Hitler's religion is described here: http://www.nobeliefs.com/hitler.htm  It seems to be largely unknown, but mainly Christian with a healthy dose of mysticism.  He was raised as a Catholic, and vocally denounced athiesm (http://www.infidels.org/library/historical/unknown/hitler.html)\n\nOther officials within the Nazi regieme were Christian, mostly Catholic although certainly plenty of Protestants, too.\n\nNow (as someone else already mentioned) there is a "Nazi mysticism" movement, about which you can read more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_mysticism

They were protected by, and integrated with, the Taliban dictatorship in the country. The Northern Alliance of rebel Afghans, Britain and the U.S. attacked the Taliban and Al Quada, establishing a new regime in part of the country. The fighting continues \nBosnia Serbian Orthodox Christians, Roman Catholic), Muslims Fragile peace is holding, due only to the presence of peacekeepers. 2 \nCôte d'Ivoire Muslims, Indigenous, Christian Following the elections in late 2000, government security forces "began targeting civilians solely and explicitly on the basis of their religion, ethnic group, or national origin. The overwhelming majority of victims come from the largely Muslim north of the country, or are immigrants or the descendants of immigrants..." 5 A military uprising continued the slaughter in 2002. \nCyprus Christians & Muslims The island is partitioned, creating enclaves for ethnic Greeks (Christians) and Turks (Muslims). A UN peace keeping force is maintaining stability. \nEast Timor Christians & Muslims A Roman Catholic country. About 20% of the  population died by murder, starvation or disease after they were forcibly annexed by Indonesia (mainly Muslim). After voting for independence, many Christians were exterminated or exiled by the Indonesian army and army-funded militias in a carefully planned program of genocide and religious cleansing. The situation is now stable. \nIndia Animists, Hindus, Muslims & Sikhs Various conflicts that heat up periodically producing loss of life.  \nIndonesia, province of Ambon Christians & Muslims After centuries of relative peace, conflicts between Christians and Muslims started during 1999-JUL in this province of Indonesia.

The situation appears to be steadily degenerating. \nKashmir Hindus & Muslims A chronically unstable region of the world, claimed by both Pakistan and India. The availability of nuclear weapons and the eagerness to use them are destabilizing the region further. More details Thirty to sixty thousand people have died since 1989. \nKosovo Serbian Orthodox Christians & Muslims Peace enforced by NATO peacekeepers.

A peace treaty has been signed. Disarmament by NATO is complete. \nMiddle East Jews, Muslims, & Christians The peace process between Israel and Palestine suffered a complete breakdown. This has resulted in the deaths of thousands, in the ratio of three dead for each Jew.  Major strife broke out in 2000-SEP. Major battle in Lebanon during mid-2006. No resolution appears possible. \nNigeria Christians, Animists, & Muslims Yourubas and Christians in the south of the country are battling Muslims in the north.

When Ghandi went to law school in England, the story is that his health was failing because his boarding lady had no idea what to feed him.  He was vegetarian because of religion, but had no idea how to cook.  So he was being fed nothing but oatmeal and mushy peas.  So the story goes, at least.\n\nWhat is known is that he started to read some of the western books and articles on vegetarian living, and what had been a matter of habit, and something he was embarrassed of, became more a matter of philosophy and politics.  He began to learn to cook for himself, and started a vegetarian dinner club.  He began promoting the vegetarian lifestyle to his peers, and also writing articles and talking with some of the leaders of the movement.\n\nI think the experience of Ghandi and other Indians who came to Britain while it was one of their colonies definitely did a lot to promote the vegetarian lifestyle among the western world.

Nanak said God is omnipresent  in all creation and visible everywhere to the spiritually awakened. Nanak stressed that God must be seen from "the inward eye," or the "heart" of a human being: devotees must meditate to progress towards enlightenment. Nanak emphasised the revelation through meditation, as its rigorous application permits the existence of communication between God and human beings.God has no gender in Sikhism.\n\nSounds lovely.

Ghandi.  He suffered for mankind, to bring peace in this world.\n\nHe went on many food fasts almost dying a few times.\n\nHe was a very strong man, all for the sake of humanity.

he felt the state should not hamper the establishment of religious groups. He sought a government which would be friendly to groups wishing to establish a worship of the Christian faith, without out limiting it to the puritaqn denominations.

Tough call... I'm going to say Ghandi, I think he did the most good for the most people.

Interesting question. According to the bible, you have to accept Jesus at the time of death and then you will be forgiven and allowed to paradise.  However, I find it very hard to believe that someone like Ghandi is going to hell. You can never do wrong by being a good, honest and kind person.

DESPITE. While many claim we are a Christain nation, there have been many advancements that had nothing to do with religion. If anything, religon has held us back from becoming a greater spiritual nation...spirituality is way different from religion which is manmade.

Interesting question. The best answer is to check out my thoughts below, and then skim through pages 28-68 and see if you agree.\n\nIn the British colonial Kenya story "Weep Not, Child", the man Ngotho says ‘God showed Gikuyu and Mumbi\nall the land and told them: “This land I hand over to you"'. He believed that the land was in their care and belonged to no one man.\n\nHowland, a British settler, also feels strongly about the land  that it effect it is his "god" because he pours all his energy  and time into it and it *saves* him. He believes that the land was wasteland and therefore he has a God given right, or at least a legal right to ownership.\n\nOne claim is brotherly and shared, the other is selfish.\n\nGood luck!

There is none.  Shoghi Effendi, the only Guardian, died in 1957.  The Universal House of Justice handles the administrative affairs of the Faith on a global basis.

they are talking about Sufi heritage i would say. except a few most of the sufi saints were quite liberal specially whom we know in India. but they were always in minority. \n\nDara Shikoh, son of Tajmahal fame shahjahan, was not only tolerant he was a scholler. he read all kinds of relegious philosophies and was not a bit fanatic. he was killed for the crime of being liberal though he was the declared heir of delhi throne. The king Iltutamish though muslim  declared her daughter as his heir. she proved to be a worthy general but "chihalghani" or group of 40 powerfull knights did not accept her and ultimately killed her. \n\neven at the time of partition there were muslim leaders who were against at this division on the basis of relegion. many from the Pak area. they just loose in their own society.

I believe that he was patriotic in the sense that patri means father and he honored the fathers of his nation, being abraham issac and jacob, however, probably not patriotic in the sense you mentioned.  he instilled the values of obeying the government he was under(render to caesar what is caesar), BUT his ministry was for peace and of a humanitarian nature, no where is it mentioned in the gospels that it is ever, ever ok. to kill.  we should be against war and the depravation it causes.  that said it is important for us to pray for those who have hardened hearts to this issue, as well as prayer for those who are in the military.  they are doing what they are told but i am sure many of them would like peace.

He seems to be a staunch nationalist. He could go to anylength (even compromise his religious & moral limits) to bring develepment to this piece of land. He is least bothered by what effect does his actions bring to other brothers in that region.\n\nIslam condems nationalism at the cost of other muslim brothers. He needs to get his lessons right.

He was a Maoist.\n\nAnd a Nudist is the same thing as a Naturalist. They are synonymes.
