Islam: An Ideological Movement for a Peaceful Co-existence

reason I say this is because nowhere is there as great
a number of Muslims as in India. Until a few years
ago, Indonesia was regarded as constituting the
largest Muslim population. But now that situation
has been reversed; there are more Muslims in India
than anywhere else.
Secondly, Muslims in India have far better
opportunities than many other places. For any type
of development and progress, both material and
social, two things are required; peace and freedom.
Both are available in India compared to many
Muslim countries. In Pakistan there is freedom but
no peace; in some Arab countries there is relative
peace but little freedom. India is one country where
both are present.
