What dialog & what understanding??
by deepak on Apr 01, 2008 09:38 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

What do you 'understand' about a theology that clearly states you should destroy all others?? what do you have to understand about suicide bombing and beheading? if understanding was the key then Pakistan would not have been the 'most dangerous place on earth'. Hindus dont understand Judaism, but doesnt mean they go and blow them up.
