Mr.Ignorant Haider, so what? If the Shankaracharya has some "respect" for the Koran I have some respect for Islam only with regard to one element - the absence of caste. But all that Muslims know about Hinduism is the caste system and Muslims waste all their time hating Hinduism and other religions without ever bothering to look into the hate verses in the Koran. Including you. Did you know that the Koran fares poorly with respect to the Bible. The Bible is 5 times the size of the Koran and the Hindu scriptures are on the whole largely very intellectually superior (and much much larger than the Koran and the Bible put together) to anything written to the Koran. It is common knowledge that hate verses are replete in the Koran with copious references to hate for non-muslims. On the other hand, there are few to negligible references to non-Hindus in the Koran. Do you have respect for Hinduism. No, do not go about telling me that Hinduism is evil and its got to be destroyed and Hindus to be converted to Islam because "Allah" is the so-called only God.
