Sadique Chohan (Please note that I have pre-emptively had to copy the information as a racist Islamophobe (see UN definition) has systematically been deleting/defacing Muslim related items. I assume that the fanatical vandal is motivated by that R.S.S. inspired Aryan fascist bigoted perversion of "Hinduism" called Hindutva ).
