Myth 2: Muslims were ‘butchered’ in Gujarat
Posted on May 22, 2008 - Filed Under 12-Concocted Lies and Myths by the media | 86 Comments
Fact: Undoubtedly, Muslims were killed in one-sided attacks in many places in the state- like in Naroda Patiya, Gulbarg Society, Naroda Gram, Sadarpar and other places- but by and large- the riots were not one-sided- and Muslims were hardly the cattle hiding from the slaughter house. As we have seen in a couple of earlier chapters, Muslims were equally on the offensive, at least after the first three days. Muslims killed Hindus brutally in Himmatnagar, Danilimda, and Sindhi Market and other areas of Ahmedabad-as reported by weekly India Today.

See paragraphs 8,9,10,11 and 15 of this story in India Today
The Hindu reported that as early as 1st March 2002 itself, Muslims started violence in Ahmedabad. (See The Hindu’s report on this subject in its issue dated 2nd March 2002).

See last line of 9th paragraph from the top.
Reports of The Hindu on this subject throughout the months of March and April 2002 make it clear that Muslims were on the offensive, called the shots in many areas, drove out Hindus from their houses, started the riots in many cases. India Today’s report on this subject in its issue dated 15 April 2002 also points out this same thing. To read the full story of Attacks on Hindus, open the link.
Around 40,000 Hindus were forced to take shelter in refugee camps. The Dalits suffered almost as much as the Muslims in the riots, only at the hands of the Muslims. On 23 March 2002, 50 Hindu shops were burnt in Ahmedabad’s Revdi Bazaar that caused a loss of 15 crore rupees.
See link:
The Muslims attacked the Hindus on 1st and 2nd March 2002 as well. They are on record starting as many as 157 riots in Gujarat after 3rd March 2002. They did not allow the police and the Army to search for criminals in their areas. They pelted the police and even the Army with bullets and stones, when they arrived to conduct search operations in Muslim areas. The Muslim women formed human chains and cut off power at night so that the criminals could flee with weapons from the Army.

Three judgments of different courts in Gujarat have sentenced some Muslims for rioting in Ahmedabad and Vadodara, post Godhra. On one occasion, 7 Muslims and on another occasion, 9 Muslims were convicted and punished for rioting and killing after Godhra. This will be seen in detail later.
The conviction of Muslims proves that Muslims were equally on the offensive-and not the cattle hiding from the slaughter house that the media makes them out to be.

What I don’t understand is that Hindus are just not united. Why do you think there is a Muslim vote bank? If Hindus are united they themselves can become a vote bank, and what a massive vote bank it would be. Too much caste differences. The Muslim doesn’t make a difference between a Christian, Jew or Hindu, what makes you think that he would treat you differently according to caste? Both would be treated as the kafir. If you look at Muslim countries, rights of non-Muslims are severely curtailed. Gujarat there is in the form of state sanctioned second class citizenry.

What Hindus and What Muslims. Those who are burning with anger over religious reasons may advocate murders and rape. But a true human being cannot. I am an Indian Muslim. If I go four or five generation back, my ancestors were Hindus. So for what reasons I must be killed.
