Appointing Yogi Adityanath as Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh is a retrograde step for the BJP government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, wrote an editorial in Mint. Speaking about Muslims, Adityanath apparently said,"In places where there are 10-20% minority population, stray incidents take place. Where there are 20-35% of them, serious communal riots take place and where they are more than 35%, there is no place for non-Muslims." Sounds bad. But then, why are Hindus fleeing districts in West Bengal? Writing for Bloomberg, Mihir Sharma scorns the idea of 'love jihad' wherein Muslim boys seduce Hindu girls to turn them into Muslims. "If they convert one Hindu girl, we will convert 100 Muslim girls. If they kill one Hindu, then 100 we too will..." said Adityanath, allowing the crowd to complete the sentence. "Enslaving the families of the Kuffar and taking their women as concubines is a firmly established aspect of the Shariah that if anyone were to deny or mock, he would be denying or mocking verses of the Qur'an and the narrations of the Prophet," said Dabiq, a magazine published in English by ISIS. These are Arabs and so understand what is written, which we do not. "Muslims have ruled India for 1100 years. Lacs of Hindus were beheaded. Crores of Hindus were converted into Islam," said Maulana Jhakeer Naik. "It is out of fear that Hindus even today chant: 'Hindu Muslim Bhai Bhai'. This is the strength of Islam." True. If they ruled the country for 1100 years why are Muslims in India so backward that they compare themselves with Dalits. Muslims complain about discrimination but Maulana Wahihuddin denied that there is any. The new state of Telengana has reserved 12% of jobs and places in higher education for Muslims. Muslim rule was not just in India. Genghis Khan established a huge empire stretching right across Europe. This was followed by the Ottoman empire which stretched from the Middle East all over eastern Europe. There are 48 Muslim majority countries in the world but not one is economically as advanced as the US, Europe, Japan, or South Korea. By 2070 Islam will be the largest religion in the world according to Pew Research Center. Why then do they complain of being victims? So what of Adityanath? Turns out that he is popular among Muslims in his constituency of Gorakhpur in eastern UP. Muslims are employed in his ashram and he welcomes anyone with problems. The anger against Adityanath's appointment is because of a hatred of Hindutva by a section of the 'liberal' media. "But there is no contradiction between development and Hindutva, even militant Hindutva of the Yogi Adityanath variety," writes Manas Chakravarty. "Hindutva and capitalist development march hand in hand, until recently in khaki shorts." Even after so much slaughter we Hindus are still thriving. Isn't that strength?
