If you read history, in India, the Muslims are the invaders. Islam has been trying to conquer India for almost a thousand years now. The Muslims are the aggressors. I find it amazing that so many people want to try and claim the Muslims are the victims, when theirs is a history of aggressiveness and conquest.

What was a long time ago? Muslim agression is still going on today. Not only in India but all around the globe.

What is clear is that you don't like the facts getting in the way of your opinions.
The 150-year-old Murree Brewery is teeming with activity. One of the Islamic world's most successful breweries will soon launch a rare, one-off product of its distillery: a 20-year-old single malt whisky that is the first of its kind in the Muslim world....
Even today many Muslims continue to enjoy alcohol, albeit at great expense and under cover. Hospitable and rich hosts in the big cities of Islamabad and Karachi ply guests with the finest wines and spirits delivered to their doorsteps by non-Muslim friends or bought on the black market. Of course, the rich aren't the only Muslims who drink here, and tragic deaths from cheap, contaminated bootleg alcohol continue to make the headlines.

This is not a critisism.
I do not find it strange at all. I too remember loads of Iranians from the Shah's time here in the UK not far from where I live. In fact I was friends with a few of them and used to socialise with them. They were no different believe me from we locals when it came to wine, women and song - in fact I would say they were 'over the top' with it. They were extremely friendly, generous and great fun to be with.
like I said before, go to Tunisia, Turkey or some of the other less extreme Islamic nations - they are no different from most west European nations in their habits, vices and attitudes.

The U.S. is not being agressive, not trying to take territory from anyone, which we could easily, if we so desired. Most of the people being killed in Iraq are being killed by Muslims. The U.S. has established an independent government in Iraq, and agreed to voluntarily withdraw from the country. That is not being aggressive.
