India passes controversial citizenship bill that excludes Muslims

India's parliament has passed a bill that would give Indian citizenship to immigrants from three neighboring countries -- but not if they are Muslim.

The controversial Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) would fast-track citizenship for religious minorities, including Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians, from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan. Opposition parties say the proposed law is unconstitutional as it bases citizenship on a person's religion and would further marginalize India's 200-million strong Muslim community.

Considering what Islam has done to India starting in 12th century cannot blame them.

Hindus have first hand experience what Islamic invasion brings: death, and cultural destruction.

Islam’s conquest of South Asia was the bloodiest genocide in history.

India is completely justified in their actions.

Muslims in Bangladesh and Pakistan WERE part of India.
They opted out, insisting that they be allowed to live in
their own glorious Muslim caliphates.

India here is just giving them what they want.
While allowing those they oppress a way out.

If only they could learn to bathe everyday, not shower in perfume, and eat something other than curry. The smell. . . gag

The whole point of Bangladesh and Pakistan is to separate the Muslims from India. England tried unsuccessfully to keep them together. But the hate of the Muslims was too great. Remember they killed two Indian Gandhi Prime Ministers. Both Indira and Mahatma were killed by Muslims. They also killed her son who had been Prime Minister but was Congress President at the time he was assassinated by Muslims. So if any country has a right to exclude Muslims, its India.

Some Middle Eastern countries exclude Indians from citizenship, even if they are born there. Their passports are issued by the county but clearly say, “Indian” on them. About time India did something similar.

Make it emotionally clear to Indian Americans that the Democratic Party is the Party for muslims, and you will have pushed a real hot button with them.
