Now, there is a difference of coinage of phrases. I don’t accept that phrase as liberalism. What you are describing is anarchism in religion or chaos. That is also a sort of liberalism, isn’t it? Free for all. One way of seeing it, observing it, would be… I mean, some observers would call it liberalism and some would call it chaos. So, I understand the situation to be a chaotic situation rather than a liberal situation. No, sir. We are reverting to the comparison, you see. All right. Now, understand the first point.
Now, second point, please. Islam. That by practice it has been observed that Islam is most oppressive ideologically. You mean oppressive in the sense that it only claims one god and does not permit you to worship other gods. I’m not taking it that way, sir. I’m taking, you see, Sunnis believe in one faith and Shias believe in another. No, but that is neither here nor there. No, sir, because it’s on the basis of faith. Please, just a minute. Because if you mean that, then in comparison Hinduism has exactly the same hard, tight compartments and they are very swear in maintaining those differences. And they are very intolerant of each other.
For instance, Aryans, Aryaism. Not Aryans, but Aryas, Majis. They are very intolerant of Brahmo Samajis or Sanatan Dharmis. And so are they of the others. And they have their own very strict mythology to follow. Not doctrine, but they have mythology, some sort of mythology. And each one has its own distinct mythology. So there are worshippers of Vishnu, worshippers of others and there have been fights going on between them previously. Only because politics has now predominated their imagination and pursuits in life. This is why they have been, these differences have been subjugated to unimportant, you know, a position of unimportance.
So, I think, say, Vishnu… What? My question, not about the question. The statement was why this difference? Why Islam is socially so tolerant and by faith in its ideology so oppressive? It’s not… Again, there is a difference of terminology. It’s not at all oppressive.
How could you call a faith oppressive and restrictive in its ideology when it says It says This is a straightforward declaration of the Holy Quran. Where is the oppression? I can’t see. Excuse me, if I hear you say the same, then we have some punishment for muqtad, isn’t it? No, not in Islam. I wonder which Islam you are following. Please.
