1. There was scarcely any difference in DNA of the Germans and the British. And yet we know that they have come off against each other in two of the bloodiest wars in history. The point to note is that their differences were only ideological.

2. The differences between Hindus and Muslims are religious, political, ideological, cultural, historical and social. It is NOT about any sort of DNA. Even a flawed understanding of the DNA is irrelevant here.

3. If an attempt is made to refer to the 'Hindu past' of Muslims then it is once again useless. The Muslims are only too aware that once they were Hindus. They called it their past in Jahiliyah, when their idolatrous and erring ancestors worshipped false gods.

4. The moment of their conversion is being remembered all too vividly by them and record of who converted in their generations is often remembered fondly. That generation which converted to Islam is hailed as the golden generation that saw the light of Islam & rejected Hinduism.

5. If an attempt is made to appeal to the 'ancestor-worshipping sentiment' within the Muslims then we should well know that ancestor worship in Islam is nothing short of idolatry. It is a sign of the pagan past where Allah had competition. Ancestors are hated in Islam.

6. When Prophet Muhammad was asked about the fate of his mother he matter of factly replied that she would also go to Hell (Jahandum) as she never converted to Islam. He gave the same reply for his uncle who brought him up.

7. And the behavior of the Prophet is exemplary in Islam. Any appeal to the ancestors of Muslims will only lead them to hate Hindus more, for the living Hindus today remind them of the Jahiliyah in which their ancestors were earlier.

8. The first step of winning a war is to identify the opponents clearly and unequivocally. The first step of defeat is to fudge the boundaries lines between us and them. I only hope our society makes the right choice, irrespective of what our leaders do.
