Bhai may your Allah give you a place in heavens. May you have the big eyed ones.
I have accepted the message given by you......but I reject the message given by that paedophile..........your message is clear, simple and makes sense.......... so let us be at peace..

mahfari: agreed. I am all for using our own minds. and my mind also tells me that not all of us are going to read al beruni in the original like you or maharana (who says he plans to do that). nor are all of us going to go around collecting original evidence from pottery shards and deciphering ancient edicts.

so it is useful to read some properly researched history books with documented sources of data as well in order to increase our knowledge and understanding.

Re: # 94 Dear Jang Mahayana school began in 100 AD under Kanishak's influence and 10th century the idols began in Gandhara and it was conscious and liberal decision in those times to come out of narrow clutches of Hinayana/Nihayana to propagate this belief among masses.Were there Buddha idols in Greek?

Picasso's art has symbols of Maya and Inca civilization, does it rob him of his own Picassohood? The learning and assimilation of technique does not obliterate or undertone the basic idea of article Mahayana began in gnadhara and it introduced idols in the Buddhist ideology, back in 5th century in buddhsit temples in South India there were no idols read Oxford History of Indian Art . it is Gandhara art, before greeks there were parts of buddha sculptured not whole body with face, it was in Gandhara that whole body was developed and Mahayana school's bases were laid dwon.

take things not from India or Pakistan's perspctive read them from open heart and mind and embark on footsteps of great sage Krishna Murti at least... think freely !

Re: # 102

Bhai jaan,

Makhan chor is not just one of the tota maina stories, it is an ingredient of a vaishnava idolator's faith.

mahfari: no offence taken my friend. just wanted to clarify where i was coming from on this.

"Nooooo credit goes to a momeen for "preservation" of my culture. we idolators collectively "preserved" it DESPITE the muslim rulers!!! "

So Hindus in India are not credited for the 150 million muslims for not succumbing to haegonomy of Hindu despite anger wrath ,riots & discimination.!
Muslims are equally "preserved" DESPITE hindu rule ....
