A few days ago, Bengali film actress and Trinamool Congress MP Nusrat Jahan had posted a picture and video of herself dressed as Goddess Durga to celebrate the festival of Mahalaya. However, a short while after sharing them, she was met with widespread criticism, including swear word and even death threats from a sizeable online contingent of radical Islamists from both India and Bangladesh, who felt that she was bringing the religion into disrepute and crossing boundaries as a Muslim. Taking to her official Instagram handle, she posted the photo and captioned it: “Shubho mahalaya... সকল কে,” while the video was captioned: “#BTS #shootlife #mahalaya #durgapuja .” Check them out below: Also Read - Ranbir Kapoor’s beef comment to Aamir Khan mocking Hindu gods in PK; 5 times Bollywood celebs landed in trouble for allegedly hurting religious sentiments

A post shared by Nusrat (@nusratchirps) on Sep 16, 2020 at 7:46pm PDT

Nusrat Jahan's post was soon followed with vile comments by the likes of Instagram user, Sagar Hossain, asked, “Tui ekta Muslim hoye kiser jonno Hindu der support korich (Why do you support Hindus despite being a Muslim?),” another, Mohammed Anowar wrote: “Muslaman hoye haath e ata ki. Nauzubillah (How can you have this in your hand when you are a Muslim? Nauzubillah- Seek refuge in Allah),” while yet another user, Nurtaj commented: “Muslim er name colonko. Muslim hoye erokom post amra dekhte chai na (You are a blot on the name of Muslims. As Muslims, we don’t want to see such posts.)” Also Read - Trending TV News Today: Fans remember Sidharth Shukla on his first death anniversary, Nusrat Jahan to be on Bigg Boss 16 and more

It continued. Other users wrote: “Are you know what are you doing you are a Muslim,” and “Tor moroner somoi asa gecha. Allah tale ke bhaoi karo aar nijer sorir dekhe rakhta paro na chi chi chi (Your time of death has come. Fear the Allah. Can’t you keep your body covered? Chi Chi Chi).” Spewing more venom, Amanullah and Sakib posted: “Ami confused ei sali Hindu naki Mulsim (I am confused whether this bit*h is a Hindu or a Muslim),” and “Apni Musalman hoye (How can you do this being a Muslim?),” respectively.

In more hate, one IvIvas wrote: “Naam ta Nusrat Jahan na rekha akhon theka Nusu Das/Ghosh/Sen agulo koren (Change your name from Nusrat Jahan to Nusu Das/ Ghosh/Sen – basically Hindu names),” while another, Mohammed Jalal Hossain commented: “Apni Muslim name Saitan. Musalman Saitan toh dekhe na. Aapnare dekhle Saitan dekher saad mita gesa (You are evil in the name of Muslims. Even though Muslims can’t see evil, yet, my desire to see it has been fulfilled through you).” Condemning her to hell, alisk217 wrote: “Chi Muslim hoyeo apni asob korchan lojja bolta apna ki kichu nei chi chi chi…. Jahannami mohila…. Ni lojjo maya allah sob dakcha (Shame on you for doing this as a Mulsim. You have no shame left in you. You are condemned to go to Jahanam aka Hell. No shame. Allah is watching everything).”

The world is really being overrun by hate these days.
