Destroying places of worship of other faiths and destruction of Idols has been a standard trade-mark of Mohammadan invaders for last 14 centuries; all parts of India ruled by them became scenes of this ideological crime. They destroyed everything their ossified brain could not understand. Extraordinarily advanced Indian spirituality and its numerous symbols were completely beyond the grasp of demonic mind that was only capable of plunder, killing and rape. Hindu Temples with their mind boggling wealth and absence of any protecting force encouraged them to put together mercenary armies and launch attack on Temples like the one in Somnath. Every successful plunder rewarded them with copious booty, the only source of their livelihood. And, reflecting their absurd thinking, these Idol destroyers actually worship Stone, a Black Stone in the Saudi Arabia! Moreover, most of them worship even graves! Another absurdity is that they called their ideology, “religion of peace” but actively associated barbarism and violence with it and proudly called it the “Might of Islam“!! So whenever they indulged in plunder and destruction, in their medieval logic they did it to establish the “Might” or “Power” of their ideology. Even today, they cockily threaten others in the name of Islam
In fact plunder has been the basic source of Islamic economy right from the initial days. In New Delhi, there is a late 12th century mosque adjacent to Qutub Minar, called Quwwat ul Mosque (Might of Islam). It was built from ruins of 27 Temples that were destroyed for this purpose. While the so-called leftist and Islamic historians cockily call it “Might of Islam”, in reality it should be called “Shame of Humanity”. In fact, practically every so-called “Islamic” structure created by them during the dark centuries in India can be rightly called “Shame of Humanity”. They not only offend every sane human being, but they even fill some rare free thinking Muslims with deep shame and guilt. A lot of Indian Muslims are even outraged to discover that they have been fooled into respecting barbaric mass killers and looters and neurotic criminals as their “Islamic Heroes.” For example, fanatic Aurangzeb who killed his brother (Dara Shikoh) and daughter and tortured his father is Hero of Indian mullahs, but the highly learned Dara is a non-entity. In modern times, APJ Abdul Kalam doesn’t inspire Indian mullahs but traitor Jinnah and lords of Al Qaeda, ISIS, Taliban etc charm them. Choosing “wrong Heroes” to emulate is the self imposed curse of Indian (and Pakistani) Muslims.
Even today, in the “Islamic State” called Pakistan every now and then Temples, Gurudwaras and Churches and even ancient Buddha Statues get destroyed. What inspires such sub-human and lunatic conduct? It is the influence of their literature written by violent uncivilized Arab tribals between 7th to 9th centuries. They offer plenty of excuses and justifications to hate and kill non-Muslims (Kafir) and destroy everything connected with their culture. Believers are strongly discouraged from applying their rational thinking on the content of these Books — and must blindly accept whatever the mullah tells even if it is completely absurd, immoral or harmful. As a result, the believers grow up brainwashed that their imaginary Allah is the “Only god” and all other “gods” are fake and all other religious philosophies are false. And therefore, the believers can target them as a matter of “Religious Duty” or “Divine Right”. Thus, it is no surprise that the Chinese got alarmed the moment they discovered ideological violent behavior among the believers and branded them “mental patients” who must be treated. So the Red country set up mental health centers to reform them so that they can think and behave like normal humans. The communist regime has even banned the name “Mohammad”, doesn’t allow men to keep beard or women to wear tent like full covering (called Hizab, Burqa etc). The communists have also demolished all Arab type architecture on the mosques and replaced them with Chinese architecture that blends with rest of the buildings. And surprise, a big surprise: no global champion of Islam — the Saudis, Turks, Pakistan, or Iran — ever dare say a single word against China! This exposes emptiness of so called Muslim brotherhood.
