LAHORE: The authorities have renamed a roundabout in the eastern city of Lahore after freedom fighter Bhagat Singh to acknowledge his...
It is obvious from this thread that there seems to be a perception among hindus that the ancestors of Pakistani muslims did something wrong by converting to islam because it was the so-called invader's religion.
Now even if the ancestors of pakistanis were once hindus, so what?? The ancestors...
There is very little historical evidence to support your assertion that Islam was spread by force in the sub-continent. If the Mughals wanted, they could have converted every single hindu to islam by force and they had almost 800 years to accomplish that but they did not.

Your argument that Islam is about arab culture does not hold water. Only one-eighth of the muslim population worldwide is Arab. And there is not much historical evidence to support your assertion that islam was spread by force in the sub-continent.

Would you teach your children any kind of "martial arts"?
I would send my children to some kind of martial arts classes because we are living in times of rising islamophobia and muslim children in europe and north america are likely to be bullied at school. Under these circumstances, next...
Would you vote for a Hindu or Sikh candidate in an election in a particular western country that you live in? Why or why not??
I live in Canada and support the Liberals. But if in a hypothetical scenario, the liberal party's candidate in my area was a hindu or sikh and the Conservative...
