D Gray,

Hindustan is an ancient name for India - it has nothing to do with Hinduism per se. And if I am Hindu, why am I defending Islam? Because I am a liberal. I am defending principles ( look up the meaning of the word, if you can). I am not defending my religion, but that of someone else. I presume that is a hard concept for a nativist like you to understand.

If Islam is not much tolerated in India, why is it the second largest Muslim country in the world? I suspect your knowledge of India is limited to single points and cliches. Does the name Abdul Kalam mean anything to you? Nope. Father of the Indian ballistic missile/nuclear program, and the President of India. Zakir Hussain? No? President of India. Fakruddin Ali Ahmed? No? President of India.

You and Petrows must form the know-nothing society of Canada!
