This refers to my Letter in DV of Jan. 1, 2010 p.17: “Mleccha embraces Islam”.
I was exposed to Islam first when I was about ten. My cousins were Muslim, being part Arab. They were very kind and did not push their religion, but answered some questions I had.
BUDHA FIGURES IN QURAN
Shortly after meeting them. I began my own research into the religions of the world, which lasted for about 24 years. After such a long research of all major religions and various minor branches and new religious movements, I finally decided to study the first religion I was exposed to in my quest. It was amazing it really took so long to consider Islam.
In China, there was a tradition which sought to unite all the major religious traditions of the world: Taoism, Confucianism, Budhism, Christianity and Islam. In 1684, Huang Dehui realized the major non-Hindu religions of Asia, Christianity, and Islam were really one. Prophet Muhammad in the Quran revealed that Allah sent apostles to every nation. The People of the Book, who will also be rewarded with paradise, in addition to consisting of righteous Christians and Muslims, also consists of the Sabians.
I studied all the movements which claim descent from Huang Dehui and found none of them embracing the last of the major religions; Islam. Besides, Indian scholars unraveled the mystery of the mysterious prophet of the Quran named Dhul Kafila, the Saint of Kapila. This man was none other than the Budha.
CHRIST CALLS FOR SWORD
Having realized Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar’s Navayana Budhism was completely compatible with Islam, I was that much closer to a life-changing experience.
I also noticed that Jesus Christ advocated only one god in the original Greek of the New Testament. The three-in-one trinity making three gods equal to one god is nowhere in the Bible, not in the original language..
CHURCH FORGETS DALITS
Jesus said to turn the other cheek in a fight, but to get ready for the battle by securing a sword. In other words, be peaceful as Christians, but prepare for a time when you have the might to defend yourselves in later times.
If Christians were true to the teachings of Jesus, they would join righteous Muslims in fighting corruption and immorality of the world, con demning the utter reprehen sible treatment of the Dalits. I even found the Prophet Muhammad mentioned by name by the Prophet Hosea in Hosea 9:6-7.
The final factor was Chris- tians’ large disregard for Pal- estinians in Israel, Dalits in India, and Muslims through- out Europe. (This is not true of the Dalit Christian organi- zations, which follow the teachings of Jesus correctly by treating all members of society as equal.)
