[Reader-list] BOYCOTT SECTARIAN AGENDAS

Why just boycott the sectarian agendas, why not boycott the "sects"
themselves.
Why do we keep on deluding ourselves by believing in such fantacies like
some
idyllic place or state where people of all religious sects would live
peacefully?
We have only two options: either we learn to live with "communal" strive
that has
become the order of the day or make a complete break with all our past that
segregates us
and begin anew. Its a tall order we know but nevertheless worth aspiring
for. Atleast its better
than the current non-sense of  just "boycotting the sectarian agendas". You
can't rationalise with
 a fanatic who has his own personal reasons to be so. If i am brought up on
a daily diet of RSS school
 text books and visit temple every evening and morning who are you to tell
me that Hindus are not
persecuted in their own country. My sole existence is based on my sectarian
"agenda", if i don't profess
it i am nothing. Let me tell these fanatics: tell your little children to go
and kill the children of people of other sects.
Hand them swords and tell them to cut the first playmate of other sect they
find and quent your thirst.
I am sure you fanatics won't; we shudder at such a scenario. But let me
assure you, if you have such a dirty mind
however hard you might try you won't be able to keep these poisonous ideas
away from your children. They are being
fed such ideas in their school itself, in small doses without their
realizing as to what is being done to them in the name
of "secular" education.
let me assure you either we have to banish God from this earth and all the
attending heavenly spheres or we won't find any space even on mars. There
are enough people on earth who have nothing to loose and are just in search
for a slight hint that could give
their rudderless life a meaning and what better meaning than to do something
for God: KILL!!! KILL!!! KILL!!!
Be-aware.
Best
