Laughing Buddha Jee, Namaste and thanks for your comment. Let me remind you that the heading of the topic is �Quran on non-Muslims�, that the topic is relevant because of the murder of our twelve innocent Nepalese brother by Islamic militants, and that the main thrust of my argument is the search for �motivation� for such heinous crime. So let us focus on the issue and post only relevant arguments. My posting does not denounce the murderers, let alone Muslims in general. The statements are not mine but from Quran. So where is the stereotyping? The issue is about �motivation.� If you have a better explanation, please do so. That will be appreciated very much. Otherwise why post irrelevant writings. The issues you have raised are important. But you should post with another heading, not here. You charge others being �one sided myopic stereotyping� and go �beyond finding fault with only one religion.� Before you state so, you need to ask yourself following questions. What could be the reason that these people were murdered? Is there any recent cases where Christians, or Hindus or Buddhists killing non-co-religionist unprovoked? Can you quote scriptures of Hindus, Buddhist or Christians where murdering others are given as a part of religious duty? Suppose there is one in Bible, do today�s Christians attack non-Christians unprovoked following such injunctions? Such passages, if exist, will merely be embarrassing part for most of the Christians I know of. You may point out the objectionable Quranic passages to your Muslim friends and see their reaction. They will never agree to consider it in poor taste. It is true that many Christian evangelists are trying to convert Nepalese to Christianity by inducements and misleading statements. Missionaries are not for understanding or exchange of ideas, but to take advantage of our poverty and backwardness. The essential Christianity is that �all the Christians automatically go to heaven, no matter how evil� and �all others go to hell, no matter how virtuous.� Evidently, this is simply not true. The simple truth is any boy can approach heaven by practicing good heart inside and good deed outside. Whether you are Christian, Muslim, Hindu or Jew does not matter. These brain washed people believe that only way to heaven is to believe �Jesus is Christ�, an irrelevant and untrue fact. Less said about this nonsense the better. Christian fundamentalism presents a different set of problems. But this is totally different topic. Christian evangelism is a far cry from sleeting throat of innocent Nepalese in Iraq. (CONTINUED)
