I am worried that there are too many jew hindu marriages going on in silicon valley
Just google up Hinjew
Also, consider Swami Dayanand's Hindu-Jew summit
While it is well and good, there is no need to grovel
He said Hinduism in only monotheistic
That is grovelling
Some forms of hinduism is monotheistic and some is polytheistic

<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->1. But G Sub, until Jews take their "Abraham and jealous God" and push it onto us, I don't see that they pose a threat to us. Nor we to them. Whatever they personally believe, unless they make it a public imposition - and particularly <i>onto people of other traditions</i> - how can it affect us?
2. One can be against Hindu-Jewish marriages on the ground that neither permits marrying outside the religion. But that is no reason to be against Judaism.
3. And when our side stops grovelling (that is, no compromises on who we are, to correspond with how we already have no requirement on them to compromise), then we can surely form some kind of unified front against terrorist ideologies - at least on the basis that neither of us (Hindus and Jews) want to be terrorised by christoislamism.
4. But it's not a "soft spot". People who don't terrorise us/the world are not our enemies. Live and let live. Make a case where they are a significant danger. Sandhya Jain's recent writings posted by Bodhi seems to indicate some kind of shady activity in Bharatam organised by US Jewish organisations for political purposes. Does this necessary reflect on Judaism itself and Israeli Jews as well? Or just American Jewish political lobbyists?
But I didn't mean to otherwise interrupt this thread. Keep going, I want to read what you and others have to write (in case there are many things on this matter that I am clueless about and that that is why this thread was started in the first place).
