BBC whitewashing all Islamic nastiness about Nalanda India

Of course it's supposed to be thereligion.of. Peace (bs)

Here is a typical example of the BBC leaving out some extraordinary facts...

"Nalanda University in northern India drew scholars from all over Asia, surviving for hundreds of years before being destroyed by invaders in 1193

This is from the BBC about the reemergence  of a very ancient university, based on Buddhism.  No mention who invaded and destroyed the highly advanced centre of learning.   This the BBC quote in full:

"Nalanda University in northern India drew scholars from all over Asia, surviving for hundreds of years before being destroyed by invaders in 1193"

Well it turns that it was destroyed by a raider Islamic army, who imposed Islam and quite amazingly was a period of the highest amount of conversions to Islam and mosque building.  You wouldn't even get a hint of this from the BBC article. 

Quote from the wiki entry: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nalanda)

"Nalanda was ransacked and destroyed by an army underBakhtiyar Khilji in 1193. The great library of Nalanda University was so vast that it is reported to have burned for three months after the invaders set fire to it, ransacked and destroyed the monasteries, and drove the monks from the site."

"The Persian historian Minhaj-i-Siraj, in his chronicle the Tabaqat-I-Nasiri, reported that thousands of monks were burned alive and thousands beheaded as Khilji tried his best to uproot Buddhism^[13] the burning of the library continued for several months and "smoke from the burning manuscripts hung for days like a dark pall over the low hills."^[14]

In fact it was so disastrous that it ceased to be a centre of learning until now!!!!

Syrian madness

"While willing to engage with the rebels, Canada is among the few western governments refusing to recognize the opposition rebel coalition as the legitimate representative of the Syrian people.

"Our strong concern has been, and continues to be, the number of radical jihadists that have entered parts of the opposition and, in our view, that's not getting better. It is, in fact, getting worse," Baird said.

The UK and France committed to only supplying arms to "moderate" factions within the opposition. Still, the decision to allow the arms embargo to expire came after 12 hours of intense debate among EU member states...."

What moderates?  A bit like trying to find a needle in a haystack.  And what's to say that these arms don't  fall into the hands of less so moderately inclined groups brandishing black flags and imposing the full version of sharia law.  

Is there any way that an arm can distinguish a bad guy, the enemy from a civilian.   

This is sheer madness 

Umar rules for Christian Dhiminis

ACT OF UMAR

  In return for “safety for ourselves, children, property and followers of our religion”

 

 The Christians will not:

  

Build “a monastery, church, or a sanctuary for a monk”;

“Restore any place of worship that needs restoration”;

Use such places “for the purpose of enmity against Muslims”;

“Allow a spy against Muslims into our churches and homes or hide deceit [or betrayal] against Muslims”;

Imitate the Muslims’ “clothing, caps, turbans, sandals, hairstyles, speech, nicknames and title names”;

 “Ride on saddles, hang swords on the shoulders, collect weapons of any kind or carry these weapons”;

“Encrypt our stamps in Arabic”

“Sell liquor”

“Teach our children the Qur’an”;

“Publicize practices of Shirk” – that is, associating partners with Allah, such as regarding Jesus as Son of God. In other words, Christian and other non-Muslim religious practice will be private, if not downright furtive;

Build “crosses on the outside of our churches and demonstrating them and our books in public in Muslim fairways and markets” – again, Christian worship must not be public, where Muslims can see it and become annoyed;

“Sound the bells in our churches, except discreetly, or raise our voices while reciting our holy books inside our churches in the presence of Muslims, nor raise our voices [with prayer] at our funerals, or light torches in funeral processions in the fairways of Muslims, or their markets”;

“Bury our dead next to Muslim dead”;

“Buy servants who were captured by Muslims”;

“Invite anyone to Shirk” – that is, proselytize, although the Christians also agree not to:

“Prevent any of our fellows from embracing Islam, if they choose to do so.” Thus the Christians can be the objects of proselytizing, but must not engage in it themselves;

“Beat any Muslim.”

  

Meanwhile, Christians must obey the following; if not, they could be killed:

 Allow Muslims to rest “in our churches whether they come by day or night”;

“Open the doors [of our houses of worship] for the wayfarer and passerby”;

Provide board and food for “those Muslims who come as guests” for three days;

“Respect Muslims, move from the places we sit in if they choose to sit in them”

“Have the front of our hair cut, wear our customary clothes wherever we are, wear belts around our waist” – these are so that a Muslim recognizes a non-Muslim as such and doesn’t make the mistake of greeting him with As-salaamu aleikum, “Peace be upon you,” which is the Muslim greeting for a fellow Muslim;

“Be guides for Muslims and refrain from breaching their privacy in their homes.”

The Christians swore: “If we break any of these promises that we set for your benefit against ourselves, then our Dhimmah (promise of protection) is broken and you are allowed to do with us what you are allowed of people of defiance and rebellion.”

 

Muhammad declared that the dhimmi cannot walk on the same road as the Muslim.

 “Do not initiate the Salam [greeting of peace] to the Jews and Christians, and if you meet any of them in a road, force them to its narrowest alley.”

Comment on Islamic friendship

A good point  was made on Atlas Shrugs website on the interpretation of a crucial verse from the Koran:

At the other end of the spectrum, it looks like the true Islamist life imitates the Koran "Oh believers, do not take the Yahood and the Nasara, the Jews and the Christians, as awliya." 

The word awliya is the plural of wali. The word wali means many different things. It means friend, it means guardian, it means protector, it means master, it means ally and many other things.

 

So when Allah azza wa jal says do not take the Yahood and Nasara as awliya, it doesn't just mean do not take them as friends. Do not take them as your guardians, your protectors, your allies, your friends, your masters.

 In no way should there be this alliance with the kuffar. Allah says they are allies, they are the awliya, of one another. And whoever makes them a friend, then that person is of them. Allah does not guide those who are sinful.
