Submitted by jennifer solis (United States), Apr 9, 2008 at 04:02

Mansoor,

Has Hinduism EVER claimed as part of their religion the right to KILL someone because they don't believe in their god, or gods?

ANSWER - NO

Has Hinduism ever supported followers of their faith to establish the equivalent of Dar-al-Salaam?

ANSWER - NO

Has Hinduism ever recognized the equivalent of Dar al-Harb?

ANSWER - NO

The very foundation of anyone's given religion is what I'm getting at - humans have a way of rationalizing their own actions by implementing or adopting, accurately or not, so-called religious "instruction" - Islam, by far, of any religion in human history, when taken literally, commands so much more destruction, and absolute hatred for dissention - by example, choice against Allah results in Muslims themselves killing the "unbelievers".

No other religion in human history commands this.

True, honest, across-the-board respect for choice - Islam does not contain this.

Should not it be, anyone makes their choice, free from oppression by another's religion?

I know you are faithfull to your religion, but why would a "true" God depend on the forced annihilation, and destruction, of freedom of choice?

Please consider this.

Regards, Jennifer
