Inside the Indian village where a mob killed a man for eating beef
Re: Inside the Indian village where a mob killed a man for eating beef
how sad i hope they get justice even his sons were beaten and are fighting for their lives. But how could they consider cows sacred , and even if they do in hinduism isn't it a sin to kill?
Re: Inside the Indian village where a mob killed a man for eating beef
Burn all of them.

That is religion for you. What is sacred for one religion won't be sacred for another. Some religions consider a human being born circa 2040 years ago the son of god. Another religion consielders a human being born circa 1400 years ago a prophet. Another religion says there was a prophet after that. The previously mentioned religion considers this blasphemy. One religion thinks each time Brahma closes and opens his eyelids, millions of years have passed. One religion believes in Shiva AND Vishnu. While the other religion rejects Shiva. Then there is Scientology. Some would say Buddhism makes the most sense. Till you see the violence in Indonesia inspired by this religion. And maybe even in Sri Lanka.
Point here is, if you start finding lack of logic in ANY religion, you leave your religion open to similar findings from those of another religion.
None of this changes the barbaric acts of this mob instigated by their priest.
That is why Religion has become an evil force in today's society. And should never be allowed to interfere in governance.

They will pay for the sins one they.....
Re: Inside the Indian village where a mob killed a man for eating beef
I am not sure how legit was that but someone on fb posted a link that said autopsy showed he had mutton, not beef
Re: Inside the Indian village where a mob killed a man for eating beef
^ yes that is true.
Though it should not matter what he ate. His business. Not the goddamned priests or mobs.
So... u can't kill a cow but humans are fair game? I'm sure the logic in Hinduism upon stressing sacred animals was to make people understand all life is valuable, even animals.

What i meant to say is how could they consider it more sacred than a human. How could it make sense that they killed someone whilst they are against killing a certain species. Either way Islam makes more sense then hinduism in my opinion.

No animal ie Cow is so pavitra that on it's eating meat, killing human being is justified. (dadri, India case)
No book ie Quran is so pak that on burning it's pages, burning of dharmshala is justified. (larkana, pakistan case)
No prophet is so devine that on making whose cartoon, killing is justified (Charlie hebdo case)
No religion is so sacred on name of which mass killing or genocide is justified (ISIS)
So in your opinion Islam makes more sense on whose name people kill people whether shia kill sunni ie muslims killing muslims, muslims kill christians, hindus, yahoodi, people kill innocent animals in the name of sacrifice, ridiculous indeed. I saw some posters during Eid depicting not to kill goat or camel in front of other animal. Is this violence makes more sense? or Islam makes more sense then Hinduism when people to kill in the name of jihad? isn't it? like your words "How could it make sense that they killed someone whilst they are against what you believe" it is like that you believe in prophet muhammad and you will kill all those who don't believe in him and make cartoons. Isn't it? you believe in Quran and you will kill all those who don't believe in it? some people are already favoring Ghazwa-e-hind. Hinduism doesn't favor any kind of violence it says *sarve bhavantu sukhinah, sarve santu niramayah *ie everyone shall be happy and healthy both human beings and animals. In my opinion no ancient text makes any sense when people kill others on name of it whether it is Quran, Veda, Bible or any other.

Thank you for clarifying what you meant. In the initial post, it read "How can cows be considered sacred...." (not more sacred than humans)
Of course what this priest and mob did was barbaric. They misused religion. While such elements have always existed everywhere including India, the election of Modi has provided more oomph to such murderers and religious bigots.
Re your last sentence, since you are a Muslim - probably a practising Muslim- that Islam makes more sense to you I think is totally par for the course.
However, it appears to me you are using actions of this mob to further affect your perceptions and biases. And that is not very Islamic.

Actually these days these religious people like that priest are more harmful. And I see that unfortunate incident is more political than religious after the news came that a BJP leader's son is involved. If cow is so sacred thet hindus consider it their mother then why they leave it in old age? I see many aged cows are wandering here and there eating polythene bags. In hinduism public worship everything beneficial whether it is sun, fire, river, mountain, tree or animal. Why we don't care holy rivers Ganga and yamuna? Ganga is one of the most polluted river in India and Hindus consider it as mother. Literally no one cares cow now, it is political leaders and so called learned priest who are thirsty of human blood.

^ I agree 100.01 pct.
Re: Inside the Indian village where a mob killed a man for eating beef
@Anjul - totally agree with you. I think this killing is a ploy to polarize the people based on religion. The state that i come from - Kerala.. Most of the hindus eat beef. I really wish all religion was banned.

no im not doing that. Just mentioning its a horrible thing they did and that i prefer my own religion.

We tend to be lenient with the mistakes that the people do if they belong to the same religion.
That said, I do not believe anybody in their right mind would condone this nonsense. Typical response from some of my hindu friends.. I agree what was done was wrong but does'nt worse things happen in the name of religion elsewhere.
