Hindus believe that they should offer their sincere prayers to God in any form they like. They can look upon God with form or without form; He is infinite, omnipresent, omnipotent
and omniscient. They can worship Him in the form of Mother Earth,
Water, Air, Fire, Sun, Moon, Stars, Oceans, Rivers, Mountains, Intelligence,
Memory, Learning, Valour; infact, anything that inspires them to make life
noble, sweet and sublime. They are also taught that they
should respect others' ways of worship and prayers. They should be good, helpful
and noble in their conduct towards all, irrespective of their caste, creed or
colour.
As it stands today, every Religion has 3 aspects:
a)
Relationship between man and God
b)
Relationship between man and other persons of the same Religion
c) Relationship between man and
persons of other Religions.
Reason-wise,
both Islam and Christianity are very weak, but in aggressiveness, both of them
are very strong; they do not tolerate any questions. Both Islam and Christianity have the following Common Beliefs:
i)
God
is jealous. Worship of God in the form of an Idol or any other Symbol like Sun,
Moon, Stars, Earth, Ocean, Rivers, etc. is equivalent to worshipping somebody
other than the One God. This arouses jealousy of the One God who inflicts severe
punishment for this type of worship. Hindus who worship God in many forms
including Nature, are the worst offenders according to Christianity and
Mohammedanism. Hindus are called Heathens, Pagans, Condemned ones, infidels,
idolaters, Kaffirs, etc., deserving severe punishment, torture and
extermination wherever possible.
ii)
Christians
and Muslims have both entered into Covenants with God, by which each religious community
has received an Exclusive, Irrevocable Power of Attorney from God that its way
of worship alone is right, that after death they alone will go to Heaven,
others will go to Hell. Of course, the way of worship by Christians is
different from that of Muslims. However, both communities claim Exclusive
Rights. Believers of Islam become Non-Believers for Christianity and
vice-versa.
iii)
This
Heaven for Believers is eternal, and the Hell for Non-Believers is also
eternal. Once in Heaven, their enjoyments are eternal; once in Hell, others' sufferings
are also eternal.
iv)
There
will come a Day of Judgement when all the dead ones will rise and stand before
God to get the verdict of either Eternal Heaven or Eternal Hell.
In addition to
their Common Beliefs, the Christians and Muslims have also their own special
Beliefs. Some of those are outlined below:
Special Beliefs
of Christianity
i)
Birth
by routine sex relationship between husband and wife is a sin. As such, we
common people are all sinners. Jesus Christ was born to Virgin Mary, without
routine sexual relationship; hence his birth is free from sin.
ii)
Jesus
Christ is SON of God. Jesus is the Only Son of God; God has no other Son, nor
shall he have any other son or daughter. Hence, Christ is the only way of
communication with God.
iii)
Jesus
rose to life a few days after his Death on the Cross. This Resurrection is a
proof of His Divinity.
iv)
Through
crucification, Jesus has paid for the redemption of all sins of all his
followers (Christians), at all places, for all time to come. Hence, Jesus is
the right and sure way for human salvation.
v)
Jesus
has given all Authority to the Church. What Church commands is the LAW for the
human race, both on Earth and in Heaven; no one should question it. Any
deviation from the command of the Church is violation of God's Law and hence
punishable, as per by God's Decree. Church is the only authority in respect of
Spiritual and Secular matters of human beings. All other Rules of conduct are
the violation of Divine God's Command.
vi)
Jesus
is the Way, the only Way, to reach God.
vii)
Those
who Believe in Jesus as the only Way are assured of eternal paradise of
pleasure after death; others are condemned persons on this Earth, who will go
to eternal hell of fire after death. As such, the human race has been divided
into two classes of "Holy Believers" and "Unholy Others";
Holy Christians, Unholy Non-Christians.
viii)
It
is the spiritual, religious duty of the Christian Church and of every
individual Christian to convert others to Christianity. Through this
conversion, they are doing good to every non-Christian in as much as they are
taking him out of false religion and false ways of worship to the only true
religion (Christianity); they are saving the condemned unholy person and
bringing him into the holy group of Christians, under the protection of
the Shepherd Christ and his Authorised Agency (Christian Church).
ix) Idol-worship
or Symbol-worship including worship of Sun, Moon, Stars, etc. particularly of
Non-Christian idols/Symbols, is un-acceptable to Jealous God; Such worship
annoys Jealous God and he sends his severe punishment for such worship.
x)
The
Holy Bible is the Word of God, to be obeyed by all, without question.
Special Beliefs
of Mohammedanism
i)
There
is no Power other than Allah. Prophet Mohammed is His Representative/Messenger
on the Earth.
ii)
Allah
gave this Earth to Prophet Mohammed; the latter gave this Earth to Mohammedans.
