[Muhammad Mustafa]

She is a South Asian hero!

[heavyatheart]

"Snob" fits quite well with her, agree.

[Sunil Mathew]

Religion contredicts each other and itself everywhere , christian's , muslims and hindus , all have some good words along with bad once ,

One should understand these where guide's by a blind man's in a dark time when everything was a miracle , we followed the blind man , Now we are out of those days its dawn today we can see the way and we don't need help of the blind old man ,

As a courtesy of old days we can guide him though paths we can see , that the summary of all religions ;

[Sunil Mathew]

And only one who becomes a speciest can become universalist , one the basic principles of Hinduism , karma and dharma would be one of the highest social view of a religion superior to other religion ,Views of this kind does not separate any one but bring piece every where , Bad something

later something cropped up called achuth (untouchables) , by some in society who wanted fudelism to work in their favor , So my question is if you keep that second idea of a time , U are a clear minority ;

[Sunil Mathew]

If it was another Muslim or christian who was communalizing our community , i would say the same thing to him , just as i saw it just like a Mirror , if he don't believe it then he lost a good friend ...he will learn it the hard way or die without knowing the truth ...

[Sunil Mathew]

"See" terminology and examples mostly does some trick to lie to you , its always good to keep a straight mind for anything , examples can be enlightenment but but not a clear path ,just a notation " the revert would be other way round " as Jews where first the christians then muslims , but this does not matter much boz real revert is someone who really digs deep , deep as to the feeling that if some nearby man dies of riot's you would have to think its own species ,

[Sunil Mathew]

Reverse racism cant be universal , its just done by some religious lunatics , similar to the racism towards change .. Hindu community is very tolerant community in general for sure , but cant say there are black dots in it ,the time when you see the black dot you have to pick it out it's like an ink that spreads , now the black dot is the argument of attacking violence with violence "but with no substance " , tell me how many Muslims vs Hindus died in riots , The ratio shouts BE HUMAN ,

[IamEternal Hatred]

Christian or a Jew converts to Islam, he is known to be a revert and not a convert. So why don't you try and explain, Muslims or anyone that all Humans are brothers and to be loved, and I will try convincing my people the same. But the effort has to be both sides till then an eye for an eye will make the world blind, as it always have. Gandhi was killed while Hitler killed himself.

[IamEternal Hatred]

But sadly, according to Quran (and yes, I have read Quran, I think it is beautiful) it says that all human beings are alike, all humans (irrespective of there religion) are Muslim, there is no nation, no borders, one should love Muslims. And it is mistaken as love only Muslims, not your nation and hence India will never be loved by them completely (there are a lot of Muslims who are patriotic but this conflicts there moral philosophy). The Quran considers everyone as Muslims and if a Hindu a...

[IamEternal Hatred]

And now if they have started a fight and want to rage terror attacks and riots, why shall we just let go. Religion, any religion, is not suppose to guide you towards killing others, so use it as something to guide your moral philosophy not to differentiate with others, how can the devil take a brother if he is close to me. But know people want to differentiate themselves based on something that is supposed to enlighten them. It is an insult by using it to kill and become animals.

[IamEternal Hatred]

What will it take to remind these fools they are son of the same soil of Indian subcontinent, religion might be different but there heritage is not Arabic but Indian, there ancestors were Hindu, Sikhs or Budhists or Jains, but were either forced to convert under tyranny or did so to escape the taxes of Jaziya !!! Everyone of us Indians Hindu or Muslim are foolish to have fought unecessarily but these people took it to new levels.

[IamEternal Hatred]

We failed to see bigger picture. No doubt we were wrong but these Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi Muslims, how idiotic they can be, a case of ridiculous mistaken identity, just because they are Muslim they think there identity is Arabic and not Indian.
