But your statement that it also mean " that God is my God " is misleading . It depends on the doctrine of that monotheistic religion .
\u201cMonotheism\u201d does not mean \u201cGod is one.\u201d It means \u201cthere is one God, that god is MY god, all others are FALSE gods.\u201d

There is no concept of \u201cfalse gods\u201d in Advaita or Hindu philosophy, no concept of \u201cshirk.\u201d
Monotheism is an imperialist ideology of intolerance and erasure. https://t.co/WsDX6pzK5R
From Islamic monotheism , Allah never said that he is Creator of Arabs . He is Creator if all in creation . So from a doctrinal pov your statement doens't hold up .
B ) how did u write Advaita = hindu philosophy ? Do u want me to mention difference between Advaita and dvaita ?
" There is no concept of shirk in Hinduism " . This is a red hearing , No One claimed Hinduism also has concept of shirk .
2. Tribal God ? In Islamic doctrine . No where it says Allah is Only God of Quraish tribe .
It was always " ilahi n Naas " , not to mention islamic was always about one's belief & not race/ethnicity , So it was never tribalistic in its Nature
Most Hindus don\u2019t understand this (Sikhs do even less).

Neither Sanatan nor Sikhi is \u201cmonotheistic.\u201d Monotheism is an ideology of supremacy, the elevation of a petty tribal god to the pretense of the Universal. It is ignorant tribalism universalized.https://t.co/yZkdxr7emP https://t.co/JDhOHnmGIT