As such, the whole Earth legitimately belongs to Mohammedans. If others are to
live on this Earth, they have to live as Mohammedans or as willing
sub-ordinates (Dhimmis) to Mohammedans, paying Jizya Tax till they get
converted to Mohammedanism.
iii)
Allah
revealed all His Laws of correct conduct through Prophet Mohammed; his is the
correct conduct in all respects-sitting, standing, eating, drinking, dressing,
sexing, fighting, taking, giving, etc. He has been the ideal representative of
Allah, the best and last of Allah's Prophets; there can be no Allah's Prophet
after him; anyone claiming to be a Prophet after Mohammed is a hoax; followers
of such a hoax prophet deserve extreme punishment and even extermination from
this Earth.
iv)
The
Laws of correct conduct spoken and practised by Prophet Mohammed form the Laws
of SHARIAT. This Shariat is the Divine Law of life on this Earth. All other laws
of conduct enunciated by any other person or group of persons on this
Earth are invalid unless they are perfectly inline with Shariat. Any civil,
moral, criminal or economic law, not in line with Shariat, is an unjust, immoral
and tyrannical law which has to be removed from the surface of the Earth;
to remove this type of injustice and tyranny from this Earth is the bounden
religious duty of every Mohammedan. As such, no government other than
Mohammedan government, functioning strictly under Shariat Law, is a legitimate
government; other governments have to be abolished; there is no other option
for a Mohammedan; he cannot live under the rule of any other law, wherever he
may be living on this Earth.
v)
To
establish Mohammedanism and Shariat Law in every part of this Earth,
Mohammedans have to follow, individually and collectively, the following three
stages of struggle (Jihad):
a)
Persuasion
and quiet pressurization.
b)
TERRORISM:
This should create a sort of TERROR in the minds of non-Mohammedans, that
sooner or later, they have got to become Mohammedans; the sooner they adopt
this as their own religion, the better it is for them; otherwise, nothing is
safe for them -their limbs, their life, wife, family, friends, property, land,
etc. When such TERROR is created and established in the minds of
non-Mohammedans, the latter shall have no psychological will to fight a pitched
battle or military war against Mohammedans. Even if a pitched battle or military
war is organised by non-Mohammedans, their defeat is assured because they have
been terrorised to lose self-confidence; within their minds they feel frightening
diffidence, to fight.
c)
Pitched
Battle/Military War: The psychologically weakened, emaciated and demoralized
military force of non-Mohammedans cannot face the Mohammedan force which
believes that it is fighting for the cause of Allah, for establishing His
religion and His Law of Shariat on this Earth; Allah is Great
(Allah-O-Akbar).
vi)
This
three-stage struggle (Jihad) to establish Mohammedan religion and Law of
Shariat on this Earth is a religious obligation for every Mohammedan; to relax
on this front is tantamount to dis-obedience of the Command of Allah; the obedient
ones will have all the fruits of Jihad: global empire, wealth, and access to
all enjoyments. Should a Mohammedan die in this God's war against
non-Mohammedans, he will be greeted by beautiful Hoories at the gates of
Heaven; even beautiful handsome boys will be available to the Mohammedan for
his enjoyment in the gardens of Heaven; he can sit there reclining against soft
cushions, the Hoories will come to him with glasses of wine which does not
create intoxication; the Hoories chasten chanting glances at the reclining
Mohammedan and he enjoys infinite happiness in the company of handsome Hoories
and beautiful boys; the Mohammedan does not grow weak or old at all in that
Heaven; eternal enjoyment in that company is the fruit he has legitimately
earned through living and dying in the cause of Allah, the cause of His
religion of Mohammedanism on the Earth.
vii)
On
this Earth, Mohammedans form community and community laws of their own, as per
the Law of Shariat; all other laws are unjust and tyrannical and hence invalid
for them; they have the divine right to disobey all such laws. For them,
political boundaries have no meaning; those boundaries are made by man, not by
Allah. The all-powerful Allah has validated only one community – the Mohammedan
community; one country-the Earth; one loyalty -loyalty to the Holy Prophet
Mohammed; one valid Law-the Law of Shariat. A Mohammedan belongs to only one
nationality-Mohammed's nationality; his allegiance is to only one land-the Holy
Mecca. Every piece of land under Mohammedan rule and under the Law of Shariat
is a land of justice and peace for him; every other piece of land is a land of
tyranny for him where he has to wage a war of Jihad and Sabotage for
establishing Mohammedanism. If a Mohammedan is taking his food and hears a call
from Mohammedans outside in a street-quarrel, he has to leave his food and rush
outside to join his Mohammedan brothers.
