Prabhas Patan: A video of a Muslim man glorifying Mohammad Ghaznavi or Mahmud of Ghazni, the infamous Islamist invader, who attacked and plundered Somnath temple of Gujarat, has gone viral online. The video was shot by the man himself, at the beach from which Somnath temple is visible at distance.

General Manager of Somnath Mandir, Vijaysinh Chavda has given written complain to local Police against this unidentified man. Chavda has in his complain demanded FIR and strict action against the person who is also seen accompanied with other person in the video. According to Police Inspector DD Parmar, the process to file a complaint was on.

In the video, shot by the man himself, Islamist invaders, including Mohammad Ghaznavi are hailed, for attacking, looting and destroying the temple. The man also urges fellow Muslims to read about their “glorious history” and make others read about it as well.

The man further says that though the present history brands Mohammad Ghaznavi and Mohammad Bin Qasim as thieves and dacoits, they should be remembered for bringing “glory to Islam”.

“This is the Somnath Temple, which was conquered by Mohammad Ghaznavi and Mohammad Bin Qasim. It is important that Muslims read about their glorious history…how Mohammad Bin Qasim crossed the sea to conquer India and subsequently how Mohammad Ghaznavi came and attacked the Somnath Temple,” the man says.

“Although in today’s history they are branded as thieves and dacoits, it is important to remember that they were loyal followers of Allah and brought glory to Islam,” the man says while referring to the numerous attacks the Somnath Temple endured from the Mughal invaders.

Towards the end of the video, the Muslim man shockingly admits that he has been to the Somnath Temple a short while ago and exhorts Muslims to not forget their “illustrious history”.

”Truth be told, those who disregard their history often end up being forgotten in the history,” the man says.
