Why would the religions of Buddhism and Christianity be appealing to the lower caste members in India? The Indian goverment has gone so far as to forbid it. Is this right?

If so is it really anyone's place to put blame on anyone? If fate is real then everything is supposedly predetermined. How can you be mad at someone or put the blame on them when they had no control over their situation. Furthermore, how can anyone be rewarded or congratulated if it was already in the cards. This is like giving the Nobel Peace Prize to someone who simply won the lottery. It doesn't make any sense. Also if we can use fate to explain everything what does this trace back to? There must've been one triggering moment that set the ball in motion and since fate controls this figurative ball does anything really have any purpose aside from the "great" fate driven purpose?

If Islam died, Judaism?

I think Christianity is moot since we do not go to wars in the name of relgions. But whatever, sure , Christianity too.-- if it's not practically already dead.

Then how do you reconcile your belief with the scientific findings that homosexuals have distinctly different brain make-ups as compared to heterosexuals? Also, what about the animals that have been found to display homosexual behavior?

And before the accusations start pouring in, I would like to say that I am not an atheist, Satanist, etc (not to pin a stigma on those things or anything). I just cannot ignore the findings of modern science.

The current Bible's "Son of God" expression is not accurate and is far away from the Truth as far as Islam is concerned. Allah Almighty never beget any son. He corrected the Jews' and Christians' "Son of God" misunderstanding in the Noble Quran:

"And they say: "(God) Most Gracious has begotten offspring." Glory to Him! they are (but) servants raised to honour. (The Noble Quran, 21:26)"

The people whom the Jews and Christians call "sons of God" in the Bible, are only servants of Allah Almighty that were raised with honour. These people are Allah Almighty's Messengers and Prophets. GOD Almighty doesn't need a son nor a wife to help Him in anything. He is the Absolute, One, Living True King, and GOD Almighty:

"Say: He is God, the One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him. (The Noble Quran, 112:1-4)"

The Bible too claims this about GOD Almighty [1] [2], but yet Christians still insist on insulting GOD Almighty (sorry to say that) and divide Him into three gods! Jesus peace be upon him himself refuted the trinity deception and never really praised it in the Bible. He even worshiped GOD Almighty Himself!

....in front of every Capital, in front of the White HOuse, in front of every official state building in the West.
When so many of them chant death to the West,. this is their religion,
It has NOTHING to do with anything any Western 'wrong" --besides just being free and rich.
Their hatred of the West and the Great Satan has nothing to do with anything we ever did to them.
They hated us long before 9-11. They tried to bomb the WTC in the early 90's as well.
Why do you think that they hate the West though we make their countries rich through oil money?
If we (all Western countries) cut off our ties with them and converted to renewable energy, they would choke on dust, they would have NO financial support from the West besides Charity.

The lastest Noble Prize peace prize winner, Muhammad Yunus :says
Attack the causes of poverty and you
remove the roots of conflict.
Jeffrey D. Sachs Yale economist has made the bold claims, of “We actually have within our ability, because of the power of technology and because of the phenomenal wealth that exists in the world, an opportunity that is remarkable and that, I think, is a great danger to not take." To end Poverty

This is the same viewpoint held by myself. It’s the same attitude valued by Maine’s Hospitality House Inc. Hospitality House Inc., protects lives of the homeless and aims to debunk the myths which keeps poverty mired in the culture.
