to Michael Zala on comparing Holocaust with others

Submitted by AS (India), Jan 16, 2007 at 02:51

Holocaust is the most acute, severe and pointed blow to a community for evil reasons led by a few deranged ppl. However, in the Indian subcontinent, it is estimated that 60million HIndus/Buddhists were killed in the areas of Afghanistan, Pakistan and India over the years.

obviously i dont have any 'PROOF'. but actuarial science methods that are used to estimate populations of species n their movement can be used. these were series of attacks done over centuries. you may refer to writings of William Durant or Koenrad Elst. of course you can always dismiss them as biased.

while Christianity can be blamed for many evil deeds in the past, you cant directly associate the deeds of funny ppl in the Church with Jesus Christ. However, if you look at the deeds of Mohammad, you can see a very strong connection between muslim ppl deeds andMohammad. for example, neither Christ or Buddha or Mahavir Jain or the Sikh guru fought any battle or killed ppl. they did not sleep with a 10 yr old. they did not sleep with their son's wife just becoz they couldnt control their lust. this guy did. Ppl saw the rise of 3 religions after Hinduism in the sub-continent without any war. but this guy fought like 80 odd battles or somehting in his lifetime. why?

when someone wakes up and talks sense, ppl across time and culture stand up to listen! when someone talks rubbish, normal ppl in the neighborhood will have problems. if you for a moment keep your rationality and believe that God coming to some prophet with his mesgs might be a good work of fiction at best, then we assume that these books were written by men (mind you not women). now how on earth do you expect anything serious in terms of philosophy or theology or spiritual to come out of arabia at that point of time. that guy was a charlatan.

dont even compare Christianity or Christ with Mohammad or Islam just becoz both are 'religions'. this so called religion is devoid of anything profound. it is just a collection of basic socio-political issues and self serving ideology. no one but me. nothing but me. believe me or else. if you critically examine their history a lot will be visible quite easily. as far as Gandhi is concerned, please leave the poor soul alone. he has no relevance to the west.
