There were two Muslim guys working for us in our office . On Diwali puja they discreetly carried the parshad away and don&#39;t know what they did with it.<br />I had heard that that if they have a choice they&#39;d shop from a Muslim shopkeeper not from a Hindu one . And i experienced it first hand on two occasions. One of my cousins has married a Muslim guy,when I went visiting them I noticed ,that whatever they shopped they went to muslim shop owners .be it clothes,or services or a cooler or food.<br /> The second incident was when an elderly muslim guy came shopping for computers to our establishment.now my husband developed an instant camaraderie with the guy when he came to know that he was from Aligarh (my husband did his college from there).he made every possible effort to make him comfortable ,taking extra care.now there were one or two things which we didn&#39;t have in our stock so my husband advised him to go to another shop and get it. (he even talked to that friend of his to treat this gentleman nicely and get his stuff)now the old man left his bag at our shop and went hunting for the rest of the stuff.after some time a boy from another establishment came and said falane sahib ka bag de do who hamari dukaan se Samaan le rahe hai.needless to say that shop owner was Muslim.<br />So guys it is fact that 90% of Muslims in India don&#39;t assimilate with the majority. And it hurts.what if Hindus start doing that .would they be able to survive on a limited clienteleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14053277.post-59859436195799200312010-06-02T04:48:15.393-07:002010-06-02T04:48:15.393-07:00@ Arshad <br /><br />Now I dont understand whats the connection between that mulsim person not taking prasad and police encounters of innocent Muslims. why are you linking unrelated stuff like that. and why are you criticizing brahmins. and frankly you sound like a radical Islamist. Because of people like you and that guy who dint accept prasad The muslim prejudices are being re enforced<br /><br />better think before you say &#39;cause <br />it will not only effect you but also your community.Kiran sainoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14053277.post-7919953691123858192010-06-02T04:39:00.568-07:002010-06-02T04:39:00.568-07:00Well I personally believe that these prejudices which are found in both Muslims and Hindus are the result of certain Actions that happened in history.<br /><br />A general increasing trend of violence has been seen post WW2 in Africa and Asia. This is because of long suppression and disregard of the legitimate nationalistic sentiments of the Natives by european imperealists and the use of divide and rule policy .After world war 2 the european empires collaspsed and these sentiments burst forth like wild fire.<br /><br />something similar happened in India.<br />Most of the populace in india today beleives that that whatever prejudices and stereotyping that exists in both Hindus and Muslims have existed for a long time,from the time of mughals as few sangh parivar people say. THIS IS NOT AT ALL TRUE.<br /><br />these communal differences are the result of vicious british divide and rule policy and have been propogated on purpose by the british<br /><br />and the Partition solidified them.<br /><br />other examples of this kind of divide and rule policy can be found in Rwanda ,Africa. the civil war fought by the Tutsi and Hutu peoples was the result of policies of German imperialists.Kiran Sainoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14053277.post-61549771750331578492009-03-30T14:18:00.000-07:002009-03-30T14:18:00.000-07:00These muslims happen so do- these hindus , these christians etc. Human nature to categorize, stereotype and simplify things. Especially in India with long history. It is just natural. Once a muslim freind, while talking about US and Bush said it is wrong to worship people but THESE CHRISTIANS do. That is why this and that. I am sure you heard such things many times. Afterall i don't know many muslims, yet got to hear. Think a little before connecting every little thing to discrimination.It may all be in your head. Please have frank discussions with such people and provide them info that proves otherwise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14053277.post-80717347952810871922009-03-30T11:42:00.000-07:002009-03-30T11:42:00.000-07:00@Arshad10<BR/>Your argument is invalid. The prasaad given out was rejected by the Muslim because according to Quran everything that belongs to an infidel, especially in the name of an infidel God is haram. <BR/><BR/>Your point would have been valid if a piece of pork was given as prasaad which is innately against Muslim diet, but that was not the case. <BR/><BR/>Islamic intolerance cannot be justified in this Muslims guy's case.

