The #ILoveMohammad issue sadly, was widely mis-recognised and misunderstood. It was either reduced to mere a matter of desecration of religious symbols or law and order problems overlooking the deeper concerns of moral injury, discrimination and curtailed freedoms of Muslims.
Muslims in Modi’s India have been forced to learn to endure many formsof state persecution. Their very existence is questioned, their faith is seen as foreign, their patriotism is doubted, their food, livelihood, and love are criminalised, their homes and mosques are demolished, and their identity is constantly under suspicion. Even so, the “I Love Muhammad” (ILM) incident etched a new wound. It deepened a collective moral injury that found expression in widespread protests, a small fraction of which turned violent.

Human rights groups have condemned reported plans by Israel to surround part of Ketziot (Al-Naqab) Prison with crocodile-filled trenches, calling the proposal a further escalation in the treatment of Pales-tinian detainees. According to Israeli media, the Public Security Ministry has allocated approximately 21 million shekels ($6.3 million) for the project, which would involve constructing nearly 170 meters of trenches and developing plans for the care and handling of the reptiles. The proposal was reportedly championed by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
Human Rights Watch described the proposal as evidence of the “normalised cruelty” within Israel’s prison system. The organization said documented allegations of torture, ill-treatment and abuse in Israeli detention facilities have persisted for years with little accountability, urging Israeli authorities to conduct independent investigations rather than pursue measures it characterized as punitive and degrading. Israel has previously denied allegations of systematic abuse and says its detention facilities operate in accordance with domestic and international law.
The reported plan has also drawn criticism from Israeli conservation authorities. The Israel Nature and Parks Authority reportedly opposed removing protections for Nile crocodiles, while rights groups argue the proposal amounts to psychological intimidation of prisoners. The controversy comes amid heightened international scrutiny of Israel’s detention practices following the genocide in Ga-za, with thousands of Pales-tinians held in Israeli custody, including many under administrative detention or security-related measures.

A source told The Observer Post that Delhi Police personnel were allegedly stopping young men near Gate No. 2 of Jamia Millia Islamia Metro Station and recording their names on a "detained persons" form on Friday.
According to the source, two police personnel without visible name badges had already filled out several forms by the time they arrived. The source alleged that when questioned, the officers cited the imposition of Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) and asked them to leave the area.
The source claimed that the protest site was far from Jamia Nagar and that the area around the metro station was peaceful, questioning why the names of metro commuters were being recorded on a detainee form.a
