Kool tht you can go on with the discussions tht hw every religion is flawed tht sounds like you r some sort of geek in comparative religion , i asked you 1 reference and you were not able to give. You can come back again when u hv proper knowledge abt the religion and we dont give a shit whether do you want religion or knowledge.You hv ur life and you can pretty much live with it and dont try an imposed your fake ideology.

P.S:.There is not a single revelation in Quran that is against the established science(i dont know abt the other religions).It has revealed everthing from BIG BANG To Black Hole and yes Aliens too.Here is the ex:

The creation of the universe is explained by astrophysicists as a widely accepted phenomenon,popularly known as ‘The Big Bang’. It is supported by observational and experimental data gathered by astronomers and astrophysicists for decades.According to ‘The Big Bang’, the whole universe was
initially one big mass (Primary Nebula). Then there was a ‘Big Bang’ (Secondary Separation) which resulted in the formation of Galaxies. These then
divided to form stars, planets, the sun, the moon,etc. The origin of the universe was unique and the probability of it happening by ‘chance’ is nil.
The Qur’an contains the following verse regarding
the origin of the universe:

“Do not the Unbelievers see
that the heavens and the earth
were joined together (as one
unit of Creation), before
We clove them asunder?”
[Al-Qu’ran 21:30]
The striking similarity between the Qur’anic verse and ‘The Big Bang’ is inescapable! How could a book,which first appeared in the deserts of Arabia 1400
years ago, contain this profound scientific truth?
Scientists agree that before the galaxies in the universe were formed, celestial matter was initially in the form of gaseous matter. In short,huge gaseous matter or clouds were present before the formation of the galaxies. To describe initial celestial matter, the word ‘smoke’ is more appropriate than gas. The following Qur’anic verse refers to this state of the universe by the word dukhaan which means smoke.
“Moreover, He Comprehended
in His design the sky,
and it had been (as) smoke:

He said to it and to the earth:
‘Come ye together,
willingly or unwillingly.’
They said: ‘We do come (together),
in willing obedience.’”
[Al-Qur’an 41:11]

Again, this fact is a corollary to the ‘Big Bang’ and was not known to anyone before the prophetehood of Muhammad (Peace be upon him). What then, could
have been the source of this knowledge?
According to the famous physicist and Nobel Prize
winner, Albert Einstein, “Science without religion is
lame. Religion without science is blind.”
See bro, I'm in no mood to prove Quran is unscientific/scientific.
If you know the Yajurveda said Prophet is a great person.

Its UNDENIABLE that he was a extremely influencial and great person, that doesnt makes his teachings flawless period.

Its a matter of lame how you percieve things, and sticking to that big bang theory, its amazing to see all over the internet people uses this example.

The fact being Chinese/Indian/Arabic/Greek/Roman are five of the worlds oldest civilisations, and should i take wonders if they says something which are scientific?

Romans did.
Greeks did.
Indians did "indo-europeans and dravidians"
Arabians did.
does that makes them flawless in everything?

The chinese invented a LOT OF THINGS, shud i jump out and say their placentae eating is justified?

Indians as in Aryans invented shit load things, infinity concept, pythagoras was done here before, binary mathematics, cosmology and a lot of other things.
does that means i'm jumping out of my seat claiming its best just becuz it invented something which greately helped the future ??

The egyptians invented a lot of things, the farao.
The maya culture and the Inkas INVENTED A HUGE IN ASTROPHYSICS, their lunar calendar is perfect till date.
does that means i'll jump and say killing of civilians the way mayas practiced is right and scientific?

Why dont you check this site a bit a small example.. answeringinfidels.com

Now dont go on saying they re interpreated wrong, i can read english.

another thing dont give me a damn what einstein said or whatever i can give you more than 10 examples what philosophers from voltaire to others said about indo-european culture.
does that mean i appreciate the ODDS of it? no never!
and i admit there are definitely certain things unpercievable in every religion, including mine.

But the core belief of my religion is you can go to mosque, go to temple , its you whos the sole one whos responsible for your life.

now dont get me 5000 years old text, what do you pervieve by conscience of yourself?do you believe in karma theory? cuz russians/germans/indians doesm. if you dont why may i know?

and another thing tell me ok?
You are Muslim first or Indian First?

Again I respect every Religion!Like every other rleigion Islam has its beauties, but sorry you cannot convince me something is perfect, when motion of atoms are not perfect how come a religion be?
The fact you would never see the flawws or dare to percieve it becuase you belong to it, and your not permitted to.
Its psycology....u can ask Medpal.
what your tought to believe when you were born, noone can change that.

You can criticise my rleigion as much as you want, cuz i know they do had a lot of flaws amidst of amazing scientific discoveries including yoga and bla bla bla.

