“I will kill all the Hindus” said a brainwashed kid in a video posted by the handle @Exmuslimorg on twitter. In the video, a Pakistani man makes his kid display bigotry over the construction of a temple in Islamabad. Islamic Organisations in Pakistan had recently opposed the construction of Shri Krishna temple which is the first Hindu temple in the capital Islamabad. A fatwa was also issued against its construction.

The controversy over the construction of a temple in Islamabad rose after a video was posted on social media, wherein two kids, of about 5 or 6 years, were heard giving death threats to Hindus alongside with their father. The Pakistani man was seen taking pride in the venom spewed by his kids.
In the video, a man tells that his son has a message. One of the two says, “Khan sahab, agar Islamabad mein mandir bana to yeh yaad rakhna, main un Hinduon ko chun chun ke marunga. Samajh gaye? Allah Hafiz. (Khan sahab, if a temple is constructed in Islamabad, then remember, I will kill all Hindus one by one. Understand? Allah Hafiz.)” The other, the much younger kid next to him, too chimes in and endorses his brother. The man identifying himself as the father of the kids then says, “See, now it is up to you.”
The Construction of the first Hindu temple in Islamabad has unleashed large-scale Hinduphobia in the Islamic republic. The construction work was stopped by the radical Islamists and the boundary wall of the temple plot was also dismantled by extremist organisations.
Another Pakistani Haider Ali commented on the post “I’m a Pakistani and I can reassure you that 90% of Pakistanis think the same way as these people do”. He further mentions “In a society which is 99% Muslim, all sharing the same beliefs and convictions, people who have been fed lies about “kaafirs” over and over, it’s hard to see how that “awakening” is ever gonna happen. Even if it happens, they cannot enjoy the privilege of sharing their opinion”.
Islamabad temple controversy
Islamists in Pakistan had recently opposed the construction of Shri Krishna temple in Islamabad, the country’s capital. A fatwa was also issued against its construction. A petition was also filed in the Islamabad High Court against the construction of the temple. Later, the boundary wall which was constructed was demolished by an Islamist who has taken a vow that he will never let a Hindu temple be constructed there.
