Unfortunately, you know that it is NOT just Hindus who have problems with this cult of Muhammad. It is Jews/Christians/Buddhist/atheists and rest of humanity..

Ahh, if you think atheists are with Hindus/Jews/Christians/Buddhists, you dont know what atheism is. Unless of course this a new beginning for a disinformation campaign.

Well after 150+ posts, what do we see?

The same mix of Commies and Minority apologists (save a few) preaching Hindus to be moderate and telling them that it is VHP/RSS who are behind these blasts!!

With so many enemies within us, who needs Jihadis?

How many more temples and holy places needs to be desecrated, How many more Hindu lives have to be lost before we wake up?

#162 unfortunately, it is not just muslims who have problems with this cult of hindutvaism, but christians and sikhs too. Both of whom have been attacked by hindu extremists in India. SInce you chose to join hindu extremists in demonizing Islam, you are no different.

The reality - as opposed to the rubbish you people are taught in India - is this: there are extremists in all religions, all societies. Just as there are criminals in all religions, all societies. You can either join the extremists in demonizing other religions and communities - or you can recognize the true enemy - which is these extremists in your midst. As a muslim, I understand quite well the danger that muslim extremists pose to Pakistan - and in fact are more dangerous to Pakistan than any hindu extremist ever could be (since we have adequate means to provide a ``fitting response`` to any hindu extremist dreams of turning india into the regional bully).

The sooner you indians get these basics through your heads, the better off you will be.

Re: #128 by wasif2

[The Banaras bombings could have been done by any one: Mad muslims, mad hindus, mad sikhs. It wouldnt surprise me to know it was done by a group comprising all three or more. ]

Since everyone is equally likely to have done this thing, would it be okay to throw in your close family members in this mix?

Or is that not a good idea because your family members being involved is highly improbable?

Yes of course, of course. You are absolutely right. Buddhists, Jains, Japanese animists, Muslims - it`s all the same.

Try selling that line to the airport screeners around the globe. Somehow they keep obsessing about Muslims.

Not fair, I say.

[#84 dont worry about ``muhammed`s teachings``. worry about the teachings you people receive in india - whereby minority religions - including islam - are demonized, while hindu culture, which in many ways is the most primitive on earth (as evidenced by the likes of ramanjun who visit chowk, and as obvious from the prevalence of the caste system, killing of female fetuses, burning of brides by greedy grooms) is idolized.]



Umm, what are your thoughts on clitorectomy?

“Indiand would retaliate and give your jehadis and yourself the dog`s life you deserve”


Ballu ,

Don’t worry about me marasi. I hope you are hiding in some heavily fortified Muslim area (if you are a Muslim) as your buddy Ramanujan is coming after you. He is going to take you out. Kill you all, bomb the mosques and the whole community. He is not alone the whole RSS crowd is following him. Have fun my man. Don`t holler before his machete pierces your fragile and starved body! Take it like a man( that you are not! ) That is your destiny man!

On the side note: Was the Bundh successful all over India? Are they going to have a bundh every month now? Wow! Indians will have so many holidays…..

#169 clitorectomy is a primitive custom, practised by the primitives of east africa. It is just another form of oppression of women as practised in different forms in primitive societies. As such, it is contrary to the spirit of Islam - just like most ``muslim`` practices related to women (veiling etc.) are contrary to the spirit of Quran (which, according to Karen Armstrong, acknowledged women rights that it took the west - by any reasonable standard the most progressive part of the world with respect to protection of women rights - more than a thousand years to provide).

next question.

[#169 clitorectomy is a primitive custom, practised by the primitives of east africa. It is just another form of oppression of women as practised in different forms in primitive societies. As such, it is contrary to the spirit of Islam -]

Is that why it is practiced in Egypt?

[ just like most ``muslim`` practices related to women (veiling etc.) are contrary to the spirit of Quran (which, according to Karen Armstrong, acknowledged women rights that it took the west - by any reasonable standard the most progressive part of the world with respect to protection of women rights - more than a thousand years to provide). ]


Actually this is a BS line Muslims feed others. Before Muhammed, women had many more freedoms in Saudi Arabia. They used to run their own businesses (like his first wife), speak in public forums etc.

All that came to an end after Muhammad.

Read some history books, instead of arguing to win.

#173 arafat, agreed. but a million others?? in pakistan, the mass following is for mainstream, secular parties - despite years of attempts by military dictators to suppress them in favor of the religious extremists. in india, the second largest party, BJP, has its roots in hindu chauvinism - out of your own free will.

never mind the arabs - they are as screwed up as you hindu chauvinsts!!
