Re: Do you read Nadeem Paracha?
The purpose of this thread is discussing Paracha instead of MBQ. But the only thing I have to say on this subject is this:
- If MBQ was not an invader then who was he? Just because he happened to be Muslim, does not change the fact that he invaded a foreign country.
I don’t see anything wrong with those invasions from Muslims because that was the norm of the day. So there is no need to be apologetic about it. And this is also true that the invasions from MBQ, Ghauri, Ghaznavi, etc. helped bring Islam in these areas.
Therefore from our point of view, those invasions were good.
But one thing is that we should stop giving religious connotations to those Muslim rulers. They were people just like us. And they were fighting not just non Muslims in India but also among themselves.
Some people also like to call Aurangzeb ‘rehmatullah aleh’. Yes, he was a pious man. Like they say: *uss ne na kabhi koi namaaz chorri, na apne kisi bhai ko chorra!

- You are asking what we should do about Muslims who came to India during those times. I don’t understand what it has to do with this discussion? Not all Muslims came in armies. Besides, migrations have been happening throughout the human history. No one can throw out people who came to a place hundreds of years ago. Because they have now become a part of that place.
Actually, EVERYONE in the world migrated to their present countries one point of time, because everyone came from Africa.
