Dear avinash,what a lovely HINDU name.But it is time 4 u and your kind 2 change it 2 tom,dick or harry been_had.

I have been following some of the discussions. I would like to address one such post. The one which tries to add a spin to biblical words.

It is a fact that these words are often quoted by the missionaries to convert the hindus to christianity. It is the shock and awe technique which therefores opens another front in the war against christianization of the world.

Afterall the christian's loyalty is always under question as to weather he would answer the call of the pope or the country.

Indian christians are being led on this dangerous path that they become willing pawns in the hands of the western countries.

antichrist.

All Hindu brothers...this is time to wake up. We all are sleeping & everyone is kicking our buts & trying to screw us. Everybody is working & dying to expand & spread their religion & we are just sitting & talking. We always get banged from everywhere. You have live examples like Kashi, Mathura, Ayodhya, Amarnath, Kerala, Manglore, Mumbai Delhi Jaipur Ahmdabad Blasts. Parliament attack, Kashmir issue & many more..... If we sit quiet, they will rip us appart & we will be in a minority. Answer for this can be a NAMO - Narendra Modi.
And I would really want to say one more thing - " JIS HINDU KA KHUN NA KHOWLE, KHUN NAHI WO PANI HAIN AUR KASHMIR SE KANYAKUMARI TAK YE DHARATI HAMARI HAIN " GARVA SE KAHO HUM HINDU HAIN...JAI SHRIRAM !!

Reasons for buddhist ire:

1) Discontent among Buddhists has been brewing for months over Lee's alleged favoritism toward Christianity. Buddhists have criticized Lee, a Presbyterian, for filling most of his Cabinet and top presidential posts with other Christians."

2) A photo in which the head of the national police agency posed with a famous pastor at a Christian event also raised Buddhist ire.

3) Adding fuel to the fire, police inspected the car of the Venerable Jikwan, head of the Jogye Order, in July as he left the Jogye Temple. The temple is harboring some eight civic activists who led weeks of street rallies earlier this year against Lee's decision to resume imports of U.S. beef.

For these reasons, Christians need to be slaughtered their way out of Korea; and any other nation like Korea where they cause any 'social differences'. Good judgement.

SEOUL, South Korea — Tens of thousands of South Korean Buddhists rallied Wednesday against alleged religious discrimination by the government of President Lee Myung-bak, the latest setback for his protest-plagued administration.

Discontent among Buddhists has been brewing for months over Lee's alleged favoritism toward Christianity. Buddhists have criticized Lee, a Presbyterian, for filling most of his Cabinet and top presidential posts with other Christians.

Police estimated that 60,000 people, including 7,000 monks clad in gray Buddhist garb, gathered Wednesday in front of Seoul's City Hall.

"Oppose religious discrimination," the crowd chanted on the grassy plaza as they urged Lee to offer a public apology and fire the head of the national police agency for what they claim is religious discrimination.

They warned they would intensify their protests unless the government takes "sincere steps."

The crowd later marched several blocks to the Jogye Temple, the headquarters of the Jogye Order, South Korea's largest Buddhist sect. Police said there were no clashes.

Lee told his top aides on Monday that his "religious belief and activities should not cause social friction or undermine national unity," the culture ministry said Tuesday.

Lee, however, stopped short of offering an apology and gave no indication he would fire the police chief.

South Korea is a country where religious diversity is widely respected and there is no history of sectarian disputes between Christians and Buddhists.

Buddhism is the oldest major religion in Korea, though Christianity has grown dramatically, especially during the 20th century. According to government figures, Buddhists made up 22.8 percent of the population in 2005, while Christians accounted for 29.2 percent.

Lee is not the first Christian to serve as South Korea's president. Others include Syngman Rhee, Kim Young-sam and Kim Dae-jung.

Of the 15 members of Lee's Cabinet, 12 are Christian and one is Buddhist while the affiliation of two others was not immediately available.

Buddhist anger at Lee's government, which took office in February, intensified in June when the Transportation Ministry dropped Buddhist temples from public transit system electronic maps. The ministry said the omission was a mistake by a lower official and later restored them to the maps.

A photo in which the head of the national police agency posed with a famous pastor at a Christian event also raised Buddhist ire.

Adding fuel to the fire, police inspected the car of the Venerable Jikwan, head of the Jogye Order, in July as he left the Jogye Temple. The temple is harboring some eight civic activists who led weeks of street rallies earlier this year against Lee's decision to resume imports of U.S. beef.

