I think ALL of us who have been filtered out (or ASKING to be filtered out) should form a ``support group``!:))

samina,

can you ever pen something on your own??????

i don`t give a damn about wikipedia........where any fool can inoput.


anyways u are dead wrong on sikhism.


sikhism was a reform movemnet that challenged the prevalent ethos of both Islam and Hinduism.....it rejected both dogmas.

Akbar respected all saints (superstiious???) ..... like Ranjit Singh, he was an illiterate person.
he jst showed respect towards the gurus of the time.....nothing more - WHAT support???


pls use your own brain - instead of copying from wikipedia.

Saminasha,
Your source is so polarised and biased. Religous persecution reach it`s height under Shah Jahan and Aurengzeb to new limits. Aurengzeb was convinced by his Qazis that his mission in life is to convert all Indians into Islam. He did not eat his food till he had 60 KGs(approx 140 lbs) of Janeu(Hindu Sacred thread), in other words about 20,000-30,000 forced conversions in a day.

Is that your view point and you thinkt hat it is okay?

If Bush starts converting all of Muslims into Christianity by reasoning, financial incentives or co-orcion would you become a Christian?

You are only quoting one Mughal king(Akbar) who was realtively peaceful but what about 99% of the rest.

Kaura,

Do you like embarrassing yourself?


``Syncretism in Islam
The Druzes integrated elements of Ismaili Islam with Gnosticism and Platonism. Their practice of disguising themselves as followers of the dominant religion makes difficult to ascertain what is believed and what simulated. Several of the Jewish Messiah claimants like Jacob Frank and the donmeh ended mixing Cabalistic Judaism with Christianism and Islam. Sikhism blends Hinduism and Islam and was notably supported by the Mughal emperor Akbar, who wanted to consolidate the diverse religious communities in his empire. The Bahá`ís follow a prophet whom they consider a successor to Muhammad, and recognise Jesus, Moses, Buddha and Zoroaster amongst others as former prophets. Some have therefore considered it a syncretic faith.``
