Indian Hard-Liner Narendra Modi Leads in Prime Minister Race

28. You're parroting (wrong) talking points

Creating Pakistan was not supported by most Muslim freedom fighters in India. The Brits manipulated the ego of one Muslim politician -- a whiskey drinking, cigar smoking, womanizer lawyer from Mumbai who was hardly following anything in the Q'uraan -- Mohammad Ali Jinnah -- and his ambition to be the PM. When He could not be the first PM of India (because he didn't have the votes) he collaborated with the Brits who were always willing to divide and conquer and partitioned India, resulting in the death and destruction of over 9 million Hindus.

I didn't know that being progressive meant bowing down to the oppressors and meeting all their demands all the time just to look good in your eyes while sacrificing one's personal experiences. Thank you for that lesson.

I am actually proud of my Muslim brothers in India. Azim Premji was India's richest man for about two decades. Most of the top movie stars in India are Muslim, as are many politicians, Chief ministers, members of parliament and even two presidents. One of those presidents, Dr. Abdul Kalam is someone I look up to and have learned from. I despised Northwest Airlines for profiling him and giving him a third degree security check despite his status as ex-President of India.

However, I am of the opinion that there should be one law in India for all its citizens and no special status for Muslims. They should abide by birth control guidelines and abolition of polygamy just like everyone else. If that is bad in your eyes, so be it.
