These...Yes, I frankly believe you are Islamophobic. These are evolutionary hiccups that all religions have faced at different times of evolving. We were not there when the dark ages happened and when the Mahabharata happened. After all, as people would tell you that the Epic describes the infighting between cousins for the throne. At the same time, I would acknoledge the poetry and the grandiose manner of dissecting the parable called life in the Gita as being as casual as life itself. I have read parts of Bible and I know all the stories in Hindu epics, though I have not read them. I havent read Quran though. From what you tell me, I think I can give it a miss, right?Chandini Santoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13150207369779168000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871466720794864841.post-27334007437915181672008-03-14T01:35:00.000-07:002008-03-14T01:35:00.000-07:00Well educated Muslim youths being drawn to fundame...Well educated Muslim youths being drawn to fundamentalism is a mystery. Magnetic pull of Islam may be so strong that it sucks them into the blackhole of Jihad. Islam may have greater power to incite imagination of its followers. Very few Muslims can resist Afterlife and Paradise so vividly described in Quran. Islam is not a religion of peace as Muslim scholars will have us believe. The idea that Islam encompasses the material and the spiritual, political and religious creates a delusion among the Muslims that their religion has everything that can solve contemporary problems. Muslims are not taught about other religions and other systems of faiths. They are taught about the supremacy of their religion. Don't accuse me of Islamophobia.Nazeerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01304785942283353426noreply@blogger.com
