The article is full of white washing of Islamic crimes in India, basically filled with lies. I only dealt with one of the lies as an example and posted the following comment on that moron's blog but I doubt he will allow it so posting it here for those interested:

Yes... have not came across such hilarious nonsense in a long time...
<<<As a child, I'd heard the tale of a giant magnet holding the Sun Temple's girders in place. By the time I was in my late teens, I knew Indian temples were made of stone and used little metal. The idea of a lodestone atop the Sun Temple keeping the structure together, while making compasses on passing ships go haywire, was manifestly absurd.>>>
The guy has of course no idea of what he is bullshitting about. Besides the other mysterious marvels that this temple presents to one ready for them, there is this metallurgical wonder of massive iron beams now lying detached from the structure, having excellent ferrous purity with significant proportion (>98%) of pure magnetite. The massive magnetite beams are larger than the famed ancient gupta iron pillar situated at mehrauli as well as than those massive ones of raja bhoja from Dhar, while weighing less than both! Structurally, the temple used absolutely no mortar or any other adhesive at all: the massive stones of its structure are skillfully precision-fitted and supported by iron dowels, and magnetical re-inforcement of assemblage is rather indeed likely, considering also the symbolism of Sun -- the Master of this whole world who holds and binds all the objects in their proper place through his magnetic gravitation. It is a fact that the removal of its large metallic kalasha-base from its mastaka, by the vandal ghazis, would have indeed caused its eventual dilapidation.
