Islam as with Christianity was a one man, one book affair from the relatively recent time.
The older traditions much of which do not exist thanks to the two above religions, were timeless and pluralistic.
Hinduism has no known history and is assumed to be evolved through the ages, like food or music - Hinduism is unbounded and untethered.
Islam in Pakistan or Kashmir specifically has ethnically cleansed almost all non-muslims, imposes urdu at the cost of local languages and culture, and is now targeting smaller denominations as not being Islamic enough.
- kbenson 6y agoNo, Islam is an evolutionary offshoot of Christianity. Christianity is an evolutionary offshoot of Judaism. Judaism in incorporated many aspects of Zoroastrianism. If you're going to make some claim that Hinduism has no discernible stages that can be tracked anthropologically over history that we can look to, that would make it unique among human inventions and beliefs. Such an extraordinary claim needs strong evidence to be accepted.
- naruvimama 6y agoHinduism is a jungle anything can grow on its own merit. Christianity is a strawberry farm with a farmer for whom anything that is not strawberry is weed. Islam is a corn farm with a corn farmer. Both farmers want to slash and burn the jungle to expand their farm. And just because the charred remains of the jungle add nutrition to the soil does not mean it is being "incorporated". There are very few Zorastrians in Iran, the greatest numbers live in India. Not may Christians left in west asia.
