Mr. Mike, what are trying to prove through the lengthy and unending arguments through this column? Do you want all Hindus to believe in the utterings of a menatlly deranged, epileptic Camel driver, whose first wife was a widow old enough to be his mother and last one was young enough to be his great grand daughter? As a Hindu, I am free to believe or not believe in god (and I opted for the later)and I am not bound by only ONE BOOK. Majority of Hindus do not consider what is written in the Vedas or Puranas as revelations of the God, but as mythologies. For your kind information, there was no Devadasi system in Kerala. On the contraty the ownership of jointly family property rested with the women and the senior most male member (Karta) was only a trusty. The main reason for the backwardness of the Muslim community in India is due to the insistance of a few mad mullas to cling to what is written in a book in the context of another country about 1400 years back rather than changing with the times.

Mike - U say Your Prohpet came to teach you tribal people something good and that is why he started the example - married 13 times (including his daughter -in-law) and then also had a sex slave girl in his remianing days.

Arab and Mughals did what Islam told them to do and what their prophet himself did. What some Hindus did, they were not told to do it by hinduism,they diod it on their own. that is the big difference.

Wada I think this reply should shut Mike. These Mullahs can't see that Hindus use their own logic according the times and this is what is mentioned in Vedas - i.e God has given U brain and senses and U must use it not like these Islamists who still follow only what is written by one Barbaric Tribal Arab.

For example, islam allows slavery so mughals and arabs enslaved hindus , hindus had devdasi system, but hindu holy books don't allow/support devdasi system,it was done by a few individual people on their own.

Dear Mike, It is nice to learn that you have made lots of study(about the other religon's books.).It is true that many things written in vedas or puanas or any book regarding Hinduism can not be true or can not be practised in the modern world. Every Hindu will agry for this .You can ask anybody.But can this be true for you people.The Khoran contains several contradictions(Visit www.faithfreedom.com) & Prophet Mohmmad committed several questionable ats(mistakes), even then you people are blindly deffending. You read Masi-e-alamgiri, which was written by a muslim only & is the true picture of Aurangzeb.In that his acts of demolishing temples are praised as a big Religious service. what is your comments on those points