.........We have decided to reform Saddam into a true American citizen by sentencing him to 10 yrs community service? after which time he will become s CNN newscaster because of his extensive middle east experience? because we did not find any WMD's, and we did not find Bin Laden so we thought we would attack Iraq instead?:ohyeah: :ohyeah: :ohyeah: :ohyeah:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

@troy : all religions may not be flawed, but the believers certainly are. without meaning to cause offense, remember that all religions are administered or in effect managed by humans, ordinary men. thats why we have so many problems, across the world where religion is the root. All religions preach honesty and good behavior to others, and what do we have in real life from our learned religious leaders? Any religious leader feels its his right to issue a fatwa asking for the death of someone, or declaring someone as non Muslim because they don't wear the burqa.
Heres the meat of the matter: People are sheep. They are guided by things like priests/pundits/mullahs and rabis. they are also guided by ad campaigns, tv commercials and propaganda. when people base their decisions on faith they are even bigger sheep. so if you told me a hundred years back that the quran says there was a big bang i would have said wow. but if my community leader said thats crap, then i would have agreed to that as well. :D

So today you're interpreting Quranic verses as proof of big bang. i hope your religious leaders do so as well. you never know they may call your statement blasphemy. Maybe today they agree and tomorrow they don't.

Anyway religion is about faith. you get told something - just believe it. don't confuse it with science please.
What is the objective of having a religion anyway? :D :D
how does it help? Whats the big deal?:huh: :huh: :huh:

What does it take to stop doing this ridiculous religious crap and just be a good human being, rather than a pious person who quotes from all holy scriptures but in every other way is basically a selfish self serving survivor?

No offense intended at any time to any one, and no animals were harmed when this post was written.:ohyeah: :ohyeah: :ohyeah: :ohyeah:
I agree with you, completely.

Point No.1: According to my limited knowledge of Vedas i didnot find anything abt the prophet in Yajurveda but your rt he is prophised in Vedas.

I) Muhammad (pbuh) prophesised in Bhavishya Purana

1. According to Bhavishya Purana in the Prati Sarag Parv III Khand 3 Adhay 3 Shloka 5 to 8.

"A malecha (belonging to a foreign country and speaking a foreign language) spiritual teacher will appear with his companions. His name will be Mohammad. Raja (Bhoj) after giving this Maha Dev Arab (of angelic disposition) a bath in the Panchgavya and the Ganga water (i.e. purifying him of all sins) offered him the present of his sincere devotion and showing him all reverence said, "I make obeisance to thee. O ye! The pride of mankind, the dweller in Arabia, Ye have collected a great force to kill the Devil and you yourself have been protected from the malecha opponents."

The Prophecy clearly states:

(i) The name of the Prophet as Mohammad.

(ii) He will belong to Arabia. The Sanskrit word Marusthal means a sandy track of land or a desert.

(iii) Special mention is made of the companions of the Prophet, i.e. the Sahabas. No other Prophet had as many companions as Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

(iv) He is referred as the pride of mankind (Parbatis nath). The Glorious Qur’an reconfirms this

"And thou (standest) on an exalted standard of character"

[Al-Qur'an 68:4]

"Ye have indeed in the Messenger of Allah, a beautiful pattern (of conduct)".

[Al-Qur'an 33:21]

(v) He will kill the devil, i.e. abolish idol worship and all sorts of vices.

(vi) The Prophet will be given protection against his enemy.

Some people may argue that Raja Bhoj mentioned in the prophecy lived in the 11th century C.E. 500 years after the advent of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and was the descendant in the 10th generation of Raja Shalivahan. These people fail to realise that there was not only one Raja of the name Bhoj. The Egyptian Monarchs were called as Pharaoh and the Roman Kings were known as Caesar, similarly the Indian Rajas were given the title of Bhoj. There were several Raj Bhoj who came before the one in 11th Century C.E.

The Prophet did not physically take a bath in the Panchgavya and the water of Ganges. Since the water of Ganges is considered holy, taking bath in the Ganges is an idiom, which means washing away sins or immunity from all sorts of sins. Here the prophecy implies that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was sinless, i.e. Maasoom.

2. According to Bhavishya Purana in the Pratisarag Parv III Khand 3 Adhay 3 Shloka 10 to 27 Maharishi Vyas has prophesised:

"The Malecha have spoiled the well-known land of the Arabs. Arya Dharma is not to be found in the country. Before also there appeared a misguided fiend whom I had killed; he has now again appeared being sent by a powerful enemy. To show these enemies the right path and to give them guidance, the well-known Muhammad (pbuh), is busy in bringing the Pishachas to the right path. O Raja, You need not go to the land of the foolish Pishachas, you will be purified through my kindness even where you are. At night, he of the angelic disposition, the shrewd man, in the guise of Pishacha said to Raja Bhoj, "O Raja! Your Arya Dharma has been made to prevail over all religions, but according to the commandments of Ishwar Parmatma, I shall enforce the strong creed of the meat eaters. My followers will be men circumcised, without a tail (on his head), keeping beard, creating a revolution announcing the Aadhaan (the Muslim call for prayer) and will be eating all lawful things. He will eat all sorts of animals except swine. They will not seek purification from the holy shrubs, but will be purified through warfare. On account of their fighting the irreligious nations, they will be known as Musalmaans. I shall be the originator of this religion of the meat-eating nations."

The Prophecy states that:

(i) The evil doers have corrupted the Arab land.

(ii) Arya Dharma is not found in that land.

(iii) The Indian Raja need not go the Arab land since his purification will take place in India after the musalmaan will arrive in India.

(iv) The coming Prophet will attest the truth of the Aryan faith, i.e. Monotheism and will reform the misguided people.

(v) The Prophet’s followers will be circumcised. They will be without a tail on the head and bear a beard and will create a great revolution.

(vi) They will announce the Aadhaan, i.e. ‘the Muslim call for prayer’.

