Failure to learn from history of Muslims!!!

Rajiv, you write: "Muslims occupied parts of India at the beginning of 13th century and had a field day for 500 years. The Babri Masjid in Ayodhya (the birth place of god Rama), the mosque that towers the birth place of Krishna in Mathura, and Akbar's fort at the confluence of the rivers Ganges and Yamuna in Prayag (promptly renamed to Allahabad) are examples of such structures in India. All these three sites are one of the holiest to the Hindus."

You are so right. It is Muslim invaders hobby or pet dream to build a mosque over the holy places of invaded people. They have done it all over the world and of course in India they had a field day because of availability of so many holy place. Hence every Muslim invader, Arabs, Turks, Mongols and their descendants Mughals just went on destroying and razing Hindu, Buddhists, Sikh Temples all over India.

Just to add to your list of temple desecrations in India by Muslims, I offer a few more: a mosque is built right next to Lord Vishwanath(Shiva) temple in Varanasi(certainly the most holy place for Hindus), Somnath temple(Shiva Temple) in Gujarat was destroyed by Muslim invaders seven times and it was rebuilt by Hindu Kings each time. Although there is a mosque built right nearby. Muslims know very well how to desecrate holy places of every other religion.

Muslim invasions of India started right in the eighth century with the invasion of Muhammad bin Qassim on Sindh. King Dahir was defeated and killed and his two daughters were captured and shipped to caliph for his harem along with the looted booty from the kingdom and temples. However, the two daughters were smart and told the caliph that Qassim had already violated them and for that Qassim was brought back in chains and killed. The daughters were also later killed.

With subsequent invasions by Turks, Mongols, Afghans, Mughals the looting of India was started in earnest.Thosands of women were captured andsent to arabia, and millions of men were systematically murdered/beheaded. According to historians, about 80 to 100 million Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs were killed over a 1000 year period. Muslims keep killing Hindus in Pakistan and Bangladesh and even in India.

Muslims in America wants to do the same by building a mosque on the site of the worst atrocity inflicted on American soil. But the American elites do not or cannot or would not understand this simple Muslim mentality of rejoicing their victory by building mosques on the holy places of others.

All they(American leaders) have to do is to learn Muslim history and their behavior in invaded lands and everything will very clear and they will oppose building of this mosque!!!

I would retitle your blog as "It is Muslim hobby to make their buildings......of other religions" instead of "Islamists because all Muslims are Islamists!!!
