message from Mr. Meraj Ahmedi, a Muslim, earlier put on discussion board:
Since we consider that Kaaba (the black stone cube) is SYMBOLICALLY the first house of Allah, we circumambulate it (as a mark of respect), but thats only bcoz Allah commanded us to do it... Apart from that, Muslims are not even allowed to do anything that would even make it APPEAR that they worship that certain thing...
We only believe in the One Supreme God, who doesn't have a shape or form... And human being doesn't have the intelligence to know how He is (same teaching in Vedas too)...
As for the violence, I cant comment on that, since I am not responsible for it... But I certainly condemn these violent and pathetic actions (doesn't matter if they are done against Hindus or Muslims)...
But I would like to insist here, that there is no way a normal kashmiri Muslim would do it... It could certainly be Mushy's men, who do not have religion... All they want is blood, money and power...
May we (Indians - Hindus and Muslims both) all live in peace together...

Dear Brother Amit,
Read the book of Dr. Bishamber Nath pandey, Nailini Taneja and so many historians. You will find the answer. In the modern India, north India does not have hindu practice of DEVDASI (Temple Prostitus). Please read the horrible article by nameS GOD OWN SLAVES, BONDED LABORS OF LORD. Wherein clearlily written TEMPLE BROTHELS, TEMPLE PROSTITUTES. As for my understanding, may be some temple were destroyed by the Aurangzeb, because they were became criminals cult in the name of religion. I want ask one question; why the government demolishing buildings and religous places in Delhi ?? Those are unauthorised structure. May be that time that religious places were unauthorized ???

STILL YOU HAVE NOT ASKED THE BASIC QUESTION. WHY YOU ARE WORSHIPING A STONE & TAKING SEVEN ROUND RESEMBLING HINDU STYLE OF WORSHIPING(EVEN THE DRESS CODE?)
It is futile to discuss, what Aurangzeb did. Even today many Aurangzebs are murdering innocent people in acts of terrorism and gross violation of human rights.
Today itself in Jammu and Kashmir, Islamic terrorists murdered five hindus. This is the report from Reuters.
Muslim separatists shot dead five Hindu road workers and wounded three others in Jammu and Kashmir, police said on Friday.
"Two militants in camouflage fatigue descended on the work site late last night near Rajouri district and opened indiscriminate fire on the labourers' camp," said S.P. Vaid, a senior police officer.
"All of them belonged to the minority community."
The mountainous Rajouri district is 170 km, northwest of Jammu, the winter capital of the scenic Himalayan region, which is claimed in full by both India and Pakistan, and the cause of two of their wars.
The Rajouri killings late on Thursday came days ahead of a meeting in New Delhi next week of leaders of South Asian countries, including India and Pakistan, to discuss regional cooperation on issues such as terrorism.
Hindus are a minority in Jammu and Kashmir, mainly Hindu India's only Muslim-majority state, where they have been targeted by Islamist rebels fighting New Delhi's rule.
