Legend, Aldous Huxley said: "Christianity and Mohammedanism (all obsessed with time)"
#India #Islam #Hinduism
"Unlike early Judaism, #Christianity and #Mohammedanism (all obsessed with time) Hinduism and Buddhism have never been persecuting faiths, have preached almost no holy wars and have refrained from that proselytizing religious imperialism which has gone hand in hand with political and economic oppression of colored people."

The triumph of Christianity over the pagan religions of ancient Rome led to the greatest historical transformation the West has ever seen: a transformation that was not only religious, but also social, political and cultural. Just in terms of “high culture,”
“The Bhagavad-Gita is the most systematic statement of spiritual evolution of endowing value to mankind. It is one of the most clear and comprehensive summaries of perennial philosophy ever revealed; hence its enduring value is subject not only to India but to all of humanity.”

“Too much insistence on the fatalism inherent in their [Arabs’] religion has reduced them to the condition of static lethargy and supine incuriousness in which they now find themselves”
Huxley’s few references to Mohammedanism indicate a dislike for that religion also.
In the essay “In a Tunisian Oasis,” published in The Olive Tree. he writes that “Too much insistence on the fatalism
inherent in their [Arabs’] religion has reduced them to the condition of static lethargy and supine incuriousness in
which they now find themselves” (p. 281). He blames the Arabs’ religion for the fact that “half their babies die.
and that, politically, they are not their own masters” (p. 290). This “static lethargy and supine incuriousness”
which he attributes to the Mohammedan religion sounds rather incongruous when juxtaposed with the comment
he made about Mohammedanism some eight years later in The Perennial Philosophy:
Primitive Buddhism is no less predominantly cerebrotonic than primitive Christianity,
and so is Vedanta, the metaphysical discipline which lies at the heart of Hinduism.
Confucianism, on the contrary, is a mainly viscerotonic system—familial,
ceremonious and thoroughly this-worldly. And in Mohammedanism we find a system which incorporates
strongly somatotonic elements. Hence Islam’s black record of holy wars and persecutions—a record
comparable to that of later Christianity, after that religion had so far compromised with unregenerate somatotonia
as to call its ecclesiastical organization “the Church Militant.” (P. 158)
