MADINAH – Former Dutch Islamophobe and a former leading member of far-right Dutch politician Geert Wilders’ party Arnoud Van Doorn visited the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah to pray and say sorry for becoming part of a blasphemous film.

Doorn was among the Freedom Party leaders who produced the blasphemous film, Fitna. Last month he reverted to Islam after an extensive study about the religion and the Prophet (peace be upon him).

He said that the worldwide outrage against the film made him study about the Prophet (pbuh) and that eventually led to his conversion.

He headed for Makkah to perform Umrah after meeting the two imams of the Prophet’s Mosque, Sheikh Ali Al-Hudaifi and Sheikh Salah Al-Badar, who enlightened him on how to lead the life of a good Muslim and confront challenges facing Islam in the West.

A common complaint of neo-Hindutva fanatics against me is that I am using the translations of Max Muller and Ralph Griffith when I quote the Vedas. Hindtuvavadis give these scholars and their translations titles like 'Christian agents', 'frauds', 'bogus translation', 'biased indologists', 'Mlecchas', etc. Although I do not often quote their translations, it goes on to show the racial hatred of these Hindus for the rest of the world whom they consider impure.

One Hindu website writes

"Max Müller was a British agent, especially employed (in 1847) to write the translations of the Vedas in such a demeaning way so that the Hindus should lose faith in them."

शंका

कुरान में एक कहानी सिकंदर की है , जिसने दावा किया था कि उसने सूरज को एक कीचड़ वाले दलदल में डूबा हुआ देखा था .सिकंदर को कुरान में "जुल करनैन " ذو القرنين "कहा गया है . अरबी में इस शब्द का अर्थ "दो सींगों वाला two-horned one" होता है.जुल करनैन वास्तव में कौन था इसके बारे में इस्लामी विद्वानों में मतभेद है. कहा जाता है कि जब सिकंदर विश्वविजय के लिए फारस से आगे निकल गया तो उसने सूरज को एक दलदल में डूबते हुए देखा था. और कुरान इस बात को सही मानकर बताया गया है कि सूर्यास्त के बाद सूरज कहाँ डूब जाता है,

" यहाँ तक कि वह ( जुल करनैन ) उस जगह पहुंच गया ,और उसने सूरज को एक कीचड़ वाले दलदल (muddy spring ) डूबा हुआ पाया "

सूरा -अल कहफ़ 18:86

समाधान

यह एक आम गलतफहमी है कि जुल करनैन सिकंदर ही है। यह विचार सही नहीं है। सिकंदर के जीवन के बारे मैं हम जो कुछ भी जानते हैं वह कुरआन के जुल करनैन के वर्णन से नहीं मिलता। हमारा विषय यहाँ जुल करनैन की खोज नहीं है, बल्कि सूर्यास्त के बारे में कुरआन का नज़रिया है।

The beliefs of protestant Hindūism especially their cult leader Mūlshankar(Swami Dayanand Saraswati) and his words which are quite unknown to common protestant Hindūs(Arya Samaj) and our readers.So what did Mūlshankar write about several nations and their people? Is protestant Hindūism free from racism? What are the beliefs of protestant Hindūs with regards to racism and equality of different race and culture? We’ll let Mūlshankar answer these questions then ponder a bit on the answer,

Mūlshankar wrote:

“Besides, Manu also corroborates our position. He says, "The countries other than Aryavarta are called Dasyus and Malechha countries." MANU 10:45, 2:23. The people living in the north-east, north, north-west were called Raakshasas.”     - [Satyarth Prakāsh, Ch. 8, pg. 266, Tr.Chiranjiva]
