Intially, yes. They were called the Muhajirun in Yathrib.
But what were they called 65 years after the Hejira?
Still Muhajirun? Or Just Muslims?

Where is the Honour, Dignity and Freedom that was Promised? ALTAF BHAI
If what you say is true, then how is it that this "resource management" and "conflict management" incompetence of the Central Government does not seem to affect:
1) Pakistani Pashtuns...
Raja Bhai,
I agree with you that everybody these days seems quick to label everybody else as a traitor. I also agree with you that most our people generally do not place their Nationality First.
While it is possible that you, as an individual, might personally put your Religion First, I...
(1) Right now, the Prime Minister's post is also ceremonial in India. The real power is with the Pizza-wali Memsahib.
(2) The United States has been a secular country since 1777. In all that time, despite all the contributions the Jewish community has made to the US, there has never been a...
Note of Caution as Preamble: This post may be controversial because it questions a key belief that is widely held in our society. In addition, in order to make my point, I have had to take recourse to some illustrations involving sectarian differences and religious views. I apologize in advance...
Here I must disagree with you. Please see my response to your previous post:

Hinduguy Bhai,
"What Indian majority would wish (the equivalent schadenfreude) is lack of cohesion in pakistan based on religion and more regional nationalism. Creation of bangladesh is one such event we feel good about" IS one form of what I meant when I said "Pakistanis are not doing well"...
Yes, but the pleasure is not derived directly. If the pleasure were derived directly from the suffering of others, it would be called "Sadism".
The point is a subtle one.
For it to be called "schadenfreude", the pleasure has to be derived indirectly. The pleasure lies not in the suffering...
Krait Bhai,
I think you have missed my point slightly.
You say "Topic of thread is: Do Pakistan's citizen gets some sort of pleasure on seeing oppression of minorities in Indi.........coz these Muslims deserve so coz they didn't come to Pakistan?"
This is not what I said at all in the...
Icewolf Bhai,
I agree with you 100%. I forgot to add this point as a post-script to my original post, so I will add it here:
PS Note:
Obviously, human nature being the same everywhere, we can presume that what is true of some Pakistanis will be true of some Indians as well.

Preamble Note of Caution: This is going to be very controversial and may touch a few raw nerves. I apologize in advance if anyone feels hurt or upset. But I request all readers to first take a deep breath to let all the hasty emotions subside, and then recite "Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi...
I agree with you that Maoists could actually improve things. They could turn India into a more homogenous society by eliminating all religions, classes and castes and making everybody equally-liable for planting rice and milking goats-- just like Chairman Mao did for China. This would, at one...
Elmo Bhai,
The forum topics section describe this particular section as "Current Events & Social Issues: Discussions related to the current events, social issues and so on"
I note that it does not say "current social events".
Rather it says "current events and social issues"...
Ajtr Bhai,
This problem is easy to solve, and no one needs to impose choices on anybody. All you have to do is vote for the BJP in your country. You could also campaign for them and give them your money in the form of election contributions. After all, no one has ever claimed that the BJP...
BP,
I agree with all you say.
However, unlike you, I don't think I understand my religion enough for me to be so sure about my beliefs.

BP Bhai,
2. You failed to post the views (video or transcript) of the supposed Imam Haram el shariif.
I apologize. I just made that correction. Thank you for pointing it out.
3. 'non-Muslim' isn't 'kaafir'
Yes, it is. Kaafir is not a derogatory term. It comes from Kufr. Kufr (K-F-R)...
Bani Umayyah Bhai,
I know that most of the Blasphemy Laws in our country's legal system have existed for almost 100 years and are merely an inheritance of the British Legal System. In fact, the Blasphemy Laws in our legal system are almost indentical to the blasphemy laws introduced by the...
BP Bhai,
Looks like the seasoned Shia (1300 years of history) are also very naive, because according the Grand Imam of Haram-as-Sharif in Makkah, these Shia are just as non-muslim (kaffir) apostates (murtad) as the Qadianis. You can hear the Imam yourself below.
So the problem of...
