Dear Afghan people consider Christianity, Hinduism, and Judaism

Dear Dr Pipes, As the Taleban recapture Afghanistan, we are hearing stories of thousands of Afghanistan Muslims scrambling to run away to other countries. In addition to the USA, I have heard cases where these people have taken shelter in India and the scores of European countries. Even rich Afghan celebrities have chosen to escape from Islamic Afghanistan. And, I did not hear any examples of these Afghanistani Muslims seeking shelter in any Islamic countries like Iran, Iraq, or Saudi Arabia.

If Muslims try so hard to make their homes in the infidel countries, they must consider that perhaps the, so called, infidels are not infidels after all. Perhaps, you find honor and peace among the infidels because they have more fidelity than you.

These Muslims should consider Christianity, Hinduism and Judaism as their future religion.

Christianity is simple and exhibits more love, forgiveness, a passion of service than Islam. One major con is that some Christians (like Muslims) are obsessed with converting others to their religion. But, that is not too much of a con; their methods are non-violent.

Hinduism is a tough cookie to crack. There are no easy answers. You have to dig your path around. But if you are willing to research enough, the Hinduic monotheism, is the mother of all monotheism! And, you have to deal with the blemish of the caste system. The major advantage is that there is so much freedom to think and speak that you might get buried Ander the weight of this freedom.

And, of course, there is Judaism: the literal fountainhead of all
monotheisms. Though Islam teaches persistent hate toward Judaism, you will not go wrong with Judaism (just look at how the tiny Israel does better than most other countries in all good things.

There are many more choices. Buddhism is one. Sikhism is another. Almost all religions are more peaceful than Islam. If you want to migrate to them so much, might as well consider their culture and religion.

This is humble invitation.
