Mr. Ismail Khan,

You exhibit your ignorance about Hinduism when you quote some scriptures and feel you have a point.

For Hindus, their scriptures are not the absolute word of some god that must be obeyed unquestioningly. Hindu scriptures are reflections of seers and saints, and one is expected to believe in them only when one has first-hand experience of their claims.

Hindu tradition has a long history of accepting diverse viewpoints, and multiple interpretations of the same texts, often conflicting with each other. For example, from the same Vedantic literature, Madhavacharya came up with Dvaita and Shankara with Advaita. Neither one says that the other is bound for hellfire and issues calls for its followers to convert or kill others for not having the right belief.

Now, before copy-pasting a lot of stuff from Zakir Naik, please understand what I have said above.

You didn't answer Madhwa, nor did you thank him for correcting your lopsided understanding of Bhagwad Gita...
