what appears is not what we see

Eklavya #689 {" And these are the people who claim that their religion is the religion of change and adaptation, and not 'blind faith' (that's their dismissive reference to Islam)!! "}

Kaal Bhayya,
We had to come to FP to make some serious dents in this religious classification riddle. LOL. You are so right about rigidity - it's the glue that binds all traditions and extremists in one tightly secured fireball.

If Hindus realize how inflexible and rigid they appear to Muslims in their social customs, if Muslims realized how inflexible and rigid they appear to Hindus in their religious dogmas, you would hear some loud "Eurekas."
