It’s the year 622 and Muhammed Bin Abdullah is feeling very uneasy at his home in Mecca. He is the founder of a new religion which he calls as Islam. He is struggling to get followers even after he started preaching for more than 09 years. Moreover most of the Meccans are having enough of him as he is all but contempt of their ancestral way of worshiping. Time is running out for him. During this tough time of his, he gets an invitation to come to a city called Yathrib. Yathrib city is Jews dominant and is about 400 kms away from Mecca. Jews allow him and his team of 100 – 150 people to settle in their city and preach Islam.
Its year 627 now. Within 05 years the city of Yathrib is now called Medina. Jews are nowhere to be seen.
Now the year is 629, with about 10,000 converts, Muhammed and his army marches into Mecca. Whole of Mecca is over powered while destroying their places of worship. The population of Mecca are given clear instructions either accept Islam’s way of worship or ready to leave/killed.
Same year in 629, at far off place in Methala, Kodungallur Taluk, Thrissur District in the present Indian state of Kerala, the Hindu king donates his land to build a mosque for the Islamic travelers from Arabia. With all his kindness he wants to help these travelers to worship freely or even stay back in his kingdom. This is the first Mosque outside Arabia Peninsula.
Year is 712 and the same religion is now invading the same land. Sindh is lost.
Year is 1236. Delhi is taken over by an invader who follows same religion who were allowed to pray/settle in 629 in India. Moinuddin Chishti comes to Delhi. He goes to another city which is about 400 kms away and is presently called Ajmer and requests the local Hindu ruler to grant him a land and allow him to preach Islam. Present day 21 crores Muslims India + 20 crores Muslims in Pakistan + 16 crores Muslims in Bangladesh = 57 crores Muslims thank Moinuddin Chishti for converting their ancestors to Islam.
Year is 1947. Millions are massacred as India is partitioned because Muslims feel they cannot live with Hindus.
Year is 1989. Kashmir. Derived from the Sanskrit word Kashmira. The local Hindus which allowed Islam to preach in their land are asked to leave their ancestral land immediately otherwise they would be killed. Today hardly any Hindu can be found in Kashmir.
Year is 2021. Those Jews are still struggling to lead a peaceful life and have their homeland safe and Kashmiri Hindus cannot go back to their homeland.
The mentality from 627 to 2021 is same. As the name suggests, Islam means submission. The religion wants everyone to submit. If you are ready to submit then you are safe otherwise you need to be killed. Your culture need to be destroyed.
The modus-operandi is simple. Get into new territory and request for praying rights which a gentle society never refuses as this is what is considered to be the most fundamental right of a human. Slowly in years/decades become dominant in population and then annihilate the same local population on the basis of same religion.
This all with the help of present day media which paints oppressor into victim.
Temple Mount in Israel: Currently everyone is talking about the fight over Al-Aqsa mosque. The place is originally called Temple Mount and was/is the most sacred place of Jews. Islam came much later. A mosque was built on top of Temple Mount. But, now everyone is referring Temple Mount as Al-Aqsa Mosque giving the impression that it is the mosque which is in danger but it is completely other way around.
Ram Janambhoomi Temple in India: Babri Mosque was built after destroying this temple. But in day to day conversation / media reports the place was highlighted as Babri Mosque whereas it should be referred as Ram Janambhoomi Temple.
Sri Prada in Sri Lanka: The Muslims in Sri Lanka call Sri Prada as Adam’s Peak saying that this is where their Prophet Adam kept the first foot on earth. Completely ignoring the local sentiments. Even media and local population is quite and encourage the same name in day-to-day conversation and same name is even promoted for tourism. Its sure that once Islam becomes a dominant religion in Sri Lanka they will claim this revered places as their own.
Katragama Temple in Sri Lanka: A Mosque is built just next to the temple. The local population which is overwhelmingly non-Islamic does not have any objection. But if Islam becomes the dominant religion in Sri Lanka then will they allow the same present day temple next to their mosque.
The History says ‘No’ and we need to learn from History.
