The matter was eventually brought before the Hindu Brahmans. The Hindu priests promptly issued a fatwa: "whoever owns the town of the prayer direction (Mecca) in his name the khutba should be read". That& #39;s sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. The ruling was a hardly a surprise...
The Rumis (wealthy expat Ottomans in India) declared: "like elements of a truce the sword of eloquence brought the language of hate to silence."
The Hindu Brahmans deciding a sensitive Muslim issue in favor of the Rumis had less to do w/fairness & more to do w/the Rumis& #39; wealth.
