We must all thank Dr. Jai Maharaj for the above article. How about the
same for Islam! Although I have known many muslims as my friends I am
ashamed to say that my knowledge of Islam is next to nil. Can you please
post a comparison of Hinduism and Islam in the objective way you did it
with Christianity!
Thank you