Who wrote this literature? They got written on the orders of the tribal lords during the 7th to 9th century. For easy and wider acceptance the writers tried connecting their ideology with Judaism and Christianity. These books explicitly encourage the followers to humiliate non-Muslims, insult their faith and even kill them — as part of their “pious religious duty”! You heard it correctly! These Books prescribe humiliating, insulting non-Muslims and killing them as a Holy Islamic Duty for all Muslims! And, dying doing so is still holier!! Such martyrdom instantly transports the killers to Jannat (another fanciful imagination) where plenty of beautiful virgins wait for them to offer eternal sex-pleasure!! Even in today’s 21st century digital world, nothing has changed in their thinking and their behavior still remains primitive. If Tughlaq, Khilji, Lodi, Babur, Nadir Shah and Abdali invaded nations wielding the ‘Sword of Allah‘ in the Islamic dark-age of the past, their modern avatars — the ISIS, Al Qaeda, Taliban, Boko Haram, Lashkar-e-Toiba, Lashkar-e-Islam, Jaish-e- Mohammad, and their clones — are doing their best to keep the stone-age mafia cult alive. And, don’t be surprised to know — that they even target Mosques !! Suicide attacks on mosques to kill the innocent praying people is a regular news from Pakistan and Afghanistan. In 1979 they even attacked and damaged the Grand Mecca mosque and hijacked it for two weeks!! It was meant to force the Saudi Monarch to impose medieval laws and adopt a legal system that explicitly discriminated against women and non-Muslims as prescribed in the literature. Thus, the ISIS, Al Qaeda, Taliban type terror groups must be seen as the true practitioners of the medieval literature. In the Gandhian thinking, the believers are exonerated as innocent because they are only following the Books! Historians such as Pakistani Tarek Fateh (who now lives in Canada) explicitly asserts that right after Prophet Mohammad’s death some ‘unscrupulous elements’ hijacked his religious teachings and completely twisted them to promote violence of political gains. As a result, the true message (of peace and compassion) never really spread among his followers. The manner in which these ‘hijackers’ hunted down Prophet’s kin and killed them brutally gives strong credence to the assertion that what spread over the century is “mullah’s political Islam” and not the Prophet’s religious Islam.
After originating in the Arab desert, this violent cult spread outwards, destroying societies and subjecting humanity to unspeakable atrocities. The highly spiritual ancient Vedic/Buddhist Indian civilization also fell to their sub-human barbaric conduct. Right since the first attack by Mohammad bin Qasim on Sindh in 715 AD (to punish Raja Dahir for sheltering Mohammad’s descendants!!), they kept up their barbaric attacks and made major in-roads three centuries later. Since then for next 700 years, every Islamic invasion brought the kinds of horrors and sub-human behavior that betrayed all sense of human sanity and civility. Temples like the Somnath always remained special targets due to their opulence. Living on loot and ‘booty’, the uncivilized barbarians could neither imagine creating such immense wealth in the primitive uncivilized societies where they came from, nor did they possess mental capacity to understand the subtle Vedic/Buddhist culture that made Indian society so rich, so spiritually developed and so peaceful. During the centuries of Islamic dark-age, these fake Muslims destroyed countless Temples and violated the sanctity of every spiritual-educational center. World’s holiest spiritual abodes on the planet in Ayodhya, Kashi and Mathura also witnessed their beastly conduct. Their crime scene in Ayodhya was cleared recently, but evidences of their satanic deeds still exist in the spiritual cities of Kashi and Mathura and numerous other places across India. Another ugly thing these uncivil creatures did was to break Idols in the Temples and plant them underneath the pathway (or stairway) to their prominent mosques. Why? So that Hindus feel constantly humiliated and defeated.
99% Indian Muslims owe their Islamic identity to forced conversions during the centuries of Islamic barbarism. The barbaric ideology was imposed upon their Hindu ancestors who could not resist conversion; those resisted were simply killed as if that glorifies Allah. It is also true that a lot of these second grade (converted) Muslims would trace their Muslim origin to captured Hindu women who were lifelong abused as sex slaves as per their medieval tradition. Yet, rather than reflecting on their humiliating origin and feeling anguished and humbled, over the generations Indian Muslims too have adopted the ruthlessness and cockiness of the barbarians who forced an alien ideology upon their Hindu ancestors. Brain washed to think that barbarism and anti-human conduct makes Muslims superior, they continue living like “hostile aliens” from Arab, Turkey or Persia who own India! This puts them in stark contrast with East Asian Muslims (also forced converted) who have largely maintained basic humanitarian conduct; they still preserve and respect their Hindu heritage while following imposed Islam. This makes shallow thinking Indian Muslims their own biggest enemy and a serious threat to India’s integrity.
