I have not a great deal on hope from the other side but in my personal experience some Indian Muslims are uncannily candid about the whole thing.
I also got a dhaba variety lesson in eugenics once on a ride when a Muslim friend told me that the reason they on an average were better looking (their chicks more than their guys in my personal opinion, though I grudgingly admit to the possibility of biad here) was that the Muslim armies would pick out the prettiest girls from the local populace.
It's all very fascinating.

I had a muslim driver from south karnataka (earstwhile kingdom of tipu sultan) who told me that women from north kerela was beautiful and marrying one is a source of great pride in his community.
If you know your history, that is the region of kerala that was ransaked and raped by Tipu sultan, men slaughtered, women and children kidnapped and made slave and converted for his jihadi soldiers.
Its funny how historic memory still fuels our current day desires and passions.
You know the origin of "Meena Baazar" right ?
