Some good stuff here thanks for sharing.
Awesome pictures. Thanks!
absolutely beautiful; great eye-opener; thanks for sharing!!
thanks for posting the pictures. nice pictures, but a very sad state.
pictures really do tell a 1000words.
The muslims look unperturbed by the presence of a kafir, trying to depict their soceity back to his home country.
The kafir entered these lands to bring in their ideas of secularism, and reject any system of ruling based on the islamic aqeedah.
Its a time when the ottomans were at their heights lavishing with their economy (thru spoils of war). all the kafir wanted was to bring this whole system down.
quite sad really, muslims in turkey were in decline. Look at the men bowing down to the sultan.
and look at the harem....yukk.
Surah Al-imran:120 "if a good befalls you, it grieves them, but if some evil overtakes you, they rejoice at it" .

Alain Danielou in Histoire de la Inde: "From
the time Muslims started arriving, around 632 AD, the history of India
becomes a long, monotonous series of murders, massacres, spoilations,
destructions. It is, as usual, in the name of 'a holy war' of their faith,
of their sole God, that the barbarians have destroyed civilisations, wiped
out entire races." And the well-known American historian Will Durant in The
Story of Civilization: "...the Islamic conquest of India is probably the
bloodiest story in history. It is a discouraging tale, for its evident moral
is that civilization is a precious good, whose delicate complex order and
freedom can at any moment be overthrown by barbarians invading from without
and multiplying from within." Almost all the Muslims of South Asia are
descendants of weaker elements of the population who had succumbed to
forcible Islamic conversion.
Plz dont quote from Hindytva.org yaar.

there is some truth in between.
it is not about religen of islam. it is about alein invaders.
in indonesia it is completly differet . it is not about indian muslims
you can say same thing about early aryan invasion and enforcement of caste sysytem.
Muslim conquest of India was for the greater good, all your treasures, Taj Mahal et al, are monuments of muslim rule of the region.
You should be glad we conquered you, its been beneficial now.

The Taj Mahal (which Shah Jahan built for his wife, but didn't want
anyone else to copy, so he cut off the tongues and hands of the
architects and builders) but you have to understand that he loved his
wife very much.

Some enemies of the religion claim that Islam was spread by the sword. What is your response to that?
Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
Islam was spread by proof and evidence, in the case of those who listened to the message and responded to it. And it was spread by strength and the sword in the case of those who stubbornly resisted, until they had no choice and had to submit to the new reality.
And Allaah is the source of strength. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions, and grant them peace.

mo_best, have you heard the name of Alberuni (973-1048) , the mathematician, poet, astronomer, physicist? Do you know how he wrote profound eulogies of barbaric civilization of polytheists in his book, Kitab-e-Hind? He even translated a part of Vedas, the holy book of evil polytheists.
Shut up na you sillies!
