@JGN Do you know what is Ashwamedha Yagam? FYI, if you don't know, a powerful king/emperor sends his horse to other neighbourhood kingdoms and if the king doesn't become an ally, his kingdom will be invaded.
Do you see anything else except "Greed" behind this? How many lives were lost in the process? This was happening in the days of Ramayana and Mahabharata.
Any learned Muslim knows what are the repercussions of each step he/she takes. Can you, even after studying all your books, claim the same?
