#47 Ajeya,
Does the chopping off of the hands of the poor Bihari victim by Maharashtran goondays of the right-wing religious Hindu groups constitute condolence by Ram or Krishna or even Gandhiji?

Re: # 46

I think you should refrain from such language; it is quite unbecoming of a Muslim. Our Hazoor (pbuh) has forbidden us to respond to those who badmouth, no matter what. Ijazat nahiN hay.

#30 Majumdar {"Whereas in India, minority population has grown in all states since 1951 Census and nowhere was the Muslim population decimated except in East Punjab."}

The Zodiac murderer killed people in only one out of 50 states. :)

...and East Punjab was one of the most densely populated Muslim presence in India.

From: http://khawatein.blogspot.com/

And wherever Allah’s boys are dominant, women have to be careful. Even though I am a Muslim woman who hasn’t stopped eating beef (even after marrying a Hindu), I fear my own co-religionists more than those from other communities…

Salim,

Why so much anger?...
Your witty, driving-sense posts have dried...There are many others who can play your newly acquired avthar...Make sure, the Salim we knew manages to survive...

Regards,

pmishra2 #31 {"Islam in south asia has been definitely violent and hegemonic ... How many buddhist, hindu and sikh temples are there? What is their condition? How visible are these minorities? Have their numbers grown or shrunk in the last 50 years?? "}

Shri Mishra ji,
I don't know about Islam in South Asia, but Muslims in Gujarat and Bombay have certainly seen much right-wing Hindu violence in the last two decades. It must be very frightening to watch your own state's police escorting murderers and rapists to your neighborhood to loot, rape, burn, mutilate, and murder little girls and then videotape such dastardly deeds. So before you start your mantra about Ghaznavi, Ghauri, Khilji, and Aurangzeb from the 10th, 13th, and 17th centuries let's talk about Thackeray and Modi from the 20th and 21st centuries.

Ramanan sahib,
Not anger, just disappointment. Too many Indians are using anti-Islamic orgasms as a substitute for their own parched sex lives and not enough Indians are stopping their own countrymen from this pre-feticide genocide.

are we allowed to talk about the killings of hundreds of thousands of bangladeshis in 71 or is that not permitted in your alternate reality?

Guru,
...and they say the same thing about the vice squad.

Arjun,
I am glad that you have scaled down the allegation from 3 million to hundreds of thousands, which is still very high. Of course we can talk about that. Many Pakistanis, myself included, condemn the stupid, wanton, unnecessary, and cruel loss of life that resulted from the Paki Army's occupation of East Pakistan. Of course, we must condemn the killings carried out by the terrorist (I guess that was before the word became fashionable) Mukti Bahini and their Indian supporters across the border.

Ajeya #38 {"jang, ...By the way, are you Muslim, or a "low caste" ex-hindu?"}

Ajeya,
Good observation, yaar. This fine specimen of Ghaati animal husbandry is an ex-high caste ex-Hindu who has now descended into becoming a non-observant lower-caste Sick Man of Chowk. Other than that he is a pretty good guy.

Screw the old man's birthday (he has had one too many). Tell us more about his daughter-in-law.

AJEYA #34,
Of course, you were there and you witnessed all that happening and the context of the horror was exactly as you described. My friend, you have been swallowing all that BJP/RSS/VHP/BD/JS/SS/SP/MNS bullshit without any filters.

yeah...I've gone deaf from the screams of pakis demanding someone, anyone, from their army be prosecuted..


Mukti Bahini and their Indian supporters across the border.


yes...they killed the same number of people as the paki army..sure..maybe that's how it went down in your alternate reality..
