The British refused this request because they didn't want the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem to lead Palestinian Muslims in rebellion against British colonialism. It is one of the ironies of history that the SS (who took the homes and possessions of the Jews by force) wanted to return all Jews to their homeland and it was therefore British who blocked this from happening (to protect their territorial interests). To this day the British still deny this truth. (See "The Order of the Death's Head" by German historian Heinz Hohne). > > Gandhi's story had now become a westernized cultural hagiography.

On the other hand, if Gandhi's soul is back on Earth doing the same type of thing again then the Jihadists will slaughter him this time instead of an Indian nationalist. After all, Dar-as-salam (the realm of Islam) has no earthly boundaries.
As a Hindu, Gandhi appeared to have taken the opposite view from what Krishna was saying in the B Gita or Shrimad Bhagavatam. I suppose pacifism could be taken as a passive/aggressive strategy to fight the enemy. So, in that sense, Gandhi is taking up his fight from a higher moral ground. > > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > In a message dated 8/29/07 6:37:05 P.M.
