@shinyshiny82 There is a 13.4% minority of muslims in India. They CAN'T destroy all the mosques

[intrepberkexplorer]

@shinyshiny82,

The historical problem was that some Moslem forces who conquered portions of India centuries ago destroyed Hindu Temples and replaced them with Mosques. Now there are Hindu factions who wish to destroy those Mosques and restore the original Hindu Temples. This bitter conflict is limited to specific sites.

Far as I know, Mosques such as this most famous one from Delhi are immune from any threats. India is secular, with no state religion.

@skpbarve

keep dreaming. have some respect for your glorious Muslim history.

[Pkr]

The mosque, Jama Masjid, is open to tourists and a mark of pride for both Muslim and Hindu Indians. No reason to leave delhi (Old) as you will be treated well and respected by all INDIANS who have such great pride in their nation. Jai Hind...

[skpbarve]

For all those who want to know history, this mosque was never built by moslems. They ruled India, ruthlessly converted people into Islam and converted temples/ palaces into mosques. There is ample evidence to this including the carbon dating of samples from Taj mahal, which was a palace- not a tomb.

This will be the greatest discovery of the century when western scholars will dig into the past and bring forth the truth with the ehlp of technology and archives.

Lol, no chance.

You can hardly compare discrimination against gender to being stupid enough to tell them you have drugs.

I take great pleasure in breaking the rules of the real dumbasses. You are funny.

[halumasi]

well if i went through customs and said ive got drugs on me. id have a plastic glove stuck up my arse.{May have had something to do with the 'no drugs' signs.] very uncomfortable it would be unreal. obey the rules dumbass!!

[Bumblybee256]

It's very hard to be 'together' when one faith I could mention shows such inequality between the sexes. I have been to this mosque and I felt so uncomfortable there it was unreal. May have had something to do with the 'no unaccompnaied women' signs.
