Religicide - The deliberate cleansing thru a variety of techniques including mass murder.
Religious Cleansing /Mass Murder of Christians -Sikhs /Tamil/ Bahia's & other Muslim Minority Sects - Terror Attacks - No Govt action to prevent or apprehend- Middle East and other Countries - State sponsored Murder & suppression.
We in the West have witnessed this time and again - Christians /Religious Minorities targeted by another religion - resulting in mass murder - State sanctioned terror against Sikhs - Tamils -Christians and other minority Religious sects within a Country.
Some are perpetrated by fundamentalists - But many have the tacit or implicit and active support of the ruling Govt - Iran is yet again a clear example of Religicide.
Religicide - My personal definition as there is no Dictionary that recognizes this term. A word must achieve general and wide usage before it is accepted and is then defined.
State sponsored suppression of a specific religious group. A religious minority / sect/ offshoot of but not always the dominant religion within a State that may /will have strict religious beliefs and the interpretations of the majority / of the religion that controls the instruments of Power - Religion of that country considers these minorities to be heretics. Saudi Arabia is a clear example -
Examples include countries that have a massive majority of the population adhering to one particular branch of a religion. Where the dominant religion considers the minority beliefs to be heretical and against Gods will according to the dominating religious belief. Found in many countries in the Middle East /African Govts. Sudan /Nigeria as it is mainly Muslim in one area and Muslim in the other - Conflicts /Mass Murders arise where they meet over a number of things.
Found in many countries even those that proclaim they are democratic - India is one such country - where individual basic human rights are lacking, the basic protections and fundamental rights according to the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights of man and other safeguards found in a Western democratic country.
Countries where the Govt is controlled / influenced or an agreement is made to govern and sanctioned by religious figures - Again Saudia Arabia when it was founded. Using their Religious domination to arrest, torture, execute Religious minorities – prevented from attending schools of higher learning or subjected to strict quotas for employment, entrance to University , Govt Employment.
Using Religious differences to control the civilian population rather than address the issues of corruption, education. jobs, free expression, they use murder, imprisonment with or without a show trial. Followed by extreme sentences up to and including execution.
Actions by a Government to ostracize persons of a particular religious belief.
State sponsored pogroms - where the State either ignores or turns a blind eye or willingly participates -where specific religious groups are targeted for violent repression including mass murder. Court systems are rarely used to prosecute the perpetrators as many are controlled by the Govt. Again the Mass Murder of Sikhs in India is one clear case that has never been independently investigated. Reason many people in the Govt and other powerful organizations led and controlled the mass murder of Sikhs. - Egypt is another with the support of the Govt regarding attacks on Copt's who make up approx 10 % of the population
Active suppression approved by the Govt including exclusions for schools of higher learning, the ability to become members of an established and Govt recognized profession, business groups and trade unions or other similar groups and or organizations.
The active persecution resulting in “show trials” resulting in excessive jail terms and up to and including torture to gain confessions and sentenced to long prison terms or capital punishment.
Found in many Muslim countries, Malaysia along with India and - exception China - As China does not have a State Religion excepting the ultimate Power of the State - Religious beliefs are found to be in conflict with the Power of the State and are considered a threat to the Communist Party Elites resulting in many of the violations of basic Human Rights. Note the State sponsored persecution, long prison terms and executions of the Falun Gong. Rumour still persist that the Chinese Govt used members of the Falun Gong for forced organ removal, then they were sold. The prisoner would either die of be executed. This has not been fully proven or shown to be false.
India - Sikhs and Muslims and Christians have been killed by Hindu believers while only lip service is played out by the Govt in apprehending and prosecuting those that not only master mind the Murders but also sit in India's parliament. No action has ever been taken to apprehend these individuals. Why - They hold powerful positions within the Govt or are important religious figures.
The Mass Murder of Sikhs by Hindus after India Ghandi was assassinated is only one example of the complicity of the Indian Sate in the mass murder that was committed.
Christians in the Middle East have victimized by mass murders, violations of basic Human Rights, State Sponsored Terror - Iran and Egypt are just 2 of these countries -
