“Abid Mustafa is a political commentator who specialises in Muslim Affairs.”
Abid Mustafa is a propagandist and a liar. There are plenty of histories around covering the Moslem conquests. India in particular was subjected to massacre and pillage as the Moslems have a special place in hell for “polytheists” and have never been shy about giving them a little taste of the afterlife before dispatching them.
Today’s Islamist lunatics are not much different from yesteryear’s jihadist. These fanatics believe they are doing God’s work and so commit the most horrendous acts with a clear conscience.
According to the Durants in The History of Civilization the Muslim invasions and partial conquest of India represent the single greatest episode of loss of life in warfare in human history, including the 20th century.