(vii) He will only eat lawful things and animals but will not eat pork. The Qur’an confirms this in no less than 4 different places:

In Surah Al-Baqarah chapter 2 verse 173

In Surah Al-Maidah chapter 5 verse 3

In Surah Al-Anam chapter 6 verse 145

In Surah Al-Nahl chapter 16 verse 115

"Forbidden to you for food are dead meat, blood, flesh of swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah".

(viii) They will not purify with grass like the Hindus but by means of sword they will fight their irreligious people.

(ix) They will be called musalmaan.

(x) They will be a meat-eating nation.

The eating of herbivorous animals is confirmed by the Qur’an in Surah Maidah, chapter 5 verse 1 and in Surah Muminun chapter 23 verse 21

3. According to Bhavishya Purana, Parv - III Khand 1 Adhay 3 Shloka 21-23:

"Corruption and persecution are found in seven sacred cities of Kashi, etc. India is inhabited by Rakshas, Shabor, Bhil and other foolish people. In the land of Malechhas, the followers of the Malechha dharma (Islam) are wise and brave people. All good qualities are found in Musalmaans and all sorts of vices have accumulated in the land of the Aryas. Islam will rule in India and its islands. Having known these facts, O Muni, glorify the name of thy lord".

The Qur’an confirms this in Surah Taubah chapter 9 verse 33 and in Surah Al Saff chapter 61 verse 9:

"It is He who hath sent His Messenger with Guidance and the Religion of Truth, to proclaim it over all religion, even though the Pagans may detest (it)".

A similar message is given in Surah Fatah chapter 48 verses 28 ending with, "and enough is Allah as a witness".

II Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) Prophesised in Atharvaveda

1. In the 20th book of Atharvaveda Hymn 127 Some Suktas (chapters) are known as Kuntap Sukta. Kuntap means the consumer of misery and troubles. Thus meaning the message of peace and safety and if translated in Arabic means Islam.

Kuntap also means hidden glands in the abdomen. These mantras are called so probably because their true meaning was hidden and was to be revealed in future. Its hidden meaning is also connected with the navel or the middle point of this earth. Makkah is called the Ummul Qur’a the mother of the towns or the naval of the earth. In many revealed books it was the first house of Divine worship where God Almighty gave spiritual nourishment to the world. The Qur’an says in

Surah Ali-Imran chapter 3, verse 96:

"The first house (of worship) appointed for men was that at Bakkah (Makkah) full of blessings and of guidance and for all kinds of beings".

Thus Kuntap stands for Makkah or Bakkah.

Several people have translated these Kuntap Suktas like M. Bloomfield, Prof. Ralph Griffith, Pandit Rajaram, Pandit Khem Karan, etc.

The main points mentioned in the Kuntap Suktas i.e. in Atharvaveda book 20 Hymn 127 verses 1-13 are:

Mantra 1

He is Narashansah or the praised one (Muhammad). He is Kaurama: the prince of peace or the emigrant, who is safe, even amongst a host of 60,090 enemies.

b) Mantra 2

He is a camel-riding Rishi, whose chariot touches the heaven.

c) Mantra 3

He is Mamah Rishi who is given a hundred gold coins, ten chaplets (necklaces), three hundred good steeds and ten thousand cows.

d) Mantra 4

Vachyesv rebh. ‘Oh! ye who glorifies’.

(i) The Sanskrit word Narashansah means ‘the praised one’, which is the literal translation of the Arabic word Muhammad (pbuh).

The Sanskrit word Kaurama means ‘one who spreads and promotes peace’. The holy Prophet was the ‘Prince of Peace’ and he preached equality of human kind and universal brotherhood. Kaurama also means an emigrant. The Prophet migrated from Makkah to Madinah and was thus also an Emigrant.

(ii) He will be protected from 60,090 enemies, which was the population of Makkah. The Prophet would ride a camel. This clearly indicates that it cannot be an Indian Rishi, since it is forbidden for a Brahman to ride a camel according to the Sacred Books of the East, volume 25, Laws of Manu pg. 472. According to Manu Smirti chapter 11 verse 202, "A Brahman is prohibited from riding a camel or an ass and to bathe naked. He should purify himself by suppressing his breath".

(iii) (a) This mantra gave the Rishi's name as Mamah. No rishi in India or another Prophet had this name Mamah which is derived from Mah which means to esteem highly, or to revere, to exalt, etc. Some Sanskrit books give the Prophet’s name as ‘Mohammad’, but this word according to Sanskrit grammar can also be used in the bad sense. It is incorrect to apply grammar to an Arabic word. Actually shas the same meaning and somewhat similar pronunciation as the word Muhammad (pbuh).

(b) He is given 100 gold coins, which refers to the believers and the earlier companions of the Prophet during his turbulent Makkan life. Later on due to persecution they migrated from Makkah to Abysinia. Later when Prophet migrated to Madinah all of them joined him in Madinah.

(c) The 10 chaplets or necklaces were the 10 best companions of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) known as Ashra-Mubbashshira (10 bestowed with good news). These were foretold in this world of their salvation in the hereafter i.e. they were given the good news of entering paradise by the Prophet’s own lips and after naming each one he said "in Paradise". They were Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, Ali, Talha, Zubair, Abdur Rahman Ibn Auf, Saad bin Abi Waqqas, Saad bin Zaid and Abu Ubaidah (May Allah be well-pleased with all of them).

