Why do Hindus feed their dead ancestors? And why do they prefer burning the dead to building tombs? Does Hinduism have no concept of Judgement Day? What is the impact of death on its notions of womanhood and caste? Is the Vedic approach to death different from the Tantric one?

Is Islam the cause of terrorism, of the fratricidal struggles among Muslims themselves; of the millions of displaced people, of indiscriminate killings; of beheadings, of throat-slittings, of misogyny, of gender conflicts, and of the other atrocities committed daily in its name?
