Indian right-wing Hindus reject Norway killer's praise



NEW DELHI — India's right-wing Hindu groups on Wednesday rejected lavish praise heaped on them by Norwegian gunman Anders Behring Breivik in his online manifesto.
Breivik, who killed 76 people in twin attacks last week in Norway and was described by police as a Christian fundamentalist, hailed India's Hindu nationalist movement as a key ally in a global struggle to contain the spread of Islam.
But Breivik's ringing endorsement and his call for support from hardline Hindu groups angered nationalist Hindu organisations such as the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and Vishwa Hindu Parishad (World Hindu Council).
"Breivik's act of killing innocents is reprehensible in the strongest possible words. The attempts to link it to the Hindutva movement are also equally reprehensible," said RSS spokesman Ram Madhav.
"Violence has never been our ally and it will never be. Breivik's gory act should be condemned by everybody."
Breivik, who called himself anti-Muslim, expressed his support for Hindutva -- a comprehensive umbrella term that encompasses the Hindu nationalist movement in India.
The movement regards Islam as a foreign element and aims to unite Hindu society.
Breivik endorsed the views of right-wing Hindu groups and criticised the Indian government for "appeasing Muslims".
Senior leaders of the VHP also distanced themselves from Breivik.
"Linking European right-wing thinking with the most ancient Hindu cultural ideology is absurd," Praveen Togadia, VHP international secretary general, told AFP.
The right-wing Hindu organisations said they have had no contact or correspondence with the Norwegian extremist.

Lets not blame Islam for the acts of some barbarians

The same can be said about the Nazis. Most of the German atrocities during WW2 were perpetrated by SS , but that didn't stop the allies from carrying out collective punishment because if you don't speak up you are tacitly giving approval to the regime for their actions.

There was an incident during WW2 when an American military contingent came across a concentration camp. Overcome by the inhuman crimes carried out in the camp, the American commander rounded up the neighbours living next door and made them clean the camp and their inmates. Some of the neighbours protested that they had no idea what was going on inside the camp and should be spared from witnessing the horrors that it holds for which the commander replied that this is their punishment for not questioning the authorities or not inquiring themselves what was being carried out in that particular place.

Would one not call this act of collective punishment insane?

People get insane through collective hysteria.

But does that mean you club all Muslims to be barbarians?

No.