Muslims are Real Idol Worshippers; Not Hindus!
Muslims habitually accuse Hindus of worshipping Idols of clay, stone or metal. They attacked Hindu Temples to destroy the Idols; of course, looting wealth was always their major charm. But they are the real Idolaters; their ritual of Hajj is nothing but stone worship, the most primitive form of idolatry. They also accuse Hindus of worshipping animals, rivers and mountains. When they do so, they only reflect their irrational and primitive uncivilized mindset. Read here to understand how by worshipping the black stone in Saudi Arabia, Muslims are the worst example of brainless idolatry.
Hindus enjoy the freedom to create their own object of reverence. They show their gratitude towards animals and various gifts and forces of nature that sustain human life. Muslims remain totally handicapped in this aspect; they have to follow what Arab tribals wrote in the Books imposed upon them. They don’t enjoy the freedom to apply their rational thinking mind.
Why are Muslims Quitting ISLAM?
However, lately a new trend has emerged. A lot of Muslims are quitting Islam, specially after careful self-studying the medieval literature, away from mullahs influence!! With the penetration of internet and social media, a lot of Muslims have started reading their texts by themselves and started applying their rational mind and faculty of logic. Here are two videos of Ex-Muslims describing why they left Islam: Amina Sardar and Uzma Khan This website by an ex-Muslims, an Iranian now living in Canada, is helping Muslims come to their senses and clearly see the absurdities imposed upon them by the maulanas in the name of religion. Here is another website to understand why Islam is so different.
Rising Population of Ex-Muslims in India
The Somnath Temple
One Of the 12 Jyotirlings, Somnath is located in Prabhas Patan near Veraval in the Saurashtra region in the West coast of Gujarat. The Temple is located in such a way that there is no landmass in a straight line between Somnath seashore until Antarctica, as mentioned by a Sanskrit inscription found on the Bāṇa stambha (literally, arrow pillar) erected on the sea-protection wall. It mentions that the pillar stands at a point on the Indian landmass that is the first point on land in the north of the South Pole at that particular longitude.
According to ancient scriptures, the Somnath Temple was first built by Raja Somraj in gold in the Satyayug, then by Raavan in silver in Tretayug, in wood by Krishna in Dwaparyug, and finally in stone by Bhimdev Solanki in Kaliyug. Non Indians and non-Hindus may have to study ancient scriptures to understand this sentence.
In 1026, the temple was looted by Mahmud Ghazni, who took away camel-loads of jewels and valuable wealth from here. Archaeological findings suggest it was rebuilt at least three times before this disgraceful plunder in 1026. Later on, it was destroyed three more times – twice by the barbaric rulers of Delhi Sultanate, in 1297 and 1395. Then again by the fanatic Mughal ruler, Aurangzeb, who destroyed it in 1706, a year before his death.
Debate on Reconstructing the Somnath Temple after Independence
It is interesting to note that Mahatma Gandhi was in favor of rebuilding the temple but not with the State funds. When told that Muslims get State benefits such as Hajj Subsidy etc, so what’s wrong if State funds are used to reconstruct the Temple. He did not change his view. (Why not? It’s typical Muslim Appeasement politics!) and Nehru was against the undertaking right from the beginning. That’s not surprising given his deep-rooted guilt of being a Hindu – he loved everything else. The appointed archaeology expert was only worried about the safety of the fast decaying structure and suggested building a new Temple at another site because:
“The shrine should not be converted into religious use as concourse of people coming from all parts of India and rushing through the dilapidated structure will contribute to its speedy decay.”
Thus, the Junagadh State Administrator (a Britisher) wanted to preserve it as a mere archaeological site – not as a Temple! He argued that the crowds of worshipers would further weaken the already fragile structure and worshipers would make the task of maintenance difficult. The Education Ministry consented to this view. However, the Home Minister Sardar Patel wanted to restore and preserve the Temple, along with necessary safety provisions.
