'Absurd': India's widespread crackdown on Muslims saying ‘I Love Muhammad'
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/absurd-india-cracks-down-muslims-saying-i-love-muhammad(www.middleeasteye.net)Indian authorities have arrested thousands of Muslims and demolished buildings in a widespread crackdown targeting expressions of faith. The actions were initiated in response to Muslims displaying banners and social media posts with the phrase 'I love Muhammad,' which authorities claim threatens public order. Originating from a dispute during a religious festival in Kanpur, the crackdown has spread across several states, with rights groups reporting thousands charged and hundreds arrested. Police have made numerous arrests and local authorities have employed 'bulldozer justice,' demolishing properties of the accused without due process.
