Re: Hinduism 101: A crash course in the ancient faith
anjjan, you are absolutely right. Hindus over thousands of years have shown less respect to women. But i once again would like to point out that it had nothing to do with hinduism! The mahabharata is not supposed to be a code of life. The characters are fallible and frequently do bad things. It is precisely this aspect that the epic is supposed to highlight. We are to read it and understand what is good and what is evil. The pandavas were not meant to be gods or god's messengers. They are merely people who decided at some point to stand up for their dharma.
I think india has a long way to go before women are given the respect they deserve, but the lack of respect has more to do with culture than religion. If i may point out, recent examples of lack of respect for women have emerged in all cultures of south asia, irrespective of which religion the perpertrators have belonged to.
Re: Hinduism 101: A crash course in the ancient faith
Yes islam has solution on cloning and stem cell technology no we are not talking vague pharse either, so if you have no idea if judaism or ancient arab laws cover modern problems why are you posting nonsense and making baseless accusations. I know hinduism in inadequate in solving mans problems today but don’t apply it to islamic system without proof.
As for women drivers, flying, chatting on the net, can you give me the islamic verdict on this not some vague phrase which you getting from your unchecked sources i.e some news item you heard from saudi arabia or pakistan.
I can see now your understanding of islam is from media soundbites because otherwise you would not be posting the same old rehashed rubbish we getting bored of day in day out, if you want serious discussion then do some research on these topics i am sure you capable of that.
As an example you quoted cutting hand of the theif , if a person for example steals because he is starving or has no way to feed himself the circumstances are taken taken into consideration also the amont stolen is taken into consideration so stealing a purse would not result in a persons hand being cut. However if this person is just a thief like bank robber who steals non stop for a living and he is caught he will face the punishment.
Re: Hinduism 101: A crash course in the ancient faith
ak-47 you are hiding behind religen. you can always blame allthe problems because
people are not following islam 100%. which country you like in past 10,000 years.
Re: Hinduism 101: A crash course in the ancient faith
Mirza Sahib, this apparent coincidence has been pointed out by many Islamic “scholars” but the truth is different from what they say. Hinduism considers Kalki bhagwan as an incarnation of God. Whereas the Mahdi is a prophet, a redeemer, not a God. Trying to link both is not right. Some scholars try to do that in order to find reconciliation between Islam and Hinduism but certain prophecies in Hinduism only appear similar to Islam but they are not the same. They are mere coincidences and nothing more than that.
Re: Hinduism 101: A crash course in the ancient faith
People will accept islamic system but even in the islamic state at time of the prophet(pbuh) had theives, rebels, adulturers etc. However mankind in designed to make mistakes and as muslims we much prefer the islamic system which is much better at dealing with the problems to any other system because it is the system muslims trust and belive in and you know where are with islam unlike secular system like capitalism which makes something illegal one day and legal the next day like taking drugs and being bent.
Re: Hinduism 101: A crash course in the ancient faith
AK 47, do you even read what you write. I did not say that Islamic laws cover everything in modern life, you said that. So it is for you to tell me how it covers flying, chatting etc not for me to tell you that. I never said that Judaism and ancient Arab laws cover modern problems, I instead said that ancient arab laws are archaic. If you think that a religion should also have legal codes and cultural codes than surely Hinduism is inadequate.
Re: Hinduism 101: A crash course in the ancient faith
From the very moment that God spoke the first word of Revelation to Muhammad – “Recite!” – the story of Islam has been in a constant state of evolution as it responds to the social, cultural, political, and temporal circumstances of those who are telling it. Now it must evolve once more
Re: Hinduism 101: A crash course in the ancient faith
Dear Shankar
Rama, Pandavas or many other heroes of our epics are our ideals. Culture is an outcome of our religion.
If we are intolerant towards someone, towards untouchables or towards women, the seeds of such intolerance are very much there in the religion.
Or you want to take shelter of the common excuses; 'dont judge the religion by the acts of followers.
And Dear Ak, thanks for entertaining us. You are doing the part of a good commedian at this serious thread. Keep it up.
Re: Hinduism 101: A crash course in the ancient faith
rvkiz constant state of evolution what you talking about dude, islam is complete any new problems it can deal with. Why does islam need to change because you or the secularists don’t like it because it does not conform to your secualr thoughts well thats too bad islam is here to stay and the only thing it will evolve into is from thoughts into a fucntioning state, the kuffar cannot even handle the islamic thoughts how on earth they gonna deal with a fully functioning state.
The revelation was completed and the deen is also complete, this article from someones view is that islam evolved over time and it needs to again is inconsistent with what actually happened people 1400 years ago had social interactions and today they have social interactions, they had families then they have them today etc the only difference today is the means of communication and technology the basic needs of mankind remain the same. The secular systems are in dire need to be changed not only changed but destroyed they causing havoc worldwide.
surya your loss there is no muddle or puddle you cannot back your claims so dont post rubbish.
Re: Hinduism 101: A crash course in the ancient faith
Religion is but one factor for culture - unless we have a different definition for culture.
This can be proven positively and otherwise.
As you know one of Rama’s qualities was he wouldn’t even think of another woman than Sita. Krishna on the other hand, had a different yuga dharma. Both are revered Gods for Hindus and present very little conflict. What cultural influence do you think this would have posed?
In the present day, a simple (!) thing as internet has changed cultures
Re: Hinduism 101: A crash course in the ancient faith
Ak 47, you may say Islam has solutions to all problems of life and is not just a religion. But if you go out into the real world, you will see the prevailing confusion in the Islamic world because they run to religion to find all solutions to problems of life. But I guess, you would keep on parrotting the same thing again and again without providing any examples.
Re: Hinduism 101: A crash course in the ancient faith
surya again you are not providing sources so they can be shot down and refuted.
The real world which you go on about if you actually go there yourself you will see the muslims in their droves want islamic system not any other escpecially secular solutions which they have tried and rejected but are being forced at gunpoint to live under by dictators and hand picked puppets.
And the one quote from your post which again can be refuted very simply you said the confusion in the islamic world and what systems are dominating the islamic world Secular ones you provided the answer and you didnt even realise.
Re: Hinduism 101: A crash course in the ancient faith
so how come none of these muslim nations are using shariah law? why is there no caliphate? there are over 1 billion muslims in the world…you are saying a revolution against a handful of monarchs is not possible? b.s.
the reality is that muslims say they want shariah law only while knowing that it will never happen. that way they cover all their bases…they don’t look like kafirs, yet they don’t actually have to live in an archaic 7th century world. how convenient.
Re: Hinduism 101: A crash course in the ancient faith
Nikhail the only BS is coming from your mouth the muslim ummah wants islamic system no doubt about it, you ever been to saudi try spaking against the monarach and i will see your body parts displayed in riyadh market ok.
The reality is the US and nations like Britain can no longer rely on their puppet rulers in the muslim lands there time is running out and now the colonialist have returned just like the British raj you remmeber them don't you the ones that used to make hundreds of hindus crawl on their fronts because they looked at a white woman, or the same british raj that would wipe out thousands of hindus even if they revolted in the slightest!
This idea of 7th century world where do you get your information you really have no idea about islam otherwise you would'nt be talking this nonsense come on give us the same old lines chopping hand of the theif, women covered up with no rights, any more soundbites you have to add because its old hat and dismissed as old hat try something new because its gettig boring.
I got an idea why don't you ask the muslim peoples what they want instead of applying your ignorant ideas about what they want !
