But you are drawing comparisons with Babri Masjid and you or the other Hindus raising this issue are no Europeans...I have no sympathy for the Europeans too in this case. Just that how Hagia Sofia was used by Muslims of this very forum to say that it is "legal" and many comments on how destruction of sites were "holy". You take up the fight with them. Not me.
You have a problem with muslims following "redundant or idiotic" religious practises because you believe them to be redundant. Same can by me or any other Indian muslim about Hindu religious practices which are way more idiotic than Islamic religious practices yet they are followed with aplomb. Why should your practices have more importance than others. Muslims aren't aliens, they've been part of this country since ages and infact they are native to this land like other Hindus. So what do you have to say about beef ban, Pollution due to Diwali, Holi, Ganpati visarjan etc? Will you defend such idiotiness?As for being land, no is asking you or anyone to go out. Dharmic civilisation is the history of this land. It got it's root from the people in this land and it's culture and practises has to be given importance (my point of view and not lawfully). At the same time, unlike Muslims of India I will not ask for redundant or idiotic religious practises in the name of freedom of religion. That needs to go. Won't defend such idiotiness.
Then you must read Ashoka Vadana, Divyadana etc to see how well the Hindu rulers exterminated Buddhism and its places of worship.When various "namas" are proudly written by invading Muslim generals on how many infidels they killed, how many temples were looted and destroyed can give you an idea on how the Abrahamic hate against Indic civilisations was. I can proudly say that all religions are one and are different ways to God. Can you tell the same? That's the difference btw the civilisation which came from this land and outside.
"I can proudly say that all religions are one and are different ways to God." - Thats your belief.
I would say -
To You Your Religion and To Me Mine
Your so-called civilization treats its fellow humans worse than animals, force their women into temple prostitution, burn the women, force lower caste women to bare their bosom etc. So stop giving sermons...
Excesses against Buddhists are recorded quite well...Ancient Tamil Sangam has various written accounts of Jain and Buddhist literature. Kanchi was a place of Buddhist study. The Bhakthi movement (if you had read some history) started from the south in 6-7th century and spread all the way north. Saints and Poets converted kings to Shaivites and Vainavites (Mahendravarman Pallava was a Jain who converted to Saivite) and won theological debates. Adi Shankaracharya and Ramanujan won so much theological debates while at the same.time critical of then prevailing society values which we call today as evil. The Buddhist temples or monasteries were converted as people and kings converted. There were few excesses but none to the scale of Muslim invaders. All of them are clearly documented. There were excesses against Buddhist in Bengal etc. But I can only talk on history on regions where I have clear knowledge of.
Just refer this thread...

Buddhism was done and dusted by Hindu rulers by the time Islamic invasions arrived at the gates of Indian sub-continent.Its quite astonishing you are looking to go behind Buddhist when Nalanda and Taxila were destroyed by you know who's. They put the death knell ok Buddhism in Indian region.
But you will gladly justify when Buddhists are exterminated by Hindus and their places of worship converted to Temples...I am not asking you to convert. But if I become a Muslim tomo I am not going to claim Babar as my ancestors or going to justify his or any other invaders kings beastly acts. India is the civilisational refugee of dharmic religion and wherever the law and history clearly states an ancient temple was destroyed to make way for an mosque we should reclaim it. Even better Muslims themselves should help.handover it. Like they did in Somnath.
