When Sharia finally comes to the US, their govt should especially remember not to enact any anti-conversion laws in their land when the islamics start forcibly converting Americans ... US shouldn't be a hypocrite now, should it. (Dharmics don't like the christoislamic missionary tactics of bribing, lying, terrorising, killing in India. But the significantly christian population of America might only have a problem with such things when the <i>islamics</i> do it to <i>them</i>.)
In a duel with guns, when you take the first shot and miss, you have to stand still and wait for the other side to fire at you - as it's only fair. So let's see how the US takes it when Sharia comes a-calling in its own lands.

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--><b>Muslims find home in Durga mandap</b>
Katrasgarh (Dhanbad), September 17, 2007
Itâs almost like a lesson in national integration taught in school.
When Raveena Khatoon and her ailing husband Md Safdar Ansari fell on hard times and were forced to live on the streets, the vendors in the locality put them up at a Durga Puja mandap. Most of them are Hindus, and some are even Bajrang Dal activists.
(Raveena is a Hindu name though. But I guess she must have converted when she married into islam...)
For a while, Raveena, her husband and their three children stayed outside Katrasgarh railway station. But soon, the vendors of the area decided a railway station was no place for a family to live.
<b>So, they got together and with the members of the Goods Shed Durga Puja Committee, set up a place for the family within the sanctified confines of a Durga mandap close by. </b>
âItâs like a homecoming for me. After staying on platforms to pavements, I have finally found a home, thanks to my Hindu brothers. That they showed the courage to put us up at a place that is considered sacred speaks volumes about their humanity,â Raveena told HT.
(It is not considered 'heresy or kaffiri' in Hinduism to help non-Hindus. That's islam.
Many Hindu temples regularly help poor non-Hindus - including Muslims - besides all the Hindus they help. And they never ask <i>nor intend</i> for anyone to convert.)
Puja committee member Arun Kumar said: âDurga Puja, after all, is in praise of divinity, and divinity is another name for humanity. They needed help and we just offered them a place to stay,â he said.
<b>Viplav Dey, a Bajrang Dal volunteer pointed out that Dal members had even donated blood to Raveenaâs husband, when he was sick.</b> âMost shopkeepers in this Hindu-dominated locality are Bajrang Dal sympathisers, but they too have come forward to help the distressed family,â he said.
But what will happen when the Durga Puja festivities begin? âSnack seller Prakash Ram and tea vendor Debu have decided they will take the family to their homes,â Dey said.
Residents of the Railway Colony, next to the Durga Mandap offer food to Raveenaâs daughter Roshni. And every evening, before the vendors at the station go home, they make sure Raveenaâs family is fed.
âWhat bothers us is how long this arrangement would last. Her husband is sick and needs to be treated at a good hospital. Raveena too is not very strong. Someone must take care of them,â said Pappu, a snack vendor.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Guess US govt report is just more lies. So too those their hopeless 'think tanks' trying to present Hindu groups as terrorist. Must be a christian thing: everything not christian is 'terrorist'. No wonder they can't tell the difference between AQ/Taliban and Hindu groups.
