No. I do not care about Mr. Mustafa or the so-called Caliphate. I neither hate them nor love them.

A Canadian guy wore an Arab thobe into a grocery store run by an older Indian Hindu woman. The moment she saw him, she went full Islamophobic and racist toward Arab Muslims and even threatened to call the cops. These are the same people complain about racism against themselves.

Bollywood is so anti-Muslim that in the patriotic movie “Mangal Pandey” (2005), they purposefully suppressed this fact. Major Gordon who fought alongside Indians against British, was a Muslim. Not just him, but hundreds of British had converted to Islam & adopted Hindustani (Urduvi) Muslim culture and fought with their Indian Muslim religious brethren against British in the name of Emperor.

Hindutva extremists used to complain about the old Bollywood, where Indo-Muslim culture dominated the screens, and called it “Urduwood.” Now that Bollywood has been Hinduised, they are gradually realising how ugly it looks. No thanks, Urduwood (↓) was far better.

While India and Indians are known for scams and cheating, Muslims stand out as the only face of hospitality, honesty, and kindness in India. Here, a European visits an Islamic bookstore and even offers ₹200 for a book priced at only ₹80. Despite being offered a higher amount, the shopkeeper refuses and returns ₹420 from the ₹500 note, charging only the actual price of the book. Had it not been a Muslim, we have seen what other Indians do. Remember that driver charging ₹2,000 for a ride worth only ₹10 in Calcutta?

As of today, India has over 1,000 historical mosques lying in ruins, neglected, deteriorating, and decaying. As Indian Muslims have lost sovereignty, they are unable to maintain them. A few Muslim youths visited one such mosque and gave the azaan, which sounded like this.
