Pope, Prophet and Policies.............

The context is the Pope's speech which many Muslims feel is offending Islam.
Read this link for some excerpts of the Pope's speech :

Curiously, the Pope hints to an "argument against violent conversion". I wonder whether he thought about the Crusades of the past and the current "induced" conversions in Asian, African & Latin American countries, including India.

This link speaks about the Muslim protests against the Pope's remarks :

But did the Islamic protestors think what would the followers of other faiths think, when Muslims quote the Koran and call them "Infidels" and "Kafirs" ? (Similarly the Christian proselytisers call the non-Christians as "sinners" - 'Paavigale .....').

And read this for the next news :

But, in all this discourse, imagine the Hindus being involved for something. The Hindus would have been called "fundamentalist", "intolerant" and what not. But the truth is, Hindu faith does not believe in conversion or elimination of the non-believers.

Let all the people who talk ill of Hindus and Hindutva think.......

All are equal before law. But IS THE LAW EQUAL FOR ALL ? The Civil Law is not. So we need a Common Civil Code. What does the Indian Constitution say ? Quote 44. Uniform civil code for the citizens.- The State shall endeavour to secure for the citizens a uniform civil code throughout the territory of India. Unquote So, it is the duty of the Indian Government to implement a Common Civil Code in India. And if any Government functionary or MLA or MP speaks against Common Civil Code, that person defaults on his promise of allegiance to the Indian Constitution. Thanks........... V "Hope has two...
