I HAVE BEEN VISITING REDIFF FOR LAST 6 YEARS. HAD SOMETIMES DOUBTED THAT IT IS PROMOTING HATRED AGAINST MUSLIMS. TODAY I M CONVINCED..THIS DAY ONWARDS...I QUIT REDIFF....I CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT IT TRIES TO ACHIEVE BY PROMOTING SUCH ARTICLES..SUCH NEWS...ANOTHER MASSACRE OF MUSLIMS...??? LIKE IN GUJRAT....
the threat will not disappear if we bury our heads ostrich like in the ground. its good that there's a debate. either we'll get convinced that islam is a religion of peace or we'll be aware of the danger lurking in our own back yards. i don't hate muslims too. i don't want any retribution for what aurangzeb did to our country. but the question is: are muslims obliged to hate all of us "kafirs"?

Muslims are the part of India, no need to proclaim that they love India as much their co-citizens do. Overwhelming majority believe in the peaceful co-existance. I would like to share the excerpts from the interview of Israeli Deputy Prime Minister aired on BBC, referring to Palestinians he said," Let's forget the past and the history, let's see present and join to build bright, more secured and peaceful future where ther should be respect for each other" Similarly, we must realize the need of a better future, which can only be built by including every citizen of our great nation. Let's educate the people who believe in violence that a better and a secured future lies in the peaceful means only. Let's be more responsible and more reasonable.

Dear Shweta, Mohammad, Qasim, Ibrahim, etc. What do you say about the dresses in Islamic countries. While men are allowed to wear white robes, women are made to wear black burqas in such sweltering heat. Either Islam does not know about science or it does not believe in equality. That is why I feel the Dawood Bohras are more progressive, atleast they are open to reforms, unlike other muslims.

there are hundreds of instances where followers of every religion have done excesses, there is no need to remind about the truth what we have been doing to "Dalits" and many more found in our scriptures. But what do we want to tell the people. If we comment on sensitive issues such as religion we must think a thousand times as unnecessary abusive languages against each other would serve no purpose except more hatred, more skepticism and more intolerance for each other. Rediff is certainly doing no good to give a place for such articles. Ay sort of comments regarding religion should find no place in the modern world, or else there would be nothing but chaos all around. In the broader interest of nation and the world, it is very essential to discourage such articles.

It's very offending and irresponsible to use such language. By commenting like this what do we exactly want to say?? there are many instances where the concerned parties are not the followers of Islam, take the example of LTTE, naxalites, maoists, IRA, upper caste against lower castes, protestants against catholics and vice versa, christians against jews, hutu against tutsi and innumerable others. Indeed, there is an urgent need to educate people that there is nothing in violence, only peace can lead to a better future. We need to be more responsible carrying out our duties. Such comments would serve no purpose except more hatred. Let's join hand, irrespective of our faiths and beliefs, to build a better, prosperous and peaceful world.

yess you can only close your eyes. thats wat the politicians want you to do. I have read Quran and its philosophy. Read above wat narayan is saying. every single word he has writen is true.
Doing nothing is better than doing it half. Aurangzeb or for that reason any ruler would have them killed all so such day does not exist. Hitler left some jews and they are ruling and spreading destructions in the whole world.
This gentleman Francois is very famous for his hatred for the muslim. He is back courtesy Rediff. He has become popular because of his writings which gives sadistic pleasure to all the Islam bashers. Rediff should be careful in promoting this type of people. It would do well to enourage writers who are fair and write truth and not those who seek cheap publicity and cause communal divide.

People living like a vulture. What's it?
I don't understand why you people don't understand the startagies of the rulers. Rulers and each and every rulers want to be king and feel like a king. So opt for the decisions favour the king but now the kings are there in the form of Billionaires. Who rules the under privilege people.

history is undeniable.. may it be untouchability or jehad. we need to learn from it. we are not cutting each other..just speaking our minds out so that we understand more about such a complex issue. to forget the destruction of our temples & slaughter of our people is utter indifferene. this is the reason why barbarians ruled our land for almost 1000 years.
Doing nothing is better than doing it half. Aurangzeb or for that reason any ruler would have them killed all so such day does not exist. Hitler left some jews and they are ruling and spreading destructions in the whole world.
These hindu zealots will never accep muslims are indians, Aurangzeb was born in India like other hindu rulers, Some of the hindu rulers fought wars and commited crimes why to pinpoint Great Aurangzeb. Hindu suffer form Inferiorty becoz they were unable to fight muslims, this pain of slavery compels u to demonize muslims, Hindu have Mahatma Narendra Modi Hope will flourish under his rule with Genocide and loot as state policy.
Hindus need to come out of mental illness and accept the reality that Muslims ruled India with Elan and brought it to world map.

Why are you getting worried for the muslims. If you have a calendar running back to your fore fathers you will find out that your forefather must have being lynched and his females abused before forcibly coverting him to muslim. I MUST SAY THE FORCEFUL CONVERSION FACTOR REALLY WORKS, SO WHAT IF IT IS AFTER FEW GENERATIONS.

pls read history urself b4 drawing conclusion..dont fall prey 2 such one sided articles that only suffises ur incomplete knowledge on the subject. read jadunath sarkar's gold medellist in history a short story abt auranzeb.
It was indeed a good reseach by gautier abt the destruction of temples by auranzeb but he has failed to communicate through his article what caused such action. What instigated auranzeb to take such step.If it was simply to eradicate hinduism then it could have been done i few years. Auranzeb ruled india for 36 yrs and more and it was too long a time to wipe out an entire community. History must never be looke d from one side you have to tell the story of both side and the truth that is hidden in the article is that auranzeb was the most pious mughal ruler who refuse to take a single paisa from the state tresaury for himself . He would make caps and write quran and sell them. the money he got from that he use to live on that.How many historian has come forward to say that there are several temples in south that auranzeb himself build. He denounced alchohol and drugs which was frequent among the rulers. Under him women were the safe and no man could cast an evil eye on them.ALL the wars and execution that took place were a political fight and it was for power. Whether it be the sikh guru or shivaji it was a political war and a war for power it sholud never be looke as a communal war at all. Under auranzeb there were several hindu warriors at greater ranks who fought for their masters. I WOULD RECOMMEND A BOOK BY JADUNATH SARKAR ABT AURANZEB. READ B4 WE DRAW CONCLUSION.
