I think this hate monger gave this statement in error in place of saying "Hindu Killers are with BJP and good Hindus are with Congress + other parties". this hate monger has given this statement in frustration smelling defeat in Karnataka in next election.
"with us or with enemy" is infamous dictum of Fascism & Nazism. This gutter mouth only repeating it. India had Varnashram (Chaturvarn), but now we have PANCHVARN i.e. Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaisyas, Shudras and SAFFRONISTS ( the last varna is neither humans nor animals but worse than demons, damned liars, anti-women, anti-nationals and terrorists of worst kind. Check the speech / action of any Sanghi to verify the truth.
Devils also see Muslims as threats to his plan of taking the humanity to hell forever..Wake up guys There is only ONE GOD ALLAH, Know about OUR CREATOR who created U Me and all that exists and When U know your LORD U will definetly recognise the supporters of the devils. Dont fall trap to such leaders and commit voilence and killing people by the orders of the agents of the devils. When death comes no Agents will come to save U if u have committed attrocites against Humanity.
