Re: There is no Idol Worship in Hinduism
That is why even if you perform your namaz 5 times, visit mecca every year and sport a beard as prescribed, those are just show and useless if underneath all that you think less of the non-muslim or want to punish somebody who chose to leave islam etc.
Muslims think rituals are useless if not backed by faith, too...
The difference here is that Muslims feel there is a path to God...and we are exclusivist. From what you say Hindus claim to be, to a degree, pantheists and recognize many possible paths to God. The problem here is that such claims are useless in Hindu-Muslim dialog as both must necessarily exclude the other as valid paths.
You can't agree with a particular path being one of many paths to God, when that path itself is exclusivists.
I also don't think it's much better thiking less of Muslims, regardless of their deeds, who think their path is exclusive...for all the talk of toleration and openness to others ideas, in the end you just excluded a path based on salient qualities of the path rather than individual deeds...and this itself can just as well be a source of bigotry (and I think those who are defending imagined slights on Hinduism on this very thread exhibit this behavior quite nicely) as any other exclusivist ideology.
It sounds, to me, you're demanding affirmation from others who don't share your faith...which I think is bizzare.