The beef protests rocked the president and Lee's approval ratings plummeted.

Lee "should fire the head of the national police agency to show his sincerity" toward religious neutrality, said Park Jeong-kyu, a spokesman for one of the Buddhist groups that organized Wednesday's rally.

Culture Minister Yu In-chon said Tuesday that the government would make the police chief visit the Buddhist community and express his regret. The police agency had no comment.

Earlier this month, Kang Chang-il, a Buddhist lawmaker and member of the opposition Democratic Party, submitted a bill banning religious discrimination in the execution of public officials' duties.

"The president should have exercised restraint in his personal religious inclination," Ahn Myung-sook, a 51-year-old self-employed woman said at the rally.

Park also called for legislation banning religious discrimination.

In early July, Prime Minister Han Seung-soo, a Catholic, instructed all ministries not to give the mistaken impression that the government favors a specific religion, and he visited the Jogye Temple to express regret over the alleged discrimination, his office said.

Japan answers Christianity

In his letter to Tokugawa shogunate , Prince Maurits of Holland wrote to Japanese emperor that the true object of the Catholics in Japan was the fomentation of political dissension and civil strife.

Japanese Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu once tolerated the presence of Christian missionaries, but he soon concluded they were a potential menace to Japan. His advisors warned him that Christian doctrine enjoined the faithful to obey their spiritual leaders (the Jesuits), not their temporal leader (the Shogun). Ieyasu became further irritated against the Christians by intrigues involving the Christian daimyo Lord Arima in Kyushu and by the discovery that some of Tokugawa's own household were Christians.

The shifting political winds and aggressive missionaries finally tested the limits of Tokugawa Hidetada's patience. On January 27, 1614, he issued an edict that prohibited the practice of Christianity in Japan. Although the edict was not strictly enforced, it had a chilling effect on missionaries and Christians alike, many of whom survived only by being discreet. Two years later, Shogun Tokugawa restricted all foreign merchants, except the Chinese, to the ports of Nagasaki and Hirado and restricted foreign residents to Edo, Kyoto, and Sakai. A dramatic example of the vigorous and determined campaign to root out Christian missionaries and their followers occurred in 1621, when a Japanese junk transporting two Spanish Franciscans was intercepted off the Formosa coast and escorted to Hirado. Both friars were executed on orders from the Shogun, along with the entire ship's crew and every Christian prisoner in the jails of Suzuta and Nagasaki.

He ordered the Nagasaki commissioners to investigate anyone suspected of being a Christian and offered a reward to anyone who revealed the location of a foreign priest. Foreign ships arriving in Japan were put under armed guard and thoroughly searched for foreign priests. Any foreigner who helped a foreign priest or any other prohibited foreigner would be imprisoned.

The shogun's edicts of 1634 and 1635 were similar to the first, but the 1635 edict was more specific in its prohibitions .

Beginning in 1569, the Shimabara Peninsula, which stretches southeastward from Nagasaki, and the Amakusa Islands to the south of the peninsula became home to thousands of Christian converts thanks to the missionary activities of Father Luis d'Almeida and the supportive efforts of the Christian daimyo Konishi Yukinaga

Masuda Shiro, emerged as a rebel leader. In October 1637, Christians from Shimabara and the nearby Amakusa islands launched a rebellion. Armed with swords, rakes and rocks directed much of their anger at Shimabara Castle. They burned the town of Shimabara to the ground, killing one of the governors and more than thirty noblemen.

Soon after they word of the rebellion spreading in Shimabara Lord Matsukura Shigemasa and the Nagasaki daimyo hurriedly set out from Edo to meet the challenge. Since Nagasaki was designated a Crown city, Lord Terazawa Katakata quickly marshaled reinforcements to guard the suburbs. Over 40,000 men of Chikugo camped in the hills around Nagasaki under orders to defend the city and keep its inhabitants under surveillance. No one could move around freely without offering documents to prove their residence. Lord Terazawa also dispatched nine noblemen with 3,000 samurai from northern Kyushu to suppress the Amakusa rebels and punish the ringleaders. The rebels decimated Lord Terazawa's small force two days later, killing 2,800 men in a pitched battle fought on December 27.
During their rampage, the rebel Christians destroyed Japanese religious symbols and replaced them with Christian emblems and took control of the abandoned Hara Castle at the southern tip of the peninsula. Within the castle's massive walls guarded by three moats, they assembled a force of 35,000 men, under the banner of the Christian cross. In capturing Hara, they burned the daimyo's rice stores. Soon after the rebellion began, Christian converts from Amakusa and Shimabara began openly proclaiming their adherence to Christianity. Many carried banners emblazoned with Portuguese inscriptions such as "Louvada seia o Santissimo Sacramento" (Praised be the most Holy Sacrament) and "San Tiago." This physical evidence confirmed their "treason" to Japan.

