kedar...
"redefined jihad..."
yeah man, the jihad has to be redefined, when muslas live in non-musla majority areas....breed rapidly and use bluffing to dupe people...and then when the number game favours muslas, change the definitions again....and the vote baniks (traders) of india will sell this to the people in the name of secularism....

Re#1,
Aaarrrjj,

The good thing is that wahhabism does NOT have majority support in Pakistan as was clear from the failure of their candidates in the last elections.

Dont you think that missing NOT must be typo mistake?
But how could you think? you are dumb arj.

"even though the loving Sufi philosophy had been the main agent for conversions to Islam"

huh! You are diminishing the role of Early Arab khalifs, turks and others by saying that!

"followed by a college of 6,000 Indian Mullahs, recently publicly condemned this terrorism and the redefined Jihad saying that the killing women, children and Muslims is un Islamic."

So Hindu men is a fair game!!

May be VHP should target these 6000 Mullah next time rather than 2000 innocents.

Baig sahib, an interesting read! It is likely true that vast number of Muslim populations (and Muslim rulers generally) have lived lives of tolerance and practiced the same regarding other belief systems, irrespective of whatever the occasional Mullahs may have taught them while encouraging opposite tendencies.

I do have a question for you, though. Among the Mughal rulers, Aurangzeb has generally a reputation for having been highly intolerant of Hindus (and even Shias). He lived 1658 - 1707, which clearly preceded the advent of Wahabiism (looking at the timeline you state). Therefore, could there be other elements and factors in play which could have promoted intolerance and allowed Wahabiism to gain ground just the way intolerance gained ground during Aurangzeb's reign?!

"It is difficult to understand how a single rough Bedouin from Nejd, one of the most impoverished areas of central Arabia, could turn a great religion like Islam on its head."

One could argue that Allah would not let the single rough Bedouin achieve what you see as a 'miracle' were he not doing Allah's work. Could Allah be protecting His religion from the likes of ...you? :)

They had liberated women and slaves from many oppressive mediaeval customs, invented algebra

Hain????

I thought most posters here were literate .... (even if not educated) ...I guess this is proof positive.

Murad ji,

Yes, Paki Wahabis are grave threat to all including Shias.

But so are Ayotollahs and their Irani-Style Islam........
