Chinu. That is a good web site. But from what I read I am more convinced than ever that as other religions evolved with the times and changed those things that no longer apply the muslim religion appears to be the same now as it was hundreds of years ago. From the web site you recommended. India is still resisting the muslim invaders to day. The Hindu Struggle to Resist Muslim Aggression " Thus the struggle of the Hindus to resist the Muslim aggression into India was spread over a period of 600 years from 715 C.E. up to 1328 C.E. This contrasts with the the swift Muslim victories in Persia (Iran) over the Zoroastrian Sassanians and in Mesopotemia, Egypt and North Africa over the Romans (Byzantines). The Muslims could not subjgate India with ease. And even after subjugating different parts of the country, they were never able to rule it enitrely. The next 400 years from 1328 up to 1720 was marked by a valiant and ceaseless struggle for independence by Hindus to deliver India from Muslim tyranny." " The Muslims aimed to totally destroy the Superstructure associated with the Hindu period. The term Superstructure** which the Muslims aimed at destroying included a wide spectrum of aspects of social life including Indian religions (Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism), language (Sanskrit and its various vernaculars), universities (like Nalanda), traditions of learning (ashramas, gurukulas), architectural symbols (temples, Chaityas, Viharas, Stupas), etc. The policy during the 700 years of Muslim occupation of India was to totally replace the superstructure of the Hindu period with a typical Muslim one. Towards this end the Muslim invaders undertook the desecration of places of worship, destruction of universities like Nalanda, the wholesale slaughter of the monks and priests to wipe out the intellectual bedrock of the people they overran. Such tyrannical polices which the Muslim rulers folllowed since their rule was established in 1194 C.E. they left a trail of bitterness in the regions which passed under their domination. Hindu tradition survived only in remote corners of the country like in Orissa, Assam and parts of South India." Full story >>>> hindubooks.org

You said...." And ir also talks about why the people from the Arabian peninsula exhibit that kind of violent behavior compared to the other Arabs. It is their geography and not their religion.".... Here is what the article said.... " The absence of a civilized way of life among the Arabs (from the Arabian peninsula) nourished the fanatical attitude which later became a characteristic of Islamic thought and way of life. " This attitude was transmitted to other people who were converted to Islam." I read this to mean the area where islam was born was in an uncivilized arab area and this uncivilized behavior has lasted through the centuries until today. I think it means that a violent religion such as islam could only be born in an uncivilized area of the world.
