Our biasness against Islam is too deeprooted....almost everychild brought up in a hindu household in ways(sometimes subtle sometimes blatant) hears why (s)he should be wary of them...an intersting example was in my own family...My mom was excited and happy to buy another hindu idol to add to the already long list and kool with us getting us a symbol of christianism at the idea pf the suggestion of getting a poor replica of a Mazaar she refused point blank....Christianity is still seen as a progressive religion and Islam as a not so progressive one and our own somewhere in the middle?? but then the concept of progress changes from time to time....
am still thinking how come we accepted certain aspects of Islamic culture as progressive and wonderful but not like as a whole and with the other invaders (the christians) we fall backwards and consider it all good....
