    I would not call it "pagans". Pagan was used to demean by christian. I would rather call it "Ancient" religion. From which the story of creation came and adopted by Christian coz you definitely need story to prove the authenticity of your god. So lets demean the original religion and twist their stories and rebrand it.

    Islamic rule in India was a form of colonialism, characterized by the imposition of a foreign islamic culture, religion, and political system on the Indian subcontinent. Muslims were foreign invaders who came to India and imposed their Islamic faith and culture on the indigenous population. They point to examples of the destruction of Hindu temples, the imposition of Jizya tax on non-Muslims, and the forced conversions to Islam as evidence of this colonialist mindset. Muslim social attitudes on modern issues have caused controversy everywhere. Islam to be incompatible with secular society, and that, unlike other religions, Islam positively commands its adherents to impose its religious law on all peoples, believers and unbelievers alike, whenever possible and by any means necessary. Islam allows to propagate abuses, such as the mistreatment of women and homosexuals, and slavery. They also state that multiculturalism allows a degree of religious freedom that exceeds what is needed for personal religious freedom and is conducive to the creation of organizations aimed at undermining secular values. According to poll, high people had an unfavourable view of Islam, higher than for any other religion.

      If wishes were horses. Mister it is mentioned here that they were warlike people. Afghanistan and it's adjoining territories were warriors and not peaceful at all before or after Islam. You people talk as if there was no war before Islam. Read your own hindu history. Maybe the British conquered India by way of giving you visas and citizenship to the UK.

    • @annepoitrineau5650

      I understand your point but 1)They are warriors. 2)Fanaticism is not a religion, it is a way to practise a religion or an ideology, and history shows that all ideologies and religions were/are once infected by fanaticism. The only ones I know that might have been exempt were limited to small islands/enclaves with no link to others. And then, they grow out of it: Catholics have stopped bashing protestants for not believing the Virgin Mary remained a virgin even after Jesus's birth, for example. Let's hope Modi's hindus will soon stop killing Muslims accused of killing cows, or that Daesh soon disappears etc etc.

    My first tour in Afghanistan (2004) I served alongside an ASF (Afghan Security Forces; pre-Karzai) whose village had only finally converted to Islam from Paganism during his Father's early Childhood. And yes that is exactly the region of RC East where we were operating. I tried to get some more information about it, and he said "it is said they worshipped Demons/Devils(the translation was a bit muddied the Terp was a bit confused himself about the meaning of the word used), and Fire. The description of the people doesn't quite hit the mark; I found the Nuristani to be remarkably striking in their features. They are, to use an archaic turn of phrase, a Handsome Race of People; and they are Daring to a Fault in Combat. One of our ASF was shot through both feet, and his legs were riddled with shrapnel; six weeks later he was back out on Patrol with us. These guys would almost beg to be allowed to go join a fight even if it was Green on Green, and they could tell who was fighting whom by the area we could hear shooting going on. "Don't worry, Boss; it's just fight over grazing for goats", or "Fighters, can we go?".

      Met one nuristani person at Ft Polk JRTC and his physical appearance definitely made me think that their claim of being descended from Alexander the great's army might have some legitimacy due to his appearance being similar to the likeness of Greek statues. He was pleasantly surprised I knew that origin myth.
