Addressing the seminar, Jethmalani wondered if the jehadi doctrine, propagating the belief allegedly held by Islam's Wahab sect that Muslims attaining martyrdom while fighting non-Muslims "get a place in heaven and the company of the opposite sex there", does not amount to saying that "god is a brothel keeper".
The self-confessed maverick legal hawk also went on to equate god as someone "suffering with Alzheimer's disease", while advising the Indian government and the international community against trusting god in fighting terrorism.
"He will not help as he is suffering with Alzheimer's disease," said Jethmalani, while advising the government to junk its obsession with "an irrelevant non-aligned movement" and "join the forces of good to fight forces of evil".
Jethmalani made "the non-mincing" remarks at an international conference of jurists on terrorism, inaugurated by President Pratibha Patil and attended among others by Singapore Chief Justice Chan Sek Keong and Justice Awn S Al-Khasawneh of the International Court of Justice and envoys of several countries.
Jethmalani's remarks caused Saudi Arabia's Ambassador to India Faisal-al-Trad to walk out, while an embarrassed union Law Minister M. Veerappa Moily swiftly sought to distance himself and the government from the controversial remarks.
Justice Khasawneh contradicted Jethmalani on some facts referred to by him on the jehadi doctrine.
Jethmalani made the remark while dwelling upon the need to fight terrorism also at its ideological level.
"I am a student of all religions, including Islam and I have read the Koran several times. I find that the Prophet is a man of peace," said Jethmalani, adding that it nowhere preaches hate and violence.
So the way you have explained your sincere guidance to Muslims and to ME that I should have LOVE for NEIGHBOR and SHOULD NOT be filled with HATRED for other religion....., I just was wondering how many Indian "HINDUS" love and care for their neighbor Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka..... NONE.... NADA.... ZERO....!!!!! And how many comments have you seen here in this thread telling NO MATTER how bad "SOME MUSLIM TERRORISTS" are we LOVE and RESPECT the Muslims and their RELIGION..... NONE.... NADA.... ZERO... NIL........ Moreover, ALL of you who commented here and are "HINDU" just telling HOW BAD and DANGEROUS RELIGION ISLAM is BUT we Muslims should read all your comments as FILLED WITH LOVE and AFFECTIONS for Muslims & Islam...... WOW...... What degree of BIGOTRY and HYPOCRITES HINDUS belong to.....?
And finally in your OPINION we should not have DEATH PENALTY for CRIMINALS and RAPIST and TERRORIST as we should be kind and NOT BARBARIAN and should come out of STONE AGE.....!!!!!! DO you even KNOW what you are talking......? or it is just a WHIM at a SPUR of time what ever POPS UP on your VERY BIASED BRAIN you just SCRIBBLE it down as reflection of INTELLECT and WISDOM....., NO matter how RIDICULOUS and shallow it may look......!!!!!!
And finally "WERE YOU ABLE TO FIGURE OUT MY QUESTION THAT WHY HINDU'S SCRIPTURES AND PHILOSOPHY THINKS PLANTS ARE NOT ALIVE & WORTHLESS WHEREAS ANIMALS ARE EVERYTHING...."? First try to answer few questions, I have raised and DO NOT GET BOGGED down on "ONE VERY WELL REASONED POINT" of killing so called "INNOCENTS" in a particular context...... Please get over your PREJUDICE and STOP calling that as the KEY DOCTRINE of a HOLY BOOK QURAAN......!!!!!! Their are so many other good things by your STANDARD are also their in QURAAN...., why you don't care about those........!!!!!!
@wonder78---bas karo yaar g*** faad diya sabka.....dil mat pado warna ghar jate hi kahegay apnay parents se-----WHO AM I ?
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
About you feeling insulted on my comment about Shivaji and Rana Pratap.......which of the two things I said is WRONG, so that you feel insulted....? Aren't you people say that they were "LION" and they ATE ROTI made up of Grass in dire circumstances.....? if you find these information's UNTRUE and insulting then I am sorry.... and NOW I will call these as LIES and they were NEITHER LION NOR they ate roti made up of grass.... happy..!!!!!!
Raj_eev I forgot to tell you the MOST ABSURD logic I have heard from fellow HINDUS over Muslim eating meat (beef, goat, sheep, fowl etc....) they call it JEEV HATYA..... isn't it....? I really feel ASTONISHED that HINDU religion is so SHALLOW in understanding WHAT is JEEVIT or ALIVE in other words.....? So HINDU scriptures think that only ANIMALS are ALIVE and PLANTS are DEAD....!!!!!!? or You should eat lowest and weakest of all thing which is ALIVE in order to avoid any difficulty.... I bet I have never seen a POTATO, TOMATO and any of other plants screaming for help or even trying to RUN AWAY from the KNIFE, which is going to cut them into pieces ALIVE not even waiting for them to die.... if VEGETABLES die we prefer to throw them away and NOT EAT..... This is the ultimate ANSWER every HINDU should ask that how come PLANTS which are NOT ONLY alive but they CLEAN or AIR by utilizing CO2 and making GLUCOSE out of it are LESS VALUABLE then their HOLY MOTHER COW....... which can give the HOLY WATER in form of PEE and nourishing water in FORM OF MILK...!!!! HINDUS don't have to look into helpless EYES of any of the PLANTS and VEGETABLES before KILLING them into pieces.....to feed themselves.....!!!!!! I will be very annoyed if ANY LUNATIC comes up and SAYS PLANTS are not alive....? or they are WORTHLESS as compare to HOLY MOTHER COW......!!!!?
And in QURAAN it is said that HUMANS are MOST SUPERIOR of all the creations Allah tala has created on planet earth.... that is why it rules over ALL USING HIS/HER BRAIN...... and every animal and plants has created for OUR BENEFIT and for our service.... they are meant to SERVE the purpose and fulfill their duty to their bosses.... that is HUMAN and their are some wild animals which will never be tamed and their are some DOMESTIC animals which are their to provide you Ride (horse) Labor (donkey) Goat and cow (Milk and MEAT), sheep (wool and meat) do I need to write all of them......!!!! Isn't it AMAZING BOOK QURAAN IS? It has every Information you just need to look for.......!!!!
Can you imagine that a political leader in our society who was mother to an Illegitimate Child (out of marriage) and was daughter of a very high army personality thus was able to get into a forced marriage of characterless son of Indira Gandhi..... Now became the VOICE of all HELPLESS animals including million eggs reproducing FROGS and she is HELLAVA VEGETERIAN and she doesn't think PLANTS ARE ALIVE..... Can any of you forward this message to her and ask her to redefine MOTO of HER LIFE......!!!!!!?
