We come across this theme from time to time.
I would like this to become a sticky.
Hindus have a habit of pushing this narrative so it is best there is ONE single thread for this.
Coming to the usual cribbing - Hindus produce volumes of contemporary historical accounts of court chroniclers who gleefully state how temples were destroyed and so on. Muslims then go on and claim the temple destructions were for so and so reasons. Some say a few were destroyed, some give reasons for it and so on.
But the point is this - Muslims remain ON THE DEFENSIVE. This is their objective.
Why?
Why not ask counter questions?
Who FAILED TO PROTECT these temples? Why did the oh so powerful Hindus with their 5000 year old civilisation fail to save their dearest civilizational relics of the past?
Were they cowards? Weaklings?
Muslims have NOTHING to feel ashamed about destroying idols. I am opposed to temples destruction in principle because the same buildings can be used for other more beneficial purposes. But idol worship is something no practicing Muslim can condone.
Hindus of then knew this.
Why did they not unite and defeat the Arabs, the Slave dynasties and Turks etc?
Why dump the inability to protect them then on the shoulders of Muslims today? Will your bravado or questions like these bring those temples back?
My point is simple. We should not be defensive when countering these allegations. When Muslim armies invaded India they had the right to the spoils of war. There is absolutely no need for Muslims to suffer for it today or feel ashamed about.
Instead you can feel proud. How small armies could overcome great hardship and opposition and still entrench themselves in a foreign land filled with corruption, greed and caste discrimination.