It is highly instructive to note what Kanaiyalal Munshi wrote in his book Somnath, The Shrine Eternal:
In the beginning, some persons, more fond of dead stones than live values, pressed the point of view that the ruins of the old temple should be maintained as an ancient monument. We were, however, firm in our view, that the temple of Somnath was not an ancient monument; it lived in the sentiment of the Whole nation and its reconstruction was a national pledge. Its preservation should not be a mere matter of historical curiosity. Some of my scholar friends had hard things to say about me, for my ‘vandalism’. They forgot that I am fond of history, but fonder still of creative values. When the question was pressed by the Archaeological Department, Sardar expressed his views as follows:- “… The Hindu sentiment in regard to this temple is both strong and widespread. In the present conditions, it is unlikely that, that sentiment will be satisfied by mere restoration of the temple or by prolonging its life. The restoration of the idol would be a point of honor and sentiment with the Hindu public.”
When debate was overs, it was decided to rebuild the Temple – where it always stood.
On January 23, 1949, a Trust was constituted not merely to restore and reconstruct the temple and the idol, but also to improve the surroundings and set up other institutions that may restore the sanctity of Prabhasa Patan and its surroundings. This was to include the construction of rest houses for the pilgrims and setting up of educational institutions for Sanskrit. The Trust was also to attend to the restoration of places like Dehotsarga-the place where Lord Shri Krishna cast off His body.
The architect chosen was Prabhashankar Sompura, and the limestone came from Chorwad which is about 28 km from Somnath. The ruins were pulled down in October 1950 and the mosque present (typical of Mohammadans to desecrate Hindu Temples) at that site was shifted few kilometers away [One really wonders, why its was not destroyed. Muslims don’t need mosques to pray, as per their god-Book. Appeasement again!). The temple was constructed in the ‘Nagar’ style, connecting stone slabs without use of metal. The temple was inaugurated on May 11, 1950, by President Rajendra Prasad. He said in his address:
“It is my view that the reconstruction of the Somnath Temple will be complete on that day when not only a magnificent edifice will arise on this foundation, but the mansion of India’s prosperity will be really that prosperity of which the ancient temple of Somnath was a symbol. …The Somnath Temple signifies that the power of reconstruction is always greater than the power of destruction.”
In 1970, a statue of Sardar Patel was inaugurated by Satya Sai Baba in the temple precinct.
Plunder of Somnath Temple by Mahmud Ghazni in 1026
Practically the entire Maulana class of India take pride that their barbaric Muslim ancestors repeatedly attacked Somnath until they succeeded in the 16th attack! According to a prominent intellectual, who left Islam due to its weak moral and ethical foundations, “plunder” forms the basis of Islamic economy and “fear” binds Muslims together.
Several writers have vividly described how the Somnath Temple was savaged by Gay Mahmud of Ghazni in 1026. It was his 16th attack on India (must be an incurable pathological robber!!). Mahmud took along with him the huge sandalwood doors of Somnath. Booty! These doors adorned his tomb when he died inflicted with Malaria 4 years later in 1030. [The conduct of the followers of Mohammad show that for them the graves and grave-yards are more valuable than pious places of worship.]
Mahmud invaded India 16 times that laid the foundation for centuries of Islamic barbarism in India. He was the son of Sabuktigin, a Turko-Persian slave. Sabuktigin was initially the ruler of Ghazni province in Eastern Afghanistan but soon grabbed most of Afghanistan, Khorasan and Eastern Iran under his fold. His son, Mahmud became the ruler of Ghazni in 998 AD after defeating his brother in a battle (Typical kin-fight for power in barbaric societies).
Muslim writers always see genocide, plunder, destruction and sex slavery as “glorious” and “heroic” behavior — reflecting their Islamic up bringing. Here is a typical example. Al Biruni described Temple’s destruction:
“In January 1026, Somnath Lingam was smashed, after killing 50,000 devotees, and the loot amounted to 20,000,000 dinars, each containing 64.8 grains of gold. The smashed Shivalingam were carried to Ghazni where some of the fragments were turned steps of the Jama Masjid in the city while the rest were sent to Mecca, Medina, and Baghdad to be desecrated in the same manner.”
