Re: Do You Have the Entrance Fee for Paradise?
Very interesting, now that I am accusing your faith of the same sort of criticism that you level against us, all of a sudden we become misguided muslims. So what is misguided about us as muslims?
Nothing special here. I want to give some respect to Islam and therefore when you (or Hareem or others) utter something low class such as burn-in-hell, I prefer to separate you as a misguided muslim saying that rather than accusing Quran or Islam. Now, do you want me to change that and accuse Quran and Islam in general instead of you? suit yourself.
The burn in fire is just a place of punishment, no cussing here.
Go ask anyone who knows normal spoken english. If someone or something tells you 'go burn in hell' that is cussing.

I think your the one who is being unsucessful at obfuscating what I said.
good - so you have suceeded in obfuscating. Which is what I said in the first place!
And still no reciprocity for the rate cage ideology of Hinduism. You know if I said to someone thesedays Burn in hell versus you rat, its more likely I will get a response for the rat comment.
what makes you think I will reciprocate for each inanity you raise?

No no no! Hold on, don't weasel your way out by saying just understand your dharmic duties. What I asked is what becomes of me if I die as a non-Hindu? What specifically does Hinduism state is the fate of non-Hindu's?
And I told you that Hinduism does not do that. Hinduism expects you to use your brain, understand your duties and perform them. And that is just as well - look at what some of you are doing - you say 'burn in hell' and hide behind quran for saying that. It is exactly to prevent such dishonesty is why.
And tell me how do lower forms of life know Dharma, surely they cannot read Bhagvad Gita or Vedas or Upanishads.
....as if they can read quran? think man!
Nobody needs to read the Vedas to understand their Dharmic responsibilities. Vedas simply provide some ways and means of going about it. They are not cook books, they are not a list of do's and don'ts. In fact the Srimad Bhagavat Gita itself came about due to the recognition that given where humanity had progressed at that time, a simpler interpretation of the philosophy was required - the philosophy dealing with how an individual connects with the whole. That's it in a nutshell.
But I do understand why you may find it difficult to conceptualize. Many muslims consider the Quran to be all encompassing and something to be compliant to (eg look at the numerous questions about does quran allow this etc).
=====================================================
So now getting back to the original discussion - does Quran say non-believers will burn in hell? if it does then it is hypocritical to claim it to be a message of tolerant peace!
