Re: Hinduism 101: A crash course in the ancient faith
perhaps, but these rulings are obviously completely outdated and irrelevant in today’s society - hence their comprehensive non-usage throughout the muslim world.
similarly, hinduism has its counterpart to the Shariah system, which is detailed in the Code of Manu, ranging from economic and governmental policy to societal structure, common law, etc…the difference is that hindus largely accept this as out of date, and as a result, the Code of Manu’s canon carries very little authority amongst hindus of today.
the difference is that the muslim mentality places everything within the context of “Islam is perfect”, and therefore the rejection of inferior systems of government/economy/etc. is not tolerated, despite the obvious truth. of course, it is wholly rejected in practice (as evidenced by the state of all muslim nations), but the admission of inferiority and irrelevance to the current state of affairs remains unpopular. they all follow “kuffar” systems, yet refuse to actually admit that these kuffar systems that are consistently updated and improved are actually better than a system best-suited for 7th century Arabia. why is that? all these hardcore muslims quickly call it “selling out to the kuffar”, without actually considering the possiblity that the kuffar are better at certain things. actions speak louder than words. and i don’t see how it’s any great bragging point…it only indicates naivete and denial.
