[ Date: Sun, 22 Feb 2004 16:30:58 -0500

This period was post partition, and before Ayodhya

Most riots are caused by illegal muslim cow slaughter or
muslims stoning hindu processions or muslims molesting
hindu girls

Muslims attacked hindu processionists, raped hindu girls,
attacked buddhists, xtians, newspapers and cops and
desecrated temples

Out of the 74 riots described below

Unknown = 14
Police initiated = 1
Hindu initiated = 4
Muslim initiated = 55

In other words, Muslims initiated 75% of all riots This
was in a period, where muslims were supposedly defanged
by the sikh-hindu reprisals in the punjab
