You can believe some one broke the moon into half and someone got his revelation from a burning bush and someone got all the animals in the whole world on a wooden boat but not flying monkey. Lol the hypocrisy. My flying spaghetti monster is more real than yours.

Great now you understand

Beleif in God = leap of faith

Beleif in a flying monkey or large stone penis = weird

???????

We don't worship any man.

There are dozens of sects of "god men" your muslim brothers pray to .


All the old pagan worship of men and monkeys and dicks and demons is gone and ditched
I see you traded worshiping the ancient astronomic gods symbolism for cosmic karma, creation and destruction , to a guy who claimed he heard voices in his head .


Dear god i'm so freaking enlightened :o: every mental ward in my city will create hundreds of religions

The mongols became Muslims to do the intellectual subversion of Islam and to ruin arabic culture and they succeeded.



That's what I am saying. Buddhist Mongols have succeeded in creating doubts in Islam and theology and ideology of Islam with contradictions. This is what they wanted :)

And Persian believe in supremacy of their Xeres and his culture not arab

They became muslim because like millions of others they saw the light

They left their jahilat and paganism abd became worshippers of the one true God

They then crushed hindu kingdoms slaughtering millions of hindus yo spread the empires of islam into new pagan territory

We will not listen to some human making his own God and asking people to follow his made God. Though his made God is a god too. But enforcing on others is not our choice

Fighting war because of religion and bhakti values is stupidity. The war is fought for righteous/dharm. Too high for you ..

You mind your business. When I am not asking you to leave Islam and follow Sanatan Dharm .

You don't have to ask. or enforce or advertise. This is something which a Human has to find itself..
otherwise.this is more jahaliyat.

Taj Mahal is completely in line with Islamic values and architecture.

No statues or idols, no paintings of humans or animals, just plain Islamic domed architecture with four Minarets surrounding it.

I spoke to some Hindu girls and they told me there is nothing Hindu about Taj Mahal. Looks like my Hindu friends are smarter than your Muslim friends. :D

LOL. I remember about a decade ago Pakistanis used to froth at the mouth at sight of a statue. Almost all Muslims of the world used to be alarmed at the prospect of images, sculptures, or painting of the human and animal kingdom and go into apoplectic rage. Now it seems you seem to be in a hurry to embrace jihaliyat.

For the little better reason than Saudis not allowing Non Muslims to visit Mecca hahahaha

I tell you a secret. Any one who is dharmic can buy here, but not for muslims. Because it will cause problem for muslims when we spray GauMutra around the vicinity. So good for them only if they don't come. How concerned we are for Muslims see.

Its pretty common with the jains , nearly all the jains I known are from gated communities. Its more than religion.

A township strictly meant for Brahmins claims to revive the “lost traditions” of the Brahmin community. The architecture, the lifestyle and culture will ensure a “Brahmanic way of life.”

Welcome to The Vedic Village- Shankar Agraharam, a ‘Brahmin only’ housing project that was planned in the outskirts of Bengaluru in 2013.

With the launch of the township, national and international media picked up the story and reported the disturbing trend of ‘segregated housing’ and ‘housing apartheid’ in India. A group of activist lawyers wrote to the state government and human rights commission to immediately scrap the project because it promoted caste-discrimination.

Three years down the lane, Vedic Village is nearing completion and has received the ‘proud’ approval of the Department of Town and Country planning in Karnataka. Project managers even claim to have sold 900 units of the planned 1800 in the integrated township.

emancipation of the living conditions of the Brahmin community and to closely work towards creating a liveable environment, and assets for the future generation of the community. Source: www.vedicgraham.com
The housing project is not open to non-brahmins, but that isn’t the only problem with the project. The website and the brochures repeatedly emphasise that it is a township for the ‘superior’.

Our plots are clearly earmarked for Brahmins only…Our motto, to give the highest to the highest in all respects. Source: www.vedicgraham.com

The sales and marketing representative of Shankar Agrahara explained that non-Brahmins are allowed to visit as friends or relatives. The domestic staff and the work force in the township could also be non-brahmin.

To own property, any one member of the family has to be a Brahmin. The domestic staff and the workers could be non Brahmins, because we cannot do that much screening. The Brahmins will not sweep roads anyway. We will have to understand that there are some restrictions within the community as well.Nitesh, Sales and Marketing Executive, Shankar Agrahara Vedic Village
The builder’s website highlights “eleven reasons” to buy a Brahmin plot in Bangalore. The most prominent being: “it is considered the birth place of Indian IT revolution started by a Brahmin Mr N R Narayana Murthy…making it a land of opportunities.”

Bengaluru-based Supreme Court lawyer and activist KV Dhananjay was amongst the first to raise a voice against the discriminatory housing project. He wrote to the state government, the Human Rights Commission and the Home Ministry in Delhi. The Ministry of Home Affairs said it had referred the matter to the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment. There have been no further updates in the case.

Karnataka is the only state in India which has multi-level, multi-layered and strict laws against land use. There are multiple authorities that need to clear a project and they are empowered to stall or scrap any construction or project that misuses land resources. With its mandate, Shankar Agrahara is completely against the law. Built on agricultural land, it does not justify any public interest. But what is appalling is that the project hasn’t been stopped.KV Dhananjay, Supreme Court Lawyer

The Vedic village project received approval during the BJP rule in Karnataka. In 2013, the Congress government took power under Siddaramaiah, a supposedly socialist, secular, anti-caste chief minister. However, nothing seems to have stopped the completion of the township.

Segregated housing is not new to India. From muslim ghettos like Juhapura that emerged in Gujarat after the 2002 communal riots to the “dream homes for elite Muslim brotherhood” in Delhi and townships for Dalits in Ahmedabad, who find it hard to live with dignity in the community spaces, the trend is certainly not on the decline.

Termed as “neighbourhoods of exile” by urban sociologist Loic Wacquant the Brahmin, Jain, Parsi, Dalit or Muslim-only colonies claim to revive the cultural ethos. In reality, however, all they do is pose a serious threat to the social fabric and the idea of living in non-discriminatory, inclusive neighbourhoods.

Update:

The Quint’s story on the ‘Brahmin only township’ in Karnataka has ignited a storm on its social media platforms. There are those who are shocked to hear about a township where non-Brahmins are not allowed to own a house. And others that are disturbed and angry about the fact that the housing project is still in execution despite objections.

The author of this piece has responded to most of the queries and criticism here.
