Dotor, let me first thank you for your balanced reaction to my last message 
to you. You have proved that we can all have civilized discussions on this 
forum without things deteriorating to blows and I truly appreciate your 
attitude.

I agree with you completely

Sure. But don't forget Godhra again.

Well let us not wait for an apology. After all, the Pope refused to 
apologise for the Inquisition crimes when he last came to India. With the 
Pope being the representative of Christ and all that I would have thought 
the ego factor would have been non-existant in this person at least. But was 
unfortunately proved wrong. Christ to me is the embodiment of love and more 
love and more love. He is completely and truly beautiful. Unfortunately, 
with organised religion most of what is practised today is a travesty of his 
teachings. Otherwise the Pope would have turned the other cheek......and 
succeeded in taking the wind out of the VHP sails.

Talking of apologies, do you think the VHP and Co. will ever apologise for 
the breakdown of the Babri Masjid ? I am certainly not waiting with bated 
breath. After all, this is the group that is trying to group the Hindus into 
following an organised religion which Hinduism fortunately is not.

And while on the apology do you think we will ever get one out of Pakistan 
for killing 60,000 plus people in Kashmir in order to keep their own nation 
together with the promotion of "collective hatred".

And what about all the caste killings. Do you think any apologies will flow 
on those ?

As I said I will not wait for the apology.

It will end Dotor when you and me and all others like you and me stand up 
and voice our concern loud and clear just like what we did with the Gujarat 
riots. Being an optimist, I have hope. After all what is living in this 
world without love and hope ?

Cheers,
Sunila
