My response to Stuka regarding Babri Masjid demolition

Preview and confirm your commentsStuka #28 {"Sirji, that was exactly the offer made by the RSS. ... Habeeb Jilani of the BMAC turned it down. ...The demolishing of the Babri Masjid was also a message to the Muslim hardliners that if push comes to shove, you will lose. If Muslims are to take one step towards Hindu concerns, Hindus will take two. But not ten. It is no longer the time of Aurangzeb. "}

Stuka,
If Habib Jilani indeed did that, he was much more than a fool - a reckless, stupid, and insensitive idiot.
You may take it as a matter of winning or losing, I see it as a matter of backwardness, violent bigotry, and blatantly uncivilized behavior. Whether it's the Tally Ban at Bamiyan, Islamic jihadists in NWFP, or RSS/BJP/VHP/JS/BD/SS Hindutva zealots in Ayodhya, Gujarat, or Mumbai, such actions are detestable.

BTW, Aurangzeb built many Hindu temples. Also, Akbar gave Amritsar as a gift to Sikhs. So don't use Mughals as examples of bigotry or destruction - there have been worse, e.g. BJP/RSS/VHP/BD/JS/SS. Let's hope we can find logical solutions to such simple problems, instead of allowing bigots to loot, burn, destroy, rape, mutilate, and kill.
