Prophet Muhammad warned hıs ummah 14 centurıes ago that they wıll be weak ın the future. When he was asked why, he saıd: you wıll be many ın numbers but Allah wıll put wehn ın your hearts. Wehn ıs fear of death and love for the world. Thıs explanatıon can be transformed ınto what ıs saıd here: the maın cause of dısunıty ıs nonchalant leaders and muslıms accustomed to western lıfestyle. Medıa are the most effectıve tools here. How many people can you fınd ın Muslım countrıes who do not envy western lıfe?

This is a good premise, I think a large part of the West’s fear of Islam comes from a misunderstanding of the many divisions within the community of believers, however, this article is a disappointement. Just another writer with a political agenda selectively quoting history to make his point. I mean really, Did the war in Northern Ireland prove that Christians are a vanquished people? Just because a country has a majority Muslim population does not make it a Muslim country. Just as the US, with a majority Christian population, is not a Christian country…

Mr. Arain, I give credit to Muslim chroniclers for being excellent practitioners of their art. They themselves have recorded in various chronicles destruction of temple, imposition of jiziya, enslaving men and women. To begin with Mecca itself is a converted place of worship, and let me not name Kashi Biswanath Temple, St. John Church of Syria, St. Nicholas Church of Cyprus, Krishna Janmabhoomi Mathura. The collected chronicles of Muslim historians in India
(available in 8 volumes) by translated by Elliot and Dawson is called ‘History of India as told by its own historians”. No, 95 percent Hindus, had enough numbers and depth to survive 5 percent of urban marauders. But that north Indian plains are denuded of temples is by no accident. It is unlike South India where Muslims could not penetrate much. Gujarat began with buring of 58 pilgrims (women and children) in S-6 coach of Sabarmati Express by Muslims of Godhra. Can non-Muslims do such things in Muslim majority country. I shall certainly reply to Gujarat, but first let me know why all Hindus and Sikhs who comprised 20 percent of population in Punjab & Sindh were cleansed from Pakistan. Why few Hindus in Pakistan, and diminishing in Bangladesh, whereas increasing number of Muslims in India. If Muslims were peaceful their imperial prospects would have been restricted to Medina alone. But that their army (not missionaries) swept Arab, Central Asia, Spain, India is proof enough it is an imperial doctrine. It is all well recorded fact of history, by Muslim themselves, in those days when they need not pretend of being peaceloving to fool the rest of the world.

Muslims ruled India for 1200 yrs. they have never opperessed the hindus. During their golden age India was the most advanced and powerfull county in the world. And don’t lie if they wanted there wouldn’t be a single hundu or a temple in India as 1200 yrs are more than enough wipe everything off and they were much more powerfull during that time than what is US now.

I agree with each and every word you wrote here Mr. Roberts. There was a time when Jews were up to each other’s throats and as a result got banished from the Holy Lands. Then came Christians who spilled each other’s blood for couple of centuries. After them came the Muslims who, as you wrote, have fought off each other more fiercely than they could against the enemy. Is there any link between these three monotheistic religions and infighting or am I having a hallucination here?

Mr. Dutta,
If Muslims were destroying temples and enslaving men and women etc etc for seven hundred years then I bet you would not be here for spreading this lie. Seven hundred years were more than enough to wipe out Hindus from subcontinent but Hindus were still in majority at the end of Muslim rule. Don’t try to mislead the readers and put some effort to investigate killings in Gujarat.

Dutta Said : “It is only Pan-Islam that calls for unity to dominate over non-Muslims. Non-Muslims have not given any such call. ”

When Muslims are united, and no longer fear one another more than they hate their conquerers, what will happen? Will they give up their innate creed of Jihad against Kafirs of the world, and live in peace with them? Will they give up their urge for world dominance? What did the Barbary Pirates, supported by the Ottoman Empire, do when America was an infantile power and in no way threatened any country? They took slaves, levied tributes, extorted ransom. What did they do in India for seven hunred years- destroying temples, imposing jiziya, enslaving men and women. It is natural order of things for people to remain independent but associated. It is only Pan-Islam that calls for unity to dominate over non-Muslims. Non-Muslims have not given any such call.

Dr Roberts is very generous when accusing pro Mousavi groups of recieving money from the American government. What he says is not accurate nor is it true. Mr Roberts either has no understanding of the developments in Iran or is deliberately giving the Iranian government an opportunity to brand the “green movement” as American lackeys. Could he by chance explain how the most revolutionary, anti imperialist personalities in Iran have sided with the “greens” and why Mr Mousavi and the Greens now have very serious financial shortage in dealing with election expenditures and helping the victims of the very tragic aftermath of the elections? The Americans and Zionists have committed many crimes in this part of the world and have attempted to destablize the Islamic Republic of Iran but the Green Movement is something else and does not intend to change the regime but it is a reform movement and this is something that Mr Roberts has not understood.
