Aurangzeb had instructed that the idols brought from the temple in Jodhpur should be buried under the stairs of the Jama Masjid (Mosque)... Those who come to the mosque for religious faith will worship by stepping on those stairs .... It is true to hide behind secularism!
That copy of Aurangzeb's order is still preserved in Jodhpur Raj Bhavan ... What kind of barbaric civilization that used to plunder and rule as well as religious lands and people's faith ...? Every famous mosque in India has been built either by demolishing the temple or by changing the structure of the temple.
