*QUOTES ON ISLAM BY EMINENT INDIANS*
*Rabindranath Tagore *
A very important factor which is making it almost impossible for
Hindu-Muslim unity to become an accomplished fact is that the Muslims
cannot confine their patriotism to any one country. I had frankly asked
many Muslims whether, in the event of any Mohammedan power invading India,
they would stand side by side with their Hindu neighbours to defend their
common motherland, I was not satisfied with the reply I got from them.
* Rabindranath Tagore*
We want to draw a veil over our past to appease the Muslims…. We have done
it for a long time. It is time we lift the veil from our eyes.
* Lala Lajpat Rai *
I have devoted most of my time during the last six months to the study of
Muslim History and Muslim Law and I am inclined to think that Hindu-Muslim
unity is neither possible not practicable… I do honestly and sincerely
believe in the necessity and desirability of Hindi-Muslim unity. I am also
fully prepared to trust the Muslim leaders, but what about the injunctions
of the Koran and Hadis. The leaders cannot override them.
*Sarat Chandra Chatterji *
> If we go by the lessons of history we have to accept that the goal of the
Hindu-Muslim unity is a mirage. When Muslims first entered India, they
looted the country, destroyed the temples, broke the idols, raped the women
and heaped innumerable indignities on the people of this country. Today it
appears that such noxious behavior has entered the bone marrow of Muslims.
Unity can be achieved among equals…. I am of the view that Hindu-Muslim
unity, which could not be achieved during the last thousand years, will not
materialize during the ensuing thousand years.
* Annie Besant (The founder of the Congress Party)*
The inner Muslim feeling of hatred against ‘unbelievers’ has spring up
naked and unashamed…. We have seen, revived, as guide in practical
politics, the old Muslim religion of the sword…. In thinking of an
independent India, the menace of Mohammedan rule has to be considered.
*Sri Aurobindo*
I am sorry they are making a fetish of this Hindu-Muslim unity. It is no
use ignoring facts; some day the Hindus may have to fight the Muslims and
they must prepare for it. Hindu–Muslim unity should not mean the subjection
of the Hindus. Every time the mildness of the Hindu has given way to
barbarism of Islam. The best solution would be to allow the Hindus to
organize themselves and the Hindu-Muslim unity would take care of itself,
it would automatically solve the problem.
*Sri Aurobindo *
You can live amicably with a religion whose principle is toleration. But
how is it possible to live with a religion whose principle is ‘I will not
tolerate’? You cannot build unity on such basis. Perhaps the only way of
making the Mohammedans harmless is to make them lose their faith in their
religion.
*Dr. B.R. Ambedkar *
To talk about Hindu-Muslim unity from a thousand platforms or to give it
blazoning headlines is to perpetrate an illusion whose cloudily structure
dissolves itself at the exchange of brickbats and desecration of tombs and
temples….Nothing I could say can so well show the futility of Hindu-Muslim
unity. Hindu-Muslim unity up to now was at least in sight although it was
like a mirage. Today it is out of sight and also out of mind.
*Dr.B.R. Ambedkar*
The brotherhood of Islam is not the universal brotherhood of man. It is
brotherhood of Muslims for Muslims only. There is a fraternity but its
benefit is confined to those within that corporation. For those who are
outside the corporation, there is nothing but contempt, slavery and enmity.
*Ram Swarup *
Religious harmony is a desirable thing. But it takes two to play the game.
Unfortunately such a sentiment holds no position in Islamic theology.
* Shiv Prasad Roy*
Pakistan and Bangladesh are their fixed deposits. Those are Islamic states.
No one else can lay claim on them. India is a joint account. Plunder it as
much as you please.
*Francois Gautier *
This is a profession of faith of a Muslim: ‘I certify that there is no God
other than Allah, of whom Mohammed is the only prophet’, which means in
effect: After and before Mohammed, there is nobody else…’Thus the whole
religion of Islam is based on negation: nobody but us, no other religion
but ours’. And if you disagree, you shall die. This puts a serious
limitation to tolerance and from this strong belief sprang all the horrors
of the Muslim invasion of India.
*Francois Gautier*
Let it be said right away: the massacres perpetrated by Muslims in India
are unparalleled in history, bigger than the holocaust of the Jews by the
Nazis; or the massacre of the Armenians by the Turks; more extensive even
than the slaughter of the South American native populations by the invading
Spanish and Portuguese in early days of America.
*Will Durant*
The Mohammedan conquest of India was probably the bloodiest story in
history.
*Alain Danielou *
>From the time Muslims started arriving, around 632 AD, the history of India
becomes a long, monotonous series of murders, massacres, spoliations, and
destructions
*Rizwan Salim*
Their minds filled with venom against the idol-worshippers of Hindustan,
the Muslims destroyed a large number of ancient Hindu temples. This is a
historical fact, mentioned by Muslim chronicles and others of the time.
*Rizwan Salim*
Savages at a very low level of civilization and no culture worth the name,
from Arabia and west Asia, began entering India from the early century
onwards. Islamic invaders demolished countless Hindu temples, shattered
uncountable sculpture and idols, plundered innumerable palaces and forts of
Hindu kings, killed vast numbers of Hindu men and carried off Hindu
women..….. But many Indians still do not seem to recognize that the
alien Muslim
marauders destroyed the historical evolution of the earth’s most mentally
advanced civilization, the most richly imaginative culture, and the most
vigorously creative society.
*Irfan Husain*
The Muslim heroes who figure larger than life in our history books
committed many dreadful crimes. Mahmud of Ghazni, Qutb-ud-Din Aibak,
Balban, Mohammed bin Qasim, and Sultan Mohammad Tughlak, all have
blood-stained hands that the passage of years has not cleansed. Indeed, the
presence of Muslim historians on their various campaigns has ensured that
the memory of their deeds will live long after they were buried…..Seen
through Hindu eyes, the Muslim invasion of their homeland was an
unmitigated disaster.
*Dr. Younis Shaikh*
….eighty million were slaughtered and millions of women were raped…..it
was standard practice for Islamic warlords like Ghori and Ghazni to unleash
the mass rape and enslavement of hundreds of thousands of women after the
slaughter of all males.
An extremely large percentage of Muslims in South Asia today are the
progeny of forcible conversions and systematic rape campaigns by marauding
Muslim invaders.
*Koenraad Elst*
..the number of victims of the persecutions of Hindus by Muslims is easily
of the same order of magnitude as that of the Nazi extermination policy,
though no one has yet made the effort of tabulating the reported massacres
and proposing a reasonable estimate of how many millions exactly must have
died in the course of the Islamic campaign against Hinduism (such research
is taboo). On top of these there is a similar number of abductions and
deportations to harems and slave-markets, as well as centuries of political
oppression and cultural destruction……
*Dr K D Prithipa*l
Muslims will only live as an oppressive majority and a turbulent minority.
*Sardar Ballavbhai Patel *
A nationalist Muslim is only a contradiction in terms
