of bail, triggered mass protests in Dhaka and Chittagong.

American singer Mary Millben joined the chorus of criticism, calling on global leaders to intervene. “The attacks against Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh must stop. Religious freedom and safety for all faiths must be preserved,” she urged.

Further tensions arose when a petition filed in Bangladesh's High Court demanded a ban on ISKCON, accusing the organization of fundamentalist activities and linking it to the alleged murder of a government legal officer.

Global Silence Draws Criticism

The absence of a strong response from global leaders and human rights organizations has deepened frustration among the Hindu minority. Even Bangladesh’s interim government, led by Mohammed Yunus, has remained notably silent on the violence, despite often speaking on social issues.

Amy Mek summed up the sentiments of many: “Where are the so-called champions of human rights? The world’s silence is enabling this brutal campaign of violence.”

Time for Global Action

The plight of Hindus in Bangladesh highlights the urgent need for international intervention. Voices like Amy Mek and Mary Millben have ignited conversations, but real change requires the global community to step up and hold perpetrators accountable.
