Some questions...

How do countries like Saudi arabia (where Mecca - the holy site for Muslims is situated), Kuwait, Iran and some more Arabian countries treat Non-muslims ?.

Look at what Saudi Arabia is doing to non-Muslims (where Hindus and Buddhists get the worst discrimination).
--> Non Non-Muslim can pray to his god according to his faith using the pictures,small idols & religious articles of his form of understanding of the god is allowed, even for his own private use let alone public use.
--> In case of killing of a person, the Compensation for a Muslim man is the highest and Muslim woman gets the next highest compensation. Christians follow next and Hindu Men get the second least compensation while Hindu women the least.
--> Most of the Muslim Mideast countries (save for Oman and Dubai alone) don't allow even a single Hindu/Buddhist worship place.
--> No chance for the people of those countries to even willfully convert to another religion. Only Non-Muslims can convert and that too to Islam. Saudi Arabia has a seperate Religious department in its government the solitary purpose of which is to convert non-muslim to islams.
--> But at the same time, Saudi Arabia wants to build Madarassas, Mosques and other Islamic institutions all around the world and fuel its brand of a old, interpretation of Islma that fits well with Nomadic Tribes in the desert land of Arabia.
The above is almost the same of a few more countries like Kuwait, Iran and etc.

--> While Muslim communities all around the world will indulge in violence and rioting if somebody draws a cartoon on Mohhammed but the same people will sit quiet when Baamiyan Buddhas and Hindu Temples get blasted/taken over in one of the lands of their Ummah (Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh).
--> Muslim Insurgency in all around the world indulge in violence from within, against most of the democratic, secular and open governements (India, Us, UK, France, Australia, Phillipines, Israel, Thailand ) and moderate Muslims in those land won't speak out and restrain their own violent sections.

Just compare the Drop in Hindu population in Bangladesh & Pakistan as against the growth of Muslims in India - ever since Independence. Any reactions ?.

When countries like those stated above act so fundamentally and inhumanely against non-muslims, Why should non-muslims practise equality, show respect and not be prejudiced against Muslims ?.

People like Tasleema Nasreen, Salman Rushdie have openly spoken about this intolerance shown by almost all Majority-Muslim countries. That's why they are appreciated by Non-Muslims who have already given Muslims equal respect and rights (if not special laws, reservations and rights) in their own lands.


Any reasonable, discerning Muslim please let us all non-muslims know about your opinions, justifications (if any) on the above intolerant discriminations meted out to non-Muslim people.

I am sorry my English isn't good but here is clarification to your non-sense:
1. It is not true. Non-Muslim can practice their religions but not in public. Also they are not allowed to display their religious symbols like "a cross" in the public.
2. This is not true even. I dont know where you find this stupid compensation thing.
3. It is not allowed to build places of worship for non-muslims in a muslim country. But if the place of worship already exist, non-muslims are allowed to visit them. But they should do that with no intention to spread their religion.
4. Yes, it is not allowed to preach any other religion other than islam. I can go on explaining why but I am sure dumb heads like you will never understand. Its like explaining a vegetarian guy the taste of meat.
5. Yes they spend money on building religious institutions, unlike you. You shouldn't be concerned if they do that.
6. I think you are a kind of person who listens to CNN & watch cartoons. Let me give you an example here. If your mom is sick and she is asking you to get a glass of water and you sit beside her. Instead of getting her a glass of water you go telling her that "mom I love you" what will you get in return??? a kiss or a slap on your face. Thats what happened in Afghanistan. Now tell me why were statues destroyed after several years of taliban ruling the country. Do your homework first or stop preaching your stupidity.
7. Because your so called democratic governements are corrupted to the limit that they are ready to sell their own mommy ;). They are responsible for killings thousands & thousands in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kashmir, Chechenya, Somalia, Phillipines etc.. Check the records, its not only muslims who are fighting the evil but also some good intelligent hindus who support and fight with us in the cause like in kashmir.

Your message clearly shows your narrow mind.
1. Why they are not allowed. Here in india you can do any thing. And all over the world you can do your religion. Same like all humans have their rights.
3. What is the point in you. Not allowed to build. why only you can build all over the world.
4. Explain man. If you don;t know leave it.
One thing I want to tell you finally.

You are all worshipping our lingam only. you are worshipping Lord shiva. But you are not able to open your eyes and accept the reality.

Go to hell
