The derivation of a judgment on the Urheimat question from the alleged motives of the proponents of the contending theories is all-pervading and vitiates the whole debate. Yet, if a theory can be considered wrong simply because it is being used for political ends, it is clear that the AIT itself must be the wrongest theory in the world: one looks in vain for a historical hypothesis which has been more tainted with various political uses including the most lethal ones.

Of course not, and for the same reason there should not be a mosque on a hill that for centuries has been the main site dedicated to Rama.

The rosy presentation of Islam which the secularist press is feeding the public, should be debunked.
