"It is this message that allows Muslims, even rational, logical and educated Muslims, to claim that the Gyanwapi Mosque built atop the grand Kashi Vishwanath temple is on Waqf land.72 So, was the grand Kashi Vishwanath Temple demolished by Aurangzeb and as confirmed through his own certified biography, Masir-e-Alamgiri, also on Waqf land? It is this message that allows Muslims to claim that the 1,500-year-old iconic Manendiyavalli Chandrashekhara Swami Temple in Tamil Nadu is on Waqf land.73 I ask you—how can a 1,500-year-old Hindu temple be adjudged by Waqf to be on Islamic land when Islam is only 1,300 years old?"
