Hindus ‘hurt’ as Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shown as Vishnu idol

January 13, 2016

New Delhi, Jan 13: Fortune Magazine cover page has shown Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos as a Hindu deity in its January issue, thus hurting the religious sentiments of the NRI community in US.

JeffIn the illustration, drawn by artist Nigel Buchanan, Bezos has been portrayed as Lord Vishnu, holding lotus in one hand and showing the amazon logo in the other palm.

The US based magazine's cover story titled “Amazon Invades India,” is about the global e-commerce giant's penetration into the Indian market –one of the fastest growing markets for Amazon.

It may be recalled that India's legendary skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni also courted controversy in 2013 for appearing in an advertisement on the cover of Business Today as Lord Vishnu holding a number of things.

A case has been registered against Dhoni under section 295 (injuring or defiling place of worship with intent to insult the religion of any class) along with 34 of the IPC.

ALLAH says in QURAN : O mankind! Worship you Lord (ALLAH) who created YOU and those were before YOU, so that you may become Al muttaqun (Pious).
When ALLAH says he is your LORD.. Intelligent person will try to look & learn what ALLAH says & VERIFIES what he says & if not confirmed he experiment what he Says.
BE one of this INTELLIGENT Person... U will be successful in the eyes of the one who gave LIFE & DEATH.

It is true it hurts our people.

Secondly : It is our Hindu brother's mistake, they are portraying God as men.

The God can not be like human being or any other creature.
The God is creator of everything and almighty. Then how can the God be given the picture of man.

If there is no picture, then nobody can play around with God.

God help us to understand you, your strength, your power and your guidance to all of us so that we succeed here and hereafter.

Bellary, Jan 4: A BJP MLA has apparently threatened 'minority' Muslims against participating in anti-CAA protests, saying that opposing the new Citizenship Act will not be good for them and they will have to face serious repercussions.

"It's just a caution for those who are protesting against the CAA (Citizenship Amendment Act). We are 80 per cent and you (Muslims) are 18 per cent. Imagine what will happen if we take charge," MLA Somashekar Reddy told a gathering here on Friday.

"Beware of the majority when you live in this country. This is our country. If you want to live here, you will have to, like the Australian Prime Minister said, follow the country's traditions," he added.

He said: "So, I warn you that CAA and NRC are made by Modi and Amith Shah. If you will go against these acts, it won't be good."

Continuing to spew venom, the MLA further said, "If you wish, you can go to Pakistan. We don't have any issues. Intentionally, we would not send you."

He said that the community should live in harmony with Hindus. "If you will act as enemies, we should also react like enemies," he said.

Earlier, Bengaluru BJP MP Tejaswi Surya reportedly called CAA opposers as "puncturewalas".

The nation has been witnessing massive protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC). But Prime Minister Narendra Modi has specifically stated that the NRC was never discussed.

Reddy,

 

This is not your father's country nor any other's father's country.

Eh desh kisika baap ka naheen hai.

 

All have sacrificed to liberate this nation.

Your  Gundagiri will not succeed. See soon the result.

 

To goto Pakistan, we  have choice to go or not. But you don't have choice.

 

Your brain also black, we don't what about the color of your heart.

 

Jai Bharath, Jai all countries
