This article is an example of Hindu "Al-Taqiyah!" No doubt the Muslims believe lying to infidels is not a sin; however, there were a lot of other reasons why the Christians and Jews of North Africa supported Mohammed's warriors when they started their first jihad. Namely, rule by Constantinople had become a burden for both groups. They were only too glad to cut ties and have a chance to determine their own faiths under Muslim "protection." The Muslims were able to conquer Northern India for similar political reasons. Beware of Hindus claiming innocence! From my experience, they can be just as devious as any Muslim when it suits their purpose. We were involved in a Christian mission working with people who had been deceived by Raj Neesh and other so called Hindu "holy men." In fact, the tactic of deceiving one's enemy is not confined to any one racial group but regularly used all around the globe in this age of disinformation.

We have to consider the sources here when looking at Indian Hindu material on Muslims. I'm not saying they're wrong - certainly the kind of lying to which this article refers has been practiced by the Taliban and their supporters from day One. Keep in mind that there's a continual, simmering religious war going on in India between Muslim and Hindu.

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.
