It was the first protest by the Muslims in the country against terrorism.

India is het enige land ter wereld waar een niet Indian resident president kan worden.

Het is ook belachelijk dat India geen Hindoe staat is.
Hindu Dharm heeft Bharat gekozen om zichzelf te ontplooien.
Maar de politici van India laten andere religien toe vanwege hun zogenaamde 'tolerantie'.
Hierdoor vervaagt het Hindoeisme en kunnen andere religien hun wortels nestelen in India.
Seculariteit is slechte zaak. Staat en kerk zijn nooit gescheiden omdat het mensenwerk is.
En mensen kan je niet scheiden van hun religie.

Helemaal mee eens!

Dit is ook wel leuk om te weten..................... :)

Title 3 - Proclamation 5018 of February 3, 1983
The President YEAR OF THE BIBLE, 1983
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation

Of the many influences that have shaped the United States of America into a distinctive nation and people, none may be said to be more fundamental and enduring than the Bible.


Deep religious beliefs stemming from the Old and New Testaments of the Bible inspired many of the early settlers of our country, providing them with the strength, character, convictions, and faith necessary to withstand great hardship and danger in this new and rugged land. These shared beliefs helped forge a sense of common purpose among the widely dispersed colonies - a sense of community which laid the foundation for the spirit of nationhood that was to develop in later decades.


The Bible and its teachings helped form the basis for the Founding Fathers’ abiding belief in the inalienable rights of the individual, rights which they found implicit in the Bible’s teachings of the inherent worth and dignity of each individual. This same sense of man patterned the convictions of those who framed the English system of law inherited by our own nation, as well as the ideals set forth in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.


For centuries the Bible’s emphasis on compassion and love for our neighbor has inspired institutional and governmental expressions of benevolent outreach such as private charity, the establishment of schools and hospitals, and the abolition of slavery.


Many of our greatest national leaders - among them Presidents Washington, Jackson, Lincoln, and Wilson - have recognized the influence of the Bible on our country’s development. The plainspoken Andrew Jackson referred to the Bible as no less than “the rock on which our Republic rests.??? Today our beloved America and, indeed, the world, is facing a decade of enormous challenge. As a people we may well be tested as we have seldom, if ever, been tested before. We will need resources of spirit even more than resources of technology, education, and armaments. There could be no more fitting moment than now to reflect with gratitude, humility, and urgency upon the wisdom revealed to us in the writing that Abraham Lincoln called “the best gift God has ever given to man… But for it we could not know right from wrong.???


The Congress of the United States, in recognition of the unique contribution of the Bible in shaping the history and character of this nation, and so may of its citizens, has by Senate Joint Resolution 165 authorized and requested the President to designate the year 1983 as the “Year of the Bible.???

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, in recognition of the contributions and influence of the Bible on our Republic and our people, do hereby proclaim 1983 the Year of the Bible in the United States. I encourage all citizens, each in his or her own way, to reexamine and rediscover its priceless and timeless message.


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this third day of February, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventh.

Hoeveel invloed heeft de bijbel op de Nederlandse staat? Wat denken jullie?

[- Prem -]

Zelfs Pakistan heeft meer hersenen dan die zogenaamde seculieren in India.


Hieronder wat info........
In the September issue of `Takbeer', a renowned weekly of Pakistan,
Dr. Sarfaraj Naimi, the Director in Chief of the Organisation of
Madrasas, makes a revelation which is worth our attention. The
Central Minister Saleh Faizal Hayat of Pakistan is carrying on
countrywide raids against madrasas and banning the Jehadi activities
being carried on there. Dr. Sarfaraj Naimi opines –"Students from
many countries used to come to Pakistan for getting religious
education but because this facility here is closed now, they are all
taking admissions in madrasas of Bharat. The students being educated
in the madrasas used to go to other Islamic countries and worked as
cultural ambassadors of Pakistan. But this flow is now going towards
Bharat and Bharat will reap full benefit out of it. Bharat, however,
is inimical to Islam and therefore the teaching there can be harmful
to us and other Islamic countries. Will not Bharat pollute the minds
of those Pakistani Students who are going from here to Bharat for
their religious education in madrasas situated there?"

Door zo weinige reacties concludeer ik dat hindoe studenten weinig tot niets weten van de situatie in India.

Of heb ik het verkeerd?

Zou wel kunnen kloppen. Want als je echt wilt weten wat er werkelijk gebeurt dan moet je de lokale kranten via internet gaan lezen.

Ik weet wel het een en ander, maar ook weer niet alles.

Maar verder met de topic. Moeten er toezichtorganisaties opgezet worden, om te controleren waar het geld in gestoken wordt en moeten de veiligheidsdiensten beter hun best doen om geldstromen in de gaten te houden???
