[VIDEOS] Why anti Muslim bias is so profound among Hindutva supporters?

[DeadlyVenom]

It is out there in real. Many hindus have been at the forefront of social reform for dalits. Hindu leaders led reforms for bad social practices. Widow remarriage, women rights, dalit rights, other backward caste rights all led by prominent hindus.

Same things exist in all communities. I thought you were presenting something unique.

It is not unique. It exists in other communities. Christian society, in the west at least, has rejected many verses in the Bible which have no place today.

Does it exist in muslim society? Which verses in the scriptures have been declared that they are wrong? Just a few days ago KKWC was justifying the 2:1 witness rule for female and males by saying females lack the physical attributes.

Have the Hindus declared that their past practices or verses or books were wrong?

Or have they reinterpreted them or quietly put aside.

The best reformist movement in Islam has been the wahhabi movement.

Practices changes from time and place. Some just fade out of existence. Some have to be eliminated by concious effort.

I am not well versed in this but isn't wahabism what lead to Islamic extremism?

 

[CricketCartoons]

I am not well versed in this but isn't wahabism what lead to Islamic extremism?

I mean within Islam, it is considered a reform, to make Islam pure and remove any innovations that had crept in. Not in the sense of rejecting or re interpreting something which went against the morality of present times.

Neo-Hinduism has been proven wrong on many levels already.

Neo-Hinduism has been proven wrong on many levels already.

Hinduism has had flaws, that is why it did not have a One Book, because many things change according to times.

Even Christianity has had its flaws which they have rejected.

Only Islam is perfect. So no need to reject anything.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

This is a change in social practice rather than a change in theology. Was caste considered evil at the time? Our ancestors who burned the women were they committing evil then or is it only evil now?

It's like in classical Islamic law women were unable to travel over 45 miles without a male guardian. That ruling is mostly ignored now. These are the types of things you are bringing forward.

I don't know about your scriptures enough to say which says it. But it seems you appear to think that the Hindu masses openly practiced and encouraged evil practices. Only through the efforts of modern Hindus like you has the religion been reformed.

Evil is evil. It was evil then.

I will give a simple example to bring forward what I am hitting at.

Hindus, and I mean practicing hindus, have criticised even Lord Ram and Lord Krishna. Can muslims ever criticize Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w)?

You know the answer. And I rest my case.

That's an interesting perspective. Why would you criticize the gods? Who are these Hindus that do it and what form does the criticism take?

No we will never ever criticise Prophet Muhammad (saw).

You haven't really presented a case to rest apart from your modernist interpretation being superior to earlier interpretation. No evidence of any theological change just through change in social practices.

Hinduism is not even a religion, it is a perception of how a society is perceived within India which why Hinduism was confined within India.

Sati is a good example, before you go criticising the treatment of women in other religion, spare a though for Hinduism which encourages the burning of a widow alive. Caste system is another belter.

Now you can go on and claim - this is not Hinduism - but feel free to do so because it proves that most Hindus are ashamed of Hinduism, which is why they are desperate to alter it.

That is a tangential discussion. The original discussion was that which of Hinduism and Islamic community is open to reform, acceptance of its flaws.

The form of criticism is not that of hatred. It is disagreement with some of their actions.

Half baked knowledge is dangerous. Sati was a local practise. It is not ordained by God or religious scriptures. It is not theologically sanctioned. It's mostly was in Rajput kingdoms and later spread to other parts.

There is no concept of caste but there is Varna system. Societal practices are very much different from God ordained laws. Islam and quran are direct words of God who says females are lesser than males. Their testimonials are half that of a man. And Islamists have no shame in accepting and supporting it.

Oh ok the things that have been "reformed" weren't even part of Hinduism in the first place then.

Got it.

Don't try and hoodwink us by claiming credit for reform then.

But anyway we will respect what you have said.

Which God? Hinduism has 1000000s, no? Hang on, many Indians on her claimed Hinduism is not a religion but a way of life? Which is it?

