In India, they regard Islam as western, because it’s an imperialist, proselytizing religion. It’s eastern in that it negates individualism to the point of willful suicide as a means of warfare, but it does so for distinctly western goals, like the Japanese kamikaze pilots did. Most eastern religions are not interested in proselytizing, let alone world conquest. So A’jad can stop with the smug BS. He’s more western than he knows.
Well, Arabia IS to the west of India ....
But, I don’t agree that Buddhism and Hinduism are not “proselytizing”.
B&H have many, many forms of proselytism: martial arts, music, yoga, TM, etc etc are all forms of B&H “evangelism”.
