response to Raju Thomas:
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Dear Mr. Thomas,
Nobody has the constitutional right to expel Americans of Indian origin regardless of the opinions they hold on any subject matter, including on real or imagined persecutions. The opinions that Mr. Thomas has expressed are very similar to the ones that Christian fundamentalists and racists in the USA have been expressing for long.
Mr. Thomas' suggestion of sending some Americans of Indian origin back to India is an echo of what white racists and supremacists have said in the past. Jefferson, for example, fixed the price of an African American child at $ 22.50, and proposed shipping them back to Africa, after sterilizing adult African Americans.Â
The accusation that Hindus are persecuting Christians in India is a strawman invented by American Christian fundamentalists to facilitate the evangelization of Indians by hook or crook. Every one of those allegations have been shown to be false. In reality, Christians in India enjoy more constitutional rights than do Hindus.
The real reason behind such bogus Christian fundamentalist-backed US State reports is to counter the Hindu resurgence in India. Hindutva organizations play a crucial grass-roots level role in that resurgence. So, bogus reports are created to demonize the Hindutva groups. Human rights is not at all the concern can be made out from the fact that the US State has never tabled a report on the Islamic persecution and ethinic-cleansing of 700,000 Hindus in Kashmir, or the US Baptist-sponsored Christian terrorism and ethnic cleansing in the north eastern states of India.Â
It is laughable that Mr. Thomas believes the reports of the US government agencies even after the same agencies claimed that Iraq had WMD. Have you found WMD Mr. Thomas? Is it naivete or is it lack of scruples?
US-funded Christian churches have built churches without the slightest constraints in India. In fact, they have churches blocking most prominent temples in India, built with the only intent of aggravating the Hindu sentiments. In contrast, in the USA, zoning laws are invoked to deny building rights to Hindu temples, and every Hindu temple built in the USA had to go through expensive litigations to win their constitutional rights. Please note that such zoning laws are never invoked when a Christian church is built.
Finally, it is the duty of every American to critique Christianity, and pave the way for its destruction. Christianity is a hate-filled evil cult. It has been responsible for most genocides in history. It is against humanity, truth and justice. If someone wishes good for America, he should strive to destroy this dangerous cult in the USA, and to wean Americans from the poisonous grips of this cult.
Christians have as much right to proselytize as do the Nazis - and I am being generous here. Please see my 'in press' papers, "Can Christians Proselytize?" and "From The Holy Cross To The Holocaust."
If Mr. Thomas is very keen on fighting for religious freedom, he must be informed that religiious freedom merely a subset of the freedom of speech. The church-controlled states in India banned The Da Vinci code movie as well as novel. He could very well start his 'crusade' demanding that those bans be lifted, instead of pontificating Hindus.
Finally, Mr.Thomas, I make no distinction between a fundamentalist Christian and another who claims to be an agnostic but has sympathies for Jesus. Both are equally dangerous and the latter is cunning as well. To put it bluntly, Christianity is based upon the Bible, and whatever you make of Jesus is from that text. The Bible is a hate filled text. For an informative reading on Jesus and Christianity, please see the two ebooks:
Jesus Christ: An Artifice For Aggression http://hamsa.org/artifice-intro.htm and Psychology Of Prophetism http://voiceofdharma.com/books/pp/
It is often better to read up on facts than imagine a Jesus that never was. In short, if you remove from the Bible the borrowings from Buddhism, Paganism and Hinduism, all you have is anti-Semitic hate-mongering.
I am afraid that the Arabs have been consistently fooling Europeans. Two thousand years ago, they fooled your ancestors into accepting Christianity. Very soon they might fool you into accepting Islam. Is it not time that all of you stop being the sheep and become the shepherd?
