Dear Aliyar, though I write about the Koran or the absurditieis in other so-called holy books, we don't have any hatred for the followers of any religion. Today also on another message board a lot of muslim friends were arguing that there was no forced conversion to Islam. When this a historical fact, we have to accept the same gracefully.
I do not expect the present day muslims in India to be apologetic about the same but they need not show proud over the same. The pre-independence India comprised of over 600 princely states which often fought among themselves. At times the Hindu kings took help from Muslim rulers and vice versa and cannot be compared to today's India.
