--Mike,Ever since I came across Samuel Johnson's wisecrack" Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel" ,my beliefs and firmly held assumptions regarding usual banners like religions,political ideologies ,nationalisms etc.took a drastic makeover. Just think,people are willing to die and kill just because somebody says some awful thing about a concept held very dearly and just because you are born into it or emotionally attached to it. One would have thought that Galileos of the world are no longer persecuted just because of difference of opinion ! This very fact suggests to me that the assertion that humans are the most advanced specie in terms of evolution is a serious misconception. Horses will simply laugh at the idea.Coming back to the issue of people still willing to kill in the name of religion or similar group ism and will go to any length to increase their number, I always wonder how come the absurdity of such stuff does not strike a note even in intellectually sophisticated people ! It was stupid enough to discriminate on the basis of skin color or gender,which are biologically based, but it is moronic to indulge in mayhem because of nationality or religion and similar stuff.We the humans fought the last WW2 because of such stuff killing millions. But it seems the lesson was not learnt. So if one looks at the "serious" discussions on role of religion from this broad perspective, it appears that use of profusion of sophisticated jargons and literary athletics is passing wisdom. This is not simply a colossal waste of time,but the real serious problems humans confront now are sidelined. Pity.

I am sure there are institutions willing to offer you incentives. If you are going to switch,, do it for good money, sell yourselves high, then you will do the Ghar wapsi for a much bigger amount.thanks buddyMikeIn a message dated 1/10/2015 5:23:45 P.M.

Now as a straight business deal, can I become a Muslim( I would not mind paying a few hundred rupees) with the assurance that Hindus will convert me back with the package deal of five lakhs! I do not understand why this fool proof method of earning real dough has escaped people back home. Changing religions should not be any different from political parties.Arjun Purohit

When I trace back my roots, per my gotra, it ends with Maharshi Gautam of Ramayana era.
If you trace back, if your ancestors are not Iranian, most likely they were either lured by a good paying job during the Muslim rule or convinced that Islam is better than Hinduism, then dominated by Brahmins.
Today's hindusim and Islam are entirely different.
While Hinduism got evolved and allowed intercaste and even interreligious marriages ( watch recent news where hindu right wing pleased hindu boys to marry muslim girls).
The VHP or Bajrang Dal program is for those who are frustrated by the action of terrorists and want to give up their Muslim label and dissociate from Islam. Even in France, we now see a lady terrorist. In North Africa 300 school girls were kidnapped and forced to get married under shariah law, which allows child marriages.
In Pakistan, blasphemy is punishable by death. Yesterday, talk radio host Michael Savage was mentioning that the source of the terrorism and 9th century mindset is your holy book itself. You say terrorists are not Muslims but terrorists are saying that they are true soldiers of Allah and they may think, the so called secular Muslims are coward.
My point is - a country without Muslims will be spending much less for security and less civil law suits. Zero Muslim means no influence from ISI or terrorists. No terrorist training either. No one would go to fight for Baghdadi.
If Mr. Modi has planned this, as you are asserting, this may be his vision of development. Look wise or culturally, there is no difference between indian Hindus and Muslims. You shouldn't be taunting Mr. Modi if you are not capable of projecting your religion as a popular religion. Currently, Islam is perceived as a dangerous religion notwithstanding what you claim.
You say 'religion of peace' - others say 'religion of piece'.
My request is let the suffocating Muslims to liberate. You too will some day will do the home coming and I will attend the ceremony.

MODI'S SUCESS WITH GHAR WAPSI
Ghar Wapsi i.e., homecoming. That is bringing Christians and Muslims back into the fold of Hinduism through allurements and or coercion.Religion is for sale now – it takes 5 lakh Rupees to convert a Muslim to Hinduism and 2 lakh Rupees to convert a Christian to be a Hindu. Here is my offer; I will become a Hindu Brahmin for 5,000 Crore Indian Rupees.I urge the Christians, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhist and Muslims of India, comprising roughly 200 Million to make a collective offer to the mis-representatives of Hinduism to come up with 500,000 x 200 Million Rupees, plus a job for each one to convert to Hinduism.
If Modi does not control the frogs in his party, his election slogan, “Sab ka saath, Sab ka vikas,” will become, “Hindutva ka saaz, BJP ki bakwas.”

Muslim solutions to Terrorism in Paris
Outrage, condemnation, candle light vigils and revenge talk is all good, but the need is practical solutions beyond condemnations. Obviously the burden squarely falls on Muslims; we have to grudgingly admit that almost all acts of terror are committed by men claiming to be Muslims in the pretext of defending Islam, Quran and the Prophet. It is our duty to build a better world for all of us to live in peace, and that is all God wants, here is the first step.