(d) The Sanskrit word Go is derived from Gaw which means ‘to go to war’. A cow is also called Go and is a symbol of war as well as peace. The 10,000 cows refer to the 10,000 companions who accompanied the Prophet (pbuh) when he entered Makkah during Fateh Makkah which was a unique victory in the history of mankind in which there was no blood shed. The 10,000 companions were pious and compassionate like cows and were at the same time strong and fierce and are described in the Holy Quran in Surah Fatah:

"Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; and those who are with him are strong against unbelievers, (but) compassionate amongst each other."

[Al-Qur'an 48:29]

(iv) This mantra calls the Prophet as Rebh which means one who praises, which when translated into Arabic is Ahmed, which is another name for the Holy Prophet (pbuh).

2. Battle of the Allies described in the Vedas.

It is mentioned in Atharvaveda Book XX Hymn 21 verse 6, "Lord of the truthful! These liberators drink these feats of bravery and the inspiring songs gladdened thee in the field of battle. When thou renders vanquished without fight the ten thousand opponents of the praying one, the adoring one."

(i) This Prophecy of the Veda describes the well-known battle of Ahzab or the battle of the Allies during the time of Prophet Muhammed. The Prophet was victorious without an actual conflict which is mentioned in the Qur’an in Surah Ahzab:

"When the believers saw the confederate forces they said, "This is what Allah and His Messenger had promised us and Allah and His Messenger told us what was true." And it only added to their faith and their zeal in obedience."

[Al-Qur'an 33:22]

(ii) The Sanskrit word karo in the Mantra means the ‘praying one’ which when translated

into Arabic means ‘Ahmed’, the second name of Prophet Muhammed (pbuh).

iii) The 10,000 opponents mentioned in the Mantra were the enemies of the Prophet and the Muslims were only 3000 in number.

iv) The last words of the Mantra aprati ni bashayah means the defeat was given to the enemies without an actual fight.

3. The enemies’ defeat in the conquest of Makkah is mentioned in Atharvaveda book 20 Hymn 21 verse no 9:

"You have O Indra, overthrown 20 kings and 60,099 men with an outstripping Chariot wheel who came to fight the praised one or far famed (Muhammad) orphan."

i) The population of Makkah at the time of Prophet’s advent was nearly 60,000.

ii) There were several clans in Makkah each having its own chief. Totally there were about 20 chiefs to rule the population of Makkah.

iii) An Abandhu meaning a helpless man who was far-famed and ‘praised one’. Muhammad (pbuh) overcame his enemies with the help of God.

III Muhammad (pbuh) prophesised in the Rigveda

A similar prophecy is also found in Rigveda Book I, Hymn 53 verse 9:

The Sanskrit word used is Sushrama, which means praiseworthy or well praised which in Arabic means Muhammad (pbuh).
IV Muhummad (pbuh) is also prophesised in the Samveda

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is also prophesised in the Samveda Book II Hymn 6 verse 8:

"Ahmed acquired from his Lord the knowledge of eternal law. I received light from him just as from the sun." The Prophecy confirms:

i) The name of the Prophet as Ahmed since Ahmed is an Arabic name. Many translators misunderstood it to be Ahm at hi and translated the mantra as "I alone have acquired the real wisdom of my father".

ii) Prophet was given eternal law, i.e. the Shariah.

iii) The Rishi was enlightened by the Shariah of Prophet Muhammad. The Qur’an says in Surah Saba chapter 34 verse 28

"We have not sent thee but as a universal (Messenger) to men, giving them glad tidings and warning them (against sin), but most men understand not."

[Al-Qur'an 34:28]

do you believe in karma theory? cuz russians/germans/indians doesm. if you dont why may i know?

Point No.2 Your rt everybody invented lot great things but they also hv element of flaw in their scientific knowledge and yes nobody during those peroid predictaded abt big bang/shape of the earth and etc etc there r thausands things that hv been discovered recently.We can discuss on it whole night, i m the 1 who is answering you so many questions.Now can you tell me Y West is coming to ISLAM?(civilised society their cant see flaws or wt?)

Point No.3 According to you "But the core belief of my religion is you can go to mosque, go to temple , its you whos the sole one whos responsible for your life." can you pls give reference and contex of your statements too.

Point No.4Law of Karma:Karma may be defined as the law of consequence with regard to one’s activities in the given life, which is supposed to be the driving force behind the cycle of reincarnations or rebirths. The law of Karma postulates that every individual has to pass through a series of lives, either on earth again or somewhere else, before he or she attains moksha or liberation.
According to the theory of Karma, a soul is born many times and dies many times. In each of its incarnations the person entails certain Karma, which stems from the good and evil that one performed in the previous life. Good deeds earn good Karma and allow one to be reborn into a higher caste than the previous one, consequent upon one’s Karma in the previous incarnation. As one sows, so one reaps, the only problem being that the reaping, according to Brahmanical belief, does not come until rebirth. The law of Karma is considered to conserve the moral consequences of all actions, and predetermines our present and future lives accordingly. The doctrine of reincarnation teaches that each person continues his or her lives one after another, and will do so endlessly until becoming absolved.

