[Advaita-l] World Muslim Population Doubling

[Mahesh Ursekar]

U r right, it has no relevance! But it just curdles my mind when I read such
"old worldly and biased" views (and they do crop up many a time) against any
community. It might be because I take my Guru as Sri Ramakrishna, for whom
every religion was true and hence throwing aspersions against any one would
be nothing short of blasphemy! I will gladly make this my last post on this
topic, having said all that I wanted to...
