Hinduism traces its history to times when probably there were no people living in Saudi Arabia. And here you funnily try to imply that the Son sired the Grandfather. Shouting from the roof tops about how Islam is the religion of peace and then coming into the streets and shooting, looting and raping in the name of Allah seems pretty counter-intuitive.
If you are an Indian and lived in India, there is a popular street clasification of the wealthy - Naye Paise Waley and Puraney Paisey Waley... I hope you get what I mean.
If I remember correctly, Advaitha Texts are not covered in the list of "Hum Kitaabs"... Hum Kitaab I feel was a strategic weapon to make the Islamic thought acceptable to the other dominant communities of that time and now you trying to pull a fast one on Advaitha Philosophy %u2026 Smart, Very smart. As regards Muslims being true followers of Advaitha, let in that case me make the comment just like yours that only 1% muslims truly follow the tenets of Islam to the T, if you had then maybe you would have automatically become Advaits.
But the Sad Tragedy is that interpretations of the Quran have remained steeped in the 700 AD socio-cultural realities. And it will happen just as it has kept happening with Hinduism, that from within Islamic World, reformers will emerge, who will synch the interpretations to present times.
Everything takes time to mature, religion included. Remember your own teenage years, when Fists were the solutions to all problems. I feel that%u2019s the situation in the Islamic world today. Followers of Islam have forgotten the basic tenets and are acting like a bullying teenager who wants everyone to follow what he has to say. The percentage of such misguided and misled bullies may be small but their methods and area of operation is so wide that everybody has started instinctively mistrusting anything Islamic.
I personally am of the opinion that Religion is personal and should be confined to the personal area of a person. But it pains my rational self when people start hate campaigns in the name of religion or start quoting things that they do not know off. Just look at the responses to other comments and replies that have been posted in response to this article and see how religious books have been quoted out of context. For instance, One gentleman makes Ravana the Dravidian king whereas as per Ramayana, Ravana was a Brahmin and got classified as an Asura because of his actions. And the gentleman who has done this professes Christianity as his faith%u2026
