``- which by the way is written purely in Farsi and has nothing to do with any of the umpteen Paki languages.``

Yes, it is written in Farsi, which is why I still cannot understand it.......




..hmm.. I`m beginning to understand the pakistani psyche..

First a nation is formed on the basis of some ``arab imperialist cult``, and then the national flag is a symbol copied from a distant land, and then the national anthem is again in some foreign language..

Do you folks take atleast some pride in your ancient civilization (the Indus valley civilization), or you think that you are some nomads civilized by the marauding armies spreading their arab imperialist cult..

I can understand the slavish mentality after getting screwed by all kinds of invaders.. But this is too much..

samina,

can you ever pen something on your own??????

i don`t give a damn about wikipedia........where any fool can inoput.


anyways u are dead wrong on sikhism.


sikhism was a reform movemnet that challenged the prevalent ethos of both Islam and Hinduism.....it rejected both dogmas.

Akbar respected all saints (superstiious???) ..... like Ranjit Singh, he was an illiterate person.
he jst showed respect towards the gurus of the time.....nothing more - WHAT support???


pls use your own brain - instead of copying from wikipedia.

Saminasha,
Your source is so polarised and biased. Religous persecution reach it`s height under Shah Jahan and Aurengzeb to new limits. Aurengzeb was convinced by his Qazis that his mission in life is to convert all Indians into Islam. He did not eat his food till he had 60 KGs(approx 140 lbs) of Janeu(Hindu Sacred thread), in other words about 20,000-30,000 forced conversions in a day.

Is that your view point and you thinkt hat it is okay?

If Bush starts converting all of Muslims into Christianity by reasoning, financial incentives or co-orcion would you become a Christian?

You are only quoting one Mughal king(Akbar) who was realtively peaceful but what about 99% of the rest.
