"Blaming Hinduism for Caste discrimination is like blaming Christianity for racial discrimination."

This is such a crock, I won't bother reading the rest of your post.

Are you soo bigoted that you cannot even dare introspect sir ?

There is a saying in India : Those who live in glass houses, shouldnt throw stones at others. Think about it.

You seem to think that only you have the right to criticize other religions in a highly abrasive and deprecating manner, while turning a blind eye to your own side's fallacies ?

Isnt it a fact that the southern baptists said they had religious approval for propagating and sustaining the sickening and highly barbaric institution of slavery ??

Isnt it a fact that they split from the mainline Baptist church, solely in order to sustain this inhuman and highly revolting practice of dehumanizing black people ?

Isnt it a fact that they didnt even apologize for their not-too-insignificant role in sustaining this evil abominance till early 1990s ????

Isnt it a fact that racial segregation was sanctioned by many white southern churches, even while Rev. King was fighting against it ?

Just look at American society today, people still are very segregated and usually people of each race stick to one another.. compared to India, where Hindus, Christians and Sikhs get along very well, atleast in Urban society, in US, its hard to find whites, blacks and hispanics get along that well along the same lines even in big cities.

BTW, why is it that wherever there was/is apartheid and racial segregation, there is Christianity... is that a mere coincidence sir ? If christianity indeed is so peaceful and tolerant, why was most of Africa and Latin America colonized by "bible thumping" christians, who later propagated apartheid and racial discrimination in the countries they occupied ?