Remember that the pandavas fulfilled all conditions set by the Kauravas, were willing to digest all the insults and even settle down for just 5 villages, but the kauravas would not budge. Hence the war became inevitable.<BR/><BR/>The idea is to fight for dharma, even if those who commit adharma are actually God-believers. Bishma, Drona and karna were all believers but still they were opposed by the pandavas for siding with adharma.<BR/><BR/>This concept might be very difficult for you as Islam just divides the world into believers and non-believers and automatically associates non-believers with sin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14053277.post-70874643318882423562008-11-12T15:19:00.000-08:002008-11-12T15:19:00.000-08:00my dear hindu friend now you tell me when ur muslim friend rejected that parshad(since it is not allowed in the religion to eat things which are in the name other than allah).HOW SINCERE IS OUR MUSLIM FRIEND TOWARDS HIS RELIGION, WHICH YOU SHOULD HAVE RESPECTED AND NOT CRITICISE.<BR/><BR/>MUSLIM ARE BEING KILLED BY ENCOUNTERS WITHOUT ANY PROOF.

Muslims has got no respect for other religions and they expect others to respect them. As a religion, it is the most violent and preach violence.

A must read...<BR/><BR/>http://www.jewcy.com/cabal/muslim_now_available_insult_form/<BR/><BR/>And a blogger wrote this (an eye opener)<BR/><BR/>~~~ Quote ~~~<BR/><BR/>Intolerance and hate are different thingsI believe that every individual should be regarded as just that, an individual, and not be judged on the basis of group identity. <BR/><BR/>I own a copy of the Quran. I'm familiar with it's message. Though Islam is too inane to be believed, I do keep a copy of Islam's book around for reference. The Quran is the most hateful book ever written. On nearly every page, non-Muslims are mentioned in a way that is hugely derogatory. In this book is a timeless call to war for everyone who believes against those who don't. This isn't a one or two passage affair, hatred toward non-believers (Jews and Christians in particular) is almost the only message that the Quran teaches, and it is commanded to continue until Islam envelops the world. <BR/><BR/>I don't doubt that there are people who claim to be peaceful Muslims. I understand that they believe their religion was established by a peaceful man who wanted a continuation of Biblical behavior. But they only know of the Islam that they are being taught. They are not actual Muslims. <BR/><BR/>Islam has been at war with the world since Islam was invented by a charlatan to satisfy his urges for sex, money, and power. Currently, Islam is at war with Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Hinduism, and others. None of these religions are at war with one another. Islamic nations are involved in four-fifths of the world's armed conflicts, though they only account for one-sixth of the global population, so they are many times more violent than the rest of us. <BR/><BR/>Scripture tells us that we are not to accept or tolerate in God's name or character anything that is untrue, and this includes any false religion. When it comes to deceptive and destructive doctrines corrupting the hearts of men, YHWH (why exactly are you scared of His name?) isn't at all tolerant, and He doesn't want us to be either. <BR/><BR/>Here is a helpful link that most of you will ignore. Most people won't spend 40 hours of their lives learning who wants them dead and what it will take to stop them, but for those who do, I invite you to read Prophet of Doom. Some of you may not fully appreciate Craig's ideological perspective, but it enables him to put Islam in the context of scripture so you can better understand why today's events are happening, and that they were predicted thousands of years ago. <BR/><BR/>http://www.prophetofdoom.net/Islamic_Terrorism_Timeline.Islam <BR/><BR/>Read the introduction to the timeline, then read the book. It is the most honest and complete guide to Islam in existence. <BR/><BR/>Though the prevailing sentiment is that we need to be more tolerant, in fact, we need to be far more discerning. Our tolerance problem is that we are far too tolerant toward a doctrine that kills. And should anyone be confused, intolerance does not mean the same thing as hate. Intolerance is the unwillingness to accept, which should be our attitudes toward anything false (i.e. religions). Hate is enmity toward your fellowman. It is possible to love someone and be completely intolerant of their convictions. It is an attitude requiring courage to show, and to save Muslims from themselves takes concern and commitment. <BR/><BR/>~~~ Unquote ~~~<BR/><BR/>No wonder the old man said what he said...<BR/><BR/>I am a Hindu and have many muslim friends. However one incident changed my mindset towards muslims (although I am educated and live in Delhi.<BR/><BR/>A colleague (a Sikh) lost her father and we colleagues went to her house to condole. She gave us "prashaad" to eat which we all (hindus, chtistians and sikhs) did there and then but a muslim friend of mine hid it in his palm and threw it in drain as soon as he came out. When I asked him what he did he said "Its not allowed in our religion"<BR/><BR/>How do you expect Hindus, Christians, Jews to respect you when you don't respect them and their religion...<BR/><BR/>I have not spoken with that guy after that incident.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14053277.post-1150619495237927262006-06-18T01:31:00.000-07:002006-06-18T01:31:00.000-07:00I have been following your blog with some interest.
