Again read my comments to Vinod. IF you declare this as a Hindu activity and concede that Muslims are CORRECT in objecting to part-taking in a Hindu activity, I won't object to the belief system in a sun god. Belief isn't scientific, it is something that is unproven but you have faith in it. My comments would end, you have a right to believe in the Sun god in isolation without compelling me.
But if you say its not belief, then its logic, then its science - then you expose yourself to further inquiry.
I have no issue whatsoever if people be they Hindus, Muslims, Christians or anyone else choose not participate in performing the suryanamaskar. I see this whole issue being blown out of proportion. Muslims are well within their right (as indeed are any others) not to indulge in this activity & I, for one appreciate their concerns. I'm sure most Hindus do not believe in a Sun God anymore than others do but they may not have a cultural/religious opposition to do what is a culturally familiar act. One can do this without indulging themselves in the religious aspect originally attributed or one may choose to separate themselves entirely on reasons of faith but such decisions are best left to individuals. Fatwas only serve to unnecessarily sharpen the discourse as is so clearly evident here.
Me calling religious acts logical & scientific? You really haven't bothered to read any of my posts, have you?
