The Muslim rules in India viewed themselves as foreign conquerors. They tried to maintain a strict separation between the Muslim ruling class and the mass of the Hindus population. Muslim rules in India were intolerant of other faiths.

Conflict between Hindus and Muslims started in early 20th Century with Pan-Islamism. The British aided the divide by partitioning India and Pakistan. In 1971, Pakistan lost Bangladesh because of ethnic reasons in which India helped Bangladesh. To take revenge the Pakistani army and its intelligence wing, ISI, carries out terrorist acts in India and foments conflicts between Hindus and Muslims. Many a times, these conflicts are created by politicians to garner votes.

Answer 1
I believe the Hindu Muslim conflict began when the Muslims invaded India, and they basically destroyed everything sacred to Hindus. They destroyed cattle, Brahmin, temples, mosques, and even put a tax on Non Muslims.

On Above Answer

  • The claims above are fully groundless. Muslims never destroyed any building or temple or tree or any structure in any country under their control. Check western historians in this regard. (Muslims have actually destroyed numerous historical and regional artifacts from Mohammed's smashing of centuries-old idols to the destruction of Buddhas in Afghanistan. The idea that Muslims never destroyed religious institutions or religious icons with which they do not agree is ridiculous. However, the Muslims in India were typically more tolerant than those outside of India.)
  • Is it logical that Muslims would destroy mosques as claimed above? (No, the person above misspoke. Before Islam came to India, there were no mosques by sheer logic.)
  • Is it logical that Muslims would destroy cattle as claimed above? (Conquerors have a tendency to pillage, so yes, it is quite logical.)
  • You can refer to Spain history and compare what Muslims did there when Spain was under Muslims control with what happened after Muslims lost control of Spain. (The Almohads were quite famous in Spain for massacring both the Muslim and non-Muslim population during their brief rule and Castillian King Alfonso VI granted amnesty to all Jews and Muslims in his realm after he conquered Toledo. Both Muslims and non-Muslims in Spain have been benevolent and committed atrocities. Furthermore, the Muslims who ruled Spain were very different people living at a different time period than those who controlled India, so the comparison is a little odd.)


Answer 2
Conflict between Hindus and Muslims started due to political reasons fabricated by the English India Occupiers to split the country apart into two parts that became Pakistan and India in order to ensure more control over both parts. Gandhi leader himself blessed prophet Muhammad and appraised him. Refer to the question below for more information on how Muslims treat non Muslims.

The first Hindu-Muslim conflict in the modern age was the Moplah Rebellion in Kerala in 1921 in which Muslims killed a lot of Hindus.

Answer 3
In terms of who first attacked whom, the Hindus of India were not historically imperialistic beyond the borders of the Indian subcontinent. The first Muslim-Hindu interaction, therefore was when Babur the Mughal (a Muslim) conquered lands on the southern side of the Hindu Kush mountains. Therefore the first blows between Hindus and Muslims were at Muslim hands. However, in the case of Babur, being Muslim was incidental and not an important defining aspect of his identity.

The Mughal Rulers were all Muslim but varied in how they treated the Non-Muslim Indian population. There were those like Akbar the Great who treated Non-Muslims with a high degree of tolerance, including repealing the jizya tax and incorporating numerous protections for Hindus (as well as for Sikhs and Christians). This led to his popularity in Hindu circles and resentment from the Muslim scholarship who were used to having unique privileges in Mughal India. His grandson, King Aurangzeb, had exactly the opposite temperament. He is well-known in India for forcibly converting Hindus to Islam as well as destroying major Hindu Temples such as the Kashi Vishwanath temple, Kesava Deo temple, and the Somnath temple.

Of course, Hindus did not take theses offense lying down, whence the conflict comes.

When did the Christians start killing the Jews for the death of Christ?

It was not a routine activity. It became very marked for the first (?) time during the First Crusade (1095-96), but was later condemned by the Church. However, I'm not sure that the motive was avenging the death of Christ. The Jews were seen as 'infidels' rather like the Muslims.


Is there always antagonism between Christians and Muslims?

Answer 1No.There is no antagonism between Christians and Muslims. The conflict just started during the Crusades invasion of Muslim countries to seek support of their ruling in home countries. However, there is never hatred or antagonism between Muslims and Christians.Although Christians consider Muslims as unbelievers Muslims believe in the Bible as God holy book and believe in Jesus (peace be upon him) as a prophet. Muslims believe in Allah (or God in English and same God worshiped in Christianity and Judaism) as the one and only one God with no partner, no son, no companion, no father, no associate and no equivalence.Jesus never claimed that he is God or son of God. It is well understood that Islam in its general sense as submission to the Almighty God is the God religion since start of universe creation. Islam per the Bible revelation to Jesus is called Christianity and Islam per the Quran God revelation to Muhammad (Peace be upon him) through the angel Gabriel is called the very name Islam.There is full chapter in Quran named "Maryam" or the virgin Mary. Jesus is mentioned explicitly in Quram more than prophet Muhammad (peace be upon them). Christians are praised in Quran. Christians; as Jews; are decribed in Quran as holders of the book as they are holders of the God holy books of the Bible and Torah; that Muslims believe in their divinity.Quran says about Christians:"You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers [to be] the Jews and those who associate others with Allah; and you will find the nearest of them in affection to the believers those who say, "We are Christians." That is because among them are priests and monks and because they are not arrogant. And when they hear what has been revealed to the Messenger, you see their eyes overflowing with tears because of what they have recognized of the truth. They say, "Our Lord, we have believed, so register us among the witnesses. And why should we not believe in Allah and what has come to us of the truth? And we aspire that our Lord will admit us [to Paradise] with the righteous people." And why should we not believe in Allah and what has come to us of the truth? And we aspire that our Lord will admit us [to Paradise] with the righteous people." . (Quran, Chapter 5, verses 83-85).Muslims never taught to hate any body due to his/her faith, color, or race or nationality. They are taught per Islam and Quran laws to be kind and peaceful to those who are kind and peaceful to them.Refer to questions below for more information.Answer 2This question hinges on the word "always". So, NO, there is not always antagonism between Christians and Muslims. New York City, USA, Toronto, Canada, and Tiranë, Albania are three cities where there is no antagonism between Christians and Muslims even though there are large numbers of both.However, there is often antagonism between Christians and Muslims in countries in the Islamic world because Christians lack many of the rights and protections that their Muslims brothers take for granted. Such rights may include (depending on the country): right to proselytize, right to build new houses of worship, right to petition for grievances, equality in testimony, rights to receive land or money as inheritance from Muslims, right to freely convert to Christianity, etc.
