I've read most of the comments here. Why we cannot understand one basic concept, good and bad is there in every religion. The people are talking here as if all the Hindus and christains are saints. I myself is a muslim and condemn the acts of terrorism, no matter to which religion that terrorist belongs. If given a chance, i will be the first person to shoot that terrorist. But one should not blame the entire religion for the wrong doings of some people. If Islam and it's teachings are wrong,as mentioned by some of my friends here, then why Islam is the fastest growing religiog, specially among non-muslims? One of the recent example, a devotee from Haryana who was on Amarnath pilgrimage embraced islam. Who forced him to come to Islam? You can check the following article:
My dear Hindu brothers, let's stop the blame game, let's work together for the development of India. No one is going to gain anything by this mud slinging. Many people are of the opinion here, how an educated person can support terrorism? My question is also same to Haneef as well to my many Hindu freinds here, how they can be so intolerent about Islam. My Hindu friends are also educated enough to understand that good & bad is there in every religion, then why pin point only Islam? I have immense respect for all the religions, Islam tought me to respect all the religions.

THE HANDS THAT WERE ONCE RAISED TO DESTROY BABRI MASJID ARE NOW RAISED SEEKING FORGIVENESS FROM ALLAH (SWT)!
Among the fears of lakhs [hundreds of thousands] of Kar Sevak who had gathered to demolish the Babri Masjid , few furiously climbed on the majestic minaret of the mosque. The most important among the few were Shive Sainik. A resident of Faisalabad, where Ayodhya is situated, Shive Prasad was the captain of Bajrang Dal. He was given the responsibility to guide four thousand Kar Sevak in the demolition of mosque.
It was he who gave training to four thousands of people under him, on how to carry the demolition. On seeing the majestic minarets of the mosque come down Captain Prasad was overjoyed and shouted the Ram! Ram! This happened seven years ago.
On Dec. 6 ,1999 the same Shive Prasad was seeking forgiveness from Allah for his cruel act seven years back. This 6 Dec.1999 he was fasting (non-obligatory) and regretting for the act with tears and was seeking forgiveness from Allah (SWT) in his prayers.
Shive Prasads father Trigal Ramanathan was chief among the heads of Sangh Parivar. His whole family was actively involved in demolishing the Babri Masjid.

When Shive Prasad embraced Islam he was driven out by his family members who were strong RSS activists. Shive Prasad says that among those who led the demolition on the spot were Ashok Singhal and Advani. On the day of demolition the police and CRPF connived with the leaders of BJP, Bajrang Dal and RSS. Both these law enforcing agencies greatly helped in the demolition.
Now, Shive Prasad is receiving continuous threatenings from RSS, BJP and Bajrang Dal. Sangh Parivar has threatened to kill if he returns to India.
Having learnt 17 Surahs in the Holy Qur'an, he is anxious to complete learning the whole of the Holy Qur'an. His ambition is to become a true Islamic preacher and and bring ignorant people to light. If Allah wishes, his ambition will be fulfilled and the very same hands which demolished the Babri Masjid will built up again.

About http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Journey_to_Amarnath_ends_in_embracing_Islam/articleshow/2221824.cms There are lots of conversions from hindu-muslim-christian is happening all around the world. Last month, a muslim girl in my native eloped with a hindu guy and got converted, it was not in the news. Is that means hinduism is fast growing, there are so such statistics. If you read by articles, I can show you the article in al-jazeera where in muslim mullahs are worried about the conversions which is happening to other religions from Islam. No Hatred. You are a proud Indian Muslim, myself a proud Indian Hindu, my beleif which withstood many invasions, still growing stronger becasue we beleive in PEACE

There is a lot of difference in running away with someone you love and converting to his/her religion and copnverting only for the love of Allah (swt).
Infact Islam discourages conversions based on girl friend/boy friend love and marriage.
The religion of Islam is only for the sake/love of Allah (swt) and nothing else!
I can give you countless instances of the type you have mentioned, the only difference being the boy or girl reverted to Islam! But this is not conversion for the sake of religion of god but for the sake of your loved ones and their family and this is not encouraged in Islam.

My dear friend (maverick), yes, i too have read that. That conversion has got to do with the love for that guy. The conversion i am talking about is for the love of ISLAM. That's too during the holy pilgrimage. But what i m saying is true my friend. Islam is the fastest growing religion, specially among non-muslims. You search that on Google or any other sites. Inspite of being critized and being projected in the most negative way, people are still getting attracted towards the beautiful religion of ISLAM. During the book fair in patna, the largest selling book was "Holy Quran" it was purchased by many non-muslims. I request you also to read the Holy Quran with meanings to know the real teachings of Islam.

