#1 Official figures reveal Muslims log lower educational levels and higher unemployment rates

This is worldwide due to laziness and ignorance!!!!

#2 Undivided India actually had quite a substantial Muslim middle class - in business, the professions, the military etc.
At partition they left for Pakistan. Those that were left were mainly the poor.

#4 Well if you weren't running backwards, trying your best to get back to the 7th century you wouldn't feel so left behind, would you?

Bunch of fucking leeches.

#5 Of course, this is after hundreds of years of Muslim rule where Hindus were oppressed and slaughtered. Any Muslim who feels oppressed today should move to Pakistan or some other Muslim country. I'm sure they will be better off there. /sarcasm
My sympathy meter seems to be broken again - it is still reading zero.

#6 I guess it would be impolite to inquire whether the Christians and Hindus feel "left behind" in Pakistan and Bangladesh. (They would probably settle for being left alone.) Muslims' emotional development seems to become arrested somewhere between 4 and 5, leading to the exaggerated sense of entitlement and the neverending whining about the unfairness of "infidels". If they sent their children to real schools instead of madrassas they might actually become productive instead of dead weight.

#7 "Muslims ruled India for almost 1000 years. It was our culture and heritage," he told IOL. "There was a time when we were rulers and used to sit on thrones. Today things have come to such a pass that jail is the only place where we outnumber other communities," Ismail lamented.

This one quote completely summarizes the entitlement and ruling mentality that Muzzies have been spoon-fed from birth. Jeebus, it's high time to move into the 18th Century, much less the 21st.

#8 Ironically, while millions of Muslims followed their "Qaid-E-Azam" (Great Leader) Mohammed Ali Jinnah into Pakistan, Jinnah's own family did not.

Jinnah's grandson is a multi-millionaire industrialist in Mumbai.

#9 I think the headline should read, "India At 60, Muslims Fail to Keep Pace".

#10 The widow of Abdul Hameed, who sacrificed his life in defense of the country, is on the brink of committing suicide.

If indeed this is true, it is indeed shameful... but indicative of the disregard that Indian politicians have for the military.. rather than any anti-Muslim sentiment.

Company Quarter Master Havildar Abdul Hamid was a soldier in the 4 Grenadiers, Indian Army, who died in the Khem Karan sector during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965, and was the posthumous recipient of the highest military decoration of the Republic of India, the Param Vir Chakra.

Although his PVC citation gives him credit for only 3 Patton Tanks destroyed, it is confirmed that he had destroyed no less than 7 enemy tanks . This is because the citation for Abdul Hamid's PVC was sent on the evening on 9 September 1965 but he destroyed 3 more tanks on the next day, plus the seventh one which also killed him.

At 0800 hours on 10 September 1965 Pakistan forces launched an attack with a regiment of Patton tanks on a vital area ahead of village Cheema on the Bhikkiwind road in the Khem Karam Sector. Intense artillery shelling preceded the attack. The enemy tanks penetrated the forward position by 0900 hours. Realising the grave situation, Company Quarter Master Havildar Abdul Hamid who was commander of a RCL gun detachment moved out to a flanking position with his gun mounted on a jeep, under intense enemy shelling and tank fire. Taking an advantageous position, he knocked out the leading enemy tank and then swiftly changing his position, he sent another tank up in flames. By this time the enemy tanks in the area spotted him and brought his jeep under concentrated machine-gun and high explosive fire. Undeterred, Company Quarter Master Havildar Abdul Hamid kept on firing on yet another enemy tank with his recoilless gun. While doing so, he was mortally wounded by an enemy high explosive shell.

#11 The curriculum at Indian Madaris (madrasas) requires 16% of time devoted to the study of the useless language of Arabic. Over half of same is spent studying Islam, at the expense of the sciences. Islam is a crippler of minds and morals.

#12 Battle of Asal Uttar

Hamids story is folklore in the surrounding villages, but thats not because of this memorialits because of people like Kashmir Singh who survived the war.

A young man during the war, Kashmir Singh still remembers the tanks mowing down their crops. The way the Pakistan army came in, we thought they would capture us all. But then they made a mistake. They mistook Amarkot, a town two kms from here, for Bhikhiwind and took the main road to advance towards Amritsar. On the way, Hamid halted their assault and gave them the Assal Uttar, he says.

Fauja Singh recalls how Hamid blew up the Patton tank leading the Pakistani charge. He killed the Pakistani commander, and blew up several tanks before being felled by enemy bullets.

#13 Patton Nagar

Near the Bhikiwind village in the Khemkaran area, a strip of land was given an imaginary name Patton Nagar for a short while in 1965. It was at Patton Nagar that more than 60 tanks of the Pakistani army were displayed at the end of the september India-Pakistan conflict. The Pakistan Army tanks were captured at the Battle of Asal Uttar by India's 4 Mountain Division

#14 India at 60, Muslims Feel Left Behind

Darth's got it. How is the desire to revert back to the 7^th century being "left behind"?

#15 Because the Koran promises that they will defeat their enemies and rule over them, that they will prosper.

When the Kufr heathens are clearly doing better than they are.. well.. Allah sure didn't promise that...

#16 #15: "When the Kufr heathens are clearly doing better than they are.. well.. Allah sure didn't promise that..."

So maybe allen lied to them, John?

It's the longest-running scam in history.
