Mr. Abdul,
You are right, demolition of a Mosque or any other religious structure is not waranted. The nation and its unity are its citizen's duty and to preserve peace and harmony is everybody's business.
To be frank, I never had heard about the Babri Structure and Ram Janam Bhomi issue. I became aware when Rajiv Gandhi opened the gates and Advani did his rath Yatra. I had always known that Jama Masjid was built upon a temple to degrade Hindus and their religion. To this day while climbing the steps leading to the magnificant Mosque are etched with figures of Hindu deities. For all these ages, the Muslim leaders never thought that maybe they needed to revamp the stairs as it could hurt their Hindu brothers' sentiments.
Mr. Abdul, Babri Structure was never a Mosque. I had the pleasure of asking many Muslims and clergies who have categorically stated that a Mosque that does not have facilities to do "vazoor" are not Mosques. But here we have sooo many claiming it to be a Mosque. How many Indian Muslims had any clue about this particular Mosque? Hardly any.
I do not wish to engage in a debate. Just like your beliefs cannot be questioned, my beliefs cannot be questioned as well. We must together seek a solution. Solution does require compromise and must be built upon truth and righteousness. These factors have diminished, thanks to self proclaimed leaders of Muslim community in India.
All evidence has proven that yes indeed a temple did exist. And that is the truth regardless of all ifs, buts, how, etc. It is logical for the land to be handed over to Hindus. Please recall that you will speak of law proclaiming all religious sites to be status quo. But this issue pre-dates the ruling thus not applicable.
Mr. Abdul, there are 3000 sites all over the country where temples were wrecked and Mosques built upon them. To do this, showed prejudice, bigotry and hatered by the culprits of humanity. But in this day and age why should we blame their actions to Muslims of today? Well why not?
Why shouldnt we blame this generation for the deeds of their past? Aren't Germans today reminded of their Nazis? Arent Americans reminded about Vietnam? Arent Russians reminded about evil Communism? What are you trying to say Mr. Abdul, that we should simply forget our history? Sorry sir, the Sword Of Islam was not very kind to us Hindus. Countless of my fore-fathers died in the holocaust that followed Islam in India. Please dont ask us to forget it.
You yourself should not forget either what the Muslim rule brought with it. It should be learned so it never happens again. It is the bitter truth and we should accept it and learn from it.
Of all the 3000 sities we Hindus asked our Muslim brothers to hand over the land so we could make our temple. We even said we will forget the rest 2999 sities. What was the response? "If we hand over Babri Masjid tomorrow it will be jama Masjid". Do you as a Indian Muslim seriously believe that? Where is the brotherhood?
I understand Mr. Abdul it is hard to explain the Hindu issue to your community, either a Fatwa will be placed or you will be un-heard if you are righteous on this issue. Mr. Abdul, problem does not lie with us Hindus, the problem lies with your community and their petty thinking. Its time that you forget Mohammed and Hadiths and follow the Quran.
Quran clearly states that you as a Muslim irrespective of which nation you are living in and in whatever community, your duty is for betterment of society and brotherhood, well then what is beneficial for us Indians today?
Solution is simple, hand over the land to Hindus and let them make their temple. If now they do insist on 2999 sites well I will support them. Why? Why not. If they are right and they have the evidence then law, and truth are with them.
Even today in US American Indians have rights to their culture, and land, so why not Hindus? Mr. Abdul, there wasn't a single protest when the first Mosque built by Mohammed was demolished by Saudi Royals for building a grand palace. And here we Hindus are seeking our Kabba.
I could go on Mr. Abdul, but I await your reply. Please keep in mind, just like Sharia does not require law neither does Hinduism and its beliefs. Faith is faith.
