I dont realy understand what Francois Gautier is trying to say? Why is it that anything bad done by a muslim is considered to be sanctioned or permitted in ISLAM and if the same misdeed is done by others, the blame is on a individual and not his religion. All those people who think that ISLAM is intolerant should first read about ISLAM from the authentic sources and then form an opinion. People like Francois are nothing but mischief makers who try to highlight bad/cruel muslims only. If only everyone becomes more tolerent rather respectful towards others religion than there will be true peace and harmony in this world.I think the first step towards this should be taken by so called first world countries which has so many educated and liberal citizens.......so please start moving!!

You are right, Islam is tolarant but not its followers. This is not just happening here in India but all over the world.

Truth always hurts and what the author has done is just bring the bare facts out. He has only sought to put the record straight but has never given the impression that he was somehow trying to link the deeds of Aurangzeb, the individual, to Islam. I don't think you have understood the article in the right perspective. We must appreciate the author for all the research and hardwork that has gone into his writing.
