This policy of appeasement of the Muslims was started by none other than
M.K.Gandhi (I would expect for reasons of his own - maybe dreams of
becoming the ONE leader of both Muslims and Hindus). And look where it

the majority to the unreasonable demands of the minority!

the govts are having to fight a bunch of Isalmic radicals!
