But Chisti persisted.<\/p>\n<p>Then Imam got angry and threatened him.  But his anger didn\u2019t stop there.  <a href=\"http:\/\/news.rediff.com\/slide-show\/2010\/oct\/14\/slide-show-1-bukhari-thrashes-scribe-over-ayodhya-query.htm\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">He went<\/a> further and let loose his goons on Chisti and personally went after him to have him thrown out.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>People like him will \u2018not be tolerated by Muslims at any cost,\u2019 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Because they make these Imams and their sympathisers like the Eminent Historians feel really really uncomfortable!!  Until then, Bukhari was giving the same old line that the Cult of Eminent Historians have been repeating (without any evidence of understanding or scholarship) ad nausuem: <i>\u201cAyodhya title suits was based on faith and was not acceptable to the Muslims\u201d.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Basically Bukhari is an extension of Babar.  What one guy demolished by force, the other wants to usurp now by\u2026 force again!  And, if such people as Chistis would come in the way, he will \u2013 as goes the line in India \u2013 \u201cdo the needful\u201d!<\/p>\n<p>Chisti has meanwhile filed an FIR in the Hazratganj kotwali.<\/p>\n<p>Cheating, ill-read and fudging historians backed by fanatic ideologues is quite a combination.  All that these people are after is to enforce a legacy of an equally barbaric leader of invading hordes, who thought destruction and slaughter is the best way to promote his \u201cGod\u201d.  <\/p>\n<p>All those who argue for \u201cStatus Quo\u201d or constructing museums or parks on that land should remember what they are endorsing.  That destruction and slaughter is a valid method to let loose in a civilized world.  <\/p>\n<p>It is shameful for the humanity how the invading hordes from the Middle East have in the brief history of 1400 years turned rich civilizations of Egypt, Persia, and the region from Iraq to Pakistan into a Civilizational Desert.  Anything that they have touched has become a desert as far as any indicator of Civilization is concerned.  If that does not diminish humanity, I am not sure what does?  And if the march of this desert came to as close as to the next door, then the chance that it will take over your own garden one day is not too far fetched.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Thursday, Mohammed Abdul Waheed Chisti, a reporter with a local Urdu daily came to a conference of Shahi Imam of the