The doctrine claims that each person is embodied in a newly born body, lives a human life however long that body lives, and, when that body dies, reincarnates in another new body. The doctrine of Karma says that the physical, social, economic, and political conditions under which a person is embodied and lives out the given life are the conditions rendered appropriate as entitled by the person’s actions in the previous life. The two claims together yield a third: the evils that chance upon a person in a given lifetime are morally proper, being the appropriate consequences of what he or she did previously. In part, the present life is determined by the results of past deeds. We are, according to this doctrine of Karma, the effects of our own infinite past. Every child born into this world is born to live out its own past deeds. This means that everything we see is just and balanced, and the distresses we encounter are to be relished as “religious theater.” It perhaps explains why certain people are born untouchables.

The notion of Karma as a moral principle offering the inevitable consequences of human conditions provides the ideological undergirding for the existence of various Varnas (original social divisions). The idea of expiation was linked to the individual’s social fate in the societal organization and, thereby, to the caste order. All (ritual or ethical) merits and faults of the individual are recorded in a ledger of accounts; the balance irrefutably determines the fate of the soul at rebirth, and this is in exact proportion to the surplus of the one or the other side of the ledger.
The result of the belief in this theory is, perhaps, best outlined by Shri Aurobindo:
At any rate, at least nine-tenths of our freedom of will is a palpable fiction. That will is created and determined not by its own self-existent action at a given moment, but our past, our heredity, our training, the whole tremendous complex thing called Karma, which is, behind us, the whole past actions of Nature on us and the world converging in the individual, determining what he is, determining what his will shall be at a given moment and determining, as far as analyses can see, even its action at that moment.

Karma transforms the world into a strictly rational and ethically determined cosmos representing the most inconsistent theodicy ever produced in history. It also requires the strict fulfillment of caste obligation. The absence of ethical universalism leads to striving for individual salvation based on attempts to escape the cycle of rebirths. A pious low-caste individual believes that he, too, can win the world; that he can become a Kshatriya (member of the royal or warrior Hindu caste) or a Brahmin (high caste of priests) after rebirths in the same pattern. According to the doctrine, the order and rank of the castes are also eternal, as are the courses of the cosmic bodies or the difference between the animal and human species. To overthrow them would be sacrilegious. Rebirth can drag man down to the life of a “worm in the intestine of a dog,” but, according to his conduct, it might raise him and place him in the womb of a queen or a Brahmin’s daughter. Absolute prerequisites, however, are strict fulfillment of caste obligations in the given life. Since the lower castes, furthermore, had the most to win through strict ritual observances of the dictates of the upper caste, they were least tempted or dared any innovation or revolt. It is very clear that so long as the Karma doctrine remains unshaken, revolutionary ideas would be inconceivable.

Chandogya Upanishad (5:10:7) says:
Those who are of pleasant conduct here the prospect is, indeed, that they will enter a pleasant womb, either the womb of a Brahmin, or the womb of a Kshatriya, or the womb of a Vaishya (the caste of ordinaries). But those who are of perfidious conduct here the prospect is, indeed, that they will enter a contemptible womb, either the womb of a dog, or the womb of a swine or the womb of an outcast (Chandala), await for development.
This being the first reference to the theory, it was by the end of the Vedic period (500 BC), that the Brahminical system, with its hierarchical division of society, was supported ideologically both by reference in the ancient texts and by the doctrines of Karma and rebirth.
The concept of Karma has its roots in the philosophy of the Gita as well, which states that man attains spiritual perfection by worshiping God through performance of one’s own duties as postulated by the relevant scriptures (The Bhagavat Gita 18:46). Consequently the adherents strongly believe that there is no salvation except through compliance with the rules of the caste system as interpreted by the Brahmins, who alone had the authority to do that.
The comments made by M. N. Roy on the social consequences of such a belief are pertinent to be quoted here:
The caste system places different groups of people in different social status. If that system is providentially ordained, those belonging to lower status must be reconciled forever to their positions. Social inequality is, thus, perpetuated on the authority of divine will. The slave must be a slave forever! The ruling class enjoys its power and privileges as gifts of God, which only the sinful can ever dare to take away from it.

“The doctrine of Karma,” says John Gunter, “has considerable political consequences. Obviously, it embodies an extreme form of fatalism, which impedes ambition.4” Karma theory is indeed, at the root of keeping the down-trodden under perpetual bondage. The theory overlooks the fact that poverty actually is the fault of society—a society in which the greedy and the cunning exploit and rise to the top. The poor man has to accept starvation and squalor because he is underfed and has no energy to break away and create a revolution. He has to accept what life gives him, and so he says, “It is my Karma to be like this.” The rich man also resolves: “It is my Karma. I must have done good deeds in a previous life and now I am reaping the reward of my past actions.” Thus, Karma is to accept things as they are. It does not admit of revolt against tyranny; it prevents one from shaping one’s own destiny. Being fatalists, the poor in India believe that their sufferings are a punishment for the sins committed in the previous life. Submission without any demur is the only good. Indoctrination was so complete that rarely did there arise persons who entertained the idea of revolt.

