Islamism - 7

[Guest]

To: Arindam
Bharatvarsh had some time back put up a lot of excerpts from the site persiapackhum (or something) which has translations of iranian islamic writings including their materials on India. Bharatvarsh posted translations of islamics' own book on their history in India. Islamis made lots of mentions of forced conversions and murders and wanting/attempting to rout Hindus who opposed them. I think this stuff may be in the Maratha or Shivaji thread, don't remember.

Next to that, you can also go down to the India section of
http://web.archive.org/web/20050207114949/...ad/subjects.htm
which quotes historians on the conquest of India including islam's destruction of Buddhism (through massacre of Buddhists and conversion).
Perhaps you can look up those historians and quote from their books if you find them? They may have some more information?

<b>ADDED:</b>
History of Jihad - India
(See also for instance History of Jihad - Persia the original was taking too long to load)
Linked to from http://www.historyofjihad.com/sitemap.html - originally posted by another IF member (K.Ram? Viren?), but which I immediately added to my sig since that time...

Then one can also go to voi.org and look for Sita Ram Goel's books on how many temples were destroyed by the faithful followers of the prophet-allah. There's other books at Voi on conversions and islamic history in India, I think.

Also, mass forced conversions/massacres were commonplace in India as they were even in the Zoroastrian homeland of Persia and in some other countries. Of course the scale of genocide in India was much greater because we always had far more people.

Also look up Bernard Lewis' "Race and slavery in islam" or something, on slavery of people in islam. It does make mention of Indians too.
