[Reported as seen]
A Muslim woman in Bahrain was seen throwing and breaking several Lord Ganesha idols in a shop while cursing out loud. Reportedly, the burqa-clad woman is 54 years old, a resident of the country, and the video is of a supermarket in Juffair, Manama. The woman, speaking in Arabic, is heard purportedly saying, “This is a Muslim country”. The incident also evoked a strong reaction from the royal advisor Ahmed Al Khalifa who condemned it.
Indians are the biggest expatriate group in Bahrain, with an estimated 4,00,000 people out of nearly 13 lakh population. According to a 2010 census, Hindus comprise 9.8 percent of the population in Bahrain.
Being very much upset with the Hindu community that took the matters up into her own hands.
