@TLK

vat was the kweschun, please tell again?

Post #1 of this thread sir.

@Mamzie

Respect for all but no, I wouldn’t do anything like hanging the statue of ganesha in my house. If I had to do it for spiritual reasons, it would conflict with my own religious beliefs and if I just treat it like a showpiece then I think that would be disrespectful to theirs.

Dear Mr/Ms. Mamzie, thank you for being the first one to respond. I respect your sentiments.

@blessed2006

No i am not ready for the ganapati statue because i would not like it in my house for religious reasons.

Thank you Mr/Ms Blessed for your response.

@rosedreams

Muhahaha. Can you imagine walking into a muslim’s home with ganesha’s statue decorated? reactions will be worse than a Xmas tree…

Dear Mr/Ms. Rosedreams, why do you think reactions would be worse? Is it because of the prevalent Hindu-phobia amongst muslims? Do muslims tolerate objects of worship from one religion but not from another?

@Le_Pakistan

I wouldn’t hang it or even keep it in my house. Yes, I respect others and their different beliefs. But I can do that without having to keep their religious symbols in my house.

Dear Mr/Ms Le Pakistan. But why not, you won’t be praying to it. It will just be a piece of decor during the Winter Solstice festival!

@Ali_Syed

I am interesting to get one, any ideas where I could buy one from?

Dear Mr. Ali_Syed, you can print one on your own using a 3D printer.

@Deeba1234

Dear Sir 1234, why do you laugh?

@Le_Pakistan

Oh in any indian/hindu shop. They also sell aarti and poojha path ka samaan.

Dear Mr. Le Pakistan, I see you have experience buying poojha path ka samaan.

@Pryvate_Pigeon

Pancha Ganapati?

What if the elephant breaks off and falls down? What then? Didn’t think this through huh?

inb4 lectures about how Nazis shamelessly plagiarized a Hindu symbol.

Dear Brother Pigeon, you should do a good job of hanging it on the wall. Unless you’re not the DIY type. Nazis did indeed. And its sad but no one has done anything to reclaim it back.

@muqawwee123

oh now I understand why Sindhi people are still considered low level Muslims by some fatwa-baz molvis. They still don’t have any issue to put a budha miniature in their drawing rooms

Dear Ms. 123, how is this related to Sindhi people? I know some very cutter shia sindhis. They are very cutter.

@Reha

I don’t have anyone around me that celebrates Lord Ganesha.

Dear Ms. Reha, but how about you yourself?

@clothesmad

I would not have this or any other symbol from any other religion hanging in my house

Dear Sir clothesmad, thank you for your response.

@Monk

Captain dude. If you are take by the beauty then be a man and display it. And explain every one who asks.
If too scared then do what boss said, only naturalize it with some more stuff from like gandhara era.
Then you would considered an art lover.

Dear Brother Monk. I didnt go out looking for this one, it was a gift. Can you gift me some gandhara era relics?

@Muzna

no…not in our house…but there was a used car purchased by my nephew that had ganesh securely mounted on the dash…poor ganesh had to be cut away…

Dear Ms. Muzna, how do you know ganesh’s aura isn’t there still? Why did your nephew have to take it off? It would have served as a good conversation piece for whoever sat in his car.

@polished_gems

I feel like my home is a personal space in which the decor reflects my own beliefs and values, and my beliefs and values are Islamic so the answer to your question is NO.

Thank you Brother Gems for your response.

Sincerely,
Captain Lota
