Peace guys
I do agree with Pracs and Prashant views but the fact remains that Muslim invaders like Sher Shah Suri and Qutbuddin Aibak, depicted as heroes in Muslim version of history, were looters and they killed thousands of people without impunity. If we are Muslims then that does not mean we have descended right from heaven or we are superiors to other religionists/races and hence we should start preaching our beliefs by force or resort to using all sort ill means to tame the unruly world of infidels.
My point is simple that if we are Muslims we should not defend bad eggs amongst us just because of our religious affiliations. We should find out a way of peaceful co-existence. A bad person is a bad person no matter to which faith he belongs to. And to me, even though I have been severely censured for my beliefs, all human beings are equal no matter what their nationality, religion or ethnicity might be. Humanity is my religion, peace is my faith.
Now the world stands divided on religious lines, itâs our duty as educated and enlightened individuals, on both sides of the divide, to find a way of reconciliation rather than highlighting the differences amongst us.
Peace and Love