At the end of the day, Hinduism had a 5000 year head start yet failed to make its mark around the world. The reasons why are obvious, and its not because Hinduism accepts life, it is because Hinduism discriminates life.

We are all born equal, except if one is born in Hinduism, in which case, one is funneled into a caste for life.

You have to seperate Hindu religion and Hindu culture. Because the culture and tradition in India changes from state to state.

There is a case of dowry too in Hindu tradition which still going on.

Your post just exposes your ignorance and hate. Hinduism is primarily based on Vedic texts.

Many hindus reject the manusmriti (the law book for hindus). That is not like some chain of hadith where they are weak and strong hadiths. It is the literal law book. That will be like Muslims rejecting some part of Quraan and some hadiths of Sahih Bukhari.

Many hindus reject one verse of Tulsidas Ramcharitmanas (the popular form of Ramayana) where it seems objectional to women. But the main example remains Manusmriti.

3. Many literary works critiquing Lord Rama (from Sita's point of view). Most famous of them was Mohandas Gandhi.
While there can never be an Islamic equivalent of 3. What are the ones for 1, 2 and 4?

Ahhh yes, this old chestnut - it was a bad practise/abolished blah blah. Does not change the fact Hinduism ushered in this vile practise.

When Muslims try to explain the differences between cultural and religious overspill when it comes to Islam, you don't care. You still believe Islam endorses the live burial of daughters despite the documented evidence of said vile practise predating Islam in the region.

You yourself reject the distinction between cultural and religion when it comes to Islam, yet want us to accept the distinctions within Hinduism so that you can purify Hinduism of its vile practises.

I don't need evidence, the fact your are hopelessly excusing Sati as some phantom Hindu practise tells me I am spot on.

Whether something is sanctioned in the scriptures or not, if it becomes a social practice and is evil, then the society must own it.

While there can never be an Islamic equivalent of 3. What are the ones for 1, 2 and 4?

1. No longer practice certain things. - Slavery is essentially abolished as per cairo convention on Islamic human rights, women travelling without mahram rarely practised, laws around iddat are relaxed in practice, in time more relaxed atittude towards apostacy.
2. Rejection of some verses (like Ramcharitmanas dhol, shudra, pashu nari) - no we won't verses however they are reviewed and hadith are recategorized. Albani for example in the 1940s removed many Hadith from Bukhari as he felt them weak. AFAIK Manu smirti isn't a divine text. it is a law book, rejecting this is the same as some aspects of shariah evolving over time.
3. Criticism of their deities - As we discussed this doesn't happen and will never happen nor is it something that Muslims aspire to.
4. Reforming movement, affirmative action led by Hindus. - What sort of reforming movement do you think Islam needs? There are reform movements on a smaller scale throughout the Muslim world. Since we don't have anything evil like Sati or Caste system there is no need for internal affirmative action. However there is womens rights movements prominent across all spheres of the Muslim world.

No it was for you. You asked me to provide an example of Islamic reform of a prevalent islamic practice.

But can you first detail from a Hindu perspective so I have a frame of reference now that I have learned Sati and Caste weren't Hindu practices anyway so don't count as examples of reform.

For 2. What is the muslim consensus on the verse (except what your right hand possesses). Do they reject it?
Manusmriti is believed to be written by Manu getting it from Brahma, the creator of universe. So it is as divine as the Quran ( in terms of belief).

You should hate Hinduism and Christianity and Islam alike. If you hate violence.

I made a clear distinction between hinduism and hindutva but you keep insisting both are the same, it's not. The latter is a political movement.

Also, christian doctrine is different from a bunch of Old Testament verses. Nobody looks at random OT verses today and say 'oh that is how we should behave. The actual doctrine is a combination of 2000 year old church teachings and holy scriptures (bible)

Doesn't matter if something is an ideology, or religion or political movement. At the fundamental level they are a belief system, and every belief system should be held to the same level of accountability if its believers commit violence motivated by it.

