This has reference to a comMent from Haji Jahangir Alam about my above titled message.

Haji Alam's words are appreciated. But some additions should be there. Haji Sahib may kindly note that most of the religions are followed by a particular people of particular region. Below I am furnishing some details as supporting evidences.

Judaism is a closed religion. They are today for their (chosen) people, by their (chosen) people, and of their (chosen) people.

So is Hinduism. Some human may reform it but in reality it is what it is. Former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi married a Muslim, Mohammad Feroze Khan. But with the tactful advice of the senior leaders, he was made Feroze Gandhi and reported to be a Parsee. Under the propaganda machine this fact remains fully forgotten even in India today.

The religion of Parsis is also for their people, by their people, and of their people. No entry for others.

The Buddhists are not yet a formal religion. It not yet known what is this religion. Of course, there are several cults under the banner of this religion. On the whole one may say that it is a spiritual off-shoot of the Hindu philosophy. Do they believe in God? Is Buddha God? Or it is like the Christian belief Jesus-God, two-in-one. Sorry, since covered by the Holy Ghost, it should be called a three-in-one.

As to Christianity, it is very difficult to comment. There are more than a hundred denominations. Some say Jesus was born illegitimate. Some say that God is his biological father, Himself reborn as Jesus. Or with His DNA in Jesus himself. Clerics are always good in grammar and language. But it is not understandable what they actually mean to say. At least, clear from science and logic point of views. Of course, in the words of Hamlet I may say, there are more things in heaven and earth than we dreamt of in our philosophy! Christianity today has been commercialized. All the Christian Missionaries in the East are managed and overseen by the Western Christians. May be because the Eastern Christian are counted as second class Christians!

Similar is the story many other religions.

Islam is the only existing religion in the world which is open to all. Its holy book The Koran is and can be opened by anybody in the world -- whether a Muslim or a non-Muslim, believer or non-believer. But unfortunately Islam is censored in some form, in all non-Muslim countries. Say in the U.K. and U.S.A. The Koran is not openly encouraged to be sold; in the Russian Federation one is to obtain prior permission from the Government for buying a copy of The Koran. In India hundreds of anti-Muslim riots every year; destruction of mosques are taking place; and above all the High Court entertains hearings on Writ Petition for banning The Koran. I do not want to make the list longer.

Yes, Muslims today are backward around the world. Arab Muslims got the free gift of Petroleum from Nature and are less poor. But see deeply, the Christian West defeated the Muslims and Muslim ajority countries, including India. All the acts of the Christian West have been to defeat the Muslims and keep them less educated and poor. They were successful to do so against the Muslims. The results are obvious.

But the irony of fete is the birth of disease; terrorism; ignorance; massive illiteracy; and poverty. If your neighbour suffers, you cannot remain absolutely unaffected. The Muslims are neighbours to everybody in the world!

We pray to God for his help. He is the Way, He is the Guide, He is for Eternity. He loves us, we adore Him. Islam loves you, do not hate Islam.
