To Saladin

Saladin, do you really think that anyone believes that Muslims fought amongst themselves, leaving the Hindus in peace?

Either you are being naive or lying to the world through the skin of your teeth. Your twisting the words of Will Durant is fooling none. Durant clearly has refered to the fall of the Hindu civilization to the invading Islamic Hordes.

And by the way, we Hindus survived not by the gracious acts of Muslim rulers to let us live, nor by the muslims letting us live in peace. We survived because brave Hindus live Chattrapati Shivaji did not take the oppression lying down and fought back the Islamic invaders tooth and nail, and WON.
