RE:Understand Muslims and Islam
by Aritra Ghosh on Jun 06, 2008 02:45 PM

Avinash,

I was tempted to reply to your comments. Supporting your views on the wrong method often being used for the spread of Islam, I would like to contradict you on your view about Hinduism. You can also be aptly tagged as an ignorant person by commenting that no person can be converted to Hinduism.

Firstly becoz, Hinduism is not the conventional religion as most people understand it, it is a philosophy about the worldly acts and a way of leading a meaningful life. Secondly, our scriptures ie Vedas or Purans do not mention about the inacceptance of any person into our fraternity, there making hinduism so tolerant.

Hence, you cannot be converted to become a Hindu, you become a hindu when you believe in certain principles of life. You may name yourself as Michael or Moiz, still you can be a hindu.

I would humbly request you to please do a little research and self study before writing such generalised comments on your own religion which may lead to the tarnishing of it image.

The plight of our religion is also that, most of us hindus hardly study the religion. We believe in priests but do not read the scriptures.
