Zaid Hamid ?Also, in the Bible's Revelation, there is a man with a sword on a white horse; quite similar to the description of the last Avatar of Lord Vishnu.

Converted anybody, lately.P.S.: I have been to Texas.
Technically, yeah you're right. But Islam claims that it is the true religion revealed to Adham (Adam, who btw is the first prophet of Islam). And that Xtianity and Judaism are distorted versions.How could Christianity be a distorted form of Islam? Islam came after Christianity.
AFAIK the divinity of Jesus was democratically voted upon at the first council of Nicaea almost 300 years after he was supposedly killed.Now, whether Jesus was a 'Prophet' or 'Son of God' is a debate even among Christians. I am no expert, so I won't take sides. I meant it in the generic sense.
You just googled and posted the first result.Kaaba.
Anyway, I also did some googling and found two possible solutions to your question.Anyway, any comments on what I added in my earlier post?
Edit: Many Muslims don't know much about Islam as much as many Hindus don't know much about Vedas. Ask a Muslim about the significance of the Golden Ratio in Islam. See if you get a convincing answer. As a matter of fact, ask this question to anyone who is a Jew, Christian or Muslim.
Anybody big on photography should know this.
Miracle of Kaaba - Golden Ratio in IslamThe proportion of distance between Mecca and North Pole to the distance between Mecca and South Pole is exactly 1.618 which is the golden mean. Moreover, the proportion of the distance between South Pole and Mecca to the distance between both poles is again 1.618.
Well, you would have been mighty popular in late medieval EuropeOK, I'll pile on; women shouldn't read the gospel either.
Yes, golden ratio; the longer geodesic distance A is 1.618 times the shorter geodesic distance B.Pmaitra, so what is the answer ?
And in any case, why is it called the Golden ratio or the divine ratio. What's so golden about it? Did a Goldsmith discover it ?
You have a point. Point taken.OT...
That is not a correct analogy. There is a reason why Hinduism is called unorganized
Thanks for confirmation.Yes, golden ratio; the longer geodesic distance A is 1.618 times the shorter geodesic distance B.
This is true in two ways:
- A = Mecca to South Pole and B = Mecca to North Pole.
- A = Mecca to West until International Date Line and B = Mecca to the East until the international Date Line.
Also, using the property of similar triangles on a flat map (although the earth is not flat), the diagonal as well.Thanks for confirmation.
Oh, so a double golden ratio. The second point doesn't seem to have much significance as they are man-made lines.
I understand that, but the people listening seemed only idly curious.Sir if you see the end of the video she was clearly asking "who is going to accept the truth today ?" or something of that sort....If you dont know the code words which the missionaries use here, it means "who is converting to xtianity today ?".
I quite agree. She was annoying. In her mind, Memsahib was trying to save the souls of these little brown Hindoo people. I would have thrown a ripe fruit at her myself.Even if she was not converting, temple premises is not the place for her to stand and say "there is one true god, Jesus" and that stuff. It unnecessarily vitiates communal tensions and being the minority, in case of riots it is the local xtians only who will face problems, not tourists like her who will ignite the flame and safely fly back to her home country.
And I have been to a KKK rally in North Carolina. I still have the photos someplace.I think this reference to KKK is silly. Unless one comes to the US, many misconceptions shall remain.
P.S.: I have been to Texas.
Share with us please, if they are .jpeg images.And I have been to a KKK rally in North Carolina. I still have the photos someplace.
They are 35mm slides which I will have to put on CD as jpegs when and if I find them.Share with us please, if they are .jpeg images.
No worries, here is an example of what might happen if you try to convert the KKK to hinduism.They are 35mm slides which I will have to put on CD as jpegs when and if I find them.
The woman is disgracefully superficial. The one "convert" must be a shill. He gets a free Bible and a pat on the shoulder. There is no real connection among the absurd women, her translator, and the sole person who seems to respond to her. Her bearing is awkward, her voice is annoying, her delivery is wooden, her theology is pitiful. I get more angry every time I watch this video. I think she should be identified, hunted down and ... OK, never mind.I call this unnecessary needling and asking for trouble. Not only is this disrespectful, it is provocative.
