Plus, 1000s of Hindu temples have been desecrated. Hindu idols used as footsteps of Mosqμes & in toilets.
Hindu idols desecrated and most ancient Hindu temples of North India are in ruins.
Abrahamics, whether atheist or religious, have been "desensitizing" us for 1000 years

What "desensitisation" exactly are they talking about?
When they perform such an act against powerful Abrahamics sponsored by state & having independent churches, it amounts to defiance.
When they perform it against Hindus, it amounts to oppression of the already oppressed

There is another important distinction.
Hinduism,like the Paganisms of Europe, is a natural religion.
Unlike Abrahamic religions which strive to eliminate preexisting belief systems of whichever land they enter
Hinduism incorporates various native folk & tribal belief systems

There is no "founder" and no "prophet" for Hinduism. It is an amalgamation of all beliefs
There exists a European culture independent of Christianity. However, Hindu dharma is so closely intertwined with Hindu culture and civilization that it is impossible to separate the two.

This is the reason why any attack on Hindu religion is tantamount to an attack on the Hindu civilization itself.
Many western atheists still call themselves "cultural Christians" and are quite defensive about their culture. Such a distinction is not possible in case of Hindus.

Hindus don't see acts of Abrahmic Atheists as much different from those of religious Abrahamics
This was also the case for European pagans. They saw not much difference between 'atheists' & 'Christians'
In fact, the word 'Atheist' was first given by Pagans to Early Christians !

The word 'Atheist' comes from the Greek word "Atheos"="without Gods".
The word was originally used for Abrahamic people like Jews & Christians who denied the existence of "ancient Gods"
To the Non Abrahamics, worshipers of "just one abstract God" seemed like extreme atheists

This is the reason why the "desensitisation' by atheists has not been well received by most Hindus.
Also, a word about Indian atheists. They do not understand that our circumstances are entirely different from those of the west.
They are blindly mimicking western atheists.

Hindu civilization has produced atheists like Veer Savarkar, but most of today's Indian atheists are blindly mimicking Sam Harris or Christopher Hitchens and translating their entire concepts in relation to Hinduism
This is a very disturbing trend.

Now, there are a few people in Dharmic Hindu wing who championed the cause of the atheist who desecrated Durga.
They claimed that he was entitled to desecrate the veneration of the Goddess under the concept of Freedom of Expression. A few words about this issue.

Yes, I totally understand and trust your commitment to Freedom Of Expression.
But please understand that the persona of the Goddess means a lot more to many people than what she means to you. You might find such a desecration tolerable, but this is extremely hurtful for many.

I will give you an example.
Will you tolerate the desecration of national Icons like Shivaji Maharaj, Maharana Pratap, Sardar Patel, Ambedkar, Raja Ram Mohan Roy etc under freedom of expression.
Even if you now say you do, I know from past experience that you don't

Freedom Of Expression is not practicable in India.
Sorry to put it crudely, but will you tolerate the abuse of your mothers,wives & family members etc under "Absolute Freedom Of Expression"?
I know for a fact that many of you threaten with 'legal case' at slightest provocation

You threaten with a "legal case" at slightest provocation and personal abuse directed at you because Absolute Freedom Of Expression does not exist in India. Legally and constitutionally
You claim to champion FOE, but actually take recourse to a system that virtually stifles FOE

If you cannot champion Absolute FOE when it comes to you, championing Absolute FOE for atheists who desecrate the Goddess is pure hypocrisy on your part.
That said, I wish to reiterate that I do not justify any abuse directed towards the family of atheist or their supporters.
It is very unfortunate that said atheist individual's mother who had absolutely nothing to do with his actions has been abused.Please refrain from such acts

To wit, any attack or objectionable remark on the Hindu Goddess is an attack on the entire Hindu community and Hindu civilization.
There is no difference. Hindus should stand together and oppose such malicious attacks. Anybody playing "neutral" even now is being a traitor

PS: There is a reason why I used blasphemy in "last 800 years".
There were a few cases before the last 800 years. One such example that of the great Shiva Bhakta Satti Nayanar who could not tolerate blasphemy. But it is uncertain if he actually killεd anyone
