Muslim beaten to death in India for killing a cow

A Muslim man accused of killing a cow was beaten to death by a mob in central India, police said Sunday, the latest vigilante murder over the animal considered sacred by Hindus.
Siraj Khan, a 45-year-old tailor, was attacked in the Satna district of Madhya Pradesh state early Friday and died at the scene, local police official Arvind Tiwari told AFP.
Kahn’s friend Shakeel Maqbool, who was also attacked, was admitted to hospital with critical injuries.
As details of the violent assault emerged at the weekend 400 additional police were deployed to the district late Saturday as inquiries widened, the Press Trust of India reported.
“We have arrested four people, and they have been sent to judicial custody. We are investigating what prompted the attack” Tiwari said.
He added that meat and a bull carcass was found at the scene, but did not elaborate as investigations were ongoing.
Hindus consider cows sacred and slaughtering the animals, or possessing or consuming beef, is banned in most Indian states.
Cow slaughter in Madhya Pradesh carries a maximum seven-year jail term but many other parts of India impose life sentences for infringements.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has promised to completely outlaw cow slaughter in India.
The right-wing Hindu BJP has been accused of turning a blind eye to a rising number of vigilante attacks in the name of cow protection.
Rights groups say Hindu mobs have been emboldened under the party, who stormed to power in 2014. Many of the victims are Muslims.
In two prominent cases last year, a dairy farmer was killed on a roadside for transporting cows and a Muslim teenager accused of carrying beef was stabbed to death on a crowded train.

India is not France or Belguim.. Do not mess with them.

 

And all that in a first-world country? WTF!!

 

I guess in India a moo-fat* is more valuable than a moo-slim.

Not that I blame them.

I suggest Muslims change their attitude and abolish the teachings of that thug Muhammad for good.

* aka cow

 

Poor cow...

 

There is one Hindu temple in India packed with rats, so I don't look favorably on them. They have so much potential, it's a pity they can't discard their false gods out of ethnic pride.

 

I guess killing a sacred cow in india is like drawing a cartoon of mohammed in the middle east, or even in europe?

Hinduism is much older than islam. And have not tried to by force spread their religion as islam has.

Leave their sacred cows alone. Respect their religion in their own nation. Or move to pakistan.

 

so you condone this horrible act of bigoted violence?

 

funny, I always thought the Orthodox Christian god was the false god.

 

seems some folks here respect cows more than Muslim life

 

BINGO!!!

 

How about respecting nation's laws?

 

human life is worth more than cow life.

...unless he is a Muslim?

 

Nazi Germany made it a crime for a Jew to have relations with a German.

should that law have been respected?

 

Maybe, have to wait for the facts to come out.

 

No argument there.

 

under what circumstances should a Muslim be murdered by a mob if he slaughters a cow for food in India?

 

I'm sure it was

 

do you condone a Christian being murdered by a mob in Iran, if he slaughters and eats a pig?

sounds like it

 

Apparently, if they slaughter a cow for food in India.

 

Ronstar,

Stop being fixated on religion of the perpetrator - if he was Chinese or Christian, he'd as surely as Muslim be lynched. Expand your views, will yea?

 

and you find such a practise acceptable?

 

Hindus and Muslims often hate each other.

if this was a Jew he'd probably still be alive.

 

AN idiot Muslim behaved himself in India, like a bear in a china shop. No, I do not condone his killing, but he should have known better.

Is all there is to it.

 

Regardless if I find it acceptable or not, I'll not be killing cows, in India.

Obey the laws...

 

For killing a sacred cow? In India? Think, they'd stop and ask for Jew's religion before they proceed to kill him?
