“Bangladesh: 17 houses of Tripura Christian community burnt down in Bandarban district when the villagers were in church for Christmas,” OpIndia, December 25, 2024:
There is no end to the attack on religious minorities in Bangladesh which started after the Muhammad Yunus-led interim govt took charge following the fall of the Sheikh Hasina government. In such a distressing incident coinciding with Christmas celebrations, 17 houses belonging to the Tripura Christian community were set ablaze in Bandarban’s Lama Upazila.
Notably, Tripura Christian refers to people belonging to the Tripura community who follow Christianity.
As per reports, the attack occurred in the early hours of December 25, while residents were away attending prayers in a neighbouring village, as there is no church in their village. There was nobody in the village when the attack took place.
The affected village, New Betachhara Para in the Tongjhiri area is located in Ward No. 8 of Sarai Union of Lama Upazila. The villages had gone to nearby Tonggyajhiri village on Wednesday night to participate in Christmas celebrations. The miscreants took advantage of their absence to torch the homes, resulting in the complete destruction of 17 out of 19 houses in the village.
Gungamani Tripura, one of the victims, expressed his devastation, “Our houses have been completely burned to ashes. Could not save anything.”
Notably, the victim families belonging to the Tripura community have been residing in the Tongjhiri Tripura Para area for several generations. But they were forcibly removed from their homes a few years ago when some people claimed that the area had been leased out to the wife of a police officer and planted trees there. However, after the fall of the Awami League government, they came back to the village and started living in makeshift houses.
At around 12:30 am on Wednesday, the villagers attending Christmas payers in the neighbouring village saw a fire blazing in their village and rushed to their village. But by the time they reached, 17 of the 19 houses were completely gutted. All houses in the village were made of bamboo and straw, therefore the houses burnt quickly….

Aren’t these the same Christians who received a warning letter from the scummy mozlums, threatening them if they had their festivities?
The only good part is that the people were not burned alive in their homes.
May God do to the perpetrators exactly what they deserve.
May the Christians keep their faith in God and not give in to despair, and may He “make a way out for them in order for them to endure.”.

Exactly what I thought, they should be thankful that they still have their lives!! Homes like theirs, can be rebuilt!
But then again, why won’t they leave? Because these evil islamic scum could come back, the next day, and they wouldn’t be so lucky then! Burning down their homes, should be a “Here’s your sign!” kinda thing to LEAVE there!
somehistory says
They most likely are thankful to still be alive. My point wasn’t that they should be grateful, but that the mozlums wouldn’t have cared if they had burned them alive.
And how can they “leave”? They are so poor their houses are made of bamboo and straw. They have no money to leave. And where would they go? The entire country is controlled by the same mozlum scum who burned their homes.
They would have to actually leave the country, and that may not be possible for them.

The cruelty of Muslims knows no bounds.
The stupidity of Islam is only exceeded by its cruelty.

When Trump comes to office, he should put Bangladesh on a no-travek list until they get their shyte together, and stop allowing and encouraging persecution of Hindus, Christians and other non-Muslims.
I used to prefer buying Bangladeshi-made clothing over Chinese-made clothing, but now I’m not so sure.

You beat me to it: Bangladesh should be on the Travel Ban list come February (I’m assuming it won’t happen in the first 10 days)
I have always boycotted Bangladeshi products, since they have been persecuting minorities throughout their history. Thankfully, the only place one has to bother about their products is apparel, and some niche ethnic foods. Since those are the only places you’ll find them, please boycott. Whenever you buy apparel, check the “Made in” label. If it says Bangladesh or China, keep looking. You should get plenty made in other countries, like Guatemala, Honduras, Vietnam, Lesotho and a whole bunch of other relatively innocuous countries
As for Chinese, I wish I could boycott them, except that every brand name decided to offshore their manufacturing to China, making that impossible
abu taleb says
If people don’t go to mosques, then their houses should be burnt as what Muhammad would do. So burning the Christians’ houses is a noble deed in Islam. Muhammad is realy the role model for muslims for any evil doing.
Hadith No: 609
From: Sahih Bukhari. Chapter 43, Quarrels
Narrated/Authority of Abu Huraira
The Prophet (SAW) said, “No doubt, I intended to order somebody to pronounce the Iqama of the (compulsory congregational) prayer and then I would go to the houses of those who do not attend the prayer and burn their houses over them.”

Bitte, bitte. Könnte mal jemand den Pontifex in Rom über das Schicksal seiner Schäfchen informieren !

What? You mean the millions of those who are blind, deaf, and dumb, because they follow him, and worship him, STILL, when the pope has been following Satan since the first day he was in office, and it shows so plainly, when he does things and says things that are so against Jesus, and God?
Maybe you haven’t noticed the increase in evil with each pope lately, that has come into office? This one being the cruelest yet to God Himself?
Did you know that Satan has a trilogy, just like God has? To get people to unknowingly follow him?
With there is God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, the evil side has Satan, the Antichrist, and the False Prophet,
Now Satan is going to need a religious figure to stand beside him. Someone who is popular and very well known around the whole world. Who is is followed by, and worshipped by MILLIONS. But most importantly, almost as evil as Satan is, himself?
Who coud that possibly be, but the Pope?
And to think, I feel that I was shown, the how and when the 7 year Tribulation is going to be. And it’ll be within 4 years. Care to know details? I have them for any requests.

Excuse me, but Jesus is the One Who told us that there would be a ”great tribulation.” He told us what would come just before it begins….but He never said how long it will last. In fact, He said, “The days will be cut short.” Seven years of that would not be “short” and “no flesh would be saved.”
