DOWNLOAD BOOK Islam, Muslim Problem and Civilisational Conflict Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader DO ALL RELIGIONS PREACH LOVE PEACE AND COMPASSION? This is what, after every multi-religious Meeting / Conference; Media conveys to the Public? But, is it true and can we accept such news at their face value?   Media credibility in doubt, as large sections are controlled by money-power employing reporters - most among them, either ignorant of religions and their heritage, or are guided and motivated; such news need to be verified and analyzed so that public is not misled and fed with  half- truths. Religion is a faith and belief, and may or may not have an element of spiritualism. As per Dr. B.R Ambedkar – Hinduism is a commonwealth of religions. Hinduism – causally mentioned as having 33 Crore Gods, to day has many more – a God inside each person.  Supreme Court of India – when challenged by a petitioner, ruled that “Hinduism is not a religion. It is a way of life”. Every Religion has three aspects viz.  (i) Relationship between man and God.  (ii) Relationship between man and persons of the same religion and (iii) Relationship between man and persons of other religions. In respect of (a) and (b) all religions teach and preach the same thing.  Difference however lies in (c), which has become the cause of all inter - religion strifes, wars, jihads and crusades etc.  Jews - the first among monotheist religions do not believe in conversion or proselytization, thus do little harm to others unless provoked and or attacked.  The other two major monotheist Religions - Christianity dominated in about 70 countries and Islam in 57 countries, have monopolized God - one through Christ - as the only son of God and the other Prophet Mohammed, as the only Prophet of God.  As both believe and try to win and convert non-believers to their faith by force/fear and other means – that becomes the root cause of dissensions, inter – religion strifes and wars disturbing the peace of our World. Jesus Christ was a Jew known for love, peace and compassion and spoke in Armenian.  He was crucified by Roman Kings when made to speak in Hebrew and Greek as the meanings infuriated them. Three Hundred years after his crucifixion, Constantine became Christ’s follower and established Vatican Pope’s Catholic Organization.  Bible was first written in 1525 by William Tyndale but he was accused and burnt at stake. Christianity allows freedom of expression and thinking. Majority over the years have dissociated with Pope due to several continuing controversies.  King James of England in 1611 brought first edition of bible, which over the period has been revised and rewritten several times. Pope‘s Catholics engage in open conversions by all possible means and Christianity in general is perpetually at conflict and war with Islam. Gladstone, PM of England once openly said in the parliament that so long Koran is in its present form, there cannot be peace in the world. Islam beliefs are i) God is one and Mohammad is His prophet (ii)Any non- believer in Mohammad is a Kafir and if not converted has to face Zimmi’s life or death (iii)  World is divided in two parts (a) Dar- ul- Islam – prevalent in 57 Islamic countries and Dar- ul – Harb.  i.e. rest of the world as land of struggle- till converted in to Dar- ul- Islam.  Islam believes in “Ummah – Muslim brotherhood”, worldwide and there is thus no concept of nationality. Jihad is perpetual, role model being Prophet himself- in whose 10 year life in Madina after Hijrat, before death in 632 A.D, there were 82 jihads out of which 26 were led by him. Out of 6236 Ayats in KORAN about 3900 are related directly or indirectly to Kafirs, Some of which are quite harsh. Freedom of expression, discussion and analysis is not permitted in Islam due to which reforms for removing write ups against non-Muslims may be quite difficult. Hindus believe in divinity - God - as soul - within each human being and thus do not consider them as sinners or servants. Hindus respect all religions and all prophets as God’s Avatars.  Basis of Hinduism (i) Ekam Sad - Bahunam Vadanti” (ii) “Atam Vat- Sarva Bhuteshu” and (iii) Vasudhaev Kutumbakam”.  Hindus have never invaded any country and never tried to proselytize anyone by force or inducement.  Lord Krishan, in Sloke 11 of Chapter IV of Geeta – universally applicable to all humanity, states “In whatever way men worship me, in the same way do I fulfill their desires”.  On caste system widely misused by our Pundits, politicians and may others, Lord Krishan has mentioned in Sloke-13 of chapter IV of Geeta “Four fold caste is based on Gunas – (Satvic, Rajsik and Tamsik) and one’s Karma.”  This has been mentioned and elaborated again in Sloke- 32 of chapter IX and sloke 41 to 45 chapter XVIII. Sudra the lowest caste is in fact considered most respectful as we do “Paduka- Puja” and touch elder’s feet whenever we meet them or seek their blessings.  This classification in larger concept is prevalent throughout the World.  Service class (Sudra) all over the World is in majority doing wonderful job.  Hindu caste- system spoilt and misused over period has nothing to do with Birth or Heredity. We must be therefore be clear before accepting that all religions preach love, peace and compassion.  Mr. Jean - Pierre Lehman currently the professor of International Political Economy at the International institute of Management Development - Switzerland states, ”Islam and Christianity are incompatible with globilism.  Monotheist religions have caused so much turmoil throughout the World history and continue to do so even now.  He sees a new global ethical and spiritual model, as today’s need.  His search for that model leads him to see India as the best candidate to supply that model to the World.” Issued by Nationalist Forum in the interest of all  humanity