Another Mohammadan Minhaj-i-Siraj in Tabakat-I-Nasiri (Tabaquat-i-Nasiri) wrote:
When Sultan Mahmud ascended the’ throne of sovereignty, his illustrious deeds became manifest unto all mankind within the pale of Islam, when he converted so many thousands of idol-temples into masjids, and captured so many of the cities of Hindustan, and overthrew and subdued its Raes, Jaipal, who was the greatest of the Raes of Hind, he made captive, and kept him [a prisoner] at ManYazid, in Khurasan, and commanded that he might be ransomed for the sum of eighty dirams. He led an army to Nahrwalah of Gujarat, and brought away Manat, the idol, from Somnath, and had it broken into four parts, one of which was cast before the entrance of the great masjid at Ghaznin, the second before the gateway of the Sultan’s palace’, and the third and fourth were sent to Makkah and Madinah respectively.”
Here is how the Persian historian Kazvini described destruction:
“When Sultan Mahmud, the son of Sabuktagin, went to wage religious war against India, he made great efforts to capture and destroy Somnath, in the hope that the Hindus would then become Mohammedans. He arrived there in the middle of Zu-l-ka’da, 416 A. H. (December, 1025 A.D.). The Indians made a desperate resistance. They kept going in to the temple weeping and crying for help; and then they issued forth to battle and kept fighting till all were killed. The number of the slain exceeded fifty thousand. The king looked upon the idol with wonder, and gave orders for the seizing of the spoil and the appropriation of the treasures. There were many idols of gold and silver, and countless vessels set with jewels, all of which had been sent there by the greatest personages in India. The value of the things found in the temples of the idols exceeded twenty thousand dinars.”
The History of Plunder of Somnath Temple
Believing in the power of terror, destruction and plunder, every savage warrior of ISLAM plundered the pious Somnath Temple; Aurangzeb was the latest beast. But Hindu devotees restored its sanctity after each destruction so that “Sanatan Dharma” continued to inspire humanity generation after generation.
In the 7th century, the dilapidated structure of the Somnath Temple (from the pre-Christian era) was reconstructed by Maitraka kings of Vallabhi in Gujarat. This second structure was destroyed by the Arab governor of Sind named Junayad in 725. It was among the first acts of Islamic barbarism.
It got reconstructed around 815 AD by Nagabhata II of the Gurjara-Pratihara Dynasty, and around 997 AD the Temple was renovated by the king of the Solanki Dynasty.
Destruction by Mahmud Ghazni in 1026
In 1026, the temple was razed by Mahmud, as mentioned earlier.
The Paramara King Bhoj of Malwa and the Solanki King Bhima of Gujarat (Anhilwara) took the initiative to rebuild the temple during 1027-1042. It was a wooden structure which was later replaced by a stone structure by Kumarpala in 1150.
Destruction by Allauddin Khilji in 1296
About 275 years later, in 1296 the temple was destroyed by Allauddin Khilji and his army.
Here is an account of Khilji’s savagery that makes Muslim proud:
The temple of Somnath, which had been rebuilt by the Hindus, was plundered and the idol taken to Delhi for being trodden upon by the Muslims. The whole region was subjected to fire and sword, and Hindus were slaughtered en masse. Kampala Devi, the queen of Gujarat, was captured along with the royal treasury, brought to Delhi and forced into Alauddin’s harem.
Another description of the destruction as quoted from historical sources in Islammonitor:
Alauddin Khilji’s capture of slaves was stupendous and he shackled, chained and humiliated slaves. In the sack of Somnath alone he: “took captive a great number of handsome and elegant maidens, amounting to 20,000 and children of both sexes ..more than the pen can enumerate. The Mohammadan army brought the country to utter ruin, destroyed the lives of inhabitants, and plundered the cities and captured their offspring.”
Many thousands were massacred. Alauddin Khilji had 50,000 slave BOYS in his personal service and 70,000 slaves worked continuously on his buildings.
Padmanabha, a Nagar Brahmin from Vishalnagar, composed the Kanhadade Prabandha in 1455. In it he narrates the same destruction:
“The Mlechchha (asura) stone breakers”, writes Padmanabha in his classic work “climbed up the shikhar of the temple and began to rain blows on the stone idols on all three sides by their hammers, the stone pieces falling all around. They loosened every joint of the temple building, and then began to break the different layers (thara) and the sculptured elephants and horses carved on them by incessant blows of their hammers. Then, amidst loud and vulgar clamour, they began to apply force from both the sides to uproot the massive idol by means of wooden beams and iron crowbars.”
