"If force and military power could convert people,then british would have converted Afghanistan to a christian country when they ruled it with brutal force a hundred years ago. If sword can force people to change their ideology them Afganistan should now be the becon of communist rule-Since USSR during its powerful days was actually ruling the country"
THE BRITISH AND SOVIETS WERE THERE FOR MONEY, NOT RELIGION. THEIR OWN COUNTRY IS NOT COMMUNIST ANYMORE.
"These afghans are the same people whom you are now accusing of succumbing to Islamic invaders when cluster bombs couldnt subdue them , how could a mere sword will force them?"
THE CORE OF MY ARGUMENT IS THAT THE PEOPLE WHO WERE BUDDHISTS ARE ALL GONE - MAJORITY KILLED OR FORCED TO MIGRATE. SOME CONVERTED TO ESCAPE.
SEE THE COMPARISON TO KASHMIR - WHERE ARE THE HINDU PANDITS TODAY ? ARE THEY STILL IN KASHMIR ? NO. MANY WERE KILLED IN 1989. MAJORITY MIGRATED OUT OF FEAR (AS TRAVEL OPTIONS EXISTED - EARLIER, THEY DIDNT). SOME ARE STILL LEFT BEHIND, AND SOME OF THEM ARE STILL KILLED EACH YEAR. THIS IS A REPEAT OF WHAT HAPPENED IN AFGHANISTAN CENTURIES AGO.
IF 200 LATER, SOME OTHER IDIOT ARGUES THAT WHERE ARE THE HINDUS IN KASHMIR - THEY ALL CONVERTED PEACEFULLY, YOU KNOW ITS AN ARGUMENT THAT HAS NO TRUTH IN IT. THIS IS THE CORE OF MY ARGUMENT. AND AFGHANISTAN IS A STANDING EXAMPLE OF THIS.
BUT YOU HAVE IGNORED MY PLEA - COMPARE INDIA TO AFGHANISTAN, AND DECIDE WHAT LEGACY YOU WANT TO LEAVE FOR YOUR CHILD.
