Previously I use to think that only uneducated people think about such communal stuff. Politics misleading them for there own benefits. But I think its not true. An educated man also do the same thing. For god sake please forget about what happened in past and think for future (applies to all Hindus, Muslims and rest all). Since my childhood I had almost all hindu friends and very few muslim friends. We never had such discussion. Despite of this we go to each other house and celebrate all festivals. When I read on such forums, I always have a question that whether my friends will also be thinking like few people on this forum. R people here doing timepass? or they really mean something?

The fact that you have had many Hindu friends and you don't mean any harm to them, and they wish you well itself tells you the root of this problem. Mulsims tend to get isolated in mohallas, they don't send their children to the same schools as Hindus because they don't want the kids to grow up hearing Hindu prayers or "Vande mataram", I dont know. If kids go to the same schools, learn to respect and befriend each others, they will not end up bombing or stabbing their friends. Simple truth? I have had lot of Muslim friends, I have eaten off their tiffin carriers and to this day I can remember their friendship with warmth, but give me some reports about bomb blasts in Kashmir or Mumbai, and I will curse the Islamic terrorists. Are these my friends and classmates that did these heinous acts? No, so why would I blame them? I can see that you have genuine passion, I hope you carry something positive from this forum, amidst all the noise. But then, first thing to accept is, Hindus are not Kaffirs. Can you do that?

You are correct. We are not supposed tell some one is kafir some one is moumin (believer). We dont know really who is who? no one is permitted to tell others as kafir. an outward looking moomin may be inwardly a kafir. How can we judge. Another person inadvertantly seen as a non believer may believe in one god then he is moumin.
so God only knows who is kafir who is moumin. No man has authority to call another man a kafir

Vedhas are the supreme scriptures of Hinduism why dont you teach the student to say prayers. why dont you include upanishads. God is one only without a second (Chandogya upanishad6:2:1) Of Him there are neither parents nor lord(svesvatara upanishad 6:9) na tasva pratima asti (there is no likeness of HIm svesvatara upanishad 4:19)

There is no evidence for the existence of any god. The so-called holy books are creations of surrealistic visionaries and are no more serious than Gulliver's Travels or Aesop's Fables.
