RE:ATTENTION ANAND...

1.About the fourth point-let mme have details. quite an intersting point u have told me.
2.Your first point has no meaning. It can be equally asked why Muhammad and all Caliphs of Islam were born only in Arabia and not other parts of the world. The Indian religious books do not contain any verses like the ones in Quran which I pointed out today morning. In fact vedas say "Sarve janakha sukhino bhavantu" and "vasudaiva kutumbakam". U can see that recently Us State senate satrted with Rig Veda prayers. That is sufficient to speak about universalism of hindu religion.
3)Regarding second and third points-tell me why does not God send a Prophet once and for all and send the perfect knowledge which is true for all times to come? Why he keeps on sending so many Prophets? Now why does he need to take "the revealation to a Prophet" route instaed of better foolproof methods? In fact, this Prophet concept is a political concept. Both Moses and Muhammad used it for political purposes. See what Anwar Sheikh writes in www.Islam-watch.org Learn to read viewpoints contrary to your own and evaluate them. God has also given u reasoning. Use it.

If u carefully go through all scriptures of all religions, u will find lot of things which indicate that they r not Divine Revealations. So the best approch is that everyone take good things from all scriptures, implement them and be done with it. Don't quarrel among one another that mine is the perfect religion.
