This same story has played out all over the world. It’s always a land dispute that carries a much greater significance than most people realize. Most observers will assume that this is about competing property claims. Most people don’t realize that this is Islamic jihad, which is all about displacing non-Muslims from their land and making it Muslim land.
“Dinajpur: Kali temple and Christian cemetery vandalised over land dispute,” by Sumon Corraya, Asia News, April 21, 2026:
Dinajpur (AsiaNews) – Fresh sectarian violence broke out in Bangladesh, as tensions simmer and critical issues remain unsolved.
On Saturday, in northern Bangladesh, a temple dedicated to Kali, and its adjoining crematorium were vandalised and set on fire while a Christian cemetery was attacked. At least six people were injured, fuelling ongoing tensions connected to a long-standing land dispute.
The incident occurred near Sanka Christian Para, a tribal village in Palatpur Union, Birganj Upazila, Dinajpur District. The village is part of the Parish of Nijpara (Diocese of Dinajpur).
Local sources report that, the Kali idol was destroyed during the attack and then thrown into a nearby cornfield. Three Christians and three Hindus were injured when locals attempted to resist the attackers.
According to residents, the attack was led by a hired group led by Rezaul Islam, son of Abdul Kader of Ghoraband village, and his uncle Azad, son of Azgar Sahaji.
The attack was part of an attempt to seize lands traditionally used by the indigenous Murmu and Soren communities.
Birganj Police Station Chief Saiful Islam confirmed that the dispute concerns title to land claimed by Rezaul Islam, part of which includes the temple and the cemetery.
The officer noted that tribal families insist they have lived on the land for generations, while Rezaul Islam recently claimed he owns it.
The police chief reported that, around 1 pm on 19 April, a mob of about 200 people, allegedly led by Rezaul Islam and Azad, attacked the temple and the cemetery in order to take over the land.
The attackers vandalised the statues inside and outside the Kali temple using sticks, iron rods, and sharp weapons, felled a dozen trees in the cemetery, and damaged a nearby house.
When members of the indigenous community attempted to stop the desecration, they were beaten, resulting in several injuries.
Police arrived after receiving a report and dispersed the attackers. Afterwards, they deployed patrols to prevent further violence and seized material useful for the investigation: among the objects recovered were destroyed statuettes and idols, along with other evidence….
Speaking to AsiaNews, Antony Murmu, a Catholic and head of the village of Sanka, explained that the cemetery belongs to the Christian community, while a Hindu shrine and the Kali temple stand next to it.
“They first vandalised the Kali temple and broke the idols,” he said. “Then they began cutting down the trees in the Christian burial ground. When we tried to stop them, they attacked us. Three Christians and three Hindus were injured; two of them are in hospital with serious injuries.”…