Almost all the religious Brahmanical Gurus and Pujaris believed in the sanctity of "untouchability," an offshoot of the caste system. Even as recently as in 1969, Shri Shankaracharya of Jagannathpuri justified untouchability as a matter of religion, at the Vishwa Hindu sammelan held in Kashi, Banaras.
What the law of Karma originally meant was: You reap what you sow. Actually the chain of cause and effect has little to do with the chain of incarnations, which is wholly imaginary. But the perverted theory of Karma, even its psychological influence, seems to obscure conveniently the principle of social justice here and now. Discipline was instilled into Hindu minds through elementary lessons in the law of Karma. If things went wrong, one was paying for the wrongs done in the past life. If one prospered, one was reaping the fruits of good deeds performed previously. The law of Karma gave one the feeling that yesterday is linked with today, even as today with tomorrow, in a never ending cycle. To the believers in reincarnation, the paths of life are penal, not remedial, every human soul animating in succession eighty-four lakhs bodies—the bodies of other human beings, beasts, birds, fish, plants, or the like. This weary but endless ordeal of the cycle of births fills the mind of a believer with the greatest horror.

The doctrine of Karma has some anti-social implications. It does not take into account the influence of the social forces regarding one’s present predicament. Consequently, this outlook begets a sort of indifference to the suffering of other people because the suffering of each one, whether of oneself or of others, is interpreted in terms of the actions in the past life. This outlook makes an individual disregardful or helpless regarding his own situation and unhelpful regarding the situations of other people. When no visible way is present to better their life, the people tend to become fatalistic, stick to their existing traditional norms, and lose the will to learn anything new, thus putting to no avail, if not disuse, the great human virtue of creativity.
The process of procreation demands gender difference. One may ascribe one’s present difference from another human being to some cause of one’s previous life, but where were the actions which caused the difference of sex in the first pair, whence these multitudes have sprung? Difference in sonhood and fatherhood is another sequence which must have existed even at the beginning of life. How are we to explain these differences when there was no previous life and consequently no previous action?

Our bad habits, according to the theory of Karma, have come to us as the fruit of some past actions. They cannot be undone, and all our efforts to undo them will be in vain. If I committed some wrongs in a previous life, I must, therefore, suffer their consequences in the present life, and all my efforts to be free from them are simply to belie that theory. If A receives some injury from B, it is, as the concept of Karma says, to make up for some injury received by B, from A in his previous existence. Thus, offense becomes a justification in the eyes of the culprit! One need not be thankful to one’s benefactors, because one receives from them what one had given them in charity in the past life. When every act of man—of wickedness and corruption, of kindness and love, and so on—is forced to be regarded as inevitably consequential and inalienable, societal and social laws and their enforcement are sure to become the whims of those who wield the authority. The theory is thus, indeed, most unfavorable to our moral growth.

The position of the untouchables, the Dalits and the Bahujans, were based on a concocted philosophy and a diabolical theology. The doctrine of Karma was cunningly formulated to canonize inequality of man from birth to death and even afterwards. The mindset of the poor, the ignorant, and the downtrodden was entrapped without an escape route. The concept of human rights was non-existent and its practice could never be dreamt of in such a socio-religious order. The entire contraption was perfected with such philosophical verbiage that, while confounding the mind of the common man, it never lets him get out of it. The human psyche became a victim of contradictions, and caste supremacy was made sacrosanct beyond the powers of civil society and state-made laws.
In short, the doctrine of Karma was deliberately employed as a subtle but powerful instrument for justifying and perpetuating inequality and exploitation. It has inflicted the single biggest blow on the Indian social fabric. In one stroke, the people have been told that however much they try to better their lot in this birth, they cannot help it because of the accumulated sins of the past. So it is better to resign to the fate and suffer in expiation, for it is the way out! No wonder the slaves enjoy their slavery with this belief.

A careful examination proves that the social implications of the doctrine of rebirth of the soul is an absurd phenomenon. A human being, according to the concept of Karma, might have been an animal in a previous form. Naturally, an animal that was a human being might have committed some evil deeds. This creates a vicious circle. The advocates of this belief cannot settle any form for the first creature, for every generation implies a preceding generation so that the succeeding generation may be considered as the consequence of the former. This, in simple words, is quite absurd.
Karma: A Qur’anic Appraisal
According to Islam the soul remains with the human body throughout the life and departs at death. When separated from the human body, the soul enters the realm of Barzakh, which is the period between one’s death and the Final Judgment. The Qur’an teaches that God is responsible to see that every being gets its due right and that injustice will not go unpunished.

Indeed, belief in the life hereafter is very important in the doctrinal foundation of Islam. In the Qur’an it has been mentioned at numerous places conjoined with the belief in God (see for example 9:44–45, 4:59, 9:99, 2:228). The evil consequences of the disbelief in the life hereafter are far-reaching in so far as they deprive human beings of genuine success in this life. The Qur’an puts forth detailed arguments and evidence in favor of life hereafter (see 85:36–40, 50:9–15, 45:24–26). Cloning provides an irrefutable proof of the claim of resurrection. The possibility of developing the same entity from a single surviving preserved cell or part has been proved by cloning experiments. The process of creation through a single cell is common knowledge for us, as we are all born in this way. Similar would be the creation of human beings on the Day of Resurrection, the Qur’an says (56:62).
The earthly life becomes meaningless if it is not followed by another life where reward or punishment is given to individuals on the basis of the deeds performed by them in their terrestrial life. God being absolutely Just, His justice makes it imperative that those who spent their lives obeying His guidance must not be treated like those who have gone astray. Concerning the soul after death, the Qur’an and the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad mention nothing except that the soul remains after death either living in ease and comfort or in torment (3:169–170).
In awe-inspiring language, the Qur’an sketches over and again the events of the Last Day. At a point in time this world will be brought to an end in a terrifying cosmic cataclysm, frightful beyond imagination, and all people, past and present, will then stand before God—each one as totally alone and helpless as he or she came into the world—to render their accounts (80:33–42, 84:1–19). Those who denied God and rejected His guidance will long for another chance to return to the world to live their lives in obeisance in the light of their present knowledge of Reality, but they will be too late (Qur’an 43:74–76, 46:34).

