THE ALARM IS RINGING
Fanaticism at the theological roots can only produce fanaticism in its proselytising shoots. The consequence is terror perpetrated with scriptural sanction.
Intolerance at the ideological base so often leads to intolerance in practice as well. Where it does not and amity persists with other faiths, it is either on account of numerical insufficiency to be able to dominate oressential human goodness that prevents such perfidy. Often liberalising influences have also led to the emergence of a softened approach to the faith. But, overall, demographic dominance dictates the faith to eliminate coexisting faiths and establish a monolith which has sadly led to the demise of many a culture the world over in the past and threatens the very existence of such even today.
We, as a civilisation, have ourselves suffered disruption of culture and dismemberment of the motherland owing to such intolerance and the refusal to coexist with affiliates to other faiths. Now the hour strikes and we must assert our culture by way of resistance to this medieval menace that simply cannot tolerate others. It is pointless being puerile in refusing to acknowledge this historical fact and time to relocate ourselves along our ancient trajectory advanced to modern times instead of losing our bearings for good through cultural colonisation of the West or being overwhelmed by the suicidal demographic transition to which the Hindus are sliding into slowly but surely. It is time to wake up and start saving ourselves --- our persons, our culture, our religion, our heritage and our civilisation.
