In case there are any Hindus reading, who still think that the cross sign on an Indian coin is no cause for alarm - in spite of the links posted by Dhu indicating how this is both a crusading and missionary cross - because they think it's merely a symbol 'celebrating the composite culture of India', then they need to read the following. (Also, what composite culture? Unless the christoterrorism of the Syrian, Portuguese, British christos and today's Indian christo converts is called 'culture' and seen as having anything to do with India... - well, no, the terrorism only has to do with the evil ideology.)
It's best to <b>read the following in context of the entire page, which is about the means by which much of S Korea has been made to convert to christotyranny</b>, but I'm quoting the relevant bits:

What 'composite culture' in Korea, you ask? And I ask: what does christianity have to do with secularism? Because the cross is enforced, yet the millennia-old sacred Dragon symbol of Korea is denied:

I know the links above have been posted at IF at least 3 times before, but I <b>can't stress enough</b> how every Indian following Dharmic religion needs to go read through the 'Christoterrorism in Korea' timelines at those two links at least once. And also see the (very distressing) images of christoterrorism in action at http://www.buddhapia.com/eng/tedesco/pic1/list.html.
This cross on the 2-rupee coin is no joke. In Korea such goings-on were followed/accompanied by destruction and desecration of Buddhist pagodhas and temples of the Ancient Korean Religion, and general persecution of Buddhists and followers of Ancient Korean Religion (and it is still going on). Just like in India.

Christoislamism is not a western religion. In fact, it's not a legitimate middle-eastern religion either. It's an aberration. Tend to think of it as an Abrahamic heresy.
Western religions are not 'simplistic religions for simple minds', nor are the Canaanite religions (and its descendents, of which the OT scholars say Judaism is one, since they share the Elohim and cosmology). The ancient Arabian belief system, which also revolves around many Gods, is not designed for simple minds either.
Concerning western religions, I haven't found anything to fault in Hellenismos, rather found a great deal to admire and a lot of similarities with our Hinduism and Japan's Shinto. Hellenismos' followers to this very day are wise, artistic, literate and very good people; and its gracious Gods and beliefs are what inspires them to rise in this to the heights of their Ancient Greek ancestors. I feel the same about the corresponding Gods of Ancient Rome.
Also, have since childhood been a big fan of Donar (=Thor). To me, he does indeed make the Thunder in the lands of north Europe <!--emo&
