I read the full report of Farooq Salem & the difference between the two is religion they follow. While Hinduism teaches tolerance & adjustments Islam teaches zero tolerance & no adjustments. There is nothing wrong with Islam. But the religion should be flowing river.It has to mould itself according to the time & circumstances which Islamic scholars has to understand. When Mohammed established Islam it was 14th Century & 600 years hence has passed & hence there has to be changes to be made according to the need of an hour. Islam has stuck & not flowing & therefore the difference.

Yes the society at that time when mohammed was born had probably many hostile tribes/cults/others surrounding them. So he would have thought of a brilliant (?) idea on-- how protect and grow islam. His solution -- ISLAM. Any thoughts ?

I agree, I am an avowed secularists,my best friend is a muslim,but i have seen that there is no evolution in Islam. Muslims need to learn that what hold good in the 7th century AD may not be applicable now. Religions should be a personal thing,not an all encompassing thing....

My sentiments exactly...If you see historically every religion on the planet has eveolved to keep up w/ changing times and circumstances..be it Christianity or Hinduism or Judaism or other exotic religions..I guess everyone agrees that Islam needs to evolve.. The tough part is the initiation of the process itself..and i think only followers of the religion can do that optimally...Followers of islam should do the needful asap or rest of the world would do it for them and thats going to be very painful
