Imi: Have it ever occured to you that things are their with correct intention but something goes wrong during time and process .Just like"DEMOCRACY " for Nepal.:) The 90's democracy was good .Wasn't it .How did we interpret it .Infact how did nepali janta and people used it?????? Caste system is not the root teachings of hinduism. Caste system not only exist in out culture but also in many other civilization from Africa to Europe. felicity: Imi... similarly, killing ppl and fighting is not the ROOT teaching of Islam.Islam allows and encourages use of force to deal with evil. However it does not make innocent non-believers as target of that force. In Islam ...It is considerd a crime to fight a person without any arms ( as in astra-sastra)....Quranic phrases that many of you refer to calling for killing infedals (or kafirs as been put) are quoted out of context. These instructions in Quran were given for specific battles and only for those events'. So...why .. only this issue is blown so our of proportion that a born hindu... ME...can not even try to enrich my knowledge about Islam? I mean...com on... ever since i wrote that I am studying islam... wow.. I am inundated with responses. But.... I am absolutely loving it..... coz.... along the line... you all are teaching me more things/// Thanks for the enlightment
