<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Unlike Germany, which has apologized to its Jewish and Eastern European victims, and Japan, which has at least behaved itself since WWII, and even America, which has gone into paroxysms of guilt over what it did to the infinitely smaller numbers of Red Indians, the Moslem aggressors against India and their successors have not even stopped trying to finish the job they started. To this day, militant Islam sees India as "unfinished business" and it remains high on the agenda of oil-rich Moslem countries such as Saudi Arabia, which are spending millions every year trying to convert Hindus to Islam. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Not only is there no apology forthcoming, but such statements are dismissed as being outlandish and absurd and the secularist press in India condemns such assessments as not being secular and therefore as communal. Nowehere is the question asked is the statment true and if so is an apology appropriate ( i obviously think it is ). Meanwhile the neighborhood muezzin where i live in India wakes me up by distrubing the peace at 5:30 am in the morning in a loudspeaker that can be heard for several blocks and nobody has tghe guts to remonstrate that this is a medieval practice whicih is rude , discourteous and positively unsecular in its lack of respect for other religions.
