The public executions of Indian Muslims soldiers by British firing squad for refusing to fight in WWI (The 1915 Singapore Mutiny)
The 5th Light Infantry Regiment of the Indian Army arrived in Singapore from Madras in October 1914. They had been sent to replace the Yorkshire Light Infantry, which had been ordered to France. The regiment was a long established one dating from 1803. Unusually for 1914-15 it was an entirely Muslim unit.
In November 1914, the British government decided to send the 5th Light Infantry to Hong Kong. However, rumours were circulated among the sepoys that they might be sent to Europe or Turkey, to fight against their Muslim brethren. When the order to sail to Hong Kong aboard the Nile arrived in February 1915, the sepoys (Indian soldiers), believing the rumours to be true, decided it was the time to rebel.
The Bolshevik's (Russians) would round up every village in the east and south of Poland and cleanse them whilst leaving behind the women for rape before killing them as well and then after WW2 they claimed Poland as their territory and made a communistic territory which destroyed Poland's future and regressed them 100 years backwards. The Nazi Regime was set to cleanse Poland and fill it with Aryan German's and they would have been very close to doing this if not for their loss during the second world war.
1915 was a different time morally,culturally and of course geographically and the execution was because they were mutineers and during the war, any mutineer was treated badly therefore the post has very little significance whether Muslims were discriminated because it doesn't take into account that all mutineers were most likely executed if found guilty in trial
