Lack of freedom for Muslim of India

Re: A Muslim Indian never lives in peace

Nisha, communal harmony is great, and I think no one should be opposed to it. But do you think the pendulum can swing too far? As in, one loses the unique traits of one’s own cultures/religion/heritage in trying to appease others?

It’s like person A from culture A and person B from culture B; both are so paranoid about not offending each other that they both continuously end up compromising on their beliefs and practises due to ‘political correctness’ until neither culture A nor culture B remains.

You say you’d love Salmn if he’s an ambassador for communal harmony; that’s an admirable trait and we need more such ambassadors in Pakistan. But consider the case (and I know it’s extreme but bear with me) that every single Muslim in India starts doing what Salman does i.e. Ganesh pooja, going to temples, forgetting their own religious obligations etc etc, until Islamic practises, and everything unique about Islamic heritage does not exist in India any longer… Doesn’t India lose out because of that loss of diversity…?

Communal harmony is great; Islam tells us about leaving peacefully with others, but surely let’s not forget our own heritages whilst we’re at it.

i’m not much of a bollywood watcher and far from a salman khan fan, haven’t watched his movies much.

i know and i have nothing against islam i do love lots of things about it, i’m not a muslim today b/c of such rules in islam though even if i’ve spent a couple years understanding it from learned muslims.even wishing a nonmuslim on their festivals is unislamic, a sweet thing to do and that would promote a peaceful living with nonmuslim brothers but it’s unislamic.
