Although some may agree that Aurangzeb was a cruel ruler, he was not an ideal example for Islam, so the writer must not generalize Islam everywhere with the Islam followed by Aurangzeb, because he didn't follow the religion correctly. Truly Aurangzeb didn't represent the true face of Islam, so please don't think of Islam as represented by Aurangzeb. Islam is a religion of peace and not violence. Islam also says that we Muslims should stay in harmony with other religions and not force them anything. But there are some people who spoil the name of Islam by not following it correctly, as is also the case with other religions like Hinduism, Christianity, etc...
The writer also does not have the undertsanding of the religion of Islam and hence should not tell that the religion is not relevant in today's world. Islam is very relevant in today's world ( even if the scriptures had been written 15 centuries ago ) and needs to be followed correctly ( not adopted to todays' situations ) to make this world a better place for all of us to leave peacefully.

most of ideal rulers in Islamic civilzation (no pun intended) had been exemplarily cruel.
only people who could defeat them in war were those who were even more cruel then them. The crusaders even devoured dead bodies of their muslim victims. And Genghis Khan (not a muslim) is famous for his cruelty. He led mongols to the destruction of Baghdad, then the seat of biggest islmic ruler.

DEAR CHAITANYA KUMAR,
NOW I AM OUT SIDE MULLAH SOURCES. NOW I AM YOUR SIDE. ASKING ONE QUESTION :
One such belief that is often quoted in discussions on homosexuality is the one surrounding the worship of Lord Ayyappa. Ayyappa, also known as Hariharaputra and Manikantha, is worshipped mainly in South India. Medieval texts narrate how Lord Ayyappa was born of the sexual union between two male gay Gods Shiva and Vishnu when the latter temporarily took a female form. To date the worshippers of Ayyappa are mainly men, pre and post-pubertal women but he is also found to be popular with gay men. Strange no one explains why Ayyappa's rituals exclude sexually active women!
The Muslims were calling Hindi, Hindu and Baharat. Because our land full of Spice and also our colour of skin. When persian come they called HINDUSTAN. THE english called Indian because we are abiding Indus Valley. From where Hinduism come. The culture of Hindus is regarded is Hinduism. The Arayans who carried their books and system mixed with local culture and put some rituals. There was no temples before. The study says there was no temples. The Ayothiya they talk about there is city near Thailand called ayothiya there are temples and their people still play ramayan there. They are invaders. To save their community they put caste system and secure their bread and butter. Dravidians we south Indians are the real heirer of the present land.

i don't think any clear disntinction can be made. Aryan and dravidian theory was rubbished by many. You can hundreds of millions of darker skinned in North India and tens of millions of people South India who are relatively lighter skinned to the former. Indian people are more or less brown skinned and that is what they are recognised for. Not aryan and dravidian.

So what's wrong with Ayyappa if he is what he is when you don't know the rational behind any of his story. There are more than 30 million Ayyappa devotees in India and i am sure they would like to hear the same to story from your mouth. Where do you live hero.

Another story from a Mullah follower.
Read history then read and analyse. It's well known now that the world's first University was in Takshila around 670 B.C. Students from all around came to study at this university. There were students from Iran, and aroudn areas as well. That's one reason why you find the basic things have reached all around. That's one reason why you may find places and names similar to that of Hindus around. Nothing was invaded it was education going around.
The mullah followers think it was Islam which brought about education and blah blah around 670 A.D. and they are blindly agreeing because Islam kills the sense and intelligence of one's follower

Add to that the sacred Black stone which is installed in Mecca is actually a Shiva linga. It was reffered to as "Makkesha Linga". Thats y they r used to build mosques over temples.
At least Rama was brave enough to own up he had a wife. Jesus Christ hid that from the world and posed that he had castrated himself to enjoy company of every woman he pleased

You need education. There are mths in Scriptures, but it was a way to inform wise words by the sages and how they observe it. But not all are myths. Krishna was yadava and there are people belongign to such caste living still in India. They mention about people who live now in different parts of India in the scriptures. Even Manipur is mentioned in Ramayana.

