Regarding your enquiry about the people of Afghanistan who were Buddhist before they accepted Islam, show me the proof if there were any atrocities committed on them just because they were Buddhist?
Applying your own reasoning what happened to the people of South America, N. america and Canada who were they before europeans ransacked their land? Were they all catholics and protestants? Describe to me in detail how they accepted the religion of Christ who never called his teachings as christianity.
Would you please explain to me how his name changed from "YESU MASIH" to Jesus Christ and why 99% of Christians hate to speak his language the Jews speak Hebrew the language of Moses, Muslims teach and pray in Arabic the language of their Prophet. If I translate a poetry of any language to any other language the soul of that poetry die, same is true with the prose.
Regarding other question on Islam, I can not give you explanation for so many things you have asked me for, but I can verify this that at the time of Muslim rule in India there was no atrocities were committed by any ruler of that time. Regarding atrocities committed by the people in Thailand and other places by so called Muslims they are Wahabis who follow the teachings of Abdul Wahab and Abdul Wahab was declared as heretic and deviant and was hanged by the Turks in early last century.
Lots blessing on you.
