What Ganesha means to a Muslim like me

[gau8av]

o my goodness .. you are not getting it... its ok.. As i said harmony is good celebrating each other's festivals are good too..but what i said you are just having a blind eye on to it.. three hugs to a hindu or rakhi or karva choth don't make any diffrence but the core issue's like worshiping idols does.. ,, for your understanding go through the article and then every page of the thread again

so if a muslim symbolically bows for a second to a deity just as part of some religious celebration thing it's a huge deal ? what's the punishment for committing such a big haram ? here they get a barfi or a ladoo and move on without making much of it.

around here, many urban educated people don't take religion that seriously, both hindu and muslim.

I don't think you have any business whatsoever to bother about how things are in India anyway.

Surah Al Baqrah
Verse 2.67
And [recall] when Moses said to his people, "Indeed, Allah commands you to slaughter a cow." They said, "Do you take us in ridicule?" He said, "I seek refuge in Allah from being among the ignorant."

I am not talking about what you think happened with Allah
You are not geeting my point....
It is not mandatory.to slaughter a cow.....here people have.slaughtered other animals during festives.....
If it can happen then i feel it should be enforced because it goes with both religion....

Gov isnt banning slaughter of animals....its banning only slaughtering of .cows.....

Maybe some Hindus can correct me if I'm wrong (including those from the loony tunes fringe), but its not really the idol that's worshipped per se right? But the deity it represents.

We worship atash (fire) as a sign of the purity of Ahura Mazda. Not fire itself.

Correct....the idols represents the lords...
We dont worship a stone in which ganesh is carved ....we worship ganesh himself

There you have it.

How is it different then to the dargahs of Shias and Sufis.

Or the rock at Kaba?

I really don't get this "idol worship" frothing frenzy.
