'Sufi' Jalaluddin Rumi - his bottomless hatred for anything Hindustan & Hindus; questioning as to why this islamic BIGOT is held out to be a virtuous & pious soul and an unifier of faiths, preaching universal brotherhood & all that... Thread (1/14)

Rumi considered Hindu to be always ugly, black & of evil omen - and 'on occasions has compared Hindu with unclean black dog.' Off Annmarie Schimmel: The Triumphant Sun. (2/14)

Rumi always treated Negros and Hindus in the same vein of disdain & hate. As also Jews. He says, the mirrors would reflect their ugliness where as Turks would see their beauty in the reflection. Despicable racism; but what does one expect from a Sufi? (3/14)

Rumi saw the whole [non-islamic] world as a Hindustan that must be destroyed in 'Turkish Style.'

(and we celebrate this Rumi in our Sufi festivals - and our erudite liberals swoon at the very mention of this mystic master, oh my!) (4/14)

"The Hindoo burnt a mirror in vexation, saying, 'This mirror causes a man to look black-faced.' (Rumi's Masnavi-i-Manavi, Book2, Verse2688)

So much love for the Hindu. (5/14)

'To the colour of the Hindoo what is the difference between soap and black vitriol?' (Masnavi, Book1, Verse2765)

A brilliant commentary on the nature of the Hindu, by a great Sufi - pouring venom and vitriol. Thanks!

(6/14)

Ah, 'Fraudulent Hindu!' (Masnavi, Book1, Verse2198)

So is a typical Hindu characterized & stereotyped, by our Rumi, the beloved of all pious and sanctimonious preachers of love, brotherhood and what not! (7/14)

According to Rumi:

Hindus would always be miserable whether they are in this world or in the next - but 'Turks' would be glorious. Thanks!
(Masnavi, Book1, Verse3524,5) (8/14)

Of course Elephant is an imagery - but according to Rumi, when it dreams of Hindustan, it becomes unmanageable and Vicious! Oh my! (masnavi book3, verse4202)

...But have Hindus ever been vicious to ANY 'Sufi' leave alone to this mystic scum, Rumi? (9/14)

Rumi: It is hopeless; villages are ruined in Hindustan, no tax collection possible from them, such is the anarchic state when an Elephant dreams of that Hindustan.(masnavi book5, verse1892)

But, what about the huge riches that were stolen by Turks and Mughals/Mongols? (10/14)

The sign of a person 'beholding' Hindustan is that when he wakes up - he becomes MAD, sayeth Rumi. (masnavi book4, verse3080)

Now wonder, the Indic people are so mad that, they even appreciate the spiritualist 🙄in the scumbag Rumi. (11/14)

Rumi: Hindus/Indics are all asses, since they never went abroad & improved themselves - and instead, stayed back in Hindustan, these asses cannot dream about Hindustan of course. (masnavi book4, verse3080)

What a nice opinion! No wonder Bharatiyas all revere the Sufis! (12/14)

One can go on and on about the rank bigotry, racism, (in)humanism & dastardliness of Rumi -but then, is there ANY exception to the rule that Sufis have mainly been Indophobes, who committed massacres of the Hindus when they could not convert directly + destroyed temples? (13/14)
