<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->oh you mean all those Muslim conquests,Aurangzeb slaughtering Hindus.
personal ambition of leaders,I call it.
Even the Caliphs conquered lands for their own power and ambitions.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Really then why was it that all the Muslim chronicles mention those conquests as having been undertaken in order to spread Islam and root out kaffirs?
Why was Shah Waliullah (considered as one of the foremost theologians of Islam) inviting Abdali to invade and destroy the Marathas, Jats and Sikhs and restablish Muslim rule to save Islam?
If personal ambition was the reason then why did Mahmud of Ghazni refuse to take the money that Hindus were willing to pay to get back the idol of their Somnath and said that he would rather be known as an idol breaker rather than an idol seller.
How come none of the Ulema opposed this misinterpretation, infact many of them like Waliullah and Ahmad Sirhindi were urging Muslim rulers to persecute Hindus, Sirhindi went into raptures when Jahangir put Guru Arjun Dev to death.

Well how about you Muslims pay an extra tax to us Hindus for protection and security rights for allowing you guys to stay here after partition?
