Though philosophical Hinduism has no other god but God, it cannot be denied that practical Hinduism is not so emphatically uncompromising as Islam.
Islam appeals to people because it appeals also to reason.
I would like to say that that even the teachings of the Koran cannot be exempted from criticism.
A perfect Muslim is he from whose tongue and hands mankind is safe.
The early Mussalmans accepted Islam not because they knew it to be revealed but because it appealed to their virgin reason.
Surely Islam has nothing to fear from criticism even if it be unreasonable.
Islam was nothing if it did not spell complete democracy.
The Allah of Islam is the same as the God of Christians and the Ishwar of Hindus.
I love Christianity, Islam and many other faiths - through Hinduism.
Swaraj will favour Hinduism no more than Islam, nor Islam more than Hinduism.
It was through the Hindu religion that I learnt to respect Christianity and Islam.
I do regard Islam to be a religion of peace in the same sense as Christianity, Buddhism and Hinduism are.
The very word Islam means peace, which is nonviolence.
If Hinduism teaches hatred of Islam or of non-Hindus, it is doomed to destruction.
