Will Durant, the well-known American historian says in the book “The Story of Civilization: Our Oriental Heritage” page 459

“...the Islamic conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history. It is a discouraging tale, for its evident moral is that civilization is a precious good, whose delicate complex order and freedom can at any moment be overthrown by barbarians invading from without and multiplying from within.” Almost all the Muslims of South Asia are descendants of weaker elements of the population who had succumbed to forcible Islamic conversion.” )

“The Mohammedan conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history”.

The Islamic historians and scholars have recorded with great glee and pride of the slaughters of Hindus, forced conversions, abduction of Hindu women and children to slave markets and the destruction of temples carried out by the warriors of Islam during 800 AD to 1700 AD. Millions of Hindus were converted to Islam by sword during this period. “

And unfortunately so few know this history. It is whitewashed in India as well; it is not taught in schools, according to what I’ve been told. Muzzies still screwing with India.

You don't have to go back to the 1700s to find widespread atrocities against Hindus. One need only look at the breaking away of Bangladesh from Pakistan in the early 1970s which caused millions of refugees fleeing into India and killed somewhere in the range of 300,000 to 3,000,000 people and the the persecutions are still going on.

And if you tried to teach this stuff or the truth about the crusades you'd be called islamaphobic and a bigot
