@96 Religious freedom does not include Universal Jihad, which would rack up plenty of its own victims of its hate.

If anyone on this blog is in his constituency and has the slightest bit of concern for the type of people in congress, please think about what you are voting for. He obviously doesn’t respect religious freedom in America. This comes from an American who knows people of all religions who have been victims of hate. I encourage Mr. Kumar to speak with fellow Americans of all different faiths. Open up your eyes, mind and heart, sir, your neighbors, your fellow citizens of different religions are not to be hated. It’s political campaigning like this that has caused violence around the world, is probably causing violence and hate as I type.

But then she also goes on to say “we contradict ourselves”. You go girl, you’re not a mandi!

Hold up. What exactly is “not progressive” about being anti-Jihad? Conflating Muslims with Jihadis sure, but I would sincerely hope that most Muslims in this country are themselves anti-Jihad. Adopting a “pro-Jihad” stance would be. . . well dumb.

(post #39)

I was wondering about that too – see Anna’s post #16……….being “anti-Jihad” didn’t seem to fit in with the rest of her sentence.

Christian charity has been and still is used as a passive aggressive means of conversion, which is no real charity at all but just another means of destroying non-Abrahamic religions that remain in the world.

Well so are blogs, but that doesn't seem to stop you...

How do you spell Hindu ? With two o’s ?

No, but not for the same reason you probably spell vindaloo with a ‘u’ But seriously, when a Westerner asks me if I speak Hindu, I say yeah I also speak Christian.

Nor does it mean I have to say Mumbai and Chennai instead of Bombay and Madras.

asinine colonial products coming out of st stephens are coming out of a former colonial missionary institution

I deplore the colonial mindset and the "dogs and Indians not allowed" signs and other atrocities we had to put up with during the Raj. Whenever I come across a pompous Brit, I make it a point to put him in his place. But that doesn't mean I don't enjoy a fine scotch with my steak at the gymkhana club. Nor does it mean I have to say Mumbai and Chennai instead of Bombay and Madras. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water. Or bash people from St. Stephens and Lovedale and Madras Christian College. Appreciate the Indian Railways, the Indian postal system, and the Indian Army, all of which have colonial roots. And don't forget the English language, a language that many on this forum are very comfortable with.
