ARVIND GHOSH

According to the laws of Jihad, killing, raping, arson and loot become moral methods of warfare when used against infidels. These are not considered as sinful acts any more; on the other hand, such acts are considered as acts of Islamic piety. A mujahid earns most favors from Allah if he has slaughtered the most infidels.

In Islamic society all men, soldiers and civilians are considered fighters for Allah and everyone is supposed to fight against the infidel enemy. This explains why during Islamic invasions in India, the entire population, even non-combatant civilians were subjected to slaughter by the Mohammedans.

The Arabs not only imposed their ruthless rule and totalitarian creed on the countries they conquered; they also populated these countries with a prolific progeny which they procreated on native women. Every Arab worth his race 'married' scores, sometimes hundreds of these helpless women after their menfolk had all been killed. Divorce of a wedded wife had been made very easy by the 'law' of Islam. A man could go on marrying and divorcing at the rate of several women during the span of a single day and night. What was more convenient, there was no restriction on the number of concubines a man could keep. The Arab conquerors used these male privileges in full measure.
