Thanks for being a BIT more polite

First of all, you said that many more Muslims may follow the prophet's footsteps. But Islam also tells you to abide by a country's law; so, from an Islamic perspective, any Muslim who marries a 6-year-old today is wrong, as child marriage is illegal.

I didn't defend Ghaznavi for his act; theft overall is one of the major sins in Islam, I just don't get why you keep blaming religion with all off this. And I still didn't see you replying to the Marathas, who were Hindus themselves, invading temples.

There are separations between politics and religion in Islam. An authentic Hadith states that once, the prophet was asked whether he loved his homeland more or his religion, in reply to that he said that it was as if the questioner asked him if he loved his mother more or father. Muslims do respect and abide by laws of country, if they make sense. NRC and CAA were protested against as they were literally kicking out Muslims forgetting people like Abdul Kalam, Syed Abdul Qasim, Azim Premji etc. for their contributions toward the country, it was as stupid as dhimmi trying to prove idol worship isn't prohibited in Islam.

I at least respect you more than I respect dhimmi, as even if your points seem completely wrong to me, you are as magnanimous as ever. This is not to say that I appreciate you criticizing Islam for the wrong reasons though, just to say that you are a better representative for Hinduism.
