Afghanistan — hopeless place. The ONLY thing they have going for them is their opium crops—which is used mostly by the West. Ironic.

That is how Benghazi should have played out.

From the Internet: In today’s India, promoters of the most radical fringe of Hindu nationalism within Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) want to constrict Indian diversity and enforce an imagined civilizational purity they call Hindutva. Their campaign has already demonstrated its power to oppress and kill Muslims, destroy their mosques, force the “reconversion” of Christians and Buddhists, wade into censorship, limit critical or analytical scholarship and police the arts. Hindu zealots drove the country’s most celebrated painter, M. F. Hussein, into self-imposed exile in London, where he died in 2011.

========================================

I didn't know that the Indians considered themselves so pure. I thought that was a Pakistani thing. "Pak" means "pure" and "stan" is "country." Thus the Pakistanis are from the Land of the Pure.

However, most of the world considers the Indians and Pakistanis the same root people, separated only by their religions.

The Hindu pantheon contains some 330 millions gods and goddesses, some people, some animal, some objects and some fantastical creatures of someone's imagination. Who knows.
Also in Hinduism women don't go to heaven. They must return to earth and be reincarnated as a man before they can get to heaven. No women in Hindu heaven, just men.

The Muslims just believe in Allah and Allah is NOT the loving father figure of the Judeo-Christian faith. All people are Allah's slaves. The common Arab Muslim name of Abdallah means "slave of Allah."

Between the Hinduism's ban on women in heaven and the Muslim vision of being Allah's slaves for eternity, I am VERY grateful to our good Lord for making me who I am.

So which You Tube video caused the protest? Maybe it was this one?

I’m guessing there wasn’t an election in India that paralyzed their President.