If OT is not important, why isn't it removed from the Bible? (rhetorical question). Did you blame christianity for Anders Breivik? Name a single hindutva follower who has done anything similar to Breivik.

You are lenient on religions. I am not lenient on even hinduism. I am a hindu who believes in Hindutva. If you want to generalize my belief system, then I want the same to be applied to every belief system and every religion, including your religion.

I get that. I don't expect any non hindu to really honor my religious beliefs. And he is free to consume beef.

But it was something else. He came to taunt and mock my religious beliefs. The glee at causing me pain. That is only possible when he sees a hindu like me a sub human and deserving of ridicule and shame.

There are muslims who consume beef, but they will not come and use it to mock and humiliate a hindu just for the heck of it. and RexRex is a decent man by the look of it. So when he does it, it only means he sees me as subhuman and my religious beliefs as savagery.

What’s indefensible really? You claim to. E secular like US or UK but when you come and work here you love to sit in meetings with your boss munching on a steak. But in your own self proclaimed secular country you cannot allow others to eat the same juicy steak?

Then you claim Muslims are dogged here?

How much sense does that make?

 

[HalBass9]

Everyone understands that cows are sacred to Hindus, but what many fail to comprehend is why a non-Hindu must be lynched for this belief. What is even more remarkable is the way in which non-violent Hindus often feel compelled to justify such acts of violence, offering any excuse to defend them.

It seems some Hindus are advocating for an exclusively Hindu nation where no other religion would be allowed to claim citizenship and it is apparent that Hindus deserve it.

is that some self deprecating philosophy from some new Hindu book or just some personal new age cartoonish philosophy you just came up with?

Yes, exactly, that is what I meant. How amazing that you totally got it this time.

Because he is convinced beyond any shadow of doubt whatsoever that he is in the right and you are in the wrong when it comes to cows ( or infact anything to do with Hinduism ). No amount of evidence of *ANY* kind is going to budge most Muslims EVEN the well educated ones!!

So far the one and only one Muslim that I have interacted with on this forum who gets it is @DeadlyVenom .

Its a very eye opening experience to witness how doggedly they defend the indefensible.

It's incredible how incapable religious folks are of seeing each other's viewpoints. Even relatively logical guys like @Stewie cannot believe that someone's religious beliefs can prevent them from eating something as delicious as beef. And that they can hold those beliefs sincerely.

Everyone understands that cows are sacred to Hindus, but what many fail to comprehend is why a non-Hindu must be lynched for this belief. What is even more remarkable is the way in which non-violent Hindus often feel compelled to justify such acts of violence, offering any excuse to defend them.

It seems some Hindus are advocating for an exclusively Hindu nation where no other religion would be allowed to claim citizenship and it is apparent that Hindus deserve it.

It's a disappointing attitude.

I find the awful pictures of our holy Prophet truly heartbreaking. The ones who make them say it's just lines on paper why are you so upset and they speak in condescending ways telling me what I should feel and how I should express it.

So I can't in good faith say similar things to Hindus who feel offended at something others may consider "normal". It would make me a hypocrite.

Do you believe those who drew a cartoon or burnt a Quran deserves to be killed?

Or those who do it have the right to do whatever they wish to?

I don't think @DeadlyVenom does. Just as I don't believe say @cricketjoshila believes anyone who slaughters a cow deserves to be killed. Apologies to them if I'm speaking out of turn.

But I believe both of them are hurt by the events described - obscene portraits of your prophet and the death of a cow.

Of course, there's a few trolls who only pretend outrage and use this stuff to fuel their prejudices but that doesn't invalidate genuine feelings of the truly devout.

Neither. Just an example of an intellectual supporting someone who committed murder. This is not something new. It takes all kind of people to advance an ideology: those on the streets who carry out the actions, the moderates who downplay or justify them, and the intellectuals who elevate and romanticize these acts, giving them a sense of legitimacy and purpose.

This has been answered numerous times in multiple threads ... here it is again :

Nobody truly believes anyone should be lynched. But unfortunately those that keep indulging in these kind of sacrilegious acts do not get the message unless its told to them in a language that they understand which is brute force. Its not like civilized means haven't been tried.