Asura, Mlechchha and Rakshasa are clearly the most appropriate words to describe the conduct of the invading humanoids who brought dark-age upon this ancient pious land of Dharma.
The Somnath Temple was rebuilt by Mahipala I of the Chudasama dynasty of Saurashtra in 1308 and the Linga was installed by his son Khengar around 1340.
Destruction by Muzaffar Shah I of the Gujarat Sultanate in 1395
In 1395 the temple was destroyed by Muzaffar Shah I of the Gujarat Sultanate.
Muzaffar Shah’s destruction of Somnath, taken from M. M. Syed’s “History of the Delhi sultanate”, pp. 184
Next year, in 1395, Muzaffar Shah invaded Somnath, burnt the temple, and destroyed the idol. He killed many Hindus, and left the place after arranging for the erection of a mosque. In 1401, news reached him that the Hindus were trying to restore the temple of Somnath, and revive their customary worship. Muzaffar immediately proceeded thither with an army, and the Hindus, defeated after a sharp encounter, retired to the fort of the lop. This fort also fell after a few days of fighting, and Muzaffar killed the entire garrison, and had the men trampled under the feet of elephants. He then demolished the temple and laid the foundations of a mosque.”
Here is another version of Muzaffar Shah’s Islamic barbarism, from Hindunet The Magnitude of Muslim Atrocities
Next year (in 1395) he led an expedition to Somnath and sacked the temple which the Hindus had built once again. He killed many Hindus to chastise them for this “impudence,” and raised a mosque on the site of the ancient temple. The Hindus, however, restarted restoring the temple soon after. In 1401 AD Muzaffar came back with a huge army. He again killed many Hindus, demolished the temple once more, and erected another mosque.
Unknown devotees rebuilt the Temple yet again!

Are You Feeling Sick already?
After terrorism emerged from Uighur Muslim community in China, the authorities declared Muslims as humans sick with disease called Islam and started large scale reformation centers. They edited the Quran, demolished Arab type architecture from mosques and replaced them with Chinese style, and banned the name “Mohammad”, beard and Burqa.
If you are already feeling sick, reading repeated Asura conduct, you must know that it is all ideological, and an integral part of the so-called Religion of Peace. Even in the 21st digital century, this sick ideology has widespread support. For instance, the terror exporter, Islamic State of Pakistan, proudly sponsors and nurtures a terror group — Jaish-e-Mohammad and it also harbors another gang named Lashkar-e-Islam !! There are over two dozen such groups in Pakistan alone — and they all proudly indulge in terrorism, in the name of Islam. [It is crystal clear — without violence and terror Mullah’s Islam can’t stand on its own strength.]
They all have the same goal: Islamize the planet by slaughtering or converting all Hindus, Jews and Christians of the world. Capturing women and raping them is another of their “favorite” heavenly desire, supported by medieval tradition! Therefore, it is also quite ‘normal’ that many suicide bombers kill themselves because they are brainwashed to expect 72 virgins waiting for them for eternal sex in the Jannat! Maulanas never fail to add charm of Jannat by declaring that the VIRGINS would be 10 feet tall and would stay virgin even after providing endless sex pleasure !!!!
One has to be really brain dead to believe in such absolute absurdities. But then that’s a unique specialty unimagined in rest of the human world!!
Destruction by Aurangzeb in 1706
In 1706, the holy shrine of Somnath was savaged by the fanatic Mughal king Aurangzeb, who used to parade the heads of slain Hindus as a victory trophy!! Below is a description of the destruction as per Kalimat-i-Tayyibat of Inayatullah. It is a collection of letters and orders of Aurangzeb compiled by ‘Inayatullah in 1719 AD. It covers the years 1699-1706 of Aurangzeb’s reign.
In 1706 Aurangzeb wrote to his officers in Gujarat: “The temple of Somnath was destroyed early in my reign. I do not know what the present state of affairs there is. If the idolators have taken to worship of images again, ensure that the temple is destroyed in such a way that no trace remains of the building. Expel every worshiper from the place”.
In 1783, the temple was reconstructed at an adjacent site by the Peshwa of Pune, Raja Bhonsle of Nagpur, Chhatrapati Bhonsle of Kolhapur, Queen Ahilyabai Holkar of Indore and Shrimant Patilbuwa Shinde of Gwalior.
