But that poster wasn't wrong.

There seems to be a clear majority in favour of British rule in Hong Kong or, perhaps, a self-rule based on British rule.

The situation in India is vastly different. Some Indians do want British rule, some want a self-rule more like British rule, other's despise the British with a passion and see them as responsible for all of India's ills.

Well, lots of Muslims decided to stay in India because they didn't want to separate. So yeah there's that.
>>
>>1318813
It's not just /pol/ who hates Muslims

It's almost everyone.

Not that I really buy into the whole anti-Islam circlejerk. It's just fundamentalists who are the problem. And even though that's like half of Muslims, I don't think it's that hard to separate and define the two.

But, that's probably an issue for a different thread. maybe.
>>
>>1318815
Also Hindus constantly claim they want a Hindu India. Beating the shit out of women, missionaries , muslims and all other dissidents who say otherwise.

And the Buddhists and Jains are such a minority of people. Pointing out they never asked for their own state is ludicrous. Of course they didn't ask for one. They'd be limited to a few kilometers of resource scarce land, you fuckin idiots.
>>
>>1318813
Dude.

Everywhere Muslims go they cause problems. It is 7th century fundamentalism. Talk to any ex-Muslim, they will tell you how they would be legally executed in any Muslim country for apostsy. It is literally a capital offence to leave the religion, that defines it as a cult.

That's not what you claimed you retard.

That is false. Hindus viewed the Marathas as liberators.

So why all the doctors and middle-class terrorists? Why all the Western Muslim terrorists? Why all the mass terrorism in Poor African Muslim countries, but not Poor African Christian ones?

Osama was a multimillionaire. Islam is a Death Cult that legalizes death to anyone who insults or leaves the religion.
>>
>>1318917
The sum of all of that throughout history doesnt even add to one month of Islamic terror.

I have never head of a Hindu rape or crime gang in UK, but plenty of Paedophile sex rape rings for Christians and Muslims. Abrahamics are notorious for raping kids.
>>
>>1318842
There are pretty much two types of ex Muslims

Those that came from third world trashheaps and complain about Muslims they haven't even met.

And those that came from secular/liberal as fuck families and couldn't buck the fuck up and ignore the screaming fundamentalist preachers Live from the Dakhalakhalakha Emirates on Youtube and the Anti-Islamic criticism memes.

Paris and Hebdo were all married men. Boston Bomber were two kids getting mad pussy, literally went to a party after. San Bernadine was a Couple. Orlando was another married Muslim.

Islam is a death cult by nature. Even in Western society it easily corrupts enough Muslims to be a major problem. It contributes nothing to 21st century society and endangers everyone around it. Islam should be relegated to the histroy bins.
>>
>>1318942
There are people or sex rings in Christian countries but you can't blame them as Christians.

Belgium and Portugal had big ones but calling it a Christian ones is erroneous. Same applies to giving religious levels to ethnic gangs or ignoring the uk's massive child abuse history.
>>

This is what modern Indian Nationalism would want you to believe.

The Muslims among the Indians did not see so, not to mention the Jats and Rajputs spoke of "Maratha Domination."
>>
>>1318942
It's true and you cant deny it. MASSIVE epidemics of Rape at every level in the Christian Churches that went all the way to the Pope's office. Strong rumors and connections with several high profile sex rape rings suggest that he may have been involved with himself.

Hence the damage control and new Hipster Pope that sucks off the feet of refugees and strongly lobbies for millions more muslim refugees into Europe.

Trying to scapegoat another religion to shamefully hide the mass rape hoardes of Priests is dishonest. I am an atheist by the way.

He's a strict traditionalist. He ain't a leftist in the least bit. Left wing atheist faggots are just jealous he's more compassionate than a lefty could ever be.

Nothing changed. India still has the third most Muslims globally. Pakistan being second and Bangladesh being fourth.

Muslims in India are so heavily inbred that this had an eugenic effect on the hindu population that was left behin as they are a people that actually is compelled by religious dogma to go into the neighbooring village to look for a girl of the same caste and not just fucking their 12 year old cousin.

It is better that way, albeit there is still a remaining population in India that breeds faster then it should.

But they are.

I dont say they are inbred because I dont like them, I dont like them because their society has led to inbreeding and thus suffering.

Arabs and South Asian's ain't all Muslims.

They're a big chunk. And have massive fucking problems. And political correctness needs to be fucking destroyed so we can deal with them.

But they are not Islam in general. Criticize them.
>>

Seriously. Don't be afraid to be racist. It's less of a retarded generalization than generalizing a whole religion.

Especially one that basically has no central authority and more schools of thought than almost any other major religion.

Only rural Pakistan is fuvked up and that's from a Pakistani friend who has lived in Pakistan.

Jews have genetic diseases due to marrying within themselves and a certain subset of Finns also suffer a similar problem.
>>
>>1319130
But south asian hindus have religious dogmas that prevent cousin marriage.
Making it a race thing would ve unfair towards the indians.
Look up gotras and enforced exogamy.
Its a religious problem not a racial one as hindu south east asians dont have a genepool as corrupted as the pakistani one.
Sure I searched further and saw that hanbali Islam looks down on it but thats just a small percentage of muslims and while Im sure that there are other muslim countries that do not have such problems it still applies to India and its muslims which this thread was all about.

No part of the current Pakistan voted for Muslim league the fact it was established was as a buffer state to prevent the USSR from turning India red. This was with separate electorates that the Brits instated.

The biggest migration in history. One of the worst genocides. The establishment of the first Islamic state that now hosts more terrorists than any other country. One of the worst mistakes.

Assuming that the Muslim population would not have gone down significantly in the Pakistan/Bangladesh areas then yes. If India+Bangladesh+Pakistan had remained one superstate without one clear religious majority there would have been way more strife.

Not to mention that India's population growth already negated most of the benefits from modernization and industrialization so if it had way more impoverished people there would have been even less improvement.