The Qur’an asserts that the present life is but a minute part of the totality of existence. For God is able to transform His creations from one state of being to another (see Qur’an 41:39, 36:77–79). The belief in the life hereafter is grounded in the Qur’anic teaching that the world is a moral order, wherein every action of man, however insignificant, is accountable and must meet its reward or punishment (50:16–18, 36:12, 17:13–14, 13:9–11, 82:9–12). The good and evil fruits of human deeds become manifest in accordance with the limitations of man’s earthly life, even in this world (92:4–10). However, it is on the Day of Judgment in the life hereafter that every human action, however insignificant it might appear to us, will meet its full and complete recompense (99:1–8). On that Day, the virtuous will be more than fully rewarded for their righteous life (2:212).

Unlike the concept of Karma theory, the Islamic belief in the life after death does not dissuade man from striving for a polity based on socio-economic justice. On the other hand, it persuades a Muslim to harness all intellectual and physical endeavors in the cause of advancement of justice (4:58, 4:135, 5:8, 38:26).
A Qur’anic verse (28:4) describes Pharaoh’s lust for power and superiority and his claim to divinity which led him to treat others as slaves. The policy of discrimination had divided them into mutually conflicting groups. Like Brahminism, Pharaoh also had humiliated the majority of his people by such hierarchic division of power. The Qur’an mentions him as mufsid (one who corrupts): [Assuredly, We have created man with the best traits (having the goodliest nature)] (95:4). This verse establishes the essential goodness of human nature in contradistinction to the ideational culture that man is born neither with any stigma of sin nor with the fettering chains of reincarnation; and it proves human competence for pursuing good successfully and fighting evil on individual, collective, and social levels.

Point No. 5:You are Muslim first or Indian First?

Division among the land is created by Man and not by God, They devide the land and then they faught for it..

P.S:. The therory of karma mentioned above is only my point of view and X86 i m not trying to convinse you anything you stop pointing things and i'll stop responding to it
 
WTH is wrong with this guy...
seems like one of those fanatics...

Lot of guys got death penalties along with saddam...their information minister got away didnt he....
 
I dont want to go in articles it will CONTINUE FOR PAGES.NO USE.ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO CONVINCE SOMEONE.
I GO BY MY OWN CONSCIENCE.

ABOUT
"About the core belief of my religion is you can go to mosque, go to temple , its you whos the sole one whos responsible for your life."
go here http://www.hinduwebsite.com/hinduwayoflife.asp

those purans may go to hell, we dont go by that we go by the fact "we are the one responsible for our lives".

You can ask anyone!!!!! if i'm wrong, reference yes hold on.

see nothing is perfect period!

Tell me "ARE YOU A MUSLIM FIRST OR INDIAN FIRST" no god/hell/demon/kali/jesus/prophet comes here just tell whats your first identity?
INDIAN OR MUSLIM?


Another point YOU COMPLETELY OVERLOOKED THE ARTICLE I GAVE LINK AND STARTED QOUTING VERSES FROM SANSKRIT HOW GREAT PROPHET WAS"which i didnt wanted to hear".Why dont you interpret it if it was so perfect?
he was a great man again i'll say but by no means the perfect.

hell, jesus wasnt perfect either!

just as a lot of guys around your suffering from a Psychology known as belief persistence
another thing,

See, Big Bang isnt even a perfect theory, the americans invented a lot of thing in 20th century without which THE WORLD WOULD CEASE TO EXIST.They have biggest contributions to human medicines and stuffs. does that HELL MEANS i'd keep ranting on a big bang that prophet said?
its amazing to see the fanaticm your expressing and sticking with one point oh boy we said this noe one did its perfect its god blah lah blah.

The biggest contribution if any is the invention of medicine and diff kinds of vaccines, check your life u might had taken some injections when you were born "like we all did", those kept you alive from the germs and when u grew up u learned quran.
respect Human civilization, IT HAS GIVEN US MORE THAN ANY GOD.

I'll tell you only one thing,
smoke and gaseos form are no the same. Smoke is the result of combustion (transmutation), while gas is the result of sublimation.

do u think shariat is acceptable?
 
lol ... u guys are seriosuly ...... anyways ... i am not defending US. but i gues someonewas not right criticizing past american presidents . . .. .. . .. . . more than me supporting america there are half engg. on this forum who eventually have dreams to get a big job in america. and i guess some of them are even writing against US in this thread itslef. ..

i only know one thing where there is power , law is thier favour.. this is basic rule all over eveyplace in earth... so today US has powers and i can say guts ... even though iraq is fragile and many contires can attact it but none doing so .. cos .. talking is something and action is something... US belive in action not talking. .. simple...
 
Blaming god for your actions is not justified,

Its like you jacking off, and saying god wanted me to attain salvation.

What we do, it directly and indirectly benefits us.

U.S Wanted cheap Oil to power its country, thats the bottom line.

Saddam was a sheepgoat Bush wanted,

Freedom of iraqi people is totally their matter, and interfearing in day to day functioning of another country government its not the call of the day.

