You are so right
I was there in the crowd trying to see what was going on and all I saw were people having FUN... there was a lot of anger but you can't imagine the disgust I felt at people with SMILING FACES and laughing like it is a game, as they destroy a mosque the symbol of Islam.
Can you imagine? At least if it was a serious anger and people could not even control themselves, that would be a little better. But people COULD control themselves, they just didn't have the strength and courage to do it? And another thing, why was it 90% young males who were there?
I tried to plead with people, why are you doing this? All I got in return was a lot of groupthink, like "They did this to us, now we are doing it to them!" The problem is that "they" number 1 is completely different from "they" number 2.
Were they destroying the headquarters of the Army of Ansar Al-Sunna? No, they were destroying the holy place of 3.5% of their own country's population.
Shame.... on top of shame. Tragedy on top of tragedy.
What is behind this? Was this instigated by Shiv Sena people or other fundamentalist Hindutva elements? I understand the anger at the agencies of employment, since there is evidence of their corruption and they have long been profiting by selling the labor of people at too high a cost. But at Islam? There is no basis for it! It is a leap of logic that defies my imagination.
