Muslims are equal citizens because the nation has not discriminated against you.
Or you.
all sects are more free in India than many Muslim countries.
Correct.
But you need to remember no leader of the Muslim community went to prison during the Independence Movement. India was won with the blood and toil of kafirs. You did not care enough to fight for the country though you line up to fight for your religion.
You have a lot ot learn about the independence movement. Suffice to say, you are wrong.
Can you deny that 80% of the world trouble spots have Muslims on at least one side of the fight, in many cases both sides are Muslims.
Could you explain how you arrived at that figure of 80%? Or is this a case of 84% of all statistics being made up on the spot?
But yes, many islamic regions are troubled and war torn. I did not deny that. But so? Why do I have to answer for other islamic countries? I am only interested in India and the USA. If you want to gloat over Syria or Iraq, do so with Syrians or Iraqis. I cannot and will not answer on their behalf, just as a British Christian cannot and need not answer on behalf of the Phalange militia.
We all have to suffer because your people ran planes into buildings and blow up innocents.
They were not "my people", any more than they were yours. Should I hold you responsible for every crime committed by somebody who follows your religion?
Yes, I know you cannot be held responsible for every action by every Muslim sociopath, but what is deafening is the silence from so called liberal Muslim society when other Muslims behave badly and get away with it and the screeching when an innocent Muslim gets blamed.
I am not speaking on behalf of "the muslim community". As I mentioned before, nobody has the legitimacy to do that, just as nobody has the legitimacy to speak on behalf of "the hindu community".
Don't think we don't see the difference. It makes us suspicious that this is just talk and all this liberal stuff is only skin deep.
The day you can stop thinking of everything as us v/s them, is the day you will appreciate my stance.
Too many Muslims disrespect other religions on a casual basis yet expect extreme respect for theirs.
Take it up with "those muslims".
I have heard liberal and very wealthy Muslims criticizing the likes of Zakir Naik but again the weight of your population attend his rallies. Shame on you.
Shame on me because other people attend that lunatic's rallies? Once more, all I can tell you is to stop viewing everybody through a communal lens. We are all individuals humans, not a chaotic, collective mass.
Sorry, but I will not feel ashamed just because other people attend the rallies of Mr Zakir Naik, for whom I have nothing but contempt.
What you are stating here about Muslim Law is not correct.
In criminal cases, there is no muslim law and all citizens are judged under IPC. Muslims could not rely on Muslim law board for justice in case on criminal cases.
Personal laws are a subset of civil laws, and concern themselves with with marriage and inheritance. Here a muslim, barring conversion to some other religion, does not have recourse of Indian courts. He/She would be treated be judged by sharia courts only. He/She could marry under special marriage act, but for inheritance, he/she has to submit to sharia court.
UCC aims to do away with Sharia courts ,and institute uniform laws for all citizens. It is a good law , and it is not discriminatory on religious basis.
I know all that, and that is the reason it is called "muslim
personal law board".
