Salman Khan: I am Hindu and Muslim

salman-khan-640x360Express News Service | Jaipur | Updated: April 30, 2015

Bollywood actor Salman Khan, who appeared before a Jodhpur court Wednesday afternoon, came up with a dramatic response when the judge asked him his caste.

While taking down his personal details, chief judicial magistrate Anupama Bijlani, asked Salman his name, father’s name, occupation and other details to fill in a legal form.

When the judge asked him his caste, the actor first said, ‘Indian’, looking perplexed. Someone from the court even prompted him to say ‘Muslim’ but Salman ignored it and said, “I am Hindu and Muslim. My father (Salim Khan) is a Muslim while my mother (Susheela Charak) is a Hindu.”

More….
Salman Khan was born and raised in Indore, India.

Khan is truly meta-religious and appears to be fascinated by religion in general. But the fact that his mother is a Hindu and his father is a Muslim has made him the subject of much religious inquiry in India–a country where these two religions often clash.

Salman_idol worshipAnd speaking of the wave of Muslim attacks on Indians, Khan said: All I can say is that the meaning of Islam is peace, the tenets of Islam are peace and when you ingrain violence in that…when you do not follow that, then that is the end of the conversation.

It may seem non-committal from a bi-religious man in the public eye, but Khan extends his interest in religion beyond Islam and Hinduism. He’s been known to pray at holy Sikh shrines and, a prolific painter, Khan has done portraits of both Buddha and Jesus Christ.

But my view is that Khan leans more toward Hinduism than he wants to let on. He’s been known to make international trips home to India just to make special Hindu celebrations and built a Shiva shrine in his family’s farmhouse.

Khan is a great lover of his country, so much so that it’s just another one of his religions! He said: I am an Indian. Nationalism is my religion. We want responsible citizens who think about India first. We should unite and do everything for the betterment of our country.

    I’m Muslim and I researched there is nothing is more than Islam because Islam only religion which learnt us don’t tease other religions and our prophet HAZRAT MUHAMMAD pbuh is last prophet of Allah . our prophet is successor of Jesus. I has information about other religion but Islam say respect to women and gave their truth only is calm religion in world ever…………….. …. I can’t compromise in these 3 things my Allah My prophet Hazrat Muhammad and my religion Islam. I researched only Hinduism is able to tease because they have no prophet NAD they burn their dead body. I doggone them .They are barbarous . I hate this religion Hinduism. I want to sacrifice my life on religion. And Hindu are ignorant .They never think that they have one life they think they have 7 life but actually this is lie. I blamed all Hindu. Hindu are present only in India but our religion is present in evey country region I love my religion. I hate Hindu they should banned their raakhi day and deewali . I hate these things ever in in my life l love muslims

      Islam is a religion of peace and hinduism is a way of life that is also to do with peace. It does not matter weather your a muslim or a hindu because in both religions they teach to respect other peoples faith and they are both about peace but belief wise are diffrent but thats what makes a person by there belief you cant judge some one for loveing allah or for loveing baghwan that is xompletely wrong

      • October 5, 2018 5:11 pm

        Dear Sheena,

        You have given a great message but don’t know how much it is applicable in a practical situation. Lets say a Hindu and Muslim wishes to get married? Do the Hindu have to convert to Islam (for all practical matter, YES)? Can the children be raised in two faiths, going to mandir one day and Mosque the other (again, we are talking about practical situation).

    I respect all religion especially islam coz my girlfriend is a Muslim. I love her a lot. Even she does.
    We’ve dated for more than a year or so. She had stayed with me for a night in Goa. And i swear i hav not touched her body or misbehaved with her till today,coz my love is true and not based on physical attraction. But last week i was beaten up by her brother in public. Even i hit him and tore his shirt.
    Now he has started hitting my girlfriend. So i started hating islam.
    if i and she don’t have problem with our relationship, what is his problem
    isn’t der something called peace in islam?

    Proft Mohammad was a criminal. He had countless wives and upon that he raped a 7 year old girl. His main intension was to have sex with many girls.

