The most irreligious act in the name of religion is to divide the humanity. It's good that Mr.Zahid has raised the question of Dharma and this word has got nothing to do with the ordinary sense of religion. Dharma is an ancient Indian philosophical word what means an absolute truthful nature of a person. Do not bring Hinduism, Christianity or Islam in it. One needs to read and understand Upanishad to interpret Dharma which is much higher knowledge than any ordinary notion of religion. This is a kind of hypocrisy and ignorance to show allegiance to a certain faith without understanding the inherent message in it in the historical and social realities. Islam was a guidance to discipline the pagan Arabs of Mecca and its vicinity. A so called RAW agent is not making this, its true. On what logic one can drag a 7th century ideology in essence and spirit to this day? For example surah Anaam, verse 51 says, O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and Christians for friends. They are friends one to another. He among you who taketh them for friends is one of them". This injunction was right at that time to save the infant Islam but do you have to adhere to it now? In another surah the Muslims have been asked to kill the non believers wherever they find them. But the extremists are still following these commandments although these instructions are irrelevant now. Blind faith is not a religion and in the realm of intellectual business blind faith is not an acceptable commodity. Does not harm your faith by not becoming accommodative, if you do you will only encourage the extremists. I would request Mr Zahid to be moderate in choosing English words. The notion of sin is very old and rusted. Be benevolent and speak reason. Another issue is with

Is there any recent history that Islam has done that?
