Had your intentions been just and sincere, you would have vowed that if my arguments turned out to be true you would cheerfully accept them; otherwise you would write a rebuttal to reveal the truth. You would thus have been considered fair in the eyes of the just and held as men of conscience.

Some of them deny that the Lord is the Creator, some of them consider the One God to be three, some among them believe that God once dwelled in Nazareth, while others place him in Ayodhya.

Argue like Plato, become the incarnation of Bacon, borrow from Aristotelian reasoning and dialectic, clasp your hands before your false gods and beseech them for help. Then will you witness whether it is my God who prevails or your false deities. And until such a time that you write a response to my book, it will be shameful and indecent of you to continue to attack Islam in public, or to preach in Hindu Temples that the Vedas alone are the work of the Almighty and true source of knowledge, and that all other Prophets are impost- ers and liars. Friends! Will you not free yourselves from the clutches of your egos? Will you not purify yourselves?