    Now my question is,
    how can these bloody Muslims consider him as their proft after having raped a 7 year old girl.
    Shame on Islam.

    I am a proud Hindu and Hindu only. I hate those who were Hindu and claim Muslim now. Though almost all Muslims were Hindu at a time and mostly due to atrocities committed by Muslim invadesrs they had been forcefully converted to the religion of terrorism, the religion of uncivilised , barbaric Arabian tribes. So, Iappeal all Indian Muslims to return back to the religion of their forefathers , the great Hinduism.

        Plz stop spreading lies from anti Hindu sites. I invite you to world if Hinduism. You are in a illusion of Islam, in Islam only violence lives. That’s why your mom sister are sitting at home even after marriage, this also why you live in mental poverty. Shiva loves you, you are his creator. Just chant on shanti om every day and see its power. Your evilness will convert into kindness and you will be human.

        Even if you don’t say OM Shanti OM, just think why Muhammad died so violently, and why you say “peace be upon him”, why your prophet was an child to an married girl, who became prostitute later. Why is Mohammed always at war with others. When one person has problem with 10 people, common sense says the problem is with that one person – Mohammed was looking for sex all his life. Think and see you are following just because you are afraid to ask questions. What if you get real jannat, which actually is swarg. All you have to do is say om shanti om every day for 1 hour and see your heart and soul becoming better. It’s a challenge my friend. I can’t see you in pity, wakeup !!

          Ask a brahmin whether I have told lies or it is a fact that brham had raped his daughter. Any brahmin will say yes and in that case I advise and earnestly request you not to follow brahm and rape your own daughter.

            U were raped by your father it doesn’t mean that anyone should be raped by his father.u can assume that for ur mental satisfaction but it’s not true.your father could be a raper but don’t blame anyone that he is like ur father or u.gather knowledge more and more and then comment.

        First of all you aren’t a Hindu and if you were then you’d have learned about the facts of it. You can’t even spell “Brahma” properly LOL let me educate you. Brahma was tricked by kamadev ( God of Love ) by injecting an arrow like a Cupid to like his own daughter to get a revenge & Nope Lord Brahma hasn’t even touched his daughter as he was cursed by Shiva immidietly that he won’t be worshipped on the Earth. That’s why people don’t worship Brahma on the earth.
        # Spell “Brahma” properly.
        # Saraswati is a Goddess of Knowledge and Music. And she’s a WIFE of Brahma NOT daughter so educate yourself. And that’s how I caught your Fish Knowledge about Hinduism and you false claiming to be a Hindu.
        # perhaps you have mistaken that Muhammed raped a 6 years old girl ayesha. So maybe you can organise a pedophile festival how you sacrifice Innocent animals to celebrate Ibrahims willimgness to sacrifice his son.

    Admin, if these were hindu girls instead of muslim girls and muslim boys instead of hindu boys you would have said love jihad, sex jihad, rape jihad, etc, taqiyaa, love for lust and all these type of words that you invent on islam and muslim.

      This site is Interfaith marriage with equality. May be wrong but our observation in general is that the Muslims will ask the Hindu to convert to Islam and have children 100% Muslims (100% my way, 0% your way). In most cases, the Hindu will not ask the Muslim to convert to Hinduism and will be happy to take children to Mosque and also mandir 50%-50% times.

      Muslims have rights to ask their Hindu lovers to convert to Islam, and that is not the problem we have. However, in the initial years of love, they don’t disclose this truth. This is Love-Jihad or taqiyya (lies and deception) to expand Islam.

      This site is created to expose interfaith lover’s issues (all sides: Hindu, Muslim, Jew, Sikh, Christians, etc). It is up to the readers/lovers to decide what is right for them.

And yes your juvenile brother enjoys in “children correction center”, if you don’t know, nirbhaya case, the guy who master minded couples rape, who raped that poor Hindu girl twice put iron rod in Hindu girls vagina and was responsible for her brutal death, this monster is a Muslim, Mohammed afroz, look how peaceful.
