One thing that I dont understand about common Hindus is Why you want to limit everything within Man Made Boundaries ??? In Chicago, Vivekananda addresses the People of the World as "My Dear Brothers & Sisters" of the World... Why Mother Teresa comes to Calcutta and serves the Poor, she can stay in Europe Right, Bcoz all the great Personalities in the World beleive all the People in the World are One... Islam is a Universal Religion, Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) in his Last Message tells that all the Human Beings are Equal, an Arab is no Superior to a Niger and so on. Islam firmly beleives that all the People in the World are the Children of One Parents "Adam and Eve". So you are all my Brothers and Sisters.. Islam knows no Boundaries, every Religion prescribes Universal Brother Hood, dont limit your Love with Man Made Boundaries. I firmly beleive that Hinduism preaches the same ideas, dont be Narrow Minded.. Nationalism is Fine, but Globalism is what we have to Learn from the Great People who served this Earth.. Thanks Ibrahim

What are Abominal Acts, we are only following the essence of VEDAS,. No IDOL WORSHIP & strict MONOTHEISM...

That does not solve the problem Santosh. Calling him a devil is no solution. It has become essential for all to get conversant with Quran and actually point out the verses to people like Ibrahim. The right way is confriont people with solid facts. Moment u call people devil and things like that, it serves no purpose.

Ibrahim, I'm quite impressed with your earnestness and sincerety of approach, although I must add sincerely, several things you have argued are simply not accurate.
If you'd like to discuss further, I'd be glad in joining you in an open, honest exchange of ideas from which I hope to learn much, as well as to explain much to you.
i never spoke about my religion... so the question does not arise whether its egoistic or non egoistic dwaita or no dwaita.. u are not qualified to understand

Santosh, Having read your posts, one thing is clear: You dont know a thing about what you are saying. You are rooted in a silly, personal ego in your replies. You are getting personal with Ibrahim.
And you are also presenting a Very bad example of the general hindu outlook and inter-faith discussion. You really have nothing concrete to say. Not that there is nothing to say to what Ibrahim is honestly sharing, but just that you have no knowledge of it.
Now, I know precisely what your replies to me would be like: "why dont you convert to islam?" "You are also definitely a Muslim terrorist"? and some variations of such personal attacks. Or you'll just plain get dirty in your posts about me.
Thats ok, coz i know where all your thoughts are comeing from: a lack of grounding in your own self, and also in the knowledge of your own faith, not to mention a total and complete lack of understanding of the other's faith.
Idiot, dont throw mud on everyone who challeges you, like a cornered dog. Thats not the way to join an issue. Get real, get knwledge and then get involved. Otherwise, I dont see how you are any different, except in degree, to those who YOU call terrorists.

Before u preach globalism, dear Ibrahim, learn basic-non-abusive, non-offensive words. Your abuse of arabs as "filthy arabs" and your abusing Iyers and my blood-these r not shining examples of "Universal Brother Hood". Whether Islam preaches it or not is a different thing. U r not practising any "Universal Brother Hood" by your abuse of Arabs and Iyers.

Abusing is your second nature. Getting personal at others is your second nature. Go home. Reflect deeply. Do self-analysis. Do self-introspection. Then we can talk on religion.

Broken Record is Not Abusive, I think you are a very sensitive KID, I think you will crying daily in School Days.. Be Bold, dont get hurt for Petty Things.. Dont be Pessimistic...
Knowledge is Limitless, answers dont stop... Until this World is there, there will be questions on the TRUTH.... Islam never Permits LOOT, RAPE and MURDER In Shariat Law, 1) For Rape there is a Capital Punishment 2) For Loot, your hands will be Chopped 3) If you kill a Innocent , it is like killing the Humanity.. 4) Even in War, you are only suppose to defend, you are not allowed to kill Children, Women and Old... Not even allowed to Cut Trees....
This is real Islam... If somebody is not following it means he is really answerable for that....

Islam never Permits LOOT, RAPE and MURDER of Muslims but declares it as ligitimate if commited on non-muslims.
Even in War, you are only suppose to defend, you are not allowed to kill Children, Women and Old... Not even allowed to Cut Trees.... Because these people should be taken as hostages wherein Women should be sent to Harem and remaining will serve as slaves.
You are really a one hell of a liar. Who are you trying to fool? We have seen Hundreds of years of Islam rule and know fully well what it means for atleast non-muslims.

Yes they killed each other but they never proclaimed that they love each other because they are Hindus. East bengal became part of pakistan solely because they were muslims and hence felt insecure in Hindu India but look at what the fellow Muslims did to them.

Sikhism is limited only to Punjab, It is geographically bound... But that is not the case with Islam.. Grows ... Grows and Grows......

Ibrahim, I appreciate your enthusiasm for hinduism. Dwaita, Adwaita and Vishishtadvaita are very big things. First things first. Purity of thought, words and actions. tHIS IS THE HIGHEST religion declared by Lord Krishna.Get it. U used so many abuses. Have i Got angry or even abused u any way?
RE:RE:RE:RE:TRUE RELIGION
by Anand Iyer on May 16, 2007 05:31 PM Permalink
No. I am still in the chat board. To see how much more times u will abuse. That much more times I will repeat again and again that pure thoughts, words and deeds is the real religion. Anyone(whether Hindu/Muslim/Christian etc.) who achieves this has achieved God himself.
True religion is all about purity of thought, words and deeds. Clean up your mind,language and actions. Whoever achieves these things-whether Hindu/Muslim or anyone has achieved something in life whatever his notions about God may be. If anyone achieves these things, everyone will like him.

RE:RE:REAL IYER

U said filthy arabs. Now u hate Iyers. U hate arabs. u hate iyers. u acll me "manipulative". U abuse my blood. How r u any different from those hating Pakistanis who were appluading deaths in Pakistan. U r the same as those.
Ekam Brahm, dvitiya naste neh na naste kinchan Bhagwan ek hi hai dusara nahi hai, nahi hai, nahi hai, zara bhi nahi hai. There is only one God, not the second, not at all, not at all, not in the least bit.
All the above quoted verses and passages from Hindu Scriptures clearly amplify the Oneness and Uniqueness of Almighty God, the Creator of all. Furthermore, they negate the existence of any other deity besides the One True God. These verses essentially propound monotheism.
Therefore only if one carefully studies the Hindu Scriptures, will one understand and realize the correct concept of God in Hinduism.

Another point, the verse is addressed at "People of the Book". "The Book" get it????. We Hindus have many books. So we r not "People of the Book". Further, Lord Krishna has clearly said at verse no.63 of Chapter 18 of Bhagvad Geeta: "Ponder deeply over what I have revealed unto u and then do as u please". Therefore, according to him, even divine revealations should not be blindly accepted and acted upon. One should critically analyse these scriptures and accept them only if they r logical. Further, he has said at verse no.46 of Chapter No.2: "One who has obtained enlightenment has the same use for all the Vedas as one who stands at the brink of a sheet of water overflowing on all sides has for a small reservoir of water". Thus, in hinduism, there is no one set formual for all individuals. Hinduism recognises that each individual is unique and has a right to find his own path of salvation. Get it. First make a complete study of all hidu scriptures-then talk of hinduism. And also make a complete study of Quran, then come to talk.
