[QUOTE="Archived_member15, post: 182795, member: 17438"] Dear Tejwant, Good insight, view religions objectively rather than subjectively. OK, so lets see whether you practice as you preach.... A subjective opinion. Objectively speaking, without bias, any scholar of religion would tell you that the Abrahamic faiths are monotheistic. Are you being objective here? No, your subjectively declaring Jews to be "arrogant". Have you ever thought about asking Jews what the term "chosen people" means for them? Have you ever actually tried to understand Judaism as Jews believe, rather than simply making assumptions and accusations about their beliefs with recourse to emotional language that is not academic in nature as an "objective" view warrants? In fact my Jewish doctor explained to me that the "chosen-ness" consists in Jews being a light and blessing to the rest of the world, not in some kind of superiority. Therefore the Torah says, "[B]in you all the families of the earth will be blessed'[/B]" (Genesis 12:3). Hitler made this accusation of Jews when in fact it was he who believed in a German master race superior to all other peoples, not the Jews. And? And? And? And? Because it was the site of the Second Temple which the Romans destroyed in AD70. The Wall is the last part of it and for Jews it is a raw, visual embodiment of the suffering they have endured since the loss of their Temple and land which culminated in the Nazi Holocaust. If you are not a Jew, then how can you possibly comprehend the symbolic meaning that this place holds for Jews? Let me reverse this on you: If Sikhism is monotheistic, or theistic or whatever describing word you wish to use, then why do you worship in Gurdwaras and at the Golden Temple in Amritsar? For me such a question does not make sense but I ask it because you asked the same of Jews, for what reason I know not. Why don't you ask a Jew? We have a few members on SPN of Jewish heritage, one living in Israel if I recall. Don't assume. As per above. Mecca is a focal point for unity. Wherever a Muslim lives in the world he faces the same direction. God is not anymore in the Kaaba than in another place. The Sufi Muslims stress this. I'll give you some of their poetry on this tomorrow. No need :mundakhalsaflag: [/QUOTE]
