It is an amazing book. I felt it my duty to read it but hated doing so. And I’m glad I did. The author is a dutiful researcher and much of the information is based on Mohammedan sources, others are Hindu sources. The butchery and incredible tortures are beyond belief.
I remember one city (most were walled at that time) the mohammedans were fighting to conquer. The Hindu warriors fought to the last man, then the brahmans (teachers/religious members) took up the arms and fought and meanwhile the women lit a fire and tossed their children in and jumped in, when it was clear the HIndus would lose to the mohammedans. Death by fire was far more to be preferred than the rape, enslavement, torture and death the mohammends gave to all they didn’t kill. They took countless women as sex slaves (as well as children including boys), and took many to their holdings in the middle east.
Oh. wow.
I think I need to see this book.
The malignant division of the good people on the earth over the aeons is a travesty. I think the majority of decent people, who tend to be wired correctly, have so much more in common than the artificial divisions created by the Deceiver. We have all fallen for it so much over the centuries.
I have been thinking so much lately of the song from the Rogers and Hammerstein’s “South Pacific” titled “You Have to be Carefully Taught.”
