The mantra that 90% of muslims are peaceful is not borne out
by history. For 800 years the muslims conquered India using
weapons and war.

Yet the muslim population never exceeded 15% of total.
There is no way 90% of that 15% were peaceful, because
that boils down to 1.5% of population held sway over 85%
of non-muslims.

The only event which stopped muslim rule in India was when
the Hindu warlord Shivaji defeated muslim rulers militarily.

Thanks for your post. I was ignorant of this. There was a similar incident that stopped the conquest of Europe by Muslims in 712 - The Battle of Tours and Poiters.