viii)
When
all other rules and rulers are removed from the surface of the Earth and
replaced by the Mohammedan ruler under the Law of Shariat, then there will be
total peace and justice on this Earth. As such, the Mohammedans are working
only for Peace; Mohammedanism is "Peace and Justice". It is for this
that they are fighting; the second name for Mohammedanism is PEACE. Mohammedans
want to establish this PEACE on this earth. They cannot rest until this type of
PEACE is established.
ix)
About
one hundred years back, in most literature and in spoken language, the religion
propagated by Holy Prophet Mohammed was called Mohammedanism and his followers were
called Mohammedans; the words Islam and Muslims were not common. To give
greater legitimacy and acceptability to this system, the words
"Islam" and" Muslims" were made to become more common in
usage; it is not a religion given by Prophet Mohammed; this religion already
existed with Allah and it prevailed in Allah's Heaven; Prophet Mohammed only
brought it down from Heaven to this Earth. Religion prevailing in the Heaven of
Allah was and is ISLAM and its followers are MUSLIMS.
The
weakness of these Christian and Mohammedan Beliefs is very obvious, but who is
to question? These Beliefs, without open-ness to reasoning, have led to cruelty
and wars. As Prof. Radhakrishnan, late President of India, said in his Book
"Hindu View of Life" (Unwin Books, 1960, 92 pages) as follows:
a)"Hinduism
is wholly free from the strange obsession of some faiths that the
acceptance of a particular religious metaphysic is necessary for salvation, and
non-acceptance thereof is heinous sin meriting eternal punishment in hell"
(page 28).
b)"Heresy-hunting,
the favorite game of many religions, is singularly absent from Hinduism"
(page 28).
c)"The
intolerance of narrow monotheism is written in letters of blood across the
history of man from the time when first the tribes of Israel burst into the
land of Canaan. The worshippers of the one jealous God are egged on to
aggressive wars against people of alien cults. They invoke divine sanction for
the cruelties inflicted on the conquered. The spirit of old Israel is inherited
by Christianity and Islam (page 40).
d)"Wars
of religion which are the outcome of fanaticism that prompts and justifies the extermination
of aliens of different creeds were practically unknown in Hindu India (Page 40)
e)"Hinduism
insists not on religious conformity but on a spiritual and ethical outlook in
life". (Page 55)
(Can
anyone call Prof. Radhakrishnan an Ignorant HINDU COMMUNALIST? He was a learned
and knowledgeable person; we must listen to what he has written).
For the study of religions one should not go through
second-hand or third-hand opinions and writings of different persons, however
great they may be considered to be. There are standard English editions of the Holy Bible
which are available anywhere in the world. For standard English translation of
the Holy Quran, the following books are useful: a) Oxford University Press
Publication: "The Koran" byA.J.Arberry b) 50 Volumes of the Sacred
Books of the East, Edited by Max Muller, first published by Oxford University
Press in 1900, now published in India by Motilal Banarsidas, under sponsorship
of UNESCO; Volumes 6 & 9 of these Sacred Books deal with Holy Quran. c) The
Holy Quran with Arabic Text and English translation by Marmaduke Pickthal,
published by Kitab Bhawan, 1214, Kalan Mahal, Daryaganj, New Delhi - 110001. All
the 3 translations of the Holy Quran tell us the same thing.
In respect of aspect 'c' of
Religion (relationship between man and persons of other Religions), Islam and
Christianity do not teach respect or even tolerance for the followers or
worship-methods of other Religion. In simple language, they teach hatred
and war against followers of other Religions, particularly against followers of
Hindu religion. They teach that people of other religions are condemned and
wretched ones whose Religions have to be destroyed and removed from the surface
of the earth, who have got to be converted out of their religions by any means,
even by slaughtering them, if necessary. Note here that criticism of these religions does not mean condemnation of all their followers. Most Muslims and Christians make good citizens. A large number of Christians have softened down and largely abandoned out-dated childish beliefs, and generally ended forced conversions, but still there are many missionaries who are wedded to these beliefs and trying their best to convert, genuinely thinking that they are saving others (particularly Hindus) from the Fire of Hell after death, and showing them the only 'true path' of Jesus. Most Muslims make good citizens, but either condone acts of violence or themselves commit such acts when their religion is invoked by the clergy.
