[edit] cleanup/sourcing/neutrality issues

article reads like a personal essay and is virtually unsourced in most areas. furthermore, there are multiple neutrality problems (i.e. "In Islam, Hinduism found a very different concept of god, truth, violence and civic society than it had encountered earlier.", "The zealous Arab invaders...", "The Jaziya tax was imposed on Hindus for the crime of practicing their religion." - and that's only a sample from the first paragraph.)

[edit] Disagreement with user Itaqallah

I agree that the article does not source well. But islamic and hindu viewpoints are very different. hence the conflict. and India there was jaziya applied to non muslims. 72.93.107.15 (talk) 04:25, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Islam vs. Hinduism

I think the main contention is for earlier muslims to define Hindus as either idolaters or monotheists... it cannot be denied that many temples were destroyed for baring 'idols' Under Islam, what rights would Hindus have? The main room for movement and cooperation I feel was done mainly due to Sufi influence, Akbar and Kabir helped to bridge the gap it wasn't all negative though both weren't exactly muslims...Domsta333 (talk) 10:18, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
