[Reader-list] gujrat election

riots took place in 1992-93 and gujrat killings happened in 2002, but what about those thousand years when muslims killed, looted, raped hindus, what about 1947 when they partitioned bharat which is supposed to be their motherland too.  have you ever met any 1947 refugee ? have you ever tried to understand problems faced by them? 
 
whether you accept it or not hindus have shown great magnonimity in allowing muslims to stay in this country after 1947. how many times muslims have reciprocated? can you tell me one example?- have they allowed their hindu brothers to build ram temple in ayodhya on the place where babri structure stood? 
 
do they accept uniform civil code? are they ready to sing 'vande mataram?'
 
you go & ask dr. abdul kalam whether he has faced any discrimination because of his religion. shabana azami or javed akhtar who keep complaining against socalled discrimination, have got maximum no. of filmfare awards. 
 
still why this false propaganda? 
 
i am not saying that hindus in gujrat should take revenge of muslims, because i know 'eye for eye will make this whole world blind'. 
what is bothering me is this type of secularism at the expense of hindu sentiments is causing great harm and unfortunately poor innocent muslim has to bear the brunt. > Date: Mon, 24 Dec 2007 23:58:05 +0530> From: vivek at sarai.net> To: vrjogi at hotmail.com> Subject: Re: [Reader-list] gujrat election> > Vedavati,> > To clarify-- the symmetry I speak of refers to the remarkable similarity > (in opposite directions), in rationale and strategy, between right-wing > terroristic hinduism and right-wing terroristic islamism.