Finally, the Temple as we see today was constructed after independence at the initiative of Patel and Munshi.
Now the real question:
What attracted Islamic Invaders to Somnath Temple
The simplest answer is its enormous wealth and greed to PLUNDER — and the sub-human pleasure of barbarism.
Remember this fundamental truth about medieval tribal way of life: Plunder — The Source of Islamic Economy
The Turko-Arab-Persian invaders had never seen the kind of prosperity India had enjoyed since ages, although it was already on rapid decline by the time Arab tribal ‘wrote Islam’ during the 7 – 9 centuries, AD. In India, being a land of spirituality and Vedic wisdom since ancient times, people were always inclined towards piety and purity of conduct — every thing revolved around “right” moral and ethical values. Despite the onset of superficial rites and rituals and various distortions, they still relished the serene atmosphere of Temples to worship their deities and undertake “Dharma” practices. People (rich or poor) profusely donated in temples, Gurukuls and Yoga Ashrams – knowing the importance of Dana as a ‘good karma’ that brings ‘good result.’ This understanding still pervades India from North to South – just look at how liberally Hindus donate at the Vaisho Devi temple in north, at the Tirupati Temple in the south, the Saibaba temple in Shirdi in the west, besides so many other temples across the country. Thus, even centuries ago temples were always overflowing with opulence – reflecting people’s devotional and pious mindset. But the foolish and greedy looters only saw the wealth; they could not grasp the “Dharmic” way of living that created it. This is the biggest misfortune of Indian Muslims.
Here is another harsh truth.
Do you know that today various state governments have laws to collect revenue from Hindu Temples and take over Temple properties? Of course, they can’t touch Churches and Mosques. Why? Because Hindus are inherently highly tolerant and India is secular!!
The Grandeur of Somnath Temple
Being one of the 12 Jyotirling, the Somnath Temple also had special importance. It was also a fabulous Temple with a unique architectural marvel. Its spiritual significance is profusely mentioned in various ancient scriptures. The main idol in the sanctum sanctorum was a levitating linga. Moreover, the temple is located near a triveni sangam. All these factors made the Somnath Temple an important pilgrimage destination. Its grandeur spread far and wide beyond India. The resulting opulence attracted greedy looters from the uncivilized outside world.
Al Biruni describes Somnath Temple as follows.
“300 musicians, 500 dancing girls and 300 barbers to shave the head of visiting pilgrims. Somnath’s glory and fame are legendary and revenue collected from ten thousand villages was spent on maintenance of the temple. Two thousand Brahmins served the idol and a golden chain attached to a huge bell plate announced the commencement of prayers.”
In societies outside Indian borders, wealth was limited to war-lords, kings and their aristocrats while public remained burdened by oppressive taxes. The societies from where the Muslim invaders came were largely tribal, utterly uncultured and uncivilized. Their basic means of living was raiding passing caravans or attacking rival tribes for BOOTY — wealth, women and cattle. In the absence of powerful kings in India in that period, the defenseless Temples overflowing with opulence always attracted them – plenty to grab!
Since there was enormous amount of wealth in Hindu Temples, the booty could easily cover the cost of invasion – salary of hired soldiers, cost of weapons, food, transport, etc.
An important point must be noted here. Why did most Muslim invaders chose to stay in India after victory? The answer is simple: They chose to stay in India because they felt safer here, lording over the peaceful and spiritually oriented Hindus, than in their own uncivilized and violence ridden societies. They were afraid of their own photocopies back home!
The nonsense of 72 Virgins in Jannat — but many Muslims die for it !!
Plunder Mania!
The word “Plunder” has a special “holy” appeal for ‘scholars’ of Mullah Islam.
A Pakistani ex-cricketer, now a maulana, was found boasting: “We (Muslims) are so determined that once we decide to do something we firmly persist until we succeed. Look how our ancestors never stopped attacking the Somnath Temple over centuries and by 1947 it was almost completely dilapidated.”
One Indian maulana was recently complaining: In the past, our ancestors destroyed Somnath Temple so many times. Why aren’t we attacking it now !!
When will Islam End !!
