The destruction of non-Muslim sites and all those that are considered objectionable on Islamic grounds is a hallmark of Islamic takeovers throughout history.
“Bangabandhu museum destroyed, Sheikh Mujibur Rehman’s residence burned to ashes: How Islamists in Bangladesh are wiping out the nation’s history and identity,” by Shraddha Pandey, OpIndia, August 6, 2024:
Bangladesh has descended into utter chaos as Islamists have taken over the country after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned from her post and left the country. While violent protests and vandalism have been rampant since July, on the 5th of August, the violent protestors destroyed several Bangladeshi historical heritage sites in their bid to wipe out the legacy of “Bangabandhu” Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
Several heritage sites associated with Bangladesh’s founding father, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, were vandalised during the recent conflict.
On Monday, the unruly mob destroyed the Bangabandhu Memorial Museum in the Dhanmondi area in Dhaka. This museum was dedicated to Hasina’s father, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, who was assassinated in 1975.
Similarly, the protesters in Dhaka climbed atop a large statue of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s father and hammered the statue’s head with an axe. Who would have thought that one day the very people Mujibur Rahman sought freedom for would destroy his legacy?
Notably, back in 2020, it was reported that two Madarsa students vandalised Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s statue in Kushtia after being influenced by the anti-sculpture statements from Hefajat-e-Islam leaders Mamunul Haque and Faizul Haque. Clearly, the ideology behind the assassination of Rahman was very much active in the country over the years and has ultimately taken over Bangladesh.
The unrest, which started as a student movement against the quota system, soon witnessed the involvement of opposition parties like Jamaat-e-Islami and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), fuelling widespread chaos and destruction.
Bangladesh was established in 1971 to escape the horrors committed by Pakistan’s military and Islamist radicals during the Liberation War. The ongoing vandalism of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s legacy contrasts sharply with Pakistan’s attitude towards its historical and cultural heritage. Pakistan, motivated by Islamist fundamentalism, frequently targets and destroys its ancient heritage sites, even ancient monuments thousands of years old, because the Islamists believe idols are ‘haram’.
Interestingly, while the usual suspects describe Sheikh Hasina’s departure as a “democratic takeover” and “liberation,” it is in reality, Pakistan’s ultimate victory. After decades of teaching false history to pat its own back despite no military achievement whatsoever, Pakistan finally has a victory to boast. Bangladesh was not liberated on the 5th of August 2024, but rather trapped back under the shackles of Islamist terrorism, communal hatred, discrimination, anarchy, and destruction….
The destruction of Mujibur Rahman’s heritage sites in Bangladesh is a cruel irony: a country founded on the need to escape Islamist tyranny is now grappling with similar elements of fanaticism and violence….

Islam is evil, invades, destroys the culture & builds or reuse buildings for mosques. Islam means submit or death if you do not. Islam has no issue with killing people that are not Muslim to wipe out a culture. It is in their book called Reliance of the Traveller: Islamic Sacred Law…read it.

I pointed this out yesterday, but one thing notable about Sheikh Mujibur Rahaman was that in 1946, he was an aide to the architect of another attempted Hindu genocide in what was then the province of Bengal – a jihadist by the name of Hussein Suhrawardi. So when I saw the videos of his statue being pulled down, a la Saddam Hussein, or in this article, his museum being vandalized, my only response is that cliche about a bitch named Karma
The only thing I care about in this story is the persecution of Hindus (as well as Buddhists & Christians, the other 2 minorities in that ??. Which is more than can be said about India, which currently has more Bangladeshi muslims than Bangladeshi Hindus within its borders. Geert Wilders has paid more attention to this genocide than Modi, which should explain why many Hindus now recognize the latter as a Gandhi-style traitor to Hindus
