Attracts on Muslims recently increased in India  

RELIGIOUS NEWS AGENCY (REDNA) – A series of attacks against Muslims in India has been reported this week.

The BBC reports that on Monday a mosque was set on fire and a Muslim cleric killed during religious clashes that broke out after a procession by Hindu nationalist groups in the northern Indian state of Haryana.

Also on Monday, The Hindu reports that an Indian Railways security guard shot dead a colleague and three Muslim passengers on the Japiur Mumbai express train, quoting a railways inspector saying this was a hate crime and the dead were targeted because of their religion.

The former director of Human Rights Watch, Kenneth Roth, tweeted that it was a bad week for Muslims in India, with disturbingly little press coverage.