Dear Well Wisher, If you see the comments given by DESHMUKH PARITOSH, Hinduism is not a religion it is a disciplined way of living. Our focus is on supreme, which need not be necessary in formless. We beleive in anient techniques like yoga, meditation, vastu etc. When you are praying to the supreme power, you need to concentrate on something, that is what we do idol workship. Even there is no need to for us to go to temple, we can concentrate in our mind and can pray. And temples is a cultural centres. And about conversion, in hinduism we never compell anyone to embrace our religion, its a way of living. I heard from one of my muslim friends, that the mullah in the mosque thought him that if he converts someone, he will go to heaven. I agree with you above comments, I am telling this this happens in every religion, that the example of the famous sitar maestos son who converted to hindu. Dont go with the statisticcs, who is converting in to what. At the end of the day find out how we human beings are living together. The religion is not giving a hungry person , a time food. You can see the beggers getting qued up in fron of mosque, temple or church. Our topic is why your beleif spreads so much of hatred. No other religion sends human bombs in the name of religion. No other religion spreads so much hate like Islam.

Islam is the fastest growing religion in India today because most Indian muslims are not well educated and under the infulence of Mullah rather than science and dont go in for family planning.
Not conversions. Get your facts right.
As to how the educated can support terrorism perhaps you should ask OBL he has used a lot of educated folks!

Dear friend,
Your mail is well written. I have many Muslim friends in India and USA. I would like to mention that not all Hindus are Muslim-haters. In my opinion, 99% of Hindus would have Muslim friends. I have met many Pakistanis in USA and they too like Indians. Unfortunately, a small gap is blown out of proportion.
I am an ardent admirer of Mohammed Rafi, Talat Mahmood, Naushad, Sahir Ludhianvi, Shaqeel Badhayuni, Kaifi Azmi, Dr.Rahi Masoom Reza, Annu Malik, et al. July/31 is 27th Rafi Memorial Day and I am listening to his songs more intensely, with a heavy heart, as he is not with us. "Tu Hindu banega na Musalman banega, insan ki aulad mein insan banega".

Muslims fail to understand that relation between god and human is at individual level. Hinduism is the term given by westerners. Hinduism is not a religion it is a disciplined way of living. Our focus is on supreme, which need not be necessary in formless. Unlike Hinduism, Christianity, Islam and other religion are community based. Like Lamb and Shepard.
No matter how sweet you tell, No matter how much violence you spread, no matter how long you betray. It is the faith of Hindu as an individual that binds the relationship with God.
When you can%u2019t maintain in faith of in the religion he/ she takes birth. How can he or she talks about right faith and wrong faith. Faith is a test of perseverance. Sacrifice is an act of appeasement. Unfortunately, these messages are hardly understood by community based religion. It requires understanding rather making propaganda.
Chritians do not recognise Mohammed as a messanger because he did not treat jesus as a son of god.
Hindu do recognise both as messanger, but we also recognise that it is matter of good acts as a path to supreme. Not following to the manipulated propaganda.

You are an Hindu and I am a Muslims or a third is a Christian or Sikh only because he was born in a family that practised their religion.
The prophet (saw) said that all individuals are born with a natural tendency (fitrah) to worship one god. Its their parents who make them a Jew, a Christian, a Sikh or an Hindu.
Sacrifice and Perseverance are two words among the words most mentioned in the Quran!
By (the Token of) Time (through the ages), Verily Man is in loss, Except such as have Faith, and do righteous deeds, and (join together) in the mutual teaching of Truth, and of Patience and Constancy- (Al-Quran 103)
O you who believe, seek assistance through patience and prayer; surely Allah is with the patient..(Al-Quran 2)
O you who believe, be steadfast; be supreme in steadfastness... (Surah Al Imran, 200)
Whoever remains patient, Allah will make him patient. Nobody can be given a blessing better and greater than patience. (Bukhari)
Attaining this secret is extremely easy. Allah manifests His attribute -Al-Sabur (The Patient) on those who believe in Him and helps perfect the determination in their hearts.
The example of a believer is that of a fresh tender plant. From whatever direction the wind comes, it bends it. But when the wind becomes quiet, it becomes straight again. Similarly, a believer is afflicted with calamities (but remains patient until Allah removes the difficulty). (Bukhari)