I STILL SAY, SADDAM WAS NOT GIVEN JUSTICE.

SELF DEFENCE IS NOT A CRIME.
 
....
Are you saying that what happens is not gods will? So that if tomorrow you were dying, and you tried your best not to, but still died, it was not gods will working there?

Or are you saying that with your actions you can make something happen that god did not want to happen?

Or is it like a multiple choice question, where gods will is one of the choices, but then you get to decide.

------------------------------------------

regarding the other part, what do you mean by "self defense is not a crime"

I fail to understand whether you're a US hater or a Saddam fan.

Are you conveniently forgetting that it was Saddam who invaded Kuwait for the sake of oil?

Whats the big difference between Saddam's actions in Kuwait at that time and US action in Iraq now?

And who in Iraq is going to care about his going? Will the ordinary Iraqi care?

don't forget that if we were in Saddam's Iraq now, Discussions like this thread would not be safe for anyone involved with this thread. thats the kind of country he made.

Are you defending this person? USA may be whatever, but that doesn't make Saddam some kind of war hero.
He had to go one day. all dictators have to go. USA just speeded it up.
And nobody will be thankful to the US for that , but nobodies being sorry for his going either.
You see if he wanted to avoid the war, He could have allowed UN inspectors and US inspectors to come and inspect and convince them that there were no WMD. He could have stepped down, called for iraq's first general election. But no.

He didn't.

Who would have voted for him?

I am sure he understood that if he was gone USA would not invade they wanted his ass thats all.

So he went to war rather than step down.

The best part is that he came to power with USA/CIA support. He was their baby who turned against them. look it up of you want. The CIA brought him to power.

You can cry all you want, but he deserves what hes getting.

USA good or bad is another matter.
 
DYING.... Its not gods wish,

Its the basis rule, what starts will end,

What goes up will come down.

3rd Law

EVERY ACTIONS HAS EQUAL AND OPPOSITE REACTION

Tomorrow we go to war with one of our neighbours and some other country is supplying arms to it, will that make it our friend.

War in the NAME OF safety is a CRIME.

SADDAM would have gotten a punishment,

Dont forget when Russia went to war with Afganistan, it was the Americans supplying Arms to the Afganis,

U.S I think is not a democratic nation, its more of a Manipulating Nation

I agree no nations is perfect, we should make it a better one

^^

And who in Iraq is going to care about his going? Will the ordinary Iraqi care?

LOL! People care thats why there are still insurgents and continous bombing.

You are forgetting the NUDE PRISON PICS OF U.S DETENSION CAMP

POWER BLINDS MAN......

Americans are raping the young daughters of Iraq, in day light please read news.... google for it.....

You are forgetting the NUDE PRISON PICS OF U.S DETENSION CAMP

whats that got to do with saddam hanging?

I agree no nations is perfect, we should make it a better one

Well if you really want to do that, don't you think you should start here?

either way this talk is about whether Saddam should be hanged. Not if US is good or bad, or if Iraq is perfect or not.

Its about whether a murdering dicatator should be hanged or not.

Isn't that the title of the thread?

BANG ON TARGET, agree absolutely.
Saddam might be guilty, but he deserved a better trian nt a predestined trial.
dieing with honor is less painful than dieing with the thoughts of not having justice.

however the last two lines raping stuffs is really bad and if u ever in the army u'll know things like that happens due to frustation and stuffs.

again army is a professional force, needs to be punished for any such incidents but if you go by psycology every army in this world have such incidents happening.

Siggy

At a jet plane's speed of 1,000 km (620mi) per hour, the length of the plane becomes one atom shorter than its original length - IAF

How did they measure that :P
 
Yes that is there, a googling will get you there.

But i got that from somewhere else, you can say i work from kremlin to delhi ;).

I aint kiddin :P

lol wts wrong with you m8 are determined for tug of war with me:bleh: we all know hw smart you u r no need to prove it here.
 
basically see what happens, its kinda hypothetical.
As in normal case a aircraft without use of afterburners cannot sustain a speed over mach 1+.

If it sustains it is called as supercruise, which means with normal use of fuel your cruising over mach 1 speed without any afterburners.
Now 5th generation fighters comes under supercruising ability.

currently
indias Su30MKI
US f18/F15E
Eurofighter Typhoon
Dassault Rafale
Indian LCA
Chinese J10
Jas Gripen

these are all fourth generation fighters with no supercruise ability as the drag weight when with weapons load is a lot , though some can supercruise under clean configuration.

fifth generation plane
Americas F22 Raptor > final stages of developement.
Americas designed for australia/britain JSF F35 which has low performance than F22

Indo-Russian PAKFA " years from a prototype to fly"
Possible Joint venture Indian Hal-Mig MCA "7 to 10 years from a prototype to fly"

Diff between fifth and 4th gen planes
1> reduced RCS signature
2> Stealth
3> Internal weapons load for maximise stealth.
some situational awareness but a MKI india has can do that easily acting as a mini awacs BVR screen.
nothing much else :)

normally supercruise isnt of much needed, except when your intercepting over pacific, then it might be required but with inflight refuelling capabilities its kinda useless.
No other current 5th gen exists, the world is only going for 4.5th gen rafale"french" and typhoon which r not even yet developed.

F22 induction will start from 2010 i guess..
