I must admit that Indian womenfolk must be grateful to the Mughal kings who tried to ban sati and to the English General Napier who said :"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours"

an excerpt from this article..
". Will Durant argued in his 1935 book "The Story of Civilization: Our Oriental Heritage" ....The Mohammedan conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history. The Islamic historians and scholars have recorded with great glee and pride 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. ....."
I was a backpacker and I found out that its important to carry out human sacrifices during diwali and as priests in Rajasthan told me...I knwo that the Kali mandir on Amer fort stopped doing it few years back...

Well another example of an isecure muslim speaking bad about hinduism. If theory A is wrong it doesn't make theory B right. So even if Hinduism is wrong it doesn't make Islam peacefull religion. Mohammed started his career looting carvans of quraish , killing and enslaving pagans and jews. As per isalm you can have sex with wife and slave. Muhammad's men used to rape after every victory. Thats as per hadiths. Sufism is not true islam. Has Rahman read life of Muhammad? Does he agree with is marrying 7 year old or killing 700 people of Banu Quraiza? Its very easy to say Islam is peaceful but Quran and Isalmic history shows something else.
WHATEVER I KNOW RAHMAN ,HE IS TOO SECULAR..........I LIKE HIS MUSIC INCLUDING SONGS OF SLUMDOG BUT FRANKLY I DONOT LIKE THE IDEA.........SPECIALLY SHOWING OUR INDIA IN BAD TEASTE........
If jai ho deserves oscar then what abt old hindi songs like ye raat ye chandni phir kahaan,tu chupi hain kahaan , Mann tarpat etc renditions deserve... coz these songs calibre are much much higher than any of rehman songs...i even like rehman songs but cant term as the best in hindi cinema history...SD,RD, Naushad, hemant kumar are notches higher than rehman...
Its ok that he converted to islam.This is his choice. But i dont buy this islam is a peaceful releion.Once you become muslim that's it.You cannot come back. Suppose he gets reconverted to hinduism.You know what will happen.He will be killed. This is what islam is. Do you get killed when you leave or join hinduism???

And leaving relegion like islam is called Apostasy. As per wikipedia Punishment for apostasy is [edit]Execution
Legal opinion on apostasy by a Fatwa committee concerning the case of a man who converted to Christianity: "Since he left the Islam, he will be invited to express his regret. If he does not regret, he will be killed pertaining to rights and obligations of the Islamic law." In Islamic law (sharia), the consensus view is that a male apostate must be put to death unless he suffers from a mental disorder or converted under duress, for example, due to an imminent danger of being killed. A female apostate must be either executed, according to Shafi'i, Maliki, and Hanbali schools of Sunni Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh), or imprisoned until she reverts to Islam as advocated by the Sunni Hanafi school and by Shi'a scholars.[15]

Hi Azaad,
Whom are you kidding? The story of Abdul Rahman, the converted to Christianity and faced the death sentence for it is still fresh in everyone's mind. There are many such cases that go unreported. You can satisfy your curiosity by searching the news archives in google for Afghan convert to christianity. Or plz edit the link below-
