One doesn’t need to be a rocket scientist to understand that the American media is after Islam, more for political reason than anything else. Western world, as a whole, is after Islam because if the Arab countries get united, they would pose a direct threat to the West. Besides, American media is mainly controlled by the Jews. All the main TV, radio, newspaper, magazines are owned by Jewish people. That’s why we hardly hear what the Christians did to the Jews and what Israel is doing to the Palestinians.

America is not a goody-goody country it clearly has shown in the past that it has imeperialistic ambitions.But your other conclusions and judgements are debatable and one about Jews is in bad taste.It may be true that many main stream media outlets in America are owned by Jews but that is not an arguement to accuse of media bias.Categorising all Jews as of same type is precisely being an anti-semite.

Most of Indian English news papers are owned by Hindus that did not prevent them from bitterly criticising the BJP led government.

Some of them do preach hatred against other religions. What do you think Shivsena, RSS, Bajrangi dal are doing in India? India is ruled by a Fundamentalist Hindu party.

I would like Ms lopa to ponder over these facts. The BJP led government in India has a Christian for a defense Minister,a Muslim cabinet Minister,a Sikh cabinet Minister,appointed a Christian (Mr.Lyngdoh) as Chief Election Commisioner -a constititutional body in India with immense powers, nominated a muslim for the President of India,gives a subsidy of Rs.100 crores every year to Haj piligrimage,funds modernisation of madrassahs...the list can go on.Ofcourse the BJP brand of politics may be disagreable to certain people but to call such a party led govrnnement as Fascist,Hindu fundemantalist requires an extraordinary degree of corruption of logic  and reasoning.

True ,riots in Gujarat(the  stick that you are using to beat the present govrement of India) are shameful.But they are not the policy or the goal of the govrnement .

RSS, Shivsena, Bishwa Hindu Parishad, bajrangi dal, etc. Just visit any of their websites or websites of Mayer Dak or Hindu-unity like organization.

[Kiran]

I would be more than happy if you could give a single shred of hatred in RSS website.Incase you do not know it is www.rss.org.Even the VHP(www.vhp.org) speaks about establishing "genuine" secularism.

Internet is a devils world it is possible to find out websites of hate, but one cannot link on this to any specific organisation without any evidence.

Let me point out once again in the forum that RSS and other organisations known as sangh parivar organisations are not representatives of Hinduism and they themselves dont claim to be.This fact must be respected.In other words RSS and affliated organistations do not preach any particular school of Hindu philosophy,do not publish religious books,do not run temples....the claim to represent interests of Hindu society not representing Hinduism.A Hindu organisation would be something like Rama Krishna Mission or Hare Krishna Mission not the RSS!Hindus dont go to the RSS to clarify their religous doubts!

It is not my intention to act as spokesperson or defend on behalf of any of the organisations.Iam only pointing out incorrect facts which i hope will help in running debates of higher quality

Kiran.
