Sali Jee, Namaste and thanks for your comment. In Mahabharat, Krishna does not ask to murder any body, let alone non-Hindus. No. Matter of fact no where in Hinduism or Buddhism killing is praised. It is about Karma yoga. The battle field is merely a backdrop. However, that is not the case with Islam. In Islam it is religious duty of every Muslim to convert infidels to Islam. If possible nicely, otherwise by force. You may read in Quran directly. I have posted relevant �shuras� or passages. One of the principal concept in Islam is �darul al islam� - land of light and �darul al harb� - land of strife. All the area under Islam is land of light and others are land of strife. Jehad is fighting infidels to extend the land light into the land of strife. The mechanism of war is simple. First you dehumanize Kafirs, then attack. The Muslim soldiers are brain washed to believe that if they die in battle they will automatically go to heaven and have fun with 72 virgins and 28 young boys. If you win then four fifth of all the loot including captured women belongs to the fighting soldiers. The other one fifth of the loot including women goes to the central leadership. Even Muhammad used to get the spoils including women of defeated infidels. Karma yoga is quite different. According to the theory of Karma, like the Newton�s third law, whatever you do will come back to you. That is, you have to face consequences of all your actions, good for good, bad for bad, more for more, less for less. We human beings will be acting one act or the other, and consequently we are always bound by the resultant karma. Even if we do good, we still have to face its pleasant karmic reaction, though pleasant one. Thus we are in no win situation. One way to get out of the karmic bond is to control ego through knowledge of self. That yoga is called Sankhya yoga, related to �adwaita� philosophy taught by Lord Shiva. However, it is difficult for ordinary working people to practice. Lord Krishna taught the Karma yoga for precisely those people. CONTINUED
