This is what I would rather say

Yes, Muslim looters did invade India, but as I said earlier, the ones who saved India from being demolished were also Muslims. This is not to say that every attack from Muslim invaders was stopped only by Muslims, but to make you learn that looking at the other side of history is also beneficial. I will have to disagree on the point that Middle East is mostly Muslim though. Yes, extremism still exists, and as much as I love Mecca, I hate the leader of Saudi Arabia; HE IS SO STUPID THAT HE HAS PASSED A BILL THAT EVERYONE SHOULD WEAR MASKS INSIDE THEIR HOMES, HOW MUCH MORE STUPIDITY CAN YOU SHOWCASE? but look at the bright side as well, I live in UAE and have 1 mosque near where I live, with 2 temples, and 4 churches around the radius of the mosque. This is to say that yes, there exist countries that are idiotic, but taking a look at the bright side can really help. And you saying that Qutub Minar is one of the monuments that survived in the huge pile of Muslim invaders and attackers comes off as, with all due respect, stupid, as the one who built it was Muslim. And look at the Umayyad Caliphate, the Seljuk Empire, the Safavid Caliphate, the Ottoman Empire etc. and their amazing history! I would bring up Ashoka the Great rather than Mihirakula as the one representing true peace is Ashoka. One-sided information is what lead to disasters, so prithee halt it.
