Religions are full of lies and false claims. The Jews claimed they were âthe chosen people of God.â Where did this delusion take them? To the worst persecution known to man! They remain the object of the longest hate in human history.
Take Christianity. What is its claim and what is the reality? [...]

Menon is wrong in this bit. The "Chosen People" title of Jews is with respect to *their* God, not any 'universal' idea of God, not the Grand Spirit of the native Americans, not Ahura Mazda, not our Gods, etcetera. And it is <b><i>not at all their fault</i></b> that they were persecuted. Christians persecute them because that is what christianism *does*. Islamis persecute them because that is what islamism *does*. Especially since a lot in Judaism provided the origins for the heresy known as christoislamism, the latter has been on a war-path to wipe Judaism out in order to usurp its place and gain legitimacy/'inherit' the Judaic origins. This christoislamic tactic (anti-semitism) is called 'replacement theology':

To blame Judaism for its own persecution (which is a famous christoconditioned argument, by the way) means one could similarly argue - and with equal callousness - that the followers of Sanatana Dharma deserved what they got at the hands of islamania because we "claim to be following an Eternal Tradition" <!--emo&:blink:--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='blink.gif' /><!--endemo--> - yeah, christoislamic logic is lost on me.
Menon should stop trying to sound secular by finding fault with multiple religions just in order to incriminate christoislamism. The Hindu side need not be psecular. We can be plain honest and say exactly what needs to be said:
It is definitely time for fingerpointing, but people need to point in the right direction (christoislamism) and leave other religions out of it.
IF has friends in high places, can't someone here disabuse Menon of this mistake? Since, while Hindus may make mistakes, we at least correct ourselves when we learn of them.
