It is sheer crap that ''only in India'' you find people of all faiths living together.
Today many European Countries are as multi cultural as India.
The same is True of North America.
Small Countries such as Pakistan and Bangladesh are also as multicultural as India!!!
India is only noted due to limelight we are in due to our rising economic clout in the world and our population!!!
Rest of your points are not worth commenting as conversion by sword is a much old allegation heralded against Islam older than centuries but many scholars have clearly with much evidence refuted such false accusations!
As the best example is India itself which was ruled in the past by Moghuls for nearly 1000 years yet it is 87% Hindu even today!!!
Other examples include Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan and Bangladesh which have sizeable Hindu populations.
'The world has never known more mericiful conquorers than Muslims'
- Prof. Thomas Arnold: Spread of Islam in the World: A History of Peaceful Preaching.
This book which forms Prof. Thomas Arnold%u2019s magnum opus deals with a subject which few have broached to this day and gives an authoritative history of the expansion of Islam through peaceful preaching and missionary activity. The author has covered most of the countries where Muslims live including INDIA.

Agreed that many countries have become multicultural for example the European Countries you mentioned but see what you done to them..Preaching hatred in the name of islam ..killing the very own people who gave you shelter.
Don't talk abt pakistan and bagaladesh.From 20% minorities,there percentage has come down drastically.
Rest of the muslim countires multicultrism is not worth mentioning apartfrom few south east asian countries.
Atleast you agree india is noted for something.You have mentioned population..you know one of the chief contributers are your muslim berthrens. Many of them believe family planning is against islam.
You take pride in saying muslims ruled india for 1000 years still 87% percent are hindus in this country.However you always forget there where marthas rajputs shikhs Who where contantly fighting against them.Muslims where never able completely subjugatethis country.
Wherever and whenever muslim rulers got chance they converted people.
And who is Prof. Thomas Arnold????
Is he a spokesman of Prophet Mohammad(pbuh)???
I will tell who he is.
" Sir Thomas Walker Arnold (1864-1930) was an eminent British orientalist who taught at MAO College, Aligarh, and Government College, Lahore. He was also the teacher of famous poet-philosopher Muhammad Iqbal, Syed Sulaiman Nadwi and a very close friend of Shibli Nomani who was also a teacher at Aligarh. " Living in pakistanSir Thomas Walker Arnold (1864-1930) was an eminent British orientalist who taught at MAO College, Aligarh, and Government College, Lahore. He was also the teacher of famous poet-philosopher Muhammad Iqbal, Syed Sulaiman Nadwi and a very close friend of Shibli Nomani who was also a teacher at Aligarh."
Are you pakistani?I can see why he has written so favourable about islam.Livng among the muslims and writing against there believes ..well we all know what could have happened to him.
Don't quote certain xyz to prove that islam and its followers are merciful and peacefull people.
I can refer you thousands of book on Islam where it has been mentioned that it was spread by employing the maximum brutality.
And one more thing dude...there can be many conflicts in india among the various communities but still freadom is quite appreciable in this country.

Imaan, Here I find you spouting false information again. I have come to realise that either you are: a. A pakistani, b. A chinese, c or any other enemy of India.
You say that you are muslim. Do you even know the meaning of muslim: "Musllal imaan"-- one whose character is pure (you can watch sarfarosh). I feel it is my duty to remove the mask from your real, and cruel intentions. Question: Tell me how many muslims or blacks or borwns have become president of america? Answer: None. Conclusion: India, Indians (and specially Hindus) treat all groups as equals.
Question: Why miority population in pakistan and bangladesh has reduced from 14% to 2% in last 60 years, even when the population growth rates are 2.2% annually whereas in India the population of all minorities have been constant of (in our case) increasing. Answer: Minorities have been killed, tortured, and forcibily converted in accepting Islam. Whereas in Indian this has never happened. Conclusions: India, Indians (and hindus specially) have treated minorities as equals. Our population has increased because of rampant lack of education.
Your History is flawed. Moguls came with babur in 1526 (first battle of panipat) and ruled in real power till 1707 (death of aurangzeb (He was a criminal tyrrant who killed Gurutegbahadur of Sikhs while trying to convert)). The moguls stayed in power till 1857 but only for name sake. Regions around Delhi was ruled by Raja Surajmal and the rest was ruled by nawab of avadh, marathas etc.
Prof Thomas Arnold was a teacher in MAO college as correctly stated by Feb and he was corrupt man that took large sum of money to write what he did.
However Islam can be practiced peacefully but not by people like you who carry so much venom inside for others. You must remember:
"MAT KAR NAFRAT ITNI JAHAN SE KI ISHQ BHOOL JAYE KHUDA GAVAH HAI"
My dear Indian now we must crush foreign powers and people like Imaan who are spies. We must not give them any mercy as they are criminals against humanity. Please remember this country is also our home. Jinnah and not people like us asked for pakistan. We are with you, we want India to be developed and people like Imaan will nor hesitate to kill even muslims just like MALEGAON. So brothers donot lose faith on people like me. We are there to fight these vermins like Imaan. These people are fighting while hiding behind the name of Islam so I know people like me shall have to remove the mask of religion from their faces. This we will do gladly. Kashmiri hindus are my brothers and they must go back and fight those who have pushed them out. Inshallah I shall fight on their side against traitors and enemy agents.
And Imaan, people like you shall not get place even in jahnnoom (forget ablot jannat) because you are simply KILLERS of INNOCENT PEOPLE.
Go back to your country and stay there If we find you in our INDIA we shall punish you without mercy