Evidence is RIGHT HERE in black and white where apart from one Muslim NOBODY else gets it and these are very well educated people with internet access. Now imagine the situation where most people are illiterate in real life. Infact when dealing with savages who have no respect for my beliefs being civilized would actually be construed as a sign of weakness and is very counterproductive. It only encourages them to double down. !!​

What is even more remarkable is the way in which non-violent Hindus often feel compelled to justify such acts of violence, offering any excuse to defend them.

Now that you have realized that it should tell you the magnitude of the sacrilege that has compelled the otherwise non-violent Hindu ( per your own words ) to act.

I don't believe DV does that, nor have I ever seen him make excuses for anyone who has killed in the name of hurt religious sentiments.

Hindutva supporters, on the other hand, have made plenty of excuses for lynching, often with the favorite line, 'You should respect Hindu laws.'

But what truly stands out is the justification of genocide based on events that supposedly happened millions of years ago.

 

[uppercut]

What’s indefensible really? You claim to. E secular like US or UK but when you come and work here you love to sit in meetings with your boss munching on a steak. But in your own self proclaimed secular country you cannot allow others to eat the same juicy steak?

Then you claim Muslims are dogged here?

How much sense does that make?

The problem here is your shallow understanding of secularism because secularism doesn't give anyone rights to demolish anyone elses religious beliefs. Forget secularism ... just simple common sense would go a long way in resolving this centuries old dispute. See post #1568 by @DeadlyVenom.

No of course not. But I'd support them banning the drawing of such cartoons.

However let's be honest when Charlie Hedbo happened some in our community just said meh and shrugged their shoulders too.

In this thread it seems many have even denied Hindus the right to feel offended and tried to paint our own views on what is/isn't offensive and then ask them to abide by it. I don't think any Hindu has said they are happy that people are killed if they eat beef. They have just tried to show us how important the issue is to them.

Oh so I have a shallow understanding of secularism? I live in the US where Hindus don’t go running after Muslims or Christian’s for eating beef or killing cows. I guess we are shallow seculars here?

You are not making any sense. How have you arrived at the conclusion that Hindus are being denied the right to feel offended?

How can one even enforce such a denial?

They can feel offended all they want. But if they want to be considered a truly secular and democratic state, they have to allow Muslims the right to sacrifice a cow and eat it if they want to.

It can be done in a discreet way, they dont have to do it right in front of Hindus.

I have seen hundreds of posts from Hindus championing separation of church and state. It’s hypercritical of them to do that on one hand and on the other force this law on their people when they claim to be secular.

They have also tried to show to us how important their right to draw cartoons of our religious figures is to them as well.
They want this freedom. You can review the popular Hindu opinion here on various threads.

Nor do Muslims go on a rampage when their religious sentiments are not respected by the majority in the US so does that mean the things you consider sacrilegious are actually not? Not sure what you are trying to prove here.

They can say what they like. I won't change my beliefs or mindset as a reaction to what they say.

 

[uppercut]

I get that. I don't expect any non hindu to really honor my religious beliefs. And he is free to consume beef.

But it was something else. He came to taunt and mock my religious beliefs. The glee at causing me pain. That is only possible when he sees a hindu like me a sub human and deserving of ridicule and shame.

Add utter uncompromising contempt to the description and it will be closer to reality. Now throw in the "guaranteed" rewards in the afterlife if he were to convert us kaffirs ... its a nobrainer as to why intolerance comes standard amongst vast majority of Muslims.

Not sure what you are trying to prove here either.

Kindly stop blaming Islam itself and Muslims all over the world for what you are experiencing in your own country due to your latest anti Islam and anti Muslim policies. That’s all I am going to add to it.

Muslims are second in the world after Christians and in most settled civilized nations of the world they are productive and peaceful members of society. It only seems like in India you guys have this problem. Maybe a more introspective look into why that is is needed.
