RE:Muslim has made this subcontinent >>hell

Ofcourse,Hindus ,Budhists ,or Jains never had religious wars,crusades,jihads ,etc. to further their religion and in this great and ancient country always lived in peace. They did not go about debunking other faiths,proselytising,calling others sinners,polytheists(in a contemptuous manner),they did not invade other countries to harvest more followers,they did not persecute people because of their beliefs. Mind you ,even atheists ( who are called 'nasthiks) are respected for their perspectives.The 'Charavakas',the first atheists, were a contemporary of the Rig-Vedic times(which far precedes your Biblical patriarch,Abraham) and they were not hounded,persecuted and butchered as would have been the case of any Abrahamic religion. Even today 'secularism' has been the Indian ethos only because of the marority of Indians belonging to the non-Abrahamic religions.You don't find people persecuted because of the religion.In free India we had atleast three muslim presidents as head of state since our independence - Dr. Zakir Hussain,Fakhrudin Ali Ahmed, DR. Abdul Kalam ; not to speak of sevral judges of the supreme court ,high courts,chiefs of armed forces,well-known business tycoons,top civil servants,executives,also from the Christian minority groups,which speaks volumes for our secular position and we don't need your sermons about religious morality,when all through your history religion was the primary cause for wars and human misery.
