If he’s anti muslim, good!!
the only good muslim is a dead one!
That’s a very Muslim thing to say.
I did not say anything about sending checks. You responded to the wrong person.
Most of India is very safe for Christians to openly practice their religion.
Not in my experience. And not anywhere I have been, INCLUDING Tamil Nadu.
Cops busted into a church I serve and beat everyone in the congregation and arrested the pastors because the caste leaders did not like hearing their music - even though 2 different temples in the village had over 70 loudspeakers set up BLASTING their 7 days festival 24/7 with rotating chanters and singers.
They were beaten and arrested because their gathering offended the local Hindus, even though it was within a church. They were told they could not meet in the church during any of the Hindu festivals - of which there are MANY.
The persecutions that have occurred either tend to be caste and economics tinged as in Orissa or reactions to various non-Catholic missionaries passing pamphlets calling Hindu gods as demons.
Hindus in India often create an excuse for persecution and violence against Christians.
I watched a mob break into a home and beat a man and terrorize his family after the man had baptized seven people in a river canal right next to six water buffalos that were being washed. They charged him with defiling their god and had him arrested after they beat him up and tore his home apart.
Americans assume this type of persecution only happens in Islamic countries. In India - it happens a lot more frequently than most are aware.
Christians walk on eggshells and live in a constant state of worry alongside their Hindu neighbors in the areas of India I have lived and been. They never know when they are going to be cheated, have their electric wires cut, prohibited from fresh water, or denied what it was they paid for - simply because they are low caste and Christian. They can do good things to serve their neighbors, including making provisions and inviting them to feasts - but those same neighbors will turn on them in a split second given a chance.
Such is my own personal experience in those areas I have lived and served.
that's not strictly true -- they want Indian culture, so the recent Indianization of Christianity (in outward sense, less core meaning) eliminates that thrust against Christainity)
Rajiv Gandhi wasn’t a converted Christian...
Roman Catholics are not only Goans. There are many in Mangalore, Tamil Nadu and Punjab and other places, not Goans
Now if this was outside Bombay I'd say maybe, but Bombay, very difficult
i'm sorry to say I doubt this, but please could you check?
Which part of Bombay? Bandra East? Borivali? Matterpakaday?
I’ve read — all of that emboldening is directed against Moslems and Pakistan
That's great news. India is poised to become the next economic powerhouse.
Sad to say, as the West declines in power, the next century will belong to India and China. I'm encouraged by the fact that Christianity has taken hold in China. I'm not so optimistic regarding Christianity in India, but I am optimistic about their economic future, and their ability to resist the spread of Mohammedanism.
The article does point out that he's been denied a US visa.
Now that's a start! Anybody who has been denied a US visa must be superior to its President, a known traitor!
and where did the mob break into the man's home?
i'm not doubting you,just want to know -- I've not seen anything of this sort in Bombay or in Tamil Nadu or Kerala
>>P.S....”The New Republic” (sourced above) is a long-time liberal, Obama-loving, gay marriage loving, leftist propaganda spewing, etc. etc. you-know-the-drill, fish-wrap magazine.
I’m surprised it took so long for this to be pointed out explicitly.
If these guys are attacking Modi so viciously, he can’t be all bad, and quite possibly will be very good for India.
Absolutely!
Thanks for the overview.
You are not comprehending my posts. I did not say SIL had any trouble wiring money at any time. I will not reply further.
If I answer that you'll ask for the street and address and unit. What's with you?
Wiki says he was.
You ARE doubting Invar just as you've cast doubt on the information concerning my wife's dear relatives. I don't know why but you've got some weird, creepy, obsessive need to defend everything Modi.
