ask ALLAH, HE will tell you. read the quran.

as always, ... in your vedas, one of the names of the supreme being, or BRAHMA is ALLAH. all you have to do is open the vedas and check it out. or if you are too lazy to do that, just ask a learned vedantist. thats all i can say about this. but until and unless you can prove this wrong, you should not waste more of ytour energy.

and it was their business to serve and worship god; call him BRAHMA or ALLAH. they did not. instead they went with what powerful kings said and truned their words into law. thats why some of you are shudras and some kshatriyas and some brahmins.

i think you should know better how ALLAH wanted them to worship HIM. youre from those people. dont sound more helpless than you are by asking me what the duty of your ancient people was.

who cares if revelation is revealed in a different language. there are things called translators. and you can always learn the language. so your argument here is very weak. the main thing to notice here is the pupose of the message. ask yourself this, if your people could learn engilsh to serve their british masters, why cant thery learn arabic to see what ALLAH tells them ?

are you sure their guidance was better? it wasnt anything universal. their revelation was concerned only with thei people. the quranic revelation is for all people not just a group. so do the math. and think before you speak. you have no idea how your own tongue can act against your own interests. and when ALLAH says guidance and misguidance both come from ALLAH, it presents a clear picturee of things. unlike your faith where things happen without god knowing it. religion is for giving truthful info about god. i think we both know islam does this better.

before mohammed bin quasim came ,your land housed corruption in all forms. incest was a common thing and not taboo anymore. everyone was doing it. the strong were oppressing the weak. kings stole the lands of poor people using force. and need i say that your heyday of glory was over long before that. this is pure history. your people could not even say what was original and what was fake about their vedantic religion. taking all these into account, you were doing just fine? wow !

have they? even i know that 95 percent of the shudras are still shudras. they still live in the dredges of society. your government may have tried to do away with it but it cant deny numbers. two thirds of the hindu population are shudras or live like shudras. check your statistics.

hahahah caste system in islm. you keep forgetting that your petty kings had no hand in writing the quran. only ALLAH did. sho me where ALLAH has created stratification in society? where does he order it? where does he say some men are better than other men. and where does he say that women are inferior to men? if you cant prove your false claims, i suggest you start being a journalist. journalists these days make a living by printing lies. ...

you quoted from surah nisa. verse 4 11 simply divides wealth to sexes. so according to your understanding women are inferior because they get half of what men get? superb !!! and if this is not the condition, then how do you expect the men to finance their family? did you know that the women are not obligated to work in islam and can retain her wealth all to herself all her life? and that the man is obligated to work and spend whatever he gets, no matter what the portion. so financially, the woman is the winner here. not the men. so ALLAH actually exalts the position of women here, and does not denigrate them.

again, you make forceful claims based on your own prejudice and skepticism. ask any jews in arabia or christians or any primitive bedouins, they all know bout ALLAH. do some field work for a change.

ho ho ho ho. wow. you moved from talking about scriptures to talking about existence of god. should i take this as a change of subject? you are stupendous yet again, although in a very dumb way. im not here to prove the existence of god to you. if your own heart and mind has been cursed by HIM, i cannot make you see the truth.
