Well guys I have already left Sajha, but thought to share something important before farewell. Today world is divided by hatred. People see the world only from their own point of view which is dressed with the culture and tradition they are raised in and the limited knowledge they have. Such view prevents them seeing the real truth and they use their life and energy to prove other to be wrong. The entire world is suffered with such a defect of vision. You can not win other with force and accusation. To win you have to win hearts and that will happen only if you are convincing and rational. This is the problem of today's world and world leaders. If you want to transform conservative Muslim society into modern society, that will not happen through hatred. You have to convince them what you are offering is better than what they are holding. For that you have to be very rational and logical. Buddha has said "hatred can not be ceased by hatred". This is natural law. You can not change Muslim by hatred. If you try to prove them wrong, they will hold their view tighter. Almost one third of this world is populated by Muslims; how do you expect to live with peace and harmony having enmity with them? We have to learn to respect others. If Muslims don't respect us, we have to tell them through our actions that to respect each other is superior to the superiority complex. They are also human being like us; the truth will strike them sooner or later. I have no doubt that the Muhammad gave life to wild, uncivilized Arabs and Qooran gave birth to a shiny progressive Muslim civilization. When Europe was in Dark Age, Muslim civilization was in its peak. We must accept this truth and respect the truth. However, this truth doesn't make modern day Muslims superior; they have to understand this. Here is the splash of Islamic civilization in our world. Don't get surprised that the most honorable words we use these days are Islamic: शाह, वक्स, वक्शियो, सवारी, ज्युनार, जुनाफ, जवाफ, हजुर, मौसुफ, हुकुम, शाहज्यादा, शाहज्यादी, मर्जि etc. Let's not take these words politically, but these are words which we consider highly civilized. Muslim taught the world a well organized governing system. These are the Islamic words borrowed by us for our governing system. जागिर, सर्जमिन, वकिल, अदालत, वकालत, सरकार, संसद, सांसद, मर्जि, मुचुल्का, etc. Food कबाब, तन्दुरी etc are considered the food consumed by highly civilized people of our world and are also borrowed from Muslim world. Regarding education, Bagdad was once a center for scholars of the world. Many Hindu scholars contributed for astrology. Actually they mediated between China and Islamic world. Hindu ancient scriptures like Upanishad were first known to world by Islamic kings. They were translated into Parsi and opened to the world. There should be no doubt that Islamic civilization has contributed a lot to mankind. This is past of Muslim, which credited their ancestors, can not credit them. They have to take their history as inspiration and see the world form different points of view. For credit they (modern day muslims) have to offer something to the world as their ancestors did.
