>>Are you sure other religions are good? Constantine carried a cross to start battle to conquer the world earlier.<<
No most other religions also contain stuff to turn one's stomach but the big difference with Islam is they have rejected them. Islam is unable to reform itself because of Koran's claim it is the direct word of God.
>>You talk bad about muslims and I too will comment on Hinduism. Hinduism is a religion with garbage.<<
Since I am an atheist whatever you say about Hinduisim does not affect me. But I will comment on your comments on Hinduism.
>>No wonder Muhammad would destroy those idols since you'll pray to animals in the world or praying to a fairie tale creature.<<
What kind of creatures are angels and jinns and Allah. Can anyone see or hear them. Only Muhammad claimed he could and credulous Muslims believe he did.
>>You should prove to me whether the idols you'll worship can undeerstand what you pray to them?<<
I will prove it to you if you can prove to me that Allah hears yours prayers. At least the idols exist. You cannot even prove Allah exists.
>>Can you prove to me the idols you'll pray could satisfy with the buring incense?<<
Can you prove to me that the animals you sacrifice can satisfy Allah?
>>You condemn my religion and you feel there is a joy within you.<<
I point out the faults in your religion. You call that condemnation. I feel no joy in it just sadness that a religion like Islam has a following of more than a billion people.
How about all muslims talk bad about Hinduism, the silliest religion and ponder how you feel.<<
I couldn't care less. Even if Muslims do not talk bad about Hinduism you cannot get away from the fact that Allah Himself talks bad of it by cursing and abusing polytheists.
>>Hinduism is worse than any religions so far. They like to stir up muslims to fight.<<
All Muslims seem to think so too i.e Hinduism is the worst religion. But so what? Muslims did not even exist when Hinduism formed. How could it stir up Muslims to fight? If you mean today's Hindus, have you heard of Hindus in Singapore, Malaysia or Indonesia killing their neighbours like the Muslim do wherever they are (Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand….)?
>> Your god is simply a piece of wood with elephant head or a god with a buffalo head. Some even worse, Hinduism could have god with many hands. <<
Your god cannot even show Himself in any form (the Hindu gods have no issue allowing people to display Them in the myriad forms of the universe). And I do not believe in any gods, Hindu or Muslim or any other.
>>Don't you find that you worship an elephant or buffalo or even a story of fairie tale, a god with many hands. Could you find in this worse a creature with many hands?<<
What about Buraq the horse with wings, peacock tail and the head of a woman. Was that a beautiful creature your prophet rode to heaven? She is not a god, but Allah created her! See picture below. LOL. http://www.geocities.com/khola_mon/myth/buraq.jpg
>>When I see Indians pray to their god, they do not pay even respect to their god since they do not bow down their whole bodies to pray to their god.<<
They do not do that because they respect all religions and they know Allah resides in the heavens. If they prayed like Muslims their behinds not their faces will be exposed to Allah.
>>What kind of religion is this. a god of elephant; or a god of bull or a god of fairie tale.<<
No more a fairy tale than a formless Allah who is unable to speak to all his creatures despite claiming to be all-powerful.
>>Even if a muslims would stand before the god of Hinduism and start scolding them, they do not feel angry with us.<<
You can understand now how tolerant the Hindu gods are, Nozzi. Or is it because they aren't affected by what puny little humans who calls themselves Muslims say or do to them? What would Allah do if the Hindus scolded Allah in a mosque. He would get angry and fret and fume and threaten to burn them would He not? I have been making light of His powers on this blog for long and I have yet to hear a peep from Allah. Is it because I am an atheist? LOL
>>I would not destroy your idols since I have no part of it. However, even if muslim extremists would destroy the gods of Hinduism, the face of your god would not look angry and this proves that your god allows non-muslims to come and destroy them.<<
The Hindu idols not getting angry at being desecrated by Muslims goes to show that they couldn't care less what the Muslims did to their images in wood or stone. Whatever the Muslims care to do to them does not affect them one bit. They are just pieces of wood and stone. But what about Allah? Do you see Him getting angry at me. I do not have any indication of it yet. Is He waiting patiently for me to die to get His hands on me? Maybe the Hindu gods are also waiting for the destroyers of their images to come to them. But the Hindu gods, if they exist, will not torture the Muslims who desecrated their images. They will give them more chances to be better Muslims by giving them rebirth as other life forms.
>>Can you prove to me your god would feel angry when a person would destroy your god in Indian temples?<<
Can you prove to me that Allah is angry with me for writing what I do? If you can I can also prove Hindu gods DO NOT feel angry or disgust at what Muslims do to their images. Hindu gods do not get angry or jealous or happy unlike Allah who is terribly worried about His image and His position as the lord of everything.
>>If you could prove me that, what Muslim extremists did or do to your idols should be condemned. if you could not prove that your god would be annoyed as a result of someone destroying your god, there is no reason why you crticise Muhammad and his followers to destroy your idols since your god did not feel angry with them.<<
Just as the idols did not react to Muhammad and His followers desecrating them, similarly I find that Allah has not bothered to warn me about what I write. Allah does not care what I write, only Muslims do. Now you know why I write what I write.