We
have to judge any Religion, not by what is done or proclaimed by a few
individuals of that community, here and there.There will always be individuals
in every religious community who would be noble or ignoble in their conduct. We
should not be hasty in speaking about other religions in terms of the noble
or ignoble conduct of a few persons of a community here and there.We should
rather go by the following criteria:
i)
Basic teachings of the Holy Quran in respect of Islam and the basic teachings
of the Holy Bible in respect of Christianity. ii) The past histories of
these Religions-Islam andChristianity iii)
The recent and current histories of Islam and Christianity.
Very few
books are available in India on the havoc done by Christian Church in the
world. Now, the Holy Pope (John Paul II) is going around "apologising" for horrible
crimes of Christian Church against humanity in the past. Quite a few
books on history of Christian Church and even on the history of Islam from outside
India reveal this. By and large, 24 volumes of Encyclopaedia Britannica are also quite
useful in studying the horrors of the Christian Church. They tell how, they
physically tortured, murdered and burnt alive those who disagreed with the
Doctrine of the Church; how they battered to death their babies, looted their houses
and raped their women in the presence of helpless men as prescribed in the Holy
Bible (Isaiah 13; 15-16). Among other brutal crimes, they also destroyed
Hindu religion in Eastern-Europe
by destroying Hindu Temples and Hindu Libraries. Infact, Islam learnt these
horrible things from the Christian Church.
The current violence and
secessionist movements of the locals in North-East India (Meghalaya, Mizoram,
Tripura, etc.) are the results of the work of the Christian Church. The violence
and terrorism which brought Partition of India in 1947 is the work of Islam as
taught in the Holy Quran. The Church-men and Muslims are following the
teachings of the Holy Bible and the Holy Quran respectively. The Sermon on the
Mount in the Old Testament and Christ's Message of love and turning of the
other cheek in the New Testament are used mostly for show and for trapping the
people inside Christianity. There are other teachings in the Holy Bible, which
teach hatred and war against non-Christians. The Church follows those teachings
of hatred and war in action while it preaches love and peace from its pulpit.
Their methods are very complex and secretive. Only a careful study of their
actions will reveal the truth. External appearance of the church can be very deceptive.
An eminent elderly scholar who is now 92 (born in 1922) and a retired UN official undertook this study and got his head cleared up, leaving no doubt in his mind
about the criminal activities in which the Church had been engaged during the
last full seventeen centuries, to spread Christianity throughout the world. The
Church had been the supporter of Western Colonialism and exploitation
throughout the world. Presently, in addition to Army, Navy and Air Force as three
armed Forces, the Western Colonial Powers use the Christian Church also as a
formidable Fourth Force acting in every country of the world; to re-establish
Western Colonialism in one form or the other. The Church derives the
inspiration and justification for its activities from the Holy Bible. A few
sample Quotations from the Holy Bible are given later. The Jesuit
Missionaries who took to educational and social service activities after 1525
AD, to establish Pope's Absolute Dictatorial Authority on Earth, under
inspiration from St. Loyola, have had to take an oath known as 'Jesuit Oath'
given in another place.
It
was available in earlier Christian literature and now is available on Internet
also.
That oath prescribes TERROR, VIOLENCE, and DECEPTION; it has been the source of
crime against humanity and of terrible Christian wars on the Earth. If this
Internet home-page put up by some Christian organizations is wrong and
malafide, the Vatican can legally contest and have it removed from the
Internet. It cannot. The Oath is well-documented. One can see it on Internet
even today. In practice, almost all the denominations
of the Christian Church follow the methods enunciated in this “Jesuit Oath"
for converting people to Christianity.
In
this respect, Islam has played less of Hide-and-Seek Game. Islam has been
more Honest and Straightforward:"Accept Islam or die; you can also live as
a slave (Dhimmi) of Muslims in the first instance till you get converted. If, however,
you persist in not getting converted to Islam, then be prepared to lose your
limb, your life, wife, children and everything."
Elsewhere are given some sample
quotations from the Holy Quran. Every follower of Islam has to join the
"Islamic Jihad " at every stage of his life. Jihad is Islamic
struggle to firmly establish Islam on every bit of Earth's surface, to the
exclusion of all other religions, particularly Hindu religion which is referred
to as religion of the Idolaters, Pagans or Kaffirs. This is clearly explained
in the Book "Quranic Concept of War" by Brig. S.K.Malik of Pakistan with
Foreword written by Military Dictator Gen. Zia-Ul-Haq (Gen. Mushraff of
Pakistan has now taken over the Military Dictatorship in Pakistan). This Book
was published in Lahore (Pakistan) and is reprinted (1986) by Himalayan
Books,17-L, Connaught Circus, New Delhi-110001 (India).TERRORISM is an
important component of this Jihad. Some quotations from this Book of Brig. S.K.
Malik are given in another place here.
