3.Muslims want democracy where ever they r in minority but where ever they r in majority they don give democracy to minorities, why so?

A. Your statement is generally true. But please note that Turkey is an exception. Anyway, coming to your question, I already mentioned that the Islamic doctrine is medieval. Also, the mindset of many Muslims need to become more modern. However, this is not a reason to treat Muslims as second class citizens in Gujarat or the rest of India. This is not a reason to deny them the right to life and security.

4.Muslims kill more muslims than non muslims killing muslims,why ?

I don't know if this is factually true. One needs to look at the actual statistics and I am not sure what they are.

Fun Lover,

A few corrections are warranted.
1. Turkey now has an Islamic party in power.
2. Get the figures right. Christians have killed more Christians then Muslims. World wars, Americas, all the European wars for thousands of years just to name few
3. Inspie all the propagande, there is not a shred of historical evidence of any war between castes in thousand of years. Inspite of Britishers trying their best to sow divisions between different Hindus, there has never been any war between Hindu castes.

1. I was merely emphasizing the fact that Turkey is a democracy. This is true irrespective of whatever party is ruling in Turkey.

2. You are talking about Christians killing Christians. But the original question was about Muslims killing non-Muslims. I don't understand how your point can be considered as a correction to my post.

3. Dear Sameer, there was no talk of caste system in my original post. Where did you introduce this issue suddenly as a correction?
