All this while Indian muslims were supposed to be the most moderate and tolerant ones. But this gentle face , represented by gems like the Honourable President APJ Kalam is now being torn into smithereens much like those Danish flags on the streets of Meerut or Delhi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Quereshi says he has enough capabilites to generate Rs 51 crores  + all the gold required for paying anyone assassinating Denmark's cartoonists.  Why Mr Quereshi how much did you collect for the Tsunami victims or the Earthquake victims ? Does islam hold taking of life  of an "offender"  much more important than saving lives of people in danger ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Mr Yaqoob Quereshi , insists that he has done nothing wrong, It was his duty to protect the dignity of the prophet and anyone opposing him is against islam.  Is that not outrageous. Why are the likes of Javed Akthar, Shabana Azmi of Amir Khan who lose no time to raise fingers on communal issues in Gujarat condemn Mr Quereshi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  I wouldnt have felt hurt so much if this was just another mullah-gone-crazy  phenomenon, Mr Quereshi is an elected representative of Indian Democracy openly making fun of the Indian Constitution.  Let us all ask the likes of Quereshi , who gives them the right to kill .. definitely not Allah&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11482242-114050873567900241?l=torchbearer-in.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://torchbearer-in.blogspot.com/feeds/114050873567900241/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11482242&amp;postID=114050873567900241' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11482242/posts/default/114050873567900241'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11482242/posts/default/114050873567900241'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torchbearer-in.blogspot.com/2006/02/does-haji-yaqoob-quereshi-have-right.html' title='Does Haji Yaqoob Quereshi have the right to decide on someones life'/><author><name>Ram</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06242122386187310643</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11482242.post-113662635158343583</id><published>2006-01-07T01:10:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-01-07T01:32:31.593-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Spiritual questions which probably never get answered</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;  There are so many times in those spiritual moments in  life we come across so many questions we never get any answers. A lot of times it is best not to bother about it.&lt;br /&gt;   Did you ever wonder, If there was just one God for everyone of us then why are we all different. Why I am sitting in a comfortable AC office while someone else has to toil in the sun.&lt;br /&gt;  In our philosophy we call it &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;KARMA. &lt;/span&gt;So yes karma it is but what led to my Karma ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When a baby is just born he has no karma ( atleast not from this life ) . So if God was eternally just as we all believe then there must have been some karma from the past which would decide wether he will grow in comfort or will lead a harsh life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok So let us take it for granted that there must have been karma before birth too , then when  did this karma business start. There must  have been some point in my life cycle ( across many births ) I must have started right .. because we all believe there was a Creation and at that point we were just clean slates.&lt;br /&gt;It was God who decided what karma I accumulate .. Remember in Gita he says&lt;br /&gt; http://www.bhagavadgitaasitis.com/18/61/en     ... &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Supreme Lord is situated in everyone's heart  and is directing the wanderings of all living entities  ....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;So if God was responsible for my karma then why am I to endure the results of my karma&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11482242-113662635158343583?l=torchbearer-in.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://torchbearer-in.blogspot.com/feeds/113662635158343583/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11482242&amp;postID=113662635158343583' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11482242/posts/default/113662635158343583'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11482242/posts/default/113662635158343583'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torchbearer-in.blogspot.com/2006/01/spiritual-questions-which-probably.html' title='Spiritual questions which probably never get answered'/><author><name>Ram</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06242122386187310643</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
