If it is Islamic teaching that non-believers [ correct meaning - atheist ] have no right to live on this earth , most muslims would have been murderers by now , killing each other coz some are non-believers themselves in reality ===================================== Dear Farooq, When and what I write, I do so academically and factually, without hype or emotion. It is not only islamic but also christian teaching that there is only one god, theirs, and he would save those who believe /come to Him, and forsake who do not. For both these religions, heaven is for believers, hell for non-believers. For both these religions, it is the duty of believers to convert non-believers. While fundamentals remain unchanged, Christians have become sophisticated, partly under the influence of education, science, democracy and industrialization, which brought riches. Muslims are comparatively less transformed. the difference has become so glaring that though both are religions by the book, christians have today turned against muslims. The third Book religion, jewism, has not tried to convert others ever, so none talks ill of it, at least in this context. When I say muslims kill hindus because they are hindus/non-muslims, I do not mean to say that in practice every muslim wants to kill every hindu. what I mean is that an uneducated, socially backward, staunch muslim under the clutch of mullas will not mind killing hindus because they are hindus. On the other hand, an uneducated, socially backward, staunch hindu under the clutch of pandits will not think of killing a muslim because he is a muslim. As a matter of fact, there are 2 inbuilt inaccuracies in my statement: A. Most staunch hindus are not under the clutch of pandits; B. Pandits/Hinduism do not teach the theory of believer/non-believer, dividing humanity into two mutually exclusive groups. For Hindus, all are alike, god loves and saves all, even those who do not believe in him or worship him. [elief in existence of god is NOT essential for a hindu]. I never meant to hurt you. I just stated facts as I understand them. I am always open to correction.
