RE:RE:Pl do not straight-jacket all Muslims
by Virgo on Jul 11, 2008 10:04 AM

It is incorrect and insinsere to portray that Islam was spread peacefully in India. Not entirely true. There was a lot of coercion both by the Muslim kings and the Sufis. Thousands of temples were destroyed and mosques built on them. Even the holiest of Hindus temples, the Kasi Viswanatha temple was destroyed by Aurangezeb and the Gaynvapi Mosque was built on the site. It still stands next to the Vishwanath temple that was rebuilt on an adjecent site later. Aurangazeb and other Muslims rulers also imposed Jizya tax on Hindus to force them to covert. You must read history from sources other than the revisionist paki history books.
