I dont know where and why Maulvis are treated as anything else other than human beings. Its good to know that Hinduism also doesnt emphasize on priests. Though Hindus do emphasize. The same might be the case with Islam and Muslims. Islam doesnt emphasize on priests though some ignorant Muslim named individuals might do so. No ONE TRUTH???? You mean - everything is true... I don't know how that is correct. Its a universal norm, that any statement can be true or false. It cannot always be true... Ka'aba is not an idol. Muslims dont worship it. Or rather, Islam doesnt teach one to worship it. Splitting of sects - Shia and Sunni is a different issue. Not to do with worshipping of one God. I am not getting into details as this forum is more of an abuse station rather than intelligent discussion forum. This is my first and last foray into rediffboards. To all Hindu friends - sorry if I have hurt any feelings. My intention was just to find similarities between the religions.
