I doubt it, not to mention that Islam is the second largest religion in India.
Besides, how can a statue be divine if it easily breaks into pieces after falling onto the floor? Tongue

I think you missed the point,which is that religious belief is more an accident of birth than anything else.Had you been born into a Hindu family,you would be a Hindu today, not a Muslim.

Your comment about the statue is simplistic and indicates a distressing ignorance of Hinduism. Before making more fatuous comments, I suggest actually reading some Hindu texts.


If you read nothing else, I suggest "The Bhagavad Gita" (The Song of God) .

I should also point out there is some disagreement among Muslim scholars about whether Hindus should be included as 'People of the Book" and accorded Dhimmi status.

Quote:The Bhagavad Gītā (Sanskrit: भगवद्गीता, IPA: [ˈbʱəɡəʋəd̪ ɡiːˈtɑː], Song of God), also more simply known as Gita, is a Hindu scripture produced from the colloquy given by Sri Krishna to Arjuna during the Kurukshetra War. Its philosophies and insights are intended to reach beyond the scope of religion and to humanity as a whole . It is at times referred to as the "manual for mankind" and has been highly praised by not only prominent Indians such as Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi but also Aldous Huxley, Albert Einstein, J. Robert Oppenheimer, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Carl Jung and Herman Hesse.[1][2] It is considered among the most important texts in the history of literature and philosophy.[3] The Bhagavad Gita comprises exactly 700 verses, and is a part of the Mahabharata. The teacher of the Bhagavad Gita is Lord Krishna, who is revered by Hindus as a manifestation of God (Parabrahman) itself,[3] and is referred to within as Bhagavan, the Divine One.[4]
