It is a complex mixture culture, traditions and school of thoughts

My intention is to understand whether you are a Muslim only if you follow the Koran in its entirety or whether Muslims are simply a group of people, i.e. there is no strict definition of Muslim as per the religious scriptures or that an individual can be selective in his/her following of the...

First Hinduism is not a religion and it has no laws, second the discussion currently is on Islam...so let us stay focused there.

So when in the Koran it says that you need to give hundred lashes to a particular kind of sexual offender (for example in verse 24:2 here), you are obliged to follow that? Is that what happens in Pakistan and if not then are the Pakistanis or any other Muslim society not guilty of going against...

I have one of very fundamental question. For a person to be a Muslim, is he/she obliged to follow the Koran in its entirety or can they be selective on the basis of what is applicable today?

When in a nation, the so-called learned people start behaving like sheeps, who can hardly make use of their brains to conclude from suggestive facts, it is most likely the end of the road. Whatever God does is through us. If the people have become so delusional or naive that they cannot see that...

This is not Digvijay's agenda, this is the agenda of the Congress itself. Chidambaram was the first to use the word Hindu terror, even before any single Hindu being convicted by the court. The Congress plays shrewd games. They know if they have to remain in power, after all their expose that the...

You cannot dispute santro's post. That is factual.

Your comparison is unfounded. India does not gets military aid but Pakistan does, and India has concerns that the military aid that is for the purpose of WoT is being diverted to be used against India. India is perfectly in her rights to regress any activities that threatens India's security. If...

I never meant that he is brainwashed. I only wanted to turn his point and place India where Pakistan is, and place Pakistan where India is in his statement. Just make some basic observations - see which country has seen the what kind of governance since independence. See which country is...

Somebody needs to see mirror here.

Is that the real reason why women are so adamant for changing roles these days?

I think if you think about yourself instead of your spouse, there is bound to be problems. Think about your partner, play your part well. If your partner also thinks about you more than himself, he would definitely look up into your personal interests and both can talk out how to work out...

I think this is the most noble proclamation. The persons who do so, are executing their part well, it is the loss of others who have not/ do not do so. Those who think that by ignoring the family members they are favoring themselves, they have really no hope.

That is not just your standard of prosperity, but that is the general standard of prosperity. And you seem to feel that the Shariah can ensure all this without any 'side-effects'? If you are talking about the Koran, we have online versions.

[/COLOR] My dear old sir, you are again talking about the fallacies of the implementation of the system of democracy itself. You do not mean to imply that the US and the Europe are not prosperous, do you? If they are then the system is working fine, however, only a naive can expect a perfect...

How did they had extreme sentiments? What you are favoring (and I think that is Shariah) is a closed system from the very beginning. Democracy is flexible, the laws can be changed/formulated based on the will of the people. The system should be implemented on the society and the society, in...

If you want to base the fundamentals of a nation on a set of beliefs, then I am afraid the future of the nation can never be good. There is a very good reason to keep religion out of governance, and this is that very reason. No system of governance should ever be based upon beliefs, because...

If you can convince everyone then you have must be right. But when you enter into a discussion over such elementary issues, it is best to leave behind the personal beliefs, and participate as impartial observers. Above all, logic and truth should prevail.

Indeed, if you suppress voice that is not democracy. But freedom to express yourself should not be taken for granted. For example, by mere expressing yourself, you may be inciting violence, and in that case the more bigger right of people (suppression of violence) will prevail over the lesser...
