Muslim mob prevents Hindus from building a Kali Temple in their own land
Saturday, Sept 16, 2008, Beldanga, Murshidabad, W Bengal, India
Hindu families in Beldanga, West Bengal failed to get law enforcement support to build a Kali Temple in their own land.
Nearly two thousand Muslims threatened to riot and destroy property, unless Hindus withdrew their plans to build a Kali temple on property donated by the local Hindu families. Reports suggest that even though the temple would have been more than half a mile away from the nearest Islamic building or neighborhood, Muslim community members could not be convinced to agree to the temple. The local Hindu community leaders have decided to take the matter to higher authorities.
