My faith

We may not always have faith in what others believe, but, since we all share common earth and resources we need to respect intellectual space each of us occupy. There must be something attractive about Islam that almost half of human population follow it. There is something very binding about Hinduism that millions follow it and have stood with their faith despite options of several new beliefs thrown at them, which had emerged much later.

Every religion has a backyard which has illogical and irrational dogmas unpalatable for others. It is this part of religion which is highlighted by few rogue followers and detractors to sully the particular belief. However it must be admitted that compared to other religions, majority followers of Islam have always done very little to make others understand the real goodness of their faith and have thus let rogue elements propagate those dogmas which should be better ignored and left out as aberrations. Islam is seen to be what these rogues project. Of course this also gives convenient and powerful opportunity to the unscrupulous elements of other faiths to deride Islam. That's way Sufi tradition was one with deepest penetration into other faiths like Hindus and helped bring harmony in both communities.
