Islamophobia !

This blogger has discovered some blatant and nauseating incidences of Muslim hatred from people hitherto unsuspected of communal leaning.

Mussalmans have an ordeal to pass through. There can be no doubt that they
are too free with the knife and the pistol. The sword is an emblem of Islam. But
Islam was born in an environment where the sword was, and still remains, the
supreme law. The message of Jesus has proved ineffective because the environment
was unready to receive it. So with the message of the Prophet. The sword is yet
too much in evidence among the Mussalmans. It must be sheathed if Islam is to be
what it means - peace."
This said by Mahatma Gandhi, 80 years ago, after murder of Swami Shraddhanand. Outrage, how could he say this, knowing that except for few extremists Islam is just like any other religion.

But the oppression against Muslims and Islam doesn't stop here.
Sample this

Islam divided the world into Dar-ul Islam ( Abode of Islam) and Dar-ul Harb
(Abode of War) and that it is incumbent of Muslims to wage war against any
country that is not controlled by Muslims.


My cup of woe runneth over ! This said by Mr. Ambedkar ! He must be denounced (here cognitive dissonance must be setting in, after all it is one oppressed group vs. another oppressed group)

I assure you this is just the tip of the iceberg. Our leaders, whose fossils are revered as leading figures of secularism, have frequently been critical of Islam and its adherents.

Which automatically means that they are communal. For isn't this criteria (i.e. criticism of Islam) applied to brand Bankim Chandra Chattopadhaya and Vande Matram as communal.

nice blog maybe ill add u to my list
did u see the wiki on mohammed ?
chk out his photos from old turkish scriptures
what u will notice is that there is allways a fire over his head or turban
compare this to most saints of all religions or to sufi saints for that matter they have a halo or circling around their head
what does fire generally signify in mythology? generally in christian or eastern philosophy it signifies the satan or devil
i rest my case there

What is your view about these specific comments of mahAtma-ji and Dr. Ambedkar?

By the way I remember reading a highly positive comment about RSS Dr. Ambedkar had made when he had visited an RSS shAkha. So one can actually make Dr. Ambedkar look like an extreme hinduvAdi, it seems.
