Shame on all idiots who base the beliefs of their religion based on some plain text. Do you people know how easy it is for the Madrassas to change Quran or for that matter extreme christian and Hindu activists to change the text of Bible or Geetha ?
There is no proof that Mohammed or founder of any other religion taught what they taught. All the religious texts including Quran, Bible, Geetha, Mahabharath, Ramayana and XYZ have been manipulated by some group of power hungry people either to motivate men with high testosterone to wage wars (Islamic invasions, crusades and Spanish colonization of world) or to keep majority of people under fear and control. It is stupidity to blame Mohammed, Christ or Krishna for the sins of their blind followers. Even with all the modern technology, internet and transparency, when hoax news channels like FOX NEWS can distort news so that it looks favorable to their polictical agenda and brainwash people into voting to a wrong party, how difficult was it for the past rulers to distort Quran, Bible or Geetha to suit their political agenda. All they had to to was to give 1000 gold coins to a greedy or fearful Brahmin writer, christian monks or a Mullah.
Blame the stupid idiots who blindly follow what is written adn dont even have the common sense to question it.

FOX news change/distorts American history every second! That too in the modern era where most of the people are literate ( I mean they know their ABCs) Imagin how easy it was during medieval ages to change any text according to the wills of the then rulers ?

History also has history i.e., every event in history has versions. If every historian was telling the truth we would have had only one version. This itself teaches us just to enjoy the stories just like movies, not to trust them.
In the Gita, Krishna is not telling Arjuna to kill his cousins for not having the correct belief in the only true god. Krishna is telling Arjuna to fight, because he has a duty to preserve Dharma. Now Dharma is not "the correct religion", but righteousness itself.
Islam defines righteousness in terms of whether or not its own claims are accepted. Thus, Kafirs are, by definition, unrighteous. They may be very good individuals, but unless they accept that Allah is the only God and Muhammad is his final prophet, they are Najis - unclean - and ought to be converted to the only true religion.
Correspondingly, even a downright thug and a rogue is Halal, as long as he affirms belief in Allah and Muhammad.
Thus, Islam overturns the normal definitions of right and wrong, and then, acting in this strange context, deems it right to punish Kafirs for their unbelief.
Krishna and the Gita do not do that. It is righteousness that is important, not belief in some god.

Very neatly put....
Let's await Khan Baba's reply.... provided he has one... normally he'd cut paste some more Zakir Naik stuff... . which would have absolutely nothing to do with your question or the discussion at hand... :-)

Bhagwat:
Don't let your imagination run away amock .... Any illicit action exhibits the traits you mentioned.... No thief comes out in the open and takes possession of your belongings.. No murderer surrenders himself immediately after the act nor does he go to the nearest TV station to be displayed across the country as the proud one... No corrupt official comes on Radio daily morning either, talking about his yesterday's collections, and today's planned take aways...
:-) So imaginative though you try out to be, your logic is riddled with Grand Canyons, .. not just holes.. :-)
