A crusade in disguise probably, But as a Judeo-Christian aggression hiding an agenda beyond religion, since most of the Christian and Jewish people today are either outright atheists or at least agnostic, but they call it secularism.
I think that Indians fall in this same category, and no one can blame them since they are subject to a very weird, complicated and confusing religion witch needs quantum physics brains to grasp at least some meanings.
So obviously they all see the simplicity, the strict sense of justice and equality, the ethics and universality of Islam as "threats" to their ways of life that have stained Muslims through colonisation, rot its internal dynamics in the khalifat period and brought down the reign of Islam, by divide and conquer from within, which was allowed by young Muslim princes fighting for power and dividing lands between themselves to please their Judeo-christian "counsellors" or mistresses to suit their falsely inflated egos, hence derailing them from the principles of Islam. All this in the name of secularism, while the Koran tells us clearly not to trust these people or any stranger to Islam with any power in governance unless they become Muslims and prove their faithfulness.
It is no wonder these people are paranoid concerning Islam, since their aims were exposed.
So what do you think a spy or an intruder or a thief does in general when he has been caught, it is obviously denial at first even in the presence of evidence.
