Islamic language that dehumanizes unbelievers is where Islamic violence begins. Slurs like Kuffar (derogatory term for someone who doesn't believe Islam) and Najis (filth) are weaponzied language, designed to ”other” and get their base worked up. /1 https://t.co/rxu64kds14


It is very clear from their language they do not recognize the humanity of those that doesn't believe what they believe. This is not due to the individual, but rather because of Islamic teachings found in it's source materials.

And when they curse their imaginary God characters wrath on you, and condemn you to an imaginary hellfire in an none existent afterlife all within the mythological construct of Islam, it is only telling of what they would rather do to us if they had a choice. /3

And to expect these people will have any good faith against someone else who is suffering and demanding a respite from that suffering is foolish. They do not see humans and human rights in the same light as we do. /4

They only see their own self interest and the interest of Islamic teachings that seak to oppress and dominate everyone else. All sane and rational people must say no to this bullshit, if we are ever to overcome islam’s assault on humanity. /5
Friends. Some months ago I had shared the idea that acclaimed writer & translator Musharraf Ali Farooqi & I had to excavate, annotate & print in high quality a classic of world literature – Tilism-e-Hoshruba. I had also shared why this magical piece of work has tremendous 1/


literary, cultural & civilizational significance for us & why it needs to be made available in a much more authentic, approachable & attractive form. Together we, therefore, put together Project Hoshruba to take this forward. Project Hoshruba website now up. 2/


And here's the link:

Out 1st target was to raise Rs. 3 Million through a group of select Friends of Hoshruba whom we approached based on our perception that they would not just be supportive of such a cause but that the cause 3/


would gain from support of such people not merely financially but in multifarious ways, given their acumen & achievements, public mindedness, the value they attach to literature, culture & the arts, & their commitment in general to noble causes.

I must confess that despite 4/


being confident we were simply overwhelmed by their positivity & generosity. All it took was just 1 short conversation. We're delighted & proud they have put their trust in this endeavor & will further guide & facilitate us to take Project Hoshruba to successful completion 5/
@SadhguruJV, I have taken Inner Engineering courses, visited Isha Ashram, subscribed to your videos. I will be stopping this because you seem intent on converting Hindus to Xianity

Bible says horrific things about non-Christians. Jesus endorsed all this. Let me show you...

Here's what New Testament says about non-believing Heathen eg Hindus:

Matthew13:41-42 “Son of man shall send forth his angels and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend…and cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth"

Jude5 “The Lord destroyed them that believed not”

Acts3:23 “Every soul which will not hear that prophet (Jesus) shall be destroyed from among the people”

Revelation21:8 “The unbelieving and idolaters…shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone”

Thessalonians 1:8-9 “Lord Jesus…in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God and that obey not the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ shall be punished with everlasting destruction”

John15:6 “If a man abide not in me…cast them into the fire and they are burned”

Luke13:3-5, repeating Jesus' words “Except ye repent shall all likewise perish”

Mark16:15-16, repeating Jesus' words “Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptised shall be saved but he that believed not shall be damned”

It’s a harsh and unfortunate truth that Hindus and the #RW take immense pride in flaunting the #Hindutva flag, but a major chunk is extremely under-informed.
(1/14)

Out of more than 1000 Bhartiya Books that have been digitised by
https://t.co/ipxQnePukH, many in RW haven’t even read one of them. This can be said as the #SuperficialRW that has no depth of clarity of thought.
(2/14)

We request such RW folks to not take this as mockery, but something more serious and something that should be worked upon. Beginning with Bhagvad Geeta can be a good first step towards a sincere reading of many such notable Bhartiya books.

India’s youth and even their parents have been brainwashed over several decades. And, when we say India, we mean the native Bhartiyas, not the invaders.
(4/14)

The brainwashing over the years has somewhere, subconsciously led to a deep sense of inferiority complex, especially among the Hindus. It is quite evident when Hindu kids do not take a sense of pride in wearing Rudraksh or Tilak to their schools.

Excellent thread by Rabbi Reuvane about the level (or lack thereof) of Jewish literacy amongst Progressive American Jews. It speaks directly to a conversation I was having yesterday with a congregant in his 20s. He recently started attending Chabad shiurim, and loves them. 1/10


He was baffled by his Jewish education topping out at the Babylonian and Roman exiles. He was enthralled with the lives of the early Rabbis, and how Jewish intellectual culture developed over the centuries. There was more than a little bit of anger at what he'd been deprived. 2/

I had the same experience when I did my MA in Hebrew Bible at JTS. I grew up very involved in my synagogue through high school, and went on the Alexander Muss program in Israel. I came out of all that not even knowing what the Mishna or the Talmud were, and I'm a good student. 3/

My honest appraisal is that most of our Progressive synagogues were created to be institutions that helped new Jewish immigrant families integrate into American culture, and we haven't shifted from that. My one quibble with @RabbiReuvane is with the de-assimilation piece. 4/

It's not about de-assimilation, but re-integration. Our institutions broadly accomplished the goal of helping folks like my Ashki great grandparents and their descendants gain access to mainstream acceptance just like other white European immigrant groups in America. 5/
