Get your facts right Mr. Francois Gautier
by Imran Ali on Feb 17, 2007 10:25 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

Its really amazing to note how a self claimed student of Indian history can talk rubbish without knowing the facts. I would request him to have a look at a book titled "temple desturction in india: myths and reality". simply bashing leftist/marxist historian doesnt make something true. moreover, it is in vogue these days to bash at everything Muslim and Aurangzeb has always been the TOAST of right wingers.

mr. mairan mairan it seems tht ur one of the nicker wallas,go and spread ur hatred somewhere else..bye the way who says hindus r peaceful-when u r not at peace with ppl within ur own society(dalits,sc's,st's,caste system) then how can u be at peace with others.hindus were peaceful coz they were for the last 1000 yrs under the stick of foreign rulers.if hindus get even the slightest chance(when the ratio is in their favour)they do not hesitate o commit even the henious of crimes as is evident from 1984 anti sikh riots(don't call it congress sikh riots we all know) and 2002 gujrat riots..say wht???

Hindus are very peaceful. In Mahabharat and in Ramayan they dont kill one human? they dont kill dalits in khairlanji or other parts in India? they dont destroy babri masjid? they dont kill mahatma gandhi?

Well. what use to happen in Iraq & how you have different sects in your own community & why your religion is the most insecure religion on earth ? atleast hindus learn from their mistakes & not under the so called stick. how many hindus you will find in Pakistan & if so how many are in the powerful position this might be able to tell you who is inherently peaceful & who is not. by the way dalits are no more dalits & muslims are no less powerful than any other its all a political agenda

The killing of innocents is evil...be it Muslims in Gujarat(2002) or Sikhs in punjab (1984) or of buddhists (11 century AD north India) or hindus (in pakistan and bangladesh)

We have to understand that despots are despots regardless of religion

1)Hinduism cannot lay claim to be the best religion unless it addresses the equality of Dalits, OBCs, etc

2) Islam too cannot lay claim to be the best religion as muslims cannot live peacefully with any other religion (be it hinduism in India/Pakistan/ Bangladesh or judaism in israel or ethnic chinese in Ulghir province of china or with christians in US/UK/Russia

3) If spreading equality was the only motive of islam than how is that the muslim hordes laid waste to Takshashila and nalanda which were populated by buddhists... buddhism treats everyone equally unlike Hinduism

Why did muslims occupy the temple mound in Jerusalem and build the Al-Aqsa mosque there?

Why did muslims occupy Constantinople and convert churchs into mosques???

Why do muslims discriminate between shia/sunni??

Why are ahmadias not considered as muslims in Pakistan???

Why does the baburnama boast that thousands of temples were desecrated and mosques were built upon it??

I can quote similar examples for all religions

The blunt truth is that all religions are great... it is the radicals, dictators and despots who use religion for their selfish ends

So instead of hurling abuses at each other let us strive to reform ourselves irrespective of our religion

Hi Brother. You seem to be a student of comparative religion. It is good to see people in today's world keeping so much interest in religions. But being your well wisher, I will advice you one thing. When you learn about other religions, don't read it negatively. OUR AIM SHOULD BE TO GET THE TRUTH. If you are damn sure that you are going right then I would like to request you to visit www.IRF.net and post your query where your every query will be answered properly. YOU VISIT THIS SITE ONLY IF YOU WANT TO GET THE TRUTH. Otherwise if you think that what you are thinking is absolutely right then no need to visit anywhere. Take care brother. May Allah Ta'ala guide you a right path.
