No other major global religious tradition can say > this. . . . An excellent letter! But one question, please: On what Hindu scriptural and traditional basis (apart from the "tradition" of an enslaved society to try to minimize their suffering and extinction at the hands of the oppressor by appeasing him) do you justify your remarks about Allah and Jesus -- specially in view of the following? Facts about terrorist Islam and Muslims: http://www.flex.com/~jai/satyamevajayate The terrorist mission of Jesus stated in the Christian bible: "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not so send peace, but a sword. "For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. "And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. - Matthew 10:34-36. Jai Maharaj Om Shanti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Hare Krishna Jai Maharaj, regarding Islam, it has two faces - a peaceful (historically earlier) and a violent one (later). Regarding Jesus, it doesn't refer to material terrorism. It is a common experience of really serious monotheists, esp. young converts - whatever spiritual activity they do, others (nonspiritualists) see as misguided, fanatical or outright evil. In short, their paradigm is challenged and they don't like it. How many people like to see, as in a mirror, that they may not be so 'alright' as they thought? Hope this helps.
