B O L L O C K S... ok my girlfriends family are from north cyprus, which makes them muslims (all be it non practicing) if I asked them if they had any animosity with hindus or sikhs they would say
...nobody has ever gone to India from Cyprus to cause beef with hindus or sikhs neither have they come from Bosnia, Ivory Coast, Egypt, Albania, Turkey or any other muslim country. Dont come come up with ******** to rationalise or small mindedness. Stick to reading the Daily Mail funnies and let the grown ups discuss the serious stuff :icon_thumright:
And anyone who things that kids are learning about other religions before learning about "our own" (Christianity) is a ******* idiot plain and simple.
Sorry, your obviously pissd off at the anti-muslim comments as your gf is muslim. but you have a lot to learn.
here are a few figures to help you learn, i can't be assd to post the links as some of the links are like essays which im sure most people can't be bothered to read, i've just copied and pasted the important extracts which show figures:
- "Likewise, the ethnic cleansing of a quarter million Hindus from Kashmir in 1990 followed the strategy of "killing one to expel a hundred" "
- "Hindus suffered such attempted extermination in East Bengal in 1971, when the Pakistani Army killed 1 to 3 million people, with Hindus as their most wanted target. This fact is strictly ignored in most writing about Hindu-Muslim relations, in spite (or rather because) of its serious implication that even the lowest estimate of the Hindu death toll in 1971 makes Hindus by far the most numerous victims of Hindu-Muslim violence in the post-colonial period. It is significant that no serious count or religion-wise breakdown of the death toll has been attempted: the Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi ruling classes all agree that this would feed Hindu grievances against Muslims."
- "Nandan Vyas ("Hindu Genocide in East Pakistan", Young India, January 1995) has argued convincingly that the number of Hindu victims in the 1971 genocide was approximately 2.4 million, or about 80%."
- "There is no official estimate of the total death toll of Hindus at the hands of Islam. A first glance at important testimonies by Muslim chroniclers suggests that, over 13 centuries and a territory as vast as the Subcontinent, Muslim Holy Warriors easily killed more Hindus than the 6 million of the Holocaust."
Sorry but i could go on and on and on but can't be bothered. most of the above isn't even taking into account the millions of hindus that were killed by the moghul empire from 12th century onwards. you really seem to have no idea of islamic history in ****.
anyway the point is that after taking all that into consideration, islam isn't my favourite religion, and like i said before the last thing i'd want is my children to be going to a mosque to learn about a religion that has killed literally millions and millions of my fellow hindus/sikhs over the last 1000 years.
all these facts are also not taking into account the amount of hindus that were forcfully converted to islam under the moghul empire.
and before anyone starts telling me that this is all in the past, its NOT. you dont have to be einstein to see this is still going on, look at the gujurat train bombings in recent times, as recent as this year in fact.
