1. Well, Islam hates christianity and vice versa, it dates back to holy war days. West (predominantly christians) made major technological advances and became major economomical and technological forces in the world. So Islam suffered fighting the stronger enemies like Israel backed by western countries. Islam couldn't take it. So those oil rich saudis, who don't have to worry about anything but do find how to take a revenge on west, started funding the terrorist activities. 2. Islam is the only religion which didn't change with time and remain as orthodox as it was ten centuries back. Christianity got diluted, but Islam didn't. So the animosity towards west/christians continued. 3. In india the problem is slightly different. Most of the Muslims population in india didn;t want to english education or join govt jobs in british days while the hindus did. So over a period of time the socio-ecomonic gap between these two communities increased. Many Muslims started blaming the hindus for their situations. And people like Jinna took advantage of that to convince them that unless they have a country of their own, their condition is not going to improve.

Who says Islam hated Christianity...If a Muslim does NOT believe in Christ, it is highly questionable if he is a Muslim.
Islam didn't change ??? What is that suppose to mean. Islam gives as set of guidelines that Muslims need to follow. It is sad that we as Humans are digressing. Kids before marriages, homosexuality, etc...Islam will not change for these things.
Muslims didnt get english education and the Hindus did ??? Where do you get this information from..and if it is true, why cant we conclude that the Hindus were sucking up to the British ???

Well, I have not seen any other religion where an entire country is run based on few things written in a ten thousand yr old book. Pardon me if that offends you. Suck up!! Yes, probably this was the reason a large section of muslims in didn't take up british education or british jobs. Probably they thought the same way u did.

an extremely biased comment. In india their was hidden agenda and the pumplet was distributed to all the recruiting agency and people during 1947-1965 that no muslim and christians should be hired in governmrnt jobs. in the preindependence the non muslim percentage in the government job was about 40 % which is now just an about 10%. Be an Indian not Hindus.

Well, even if I agree with the numbers u mentioned, this is because of the so called "elite muslims" who made the movement for pakistan, moved to pakistan after partition and there was an intellectual vacuam for the muslims in india. Regarding the numbers, a greater india had more muslims and therefore higher percentage of muslims in the job. Muslims in indian just couldn't recover from the hundreds of yrs old socio-economic gap. If you feel the number of jobs are less, its because they just couldnt' compete. It could be attributed to their financial status, and therefore education and it just builds on. When the condoms were first introduced in africa, the black people thought that it was a conspiracy of the white people to reduce their population. I'm not trying to a anti hindu or anti muslim here, these are the facts well documented by many historians.
