The arrival of Islam in Iran, and then Turkey

[King Solomon]

Sorry to break up your party, but this letter is most definitely a modern time forgery.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the narrator of the article you quoted is arguing based on his narrative of the story rather than the source, which can be done by anybody. Unless it is confirmed that this letter is not in the London Museum, this would be held genuine as this is backed by numerous sources in the internet, publications and beyond who are in a better position to verify the source than you. And for the record, this letter is a response to another letter which the Caliph sent after the battle of Ghadesiyeh.

All hadees are invented ones, in subsequent years though, as post mohammad No authority was there to endorse/reject authencity of the same.



Fact remains that India is still India.

Ancient Rome, Ancient Mossapatami, Ancient Egypt, ancient Iran, have all been lost. Ancient India still thrives and will continue to.

And you are the last ones to be commenting. You have been only here since 60 years and all signals coming out of your country suggests that your nation will not be able to complete even 100 years in history. Watch out this space.

Rome, Iran, etc. are still there, they have changed a bit, so has India (such as being 1 nation, thanks to the Brits)

It is confirmed forgery. Fact always seem alien to you.
Iranian anti-Arabism has no bounds.

Museum of London does not have this letter in its possession. How can it? The letter simply does not exist. There is no such letter in any museum anywhere.

But you're welcome to proof otherwise.

 

[Areesh]

Had India not been there Parsis would have been wiped from the face of earth. India is the most benevolent mother.

In case the whole world turns against Islam one day to completely wipe it out from the face of the earth, I am sure it will be India that will still offer protection to Islam. Such is her Kindness and compassion.

Ha Ha Ha. Facepalm.

Your bigotry and hatred is showing.

Lay off the hate man, you will live a happier and longer life.

Also I recommend you read real history, not the stuff your swami feeds you.

yaa bro we read real history...... it seems on d oder side of border a complete new history is taught.... where mohammad bin qasim becomes a hero and raja dahir a villain.... mahmood ghaznavi who looted lahore many times gets a missile named on him....

Mahmud Ghaznavi (rahimullah) gave you coward eunuch piss worshiping bindians what you deserved

Leaving aside your racism that you have just exposed, you should know that this man destroyed and looted numerous Hindu temples and force-converted numerous Hindus. In the process, he killed hundreds of thousands of Hindus who set on defending the temples. These are documented facts. We should stop looking at the world as something black and white, rather research into any matter deeply before coming to any conclusion.

No you have been exposed

You've been caught defending Russian aggression and crimes against the Chechen people.

He destroyed Hindu temple because he was an idol breaker. He never forced converted anyone, he never stayed after his campaigns were over and never held any territory. You don't understand the reasoning behind his campaigns ... they were not to capture territory but to send a message to the piss drinkers who conspired against him and killed his father.

Stop reading wikipedia and look at some real academic sources. Kitab ul Yamini is a primary source if you are really interested in what happened.

 

[russellpeters]

i would recommend that the members use civil language. post reported @sher ali

the anonymity of the internet affords the luxury of using colorful terms. why cant you talk normally and make your point. don't say things you wouldnt say on someones face.

Rats like you probably have no idea that hindu rats killed his father and made incursions unto his territories before he ever campaigned in India. All you know is your falsified british-hindu lies against one fo the greatest generals in history.
