In Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh, India, we are witnessing yet another act of Islamic aggression rooted in a long history of religious domination. A court-ordered survey of the Shahi Jama Masjid, allegedly built by the Mughal emperor Babur after destroying a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu, turned violent when a Muslim mob attacked the survey team and police officers, leaving two men killed and several others injured. Thousands joined in—men, women, and even children—throwing stones, setting fires, and injuring law enforcement in a coordinated attempt to suppress the investigation.

This violent uprising in Sambhal is not an isolated event; it mirrors a global pattern of Islamic terror that undermines national sovereignty and cultural identity, making it relevant not just for India but for nations worldwide.

The survey, ordered in response to a petition filed by Supreme Court advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain, claimed the Jama Masjid was originally a Hindu temple named Hari Har Mandir, dedicated to Bhagwan Kalki, the last avatar of Lord Vishnu. The site holds immense religious significance for Hindus and is a protected monument under the Ancient Monuments Preservation Act of 1904.
This is not just a protest but a violent rejection of truth, justice, and history. The attack is a deliberate act to prevent Hindus from reclaiming what was taken from them centuries ago. And it is not an isolated incident—it is part of a larger historical and ideological pattern of Islamic conquest and triumphalism.
The Pattern: Building Over Conquered Cultures
Islam’s history of conquest is marked by the destruction of sacred sites belonging to other religions and the deliberate construction of Islamic structures on the ruins of preceding cultures. Time and again, mosques have replaced temples, churches, and synagogues as symbols of domination. This is not coincidental but a calculated act of erasure meant to humiliate and assert Islamic supremacy over the conquered.
- In India:
- Babri Masjid (Ayodhya): Built after razing, a temple marking the birthplace of Lord Ram, one of the most revered Hindu gods. Its demolition in 1992 was the culmination of decades of Hindu frustration over historical oppression.
- Gyanvapi Mosque (Varanasi): Erected after partially destroying the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, one of Hinduism’s holiest shrines. The mosque’s very existence is an open wound for Hindus.
- Shahi Idgah Mosque (Mathura): Constructed over Krishna Janmabhoomi, the birthplace of Lord Krishna, another deeply sacred Hindu site.
- Globally:
- The Dome of the Rock (Jerusalem): Built over Judaism’s holiest site, the Temple Mount, as a bold statement of Islamic conquest. To this day, Jews are barred from praying on their own sacred ground.
- Hagia Sophia (Istanbul): The greatest Christian cathedral of the Byzantine Empire, seized and turned into a mosque after the Ottoman conquest, erasing its Christian identity.
- The Great Mosque of Cordoba (Spain): Built over the Christian Church of St. Vincent after Muslims conquered Spain, symbolizing their domination over Iberian Christians.
- Modern Examples in the West:
- The Cordoba House Proposal (New York City): A mosque planned near Ground Zero after the 9/11 attacks was provocatively named after the Great Mosque of Cordoba—a blatant nod to Islamic conquest in Spain. It was seen by many as an attempt to turn the site of tragedy into a symbol of triumph.
Why Sambhal Matters
What is happening in Sambhal is not just about one mosque or one city. It is a continuation of the same strategy used for centuries: conquer, erase, and dominate. Hindus have endured this for generations, and the Shahi Jama Masjid is another reminder of their historical subjugation.
The violent resistance to a court-ordered survey is another example of Muslims in India resorting to mob rule to suppress the truth. This is not just about land or buildings—it’s about rewriting history to deny Hindus their heritage and rights. By attacking the survey team and police, the mob sent a clear message: they will not allow the truth to come to light, even if it means resorting to terror.
Emerging No-Go Zones: Sharia Supremacy in Action
The events in Sambhal are part of a disturbing pattern seen across India: the creation of no-go zones where Muslims have seized de facto control, negated the rule of law, and undermined the sovereignty of the legitimate government. These areas operate outside the rule of law, where Indian governance is rejected, and Islamic laws—often Sharia-based—are enforced in their place. Non-Muslims, particularly Hindus, are excluded or harassed if they enter these zones, with devastating consequences for communal harmony and national integrity.
During the violence in Sambhal, Muslims from nearby areas joined the mob, raising religious slogans and resorting to arson, further demonstrating how these zones act as rallying points for radical elements. Speaking about the stone-pelting, BJP MP Kangana Ranaut recently exposed the reality of these zones:
“It is no more hidden that not only Sambhal but there are a lot of places in our country where Hindus are not able to enter. In such areas, people are trying to implement Sharia laws, and refugees are being given fake identities… We can see the importance of our mantra ‘Ek hain to safe hain’ [If we are united, we are safe] and ‘Batenge to katenge’ [If we divide, we will be cut]. We have to stay united in our country.”

Her statement highlights a grim truth: Sambhal is not an isolated incident but a symptom of a larger problem. These zones have become breeding grounds for Islamic terror, where efforts to enforce Indian law are met with hostility, violence, and outright defiance. The mob in Sambhal, fueled by jihadis, proves that such zones are not merely lawless—they are anti-national spaces actively undermining the nation’s sovereignty.
The Global Parallel
This tactic isn’t confined to India. Across the world, Muslims use violence, intimidation, and tactical symbolism to assert dominance over other cultures. For instance, days of rage are organized in response to any perceived disrespect toward Islamic symbols or scripture, as defined by them.
Whether it’s the construction of mosques on sacred sites, demands for special privileges, or violent reactions to perceived challenges, the goal remains the same: to project supremacy, silence dissent, and force non-Muslims into submission.
In Europe, this pattern has manifested through the emergence of lawless no-go zones, areas where local laws are ignored, and Islamic law (Sharia) is imposed by organized Muslim communities. These zones, found in cities like Paris, Brussels, and Malmö, operate outside national legal frameworks. Non-Muslims face harassment or violence if they enter, and law enforcement, along with emergency services, is often attacked for attempting to enforce order or provide assistance. These zones mirror the lawlessness witnessed in Sambhal, where a Muslim mob rejected Indian legal authority, resorting to violence and terror to suppress the truth and preserve the dominance of the mosque, built on the ruins of a conquered Hindu temple.
From the riots in Leicester to the growing influence of no-go zones in European cities, the refusal to integrate and the push for dominance follow the same historical script. The events in Sambhal are not isolated; they are part of a global strategy to undermine state sovereignty and impose Islamic supremacy.
From the riots in Leicester to the growing influence of no-go zones in European cities, the refusal to integrate and the push for dominance follow the same historical script. The Sambhal incident serves as a stark reminder of how Islamic supremacy fosters parallel systems of governance, undermining national sovereignty and erasing cultural identity.
Western nations must pay attention. The same radical ideology fueling violence in Sambhal is at work in their own backyards. Whether it’s the rejection of national laws in India or the establishment of parallel systems in Europe, the ultimate goal is the same: to create pockets of control where Islamic dominance erases the rule of law, cultural heritage, and societal integration.
Stand Up for Truth
What happened in Sambhal is not just an attack on Hindus—it’s an attack on history, justice, and the rule of law. It’s time to call this out for what it is: Islamic aggression rooted in a centuries-old strategy of erasure and conquest. The brave police officers and the court-ordered survey team are fighting not just for Hindus but for historical truth and justice.
The world must not remain silent. Sambhal is a reminder that appeasement emboldens radicals. Whether in India or the West, the answer is clear: stand firm against Islamic aggression, uncover the truth, and refuse to let history be erased, or your land will be conquered.
