Note that Islam has the weakest version. A tenet of Hindu dharma is "jiva daya" which means "kindness to all beings". Without that, there is no meaning to religion. Since God is the Father of all, hurting or harming any creature is an offense to His creation and therefore to Him, according to Hindu scriptures.

Except the Islam's version is "Do unto others BEFORE they do unto you."

I was under the impression that muslins were adhering to the GOLDEN RAIN rule.

Islam contains a version of the golden rule But it also tells its adherents to seize everybody else’s lands ( by armed or immigrant invasions) and to then subjugate or kill them. Unfortunately, the whole world suffers because this “ later” part of the Koran is so well followed by so many Moslems. The golden rule stuff got superseded in the Islam of all these millions of islamoNazi jihadist terrorists and their even larger population of coreligionist supporters. It avails us not one iota to cite the “ earlier” parts of their book that so many Moslems don’t follow and have no intention of ever following.

There’s a moment in The Life of Muhammad in which he picks up a handful of sand and lets the wind blow it whichever way, and he tells his followers, that events are guided by the will of allah, as is the flow of the sand.
Thus it followed when asked about 9/11, a muslim cleric was able to reply, had allah not willed it, he would have prevented the aircraft from striking the towers.

And that’s the golden rule of islam. It also applies when little girls three years old are raped or decapitated.

Not in Anton LaVey’s Satanism.

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." -- John 14:6

Oh Buddha - The Imperials

Well, Old Buddha was a man and I'm sure that he meant well
But I pray for his disciples lest they wind up in hell
And I'm sure that old Mohammed thought he knew the way
But it won't be Hare Krishna we stand before on The Judgment Day.

No, it won't be old Buddha that's sitting on the throne
And it won't be old Mohammed that's calling us Home
And it won't be Hare Krishna that plays that trumpet tune
And we're going to see The Son not Reverend Moon!

Well, I don't hate anybody so please don't take me wrong
But there really is a message *in* this simple song
You see there's only one way Jesus if eternal life is your goal
Meditation of the mind won't save your soul.

No, it won't be old Buddha that's sitting on the throne
And it won't be old Mohammed that's calling us Home
And it won't be Hare Krishna that plays that trumpet tune
And we're going to see The Son, not Reverend Moon!

Well, you can call yourself a Baptist and not be born again
A Presbyterian or a Methodist and still die in your sin
You can even be Charismatic shout and dance and jump a few
But if you hate your brother you wont be one of The Chosen Few.

Cause it won't be a Baptist that's sitting on The Throne
A Presbyterian or a Methodist that's calling us Home
And it won't be a Charismatic that plays that trumpet tune
So let's all just live for Jesus 'cause He's coming back real soon.

The author does know the real import of Islam, he wrote a book called “Crimes Against India” which was so horrific I could only read 5 pages at a time.

Satanism isn’t a religion, if by religion one means a belief in God. It’s a fake belief system based on lies and evil.

I think it's sometimes a mistake to dismiss godless belief systems as being non-religious.

The idea that religion requires a god entity lets leftists get away with imposing their dogma on everyone else by simply refraining from saying "God tells us that...", or "God says..."

A more broad definition of religion would would allow first amendment challenges to leftist's ideological control of public education.

Furthermore, the words of Jesus explain in John (13.34-5): "A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."

There are different definitions of the word “religion”. For the purposes of this article, the author obviously means “belief in God”, although Buddhism and Confucianism are not monotheistic, but sort of quasi-religious ethical and moral teachings.

If “belief in anything” means “religion”, obviously this article does not address that definition.

Apparently the author is trying to say that if Moslems at least followed that one little part of the Koran, they’d be nicer. But from other things he’s written, I know that he sees what Islam is.

I’m not trying to do a comparative religion topic here, I just was sent this article in an email a couple of years ago and thought it a nice time to post it. The author’s point being that even those of various religions, even if not agreeing on many other tenets, all teach some variant of the Golden Rule, and if everyone followed their own teachings in that regard, the world would be infinitely better off.