It's a way of life, and at it's core are the Vedas, followed by the Upanishads, which are part of the Vedanta, or the end of the Veda. They are commentaries etc. on the Vedas, with much disagreement. Ram & Co. come much later and some people believe they are myths others don't, as per Hindu thinking to "each his own". So when you start spewing your ignorance on the world it doesn't actually make any sense. One could go so far as to claim that Hinduism has several religions that part of it's civilization. In which one can include all the sects that are closer to what the world sees as Hinduism and then the Jains/Buddhists/Sikhs etc. Which are part of the same tradition.
Like the saying goes "Ignorance can be fixed, stupidity can't"
Please read this: Some my friends of this blog are really lost intelligence case. They are telling muslims are killing muslims in pakistan. Tell me dear frankly. what do you think about Krishna ?? Who misguided pandwas to kill their brothers and sisters in for the tiny land of Hastinapur state. In this battle more than 10 billion innocent hindus murdered by hindus. And who ordered to kill ?? Krishna, the great adultrer and terrorist of the history.Was Krishna and Arjuna were Muslims ? Dont hesitate to accept the reality that in hinduism and hindu holy books are full of terrorism.This is not my wording. In reg ved so many place you will find terrorism and fanatics mantras.These quote you find in Vedas (rigved mandal 1 khand 103, Mantra 3)(rigved mandal 1 khand 130, mantra 8)(rigved mandal 1, khand 133, mantra 4 & 2) (rigved mandal 1, khand 147, mantra 7&8))(rigved mandal 10, khand khand 84, mantra 4)and so many many place you can find like these mantras. I assume vedas are ancient book of terrorist training manual.

Dharma according to our religion has a higher meaning than just meaning one's religion. It means kartavya or duty of a person..a righteous act...which you will not understand. That's out of your scope as you people are never taught kartavya. And the meaning of righteous act is different for your religion...

Mike Krishna told Pandavas to kill Kauravas in the epic poem Bhagawadagita, which is part of Mahabharata, which a piece of literature. You got your logic totally wrong. Do you mean to compare the crusades ordered by popes and islamic invasions and killing by muslims to some incidents in literature?
RE:Emperor Aurangzeb
by Perv Sharma on Mar 09, 2007 09:29 AM Permalink
Mike - U r first little intelligent muslim.
Now Pandavas and Kauravas is it. The Kauravas took the kingdom from Pandavas and were supposed to return the same after a definite period. Only when they went back on their word and greed was in their nature, the pandavas tried every possible way to reach the solution but to no avail. In the end - war is only the factor which would decide.
Similarly, Hindus have donated Land to Islamic followers to live in Pakistan. But, the greed of these islamic followers doesn't allow them to rest in peace. The moment the Hindus follow the saying of Krishna and fight the war on that principal there will be no more Pakistan. The 1971 war is a clear indicator that Pak was given a warning.
Did Krishna ask any one to convert in his teaching. No? He only preached that good must figtht to end the evil which unfortunately for the hindus and fortunately for Islamic followers the Hindus haven't followed. He taught that if the enemy cheats you have every right to cheat. Unfortunately the hindus again didn't follow this and paid a price for it. But, now well lets see what history does.
Now, Mike how about some questions about your prophet. Was he the same poor poor fella who married rather sold himself to a rich old widow as a sex slave. Wasn't it after he married this rich old widow that he started to travel around to jerusalem. Is it one of the reason every jehadi is promised a virgin in Heaven because your prophet couldn't get one on the earth. His dreams about virgin and he promised the virgins to others in heaven. By the way don't Muslims have virgins that they dream of getting only one in heaven by becoming Jehadis. Definitely these jehadis know where the muslim girls loose their virginity.

Some of the crap that you go on about doesn't really bother Hindus, except perhaps caste, which puts Hindus on the backfoot. However as Dr. Ambedkar notes in his book there are Hindus that are doing something about it. Unlike Islam which is beyond reform of any kind since its believers claim it's perfect. The day muslims understand this simple fact, that's the day they will stop blaming the rest of the world for their self inflicted misery.
Nothing wrong in you people worshipping Aurangzeb. You do that. Hindus will start worshipping Modi, Togadia and other such people who will clear the mess of Islam in India. I hope you realize where i am getting at. You worship Aurangzeb, and more Hindus worship their people who screw the Muslims in India.

The Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb (born 1618, reigned 1658-1707) is the most reviled of all Muslim rulers in India. He was supposed to be a great destroyer of temples and oppressor of Hindus, and a 'fundamentalist' too! As chairman of the Allahabad Municipality (1948-53), Dr Pande had to deal with a land dispute between two temple priests. One of them had filed in evidence some farmans (royal orders) to prove that Aurangzeb had, besides cash, gifted the land in question for the maintenance of his temple. Might they not be fake, Dr Pande thought, in view of Aurangzeb's fanatically anti-Hindu image? He showed them to his friend, Sir Tej Bahadur Sapru, a distinguished lawyer as well a great scholar of Arabic and Persian. He was also a Brahmin. Sapru examined the documents and declared they were genuine farmans issued by Aurangzeb.
