RE:Seeking answers from educated Muslims
by indriyo on Dec 25, 2007 02:35 AM

well, it doesnt need a Muslim to point out the fallacy in your questions. Any sensible person knows your assertions are totally wrong. Anyway, let me try my hand
1) There is no statistical evidence which suggests that Muslims are emigrating more than other religious groups
2) Totally false. If you are talking about major crimes like terrorist acts, yes. There is a correlation between those crimes and people who proclaim themselves as Muslims (?). However, there is absolutely no evidence in police records or even military records that Muslims commit more crime than others
3) There are quite a lot of Muslims reformists and religious leaders who criticize hardliners very similar to Hindu or other religious reformists. Take the case of Salman Rushdie, Taslima or Imams who vehemently criticized fundamentalism when few Afgan leaders called on Indian Muslim community to come and fight in Afganistan.
4) The HAJ pilgrimage is planned to compensate the lower budget allocated to Mosques or Muslim holidays in this country. In TN, there are govt sponsored trips to Parasakthi temples, in Kerala there are govt sponsored facilities for Aiyappan pilgrimage, etc. You can look up the rest!

Agreed that every religion needs reforms. But it can happen only if everyone is united and not discriminated based on religion. Indian democracy and constitution is very elite and noble in handling these moral issues, only the community needs to realize it.
