Mohammedans have killed thousands of people, burned thousands of cities, raped thousands of women, and forced people to become Mohammedans at the point of the sword. In the fourteen hundred years they have been on the earth they have been just a curse! But they are a religion. All these religions don't have any religious quality. The religious quality comes through meditation, and meditation has nothing to do with organization. It is something... you have to go inwards; organization is something outside you. You need not go to a church to be religious, or to a synagogue to be religious. You have to go inside yourself. That makes one a mystic, a scientist of one's own interiority. And only the few people who are doing this inner search are truly religious. All the religions should be stopped from being given tax-exempt status. They have done only murders, rapes; they are criminals. It is only a meditative person who becomes silent, serene, centred, reaches to his innermost core. From there arises the fragrance of truth, love, compassion. He will not be a Christian, he will not be a Jew. He will be only a mystic, one who has known his own mystery. The way of religiousness is not an organization, it is an individual inquiry. The very word "leader" is ugly. It is political. Laws are for man; man is not for laws. Jesus is not religious, is not meditative -- and the whole of Christianity goes down the drain. Mohammed is not meditative, is not a religious person -- and the whole of Mohammedanism is nothing but a political strategy, a lust for power. These are the people who have created all the poverty in the world. These are the people who are still teaching against birth control. That means more poor people, and more clients for them to convert to Catholicism, to Christianity. Their interest is not in the sufferings of the poor, in the sufferings of the orphans. Their interest is in more orphans, more Catholics. Now there are six hundred million Catholics in the world; naturally, the pope becomes one of the greatest powers. Otherwise, he is just a German; nothing less, nothing more. It is a politics of numbers. That's why you should not ever get interested in organizations. The moment you become organized, you become interested in numbers. Only one thing remains: it is your journey inwards, which is the essence of religiousness. And this is not out of any ego, it is simply out of a humble experience of truth. And truth is going to be victorious.
