My friend—and I repeat, my friend: Place a mirror at an angle between a pile of trash and surrounding trees, then circle halfway around it. From one angle, you will see only the trash; from another, you will see only the trees. My sense tells me that within you lies a resentment cloaked in moral justice, which has driven you toward this narrow view focused solely on ISIS. For your information, it was Muslims who fought ISIS; we all renounced them and designated them a terrorist organization until we eliminated them. They even slaughtered Egyptian captives in Libya. Their invocation of religion does not invalidate the Oneness of the Divine; rather, it impugns their application, which is warped by their own distorted desires and used as a cover for their actions.
In Hinduism, if I were to turn my mirror toward human evil, I would also find pretexts for hatred and bring forth evidence to confirm it. However, my mirror would be distorted by the emotion of anger, which would blind me to the inner vision of tranquility and spirituality within Hindu thought. Do you understand my point? I believe once you calm down, you will.
Unfortunately, my response may not appear immediately because I am currently under 'probation,' where my posts must be reviewed before being published; so please excuse me if I am late in replying. This is how we will calmly understand one another—at a table based on the desire to understand the 'Other' and not projecting the actions of a few onto the whole. Otherwise, if we unleash hatred, we will find in every ideology and religion that which condemns it and makes us hate its adherents.
As for desertification and your other arguments, they are also a cover for the anger within your soul. 'Emotional blindness' is a dangerous condition that veils the truth from its owner. My intention in my signature is not the exclusion of others, but the adherence to truth and justice, even toward those who are unfair. Look at the words of Gandhi or the love poems in the Hinduism you admire, then look within yourself to see with the eye of insight: Is what you feel the truth, or merely a shackle preventing you from seeing the truth? This is the question?
