Afghanistan was a peaceful BUDDHIST country in the before 13th century AD. Many monuments, such as the famous Buddhas of Bamyan that were destroyed by the Taliban testify to the Buddhist culture in Afghanistan. 'Gandhari' from the Hindu mythology is from Afghanistan.
Today, less than 0.1% of the country is Buddhist.
THE QUESTION: WHICH RELIGION destroyed the peaceful BUDDHISM in Afghanistan ? (100 marks) Choices: (Tick one only) Hinduism. Christianity. Sikhism. Islam. For the correct answer, scroll down.
Correct Answer for the above question: ISLAM destroyed all traces of BUDDHISM in Afghanistan. Today, 99% or more of Afghanistan is ISLAMIC. BUDDHISM has been wiped out. Their statues have been destroyed over the centuries. The few that could not be destroyed fell a few years ago. Minorities like Buddhists, Christians and Hindus were identified by a compulsory yellow cloth and mark on their houses. Ethnic cleansing similar to what we saw in Kashmir with Kashmiri Pandits from 1989 onwards was seen in Afghanistan.

Q1: Which Muslim king/ruler defeated Mongoles Q2: Who converted Buddhists (actually Mongoles) by Force ? Q3: When ?
Answer: All Tataris, originally are mongoles who were NOT defeated by Muslims. Infact Tataries defeated Muslims. This did not stop march of Islam, and They all became Muslims of their own.
Sushmita has easily forgotton fact that People she is talking about were not losers in war with Muslims, they were winners. Yet they Embraced Islam. So is Islam is to be blamed
AS USUAL, Islam haters are afflicted with mental desease that does not allow them see facts correctly

I too was misguided by hate mongerers against Islam for some time. But then I reached to authentic sources, and could see the difference between Actual Islam vs Misrepresented Islam.
I Embraced Islam in no time as I learnt true Islam. Allahoakbar !!

why is it.. that rather then solving the problem of misinterpretation.....Muslims only give a excuse that Islam is been misinterpreted ?
Why don't you start removing the hate speech from your literature then ?

if what you say is true then you should go out and talk to the people who proclaim they represent islam, and make sure your voice ie heard louder than the other hardliner voices
1. Islam never preaches killing Non-Muslims for non-belief, as propagated universally by these Islam haters 2. Islam accords Equal rights and responsibilities to Both Sex.

These are non Muslim sources which are responsible for creating misleading perception about Islam. Media only depends on them for sourcing info on Islam

Why are you madcaps posting non relevant stuff here. It applies to madcaps from all religions. The article is about Bangladeshi illegal migrants. Why are you spoiling discussion by bringing religion?
First and foremost, the BSF which mans the Bangladesh-India borders is one of the most corrupt and inefficient paramilitary forces. Right from the lowest sentry to the seniors are involved in trafficking of women, drugs and contrabrand. Secondly, almost all the major fleshpots or prostitution centers in the urban areas of all major Indian cities like Calcutta, Bombay, Delhi, Nagpur, Jaipur, Chandigarh, Ahmedbad, Lucknow, etc are filled with Bangladeshi women. This is because the Maoist insurgency and political situations in Nepal has led to a shortage of Nepali women being trafficked across a tighter border. Apart form Bangladeshi girls, the people involved in te flesh trade and other facilitators also transport Drugs. This is the route the terrorists are also taking. But the local intelligence and informers networks in the individual cities have to be toned up to detect and deport them. Local Indian businessmen also profit from these activities. For example almost every single Ladies Service bar in Bombay will have at least 70-80% Bangladeshi girls! When questioned they claim to be Bengalis from Calcutta or thereabouts. The local police station to the political worker, corporator, MLA, etc apart from the liquor lobby are actively involved.

Most of the migrants from Bangladesh are Economic Migrants in search a a better livelihood and escaping form the hellish poverty in Bangladesh. But the terror networks are using these migrant colonies as facilitators and getting safe houses. The best way to tackle this is to clean up the roten BSF and of course by all of us Indians whether using a Bangladeshi Maid or a Bangladeshi construction worker or somebody visiting a brothel or anybody visiting a bar to avoid using the services of the Bangladeshis. That will automatically check the demand supply situation. To throw out the ones already entrenched, the businessmen and other patrons of the services offered by these Bangladeshis or those from the law & order machinery accepting bribes to turn a blind eye must be caught by vigilantes or Sting Operations or by filing police complaints in the full glare of the media.

"In Denmark we have seen the appearance of a parallel society in which minorities practice their own medieval values and undemocratic views," he told fellow conservatives at a party conference last summer. "This is the new front in our cultural war."

If you were to measure a country's values by their tolerance towards lesb and gey rights then you may be right in the sense Danes are more tolerant than others.Not all the danes Hate islam and muslims ,it is a fragement of that society.This hatred is not new but there for centuries among Danes,but every time it comes repacked in different form,this is time it is using the pretext of violence to demonize the faith of islam but many dutch philosophers had extreme antipahy towards Islam in previous centuries too.So this is nothing new

IF i m right, Modern Europe provide you equal rights... like any modern democracy.. but where are equal rights in Islamic countries ? they even don't have International Human rights..
and beside this ... Danes are not only tolerant to Lesb. and gays... but also to other religions... let me ask, will a Muslim donate his mosque to Christians to pray ? but Europeans do had given churches for Muslims to pray !! so your words are automatically answered !!!
and beside this.. Dane Christians are liberal... but Dane Muslims were involved recently in stoning a gay couple

Trading charges will not help. Bangladeshis' presence in India is a serious problem. Their numbers is around 2,00,00,000. They have spread into all cities, towns and even in the villages. Unless our virtuous politicians stop seeing them as a 'Vote Bank', they cannot be ejected from the country. Police is helpless due to political interference. If we cannot do anything to these Bangladeshis, at least neutr them to prevent them from breeding like flies. God save India from this onslaught.

Rathore, What to do with North Indians in Mumbai? Just replace word 'Bangla Deshi' with that of 'North Inidans' in your comment and it would look like a speech of Raj Thakare against North Indians.

Dont think the Constitution of India gives equal rights for Bangladeshi's in India. The ruling Government does though.