On January 4, while the rebels were still enjoying their brief "victory," ten ninja warriors arrived at Hara from Omu Province. Every night for the next two weeks these veterans of the Battle of Sekigahara secretly entered the castle to gather intelligence and map the castle's defenses. Fifteen days later they sent a detailed report to the shogun in Edo. Tokugawa Iemitsu sent an army of over 10,000 men to lay siege to the rebel stronghold at Hara Castle. Rebels defiantly taunted their attackers and managed to inflict heavy losses on government forces without losing a man.

The roads and fields around Hara Castle were littered with countless men who died from exposure to the bitter cold winter weather, many of whom had never fired a shot. Rebel raids, such as the deadly assault on February 3 which killed over 2,000 Hizen warriors, the governor and many noblemen, only compounded the attackers' misery.

Government forces decisively crushed the rebellion on Amakusa by mid-February. Fifty diehard rebels crossed the narrow strait to Shimabara and joined with the rebels in Hara Castle for the final showdown. Beginning on March 10, a combined force of nearly 200,000 warriors under the command of Lord Itakura Shigemasa assembled on the plains of Shimabara: 30,000 from Chikuzen, 40,000 from Higo; 25,000 from Chikugo, 2,700 from Bungo, 3,000 from Amakusa, 5,000 from Omura, 3,000 from Hirado, and 500 men belonging to Lord Terazawa Katakata.

After taking Hara Castle, government forces systematically slaughtered everyone they encountered. Not a single rebel survived the Battle at Hara Castle except those who fled, and they were later hunted down and executed. Masuda Shiro was captured and decapitated and his head was sent to Nagasaki and exhibited. The ferocity of the final assault is evident from the 10,800 rebel Christian heads taken in the final two days of fighting and placed in the fields beneath the castle walls.

The violence of the rebellion and the setbacks encountered by the shogun's forces stunned the bakufu in Edo. Tokugawa Iemitsu saw the hand of foreign Christian adversaries in the Shimabara Rebellion. He now feared not only Christianity, but the possibility that Spain would try to duplicate through force of arms and conversion in Japan what it had already achieved in the Philippines.

Determined to end the Portuguese trade, Tokugawa Iemitsu resolved to prohibit Christianity in Japan and issued an edict that called for a policy of strict national seclusion. No foreign ships were allowed to enter Japanese ports, and no Japanese citizen was permitted to leave or reenter Japan.

Im a hindu born in a western country and no body has made my family convert by force or "miracles".Yes they(christians nd muslims) use ppls troubles eg job,money as a way 2 "reason"with hindus that islam/jesus is the only answer and thereby convert them.But its the strength of our faith that is lacking in God that makes hindus convert.Uneducated and ignorant are not the only targets,the so-called higher/educated class are lead 2 believe they are sophisticated and worldly/westernised therefore not heathens/pagans in hinduism.It all comes down 2 strength of faith in OUR hinduism not GOD.Ppl need 2 realise:AS LONG AS U BREATHE IN THIS WORLD U WILL ALWAYS HV SOME PROBLEM OR THE OTHER,BE U RICH,BE U POOR,BE U A MUSLIM,A HINDU,A CHRISTIAN.Its not ur religion(man created!) tats being tested but ur Faith/trust and Devotion 2 God our creator and ur humane values.God made us more than wat we think,its WE WHO NEED 2 REALISE THIS 4 OURSELVES.We are not doing any favor 2 God by converting but selfishness.And btw,ISLAM IS THE GREATEST THREAT 2 THE WORLD.They breed terrorists like rabbits and excuse these acts of brothers-in-islam.

Sir,

What is wrong in the in which they are doing conversions in Matudham?

Your problem is with forcible/ inducive conversions. I dont find anything that falls into either of the category in your description.

Christinity never makes mistake in claiming that it is the only way to heaven. Its upto the listener to believe it.

Your ideology seems to be diffent, so I am confused.
