THE CALL "DEATH TO SECULARISM" WAS GIVEN IN INDIA IN 712 AD WHEN MOHAMMED BIN QASIM CONVERTED THE PEOPLE OF SINDH BY SWORD.
THE ALLIANCE OF HINDUS AND BUDDHISTS OUGHT TO HAVE COUNTER ATTACKED AND GONE ON TO MECCA TO CATCH AND HANG MOHAMMED BIN QASIM AND HIS ENTIRE CLAN. THE TERRIFIED INDIANS FAILED TO RALLY AND MISSED THE ONE AND THE ONLY ONE CHANCE GOD GAVE THEM TO SAVE THEIR LAND AND PEOPLE FOR THE NEXT MILLENNIUM.
LATER, WE HEARD THE SAME WILD BEAST'S CRY IN 1525 WHEN THE AFGHAN INVADER BABUR RAZED THE GRAND TEMPLE IN AYODHYA TO GROUND. BY NOW THE NATIVES OF INDIA WERE TOO CRUSHED AND SMASHED TO THINK OF ANY RETALIATION.
THE DEFEATED AND DEMORALISED INDIANS COULD ONLY PRODUCE GURUS AND MAHATMAS WHO WENT AROUND CHANTING, "HINDUS AND MUSLIMS ARE ONE AND THE SAME THING!"
THE WRETCHED HINDUS OF INDIA HEARD IT AGAIN ON AUGUST 16, 1946, A FULL YEAR BEFORE THEIR DEADLY PARTITION, WHEN THE MUSLIMS UNLEASHED MASSACRES AND BLOODSHED IN NOAKHALI DISTRICT OF UNITED BENGAL TO SUPPORT THEIR DEMAND FOR DIVIDING THE GRAND PROVINCES OF BENGAL, PUNJAB AND THE REST OF INDIA, IN ORDER TO CREATE THEIR LETHAL, DEVASTATING, SPEARATIST AND FUNDAMENTALIST ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF PAKISTAN.
THAT IS WHEN THEY DID THE TOTAL ETHNIC CLEANSING OF THE UNFORTUNATE HINDUS AND SIKHS WHO COULD NOT FLEE TO SAFETY IN TIME. BY THEN BLEEDING BROKEN BHARAT (INDIA) WAS SO DEMORALISED THAT THERE WAS NEITHER ANY RETALIATION AGAINST THE MUSLIMS NOR ANY MENTION OF PARTITION IN HER CONSTITUTION.
TODAY WHILE THE HINDUS ARE DREAMING OF RAISING THEIR GRAND TEMPLE FROM THE RUINS IN AYODHYA, THE MOHAMMEDANS ARE PLANNING THEIR NEXT CONCERTED BOLD AND DARING MOVE TO HOIST THE ISLAMIC FLAG OVER RED FORT IN DELHI ONCE AGAIN. IT FLEW THERE UNCHALLENGED UNTIL IT WAS BLASTED BY THE GLORIOUS "EAST INDIA COMPANY" FROM BRITAIN IN 1857 AD.

......................Death to America

America's war on terrorism did not begin in September 2001. It began in November 1979.
That was shortly after Ayatollah Khomeini had seized power in Iran, riding the slogan "Death to America" - and sure enough, the attacks on Americans soon began. In November 1979, a militant Islamic mob took over the U.S. embassy in Tehran, the Iranian capital, and held 52 Americans hostage for the next 444 days.
The rescue team sent to free those hostages in April 1980 suffered eight fatalities, making them the first of militant Islam's many American casualties. Others included:
April 1983: 17 dead at the U.S. embassy in Beirut.
October 1983: 241 dead at the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut.
December 1983: five dead at the U.S. embassy in Kuwait.
January 1984: the president of the American University of Beirut killed.
April 1984: 18 dead near a U.S. airbase in Spain.
September 1984: 16 dead at the U.S. embassy in Beirut (again).
December 1984: Two dead on a plane hijacked to Tehran.
June 1985: One dead on a plane hijacked to Beirut.
After a let-up, the attacks then restarted: Five and 19 dead in Saudi Arabia in 1995 and 1996, 224 dead at the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in August 1998 and 17 dead on the USS Cole in Yemen in October 2000.
Simultaneously, the murderous assault of militant Islam also took place on U.S. soil:
July 1980: an Iranian dissident killed in the Washington, D.C. area.
August 1983: a leader of the Ahmadiyya sect of Islam killed in Canton, Mich.
August 1984: three Indians killed in a suburb of Tacoma, Wash.
September 1986: a doctor killed in Augusta, Ga.
January 1990: an Egyptian freethinker killed in Tucson, Ariz.
November 1990: a Jewish leader killed in New York.
February 1991: an Egyptian Islamist killed in New York.
January 1993: two CIA staff killed outside agency headquarters in Langley, Va.
February 1993: Six people killed at the World Trade Center.
March 1994: an Orthodox Jewish boy killed on the Brooklyn Bridge.
February 1997: a Danish tourist killed on the Empire State building.
October 1999: 217 passengers killed on an EgyptAir flight near New York City.
In all, 800 persons lost their lives in the course of attacks by militant Islam on Americans before September 2001 - more than killed by any other enemy since the Vietnam War. (Further, this listing does not include the dozens more Americans in Israel killed by militant Islamic terrorists.)
And yet, these murders hardly registered. Only with the events of a year ago did Americans finally realize that "Death to America" truly is the battle cry of this era's most dangerous foe, militant Islam.
In retrospect, the mistake began when Iranians assaulted the U.S. embassy in Tehran and met with no resistance.
Interestingly, a Marine sergeant present at the embassy that fateful day in November 1979 agrees with this assessment. As the militant Islamic mob invaded the embassy, Rodney V. Sickmann followed orders and protected neither himself nor the embassy. As a result, he was taken hostage and lived to tell the tale. (He now works for Anheuser-Busch.)
In retrospect, he believes that passivity was a mistake. The Marines should have done their assigned duty, even if it cost their lives. "Had we opened fire on them, may be, we would only have lasted an hour." But had they done that, they "could have changed history."
Standing their ground would have sent a powerful signal that the United States of America cannot be attacked with impunity. In contrast, the embassy's surrender sent the opposite signal - that it's open season on Americans. "If you look back, it started in 1979; it's just escalated," Sickmann correctly concludes.
To which one of the century's great geostrategist thinkers, Robert Strausz-Hupé, adds his assent. Just before passing away earlier this year at the age of 98, Strausz-Hupé wrote his final words, and they were about the war on terrorism: "I have lived long enough to see good repeatedly win over evil, although at a much higher cost than need have been paid. This time we have already paid the price of victory. It remains for us to win it."
