A time has come when the world has to take a conscious decision to get rid of Islamic hate, intolerance, bigotry, fascism…whatever name such acts may have (read https://articles.thecounterviews.com/articles/islamic-intolerance-bigotry-fascism-global-caliphate/). One religion cannot be made to dictate terms over the believers of numerous others. No nation can permit their religious demography to be altered due to religious favouritism but India has done so. India is the best example of religious tolerance, but at a massive cost. The Muslims have changed the religious demography of India. Whichever regions of India did not control the increasing Muslim population, it started alienating those parts. First Gandhar (Kandhar) was separated under Muslim majority rule. Muslims in Afghanistan got their permanent root under Mughals (Babur) in 16th century. The minority Hindu and Buddhists were butchered (hence the name Hindukush). Muslim population in India increased close to 22% during independence and they partitioned the country again with formation of Pakistan. The near 10% Indian Muslims after partition are now near 19% causing immense disharmony. Muslim population in Kashmir has increased to >95% committing fresh Genocide of the few left-over Kashmiri Pandits. Muslim population in Assam increased over 40% when they started atrocities on native Bodo and other Hindus, making them flee from own land. Muslim population in Kerala & West Bengal as on now is just about 29% and the heat is on…upon the native Hindu and others. Owing all these, Muslims are being perceived as proliferating cancer that could swallow away its hosts (read 'Muslims of India : Parts1, 2 & 3' https://articles.thecounterviews.com/articles/muslims-of-india-part1-what-is-hindu-muslin-divide/; https://articles.thecounterviews.com/articles/muslims-of-india-part-2-why-the-hindu-muslim-distrust-and-gap/; https://articles.thecounterviews.com/articles/muslims-of-india-part-3-how-could-hindu-muslim-divide-be-narrowed/).
The present decadal population growth rate of Muslim is 50% higher than Hindu in India. Hence, religious demography of Hindu is being threatened seriously. Knowing the behaviour of Muslim community around the world, no one should have doubt that India has hard time ahead. Islamic terror in India will keep growing from both fronts…east & west. Islamic bigotry will be more and more evident in the Muslim dominated areas in India. Muslim intolerance and bigotry in independent India has been well known all along. Recently they burnt a dalit leaders house in Bangalore, burnt many houses in Bengal in 2019, killed VHP leader in UP in 2018…and such acts go on. They forget that if similar acts of violence are resorted to by the majority Hindu community, they will be sitting ducks, roasted alive.
Muslims the world over must realise that with the increasing freedom of speech, there will be instances when an odd verbal or printed content may come out in public domain by an odd person, with or without wrong intent. The social and digital media will disseminate all such slurs far and wide in no time. The community must behave wisely and maturely to all such slurs. If every such aberrations of slurs against Mohamed or Islam create disharmony, anger or violence, peace in world will become a rare commodity.
The History of Islam bears testimony to its violent origin. The spread of Islam was through some willing acceptance but largely a forceful imposition…violent or otherwise. One may like to believe that in the modern world, Muslims have shunned their overt violence in imposing Islam but there are events and occurrences which point otherwise. They continue following their dictum of "Convert, Flee or Die" that world has witnessed in Kashmir against Hindus; Iraq against Yezidis; the Middle East, Sudan & CAR against Christians as well as in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh against all religious minorities. The beastly acts of ISIS over Yezdis in the 21st century itself have amply demonstrated the ugly, inhuman and violent face of Islam to the world.
Continued Jihadi acts across the world, against all most all other religions, leave no doubt that Islam has taken a new “Islamo-Fascist” violent path. However, there are numerous other Muslims all over the world who in no way are affiliated to the 170-odd Jihadi Tanzeems. They are peace-loving, highly religious and follow the principles of humanity…numbering almost 60% or so which is a significantly large number of them. Unfortunately, they seldom render their voice against the hateful, radical & Jihadi Islamists. Their silence makes the world community to believe that they may be hands-in-gloves with the Jihadists…which may not the case. The peace-loving Muslim must come out against the radicals with an audible voice. They must help the world community to defeat the ‘Islamo-Fascist’ Jihadists. If Quran & Hadith need amendments to shun violence that could be interpreted too as such, initiatives must be taken by the sane elements in Islam. After all, it is Islam and its image at stake, at the cross-roads of challenging the humanity that is not acceptable to the world community. Islam must mend its acts for own good otherwise there will be repurcussions. One can only hope that a better sense will prevail among the religious leaders of Islam.
