Learn Indian History to understand mindset of Islam/Muslims

Indian history is very, very long so much so, people would easily flunk history subjects because they were derived from information 3000 years+plus taking into account Buddha and Mahavira's time.

Now fast forward and learn "Mughal" history starting from Humayun to Aurangazeb. Here we have a bunch of muslim invaders and thugs, laying waste to Hindu temples in Hindu majority India. What did Aurangazeb do? He demolished many, many Hindu temples in, get this, "Hindu majority India", made majority Hindus pay "jizya" tax to live as a non-muslim in, get this, hindu majority india.

One of the characteristics of islamic invasion and its brutalities are when they demolished hindu temples, they built mosques on the same spot using materials derived from the Hindu temples and bragged about it in WRITING. To this day, one can see hindu scriptures in mosques, where hindu temples once stood.

Learn the history of King Prithivi Raj. He won the battles atleast 17 times or more with muslim invaders (Ghaznavi); Each time, the muslim invader was let go by King Prithvi Raj. During the 18th invasion, Ghaznavi won the battle against PrithviRaj. What did Ghaznavi do? Did he show any mercy? Nooooo... He tortured and killed Prithvi Raj. Moral of the story: Do not trust a muslim to keep his promise. As President Reagan said, Trust but verify.

When Hindus wanted to build a temple on the same site where Lord Rama was born and the mosque was demolished, Muslims destroyed even more temples in Pakistan and elsewhere and very upset to put it mildly.

They have kicked out non-muslims in all muslim majority areas even from India. Some of the states, Assam, Tripura, West Bengal and Kashmir. They have kicked out the Kashmiri pandits from their own native land and then seek "self determination". They are doing the same thing in Thailand, Chechnya, Southern Phillipines and will do the same thing in France, UK and pretty soon will demand the same thing in Canada.

You see, the muslim mind-set works like this: What is yours is mine, what is mine is mine.

In a way, I am happy the British came when they came. They were a thousand times better than the islamists.

Learn Indian history before dealing with Islamists.
