Dear Mr Vishvas,
Exploiting resources either by yourself or through others is an accepted way of life. I believe oil was extracted from Assam and towards Imphal you might check up on that.. I am glad you brought up Arthur Koestler and his God that failed. Indeed he was disillusioned with the way that communism was practised but not with communism itself and what it stood for which was what made him a communist in the first place.
I believe demanding money for something you have not done is akin to "outsourcing" money is made by both parties and therefore acceptable to all. Both your country and mine are involved in being the "doers" in outsourcing. In this case it is the extraction of oil and not rendering a service that is being done.
I tend to agree that the practice of Islam in some cases leaves much to be desired. I also believe that the failure you forsee for Islam could happen happen after 3 days. The 30th of February, the 12th of never and after the day of Judgement. So I wish you a very happy wait.
With regards
