Openness is the answer
by Donald Duck on Sep 18, 2007 08:53 PM

the day majority muslims are able to condemn the bad elements in their society, will be the beginning of their rise.

i am neither a hindu nor a muslim, but have lived in a muslim majority area and have seen that any moderate voice that even slightly differs from conventional beliefs (and i do not mean their religious basics) of a muslim society is severely suppressed.

i do not know what may be able to change it, but, i have seen dissent very much difficult to express among muslims by muslims.

i also do not mean that hindus are progressive, but at least you can see people challenging the conventional beliefs if they are not logical.

the stranglehold of conventional stupidity is still there, but, hindu society has moved ahead after independence, but muslim society has not been able to keep pace.
