Baring Faith to Uproot Belief: Agenda for Religious Reversions
That the jihadi Islam, to paraphrase in Telugu, has become the chaapa kinda neeru (stealthily spreading water under the mat) and its fidayeen lurk in every nook and corner of the globe, is a common knowledge for long. But yet, the non-Muslim world, despite the outsider advantage, remains clueless to confront, much less contain, this unremitting scourge.

Semitic Faiths ‘n Sanatan Dharma: A Simple Study of Contrasts
The vital difference between the Sanatana dharma and the Semitic faiths lies in the concurrent philosophical stream of the former and the abject absence of the same in the latter that the Roberto Baggio episode amply underscores. Inconsolable at letting down Italy in that FIFA world cup final with his over-the-crossbar kick in the penalty shootout against Brazil, that too as its captain, and not finding any solace in ‘Jesus shedding his blood to save sinners’, he turned to Buddhism

You’re damned if you have it and accursed for the lack of it”.

Going by this analogy, God must be hanged over and again to meet the ends of justice of those who perish in the Act of God Perils such as typhoons, floods et al. How absurd.
