Study and gain knowledge of other Religions and their scriptures. But keep firm faith in Gurbani and AkalPurukh. 

Yupp ! so true. 

I have an english pdf of 10 major upanishads and sometimes read little of quran too. When we study other religions and sanskrit , brij bhasha, farsi , punjabi , it helps us understand gurbani better !

Interesting though no Muslim Scholar would make the claim that Krishna was for certain a prophet since Krishna is not mentioned in the Qur'an or Hadiths. Seems like the work of RSS et al.

Actually this is more likely to come from the likes of zakir naik. It was the tactic of zakir naik , the mullah now tagged as terrorist by GoI that hindu scriptures prophesized muhammad as final avatar and thus all devout hindus should worship muhammad and become muslim as he's the final "avatar" of god .

This is right. 

Infact  after learning about other religious beliefs I have appreciated my own faith more. 

It is like always eating indian food and thinking its the best and not tasting other cusines. Its only when you eat other cuisnes which may not be to your liking that you fully appreciate the indian food that you liked in the first place. 

Probably not the best analogy but hope you get the point I am making.

If that is the case it is kind of strange. As when Islam was developing in the middle east 1400 years ago. Hinduism was already flourishing and well established during and before this time in India. 

So why no mention of Hindu or Indian beliefs. Maybe muhammed was  racist towards indians lol

My muslims friend tried that too, started talking about Kalki avatar actually being Muhammad with such a smug look on his face. The look disappeared when I told him Kalki was an avatar (or will be) of Vishnu, a deity Islam rejects. I may also have added in how he's shown to have fallen onto the path of egotism.

Hit the nail on the head. And if ever we find ourselves being questioned, or in a debate with someone of another faith, we'd at least have an understanding of their angle, perhaps even a response.

We know that polytheists were present in Mecca at the time of Mohammed. Idols were worshipped around the Kaaba. Whether any of the polytheists were Hindus is unknown and since the idols were destroyed, we don't know if they were of Hindu deities. It's a possibility. The Qur'an + Hadiths do not mention Hindus by name. Pretty certain Mohammed would've come across them though.

Aha I don't know about racist but he certainly despised the polytheists who had taken over the "house of God" i.e. Kaaba.

Hilarious. Typical preachy bakwaas. Without any historical evidence he's just another barking dog. With a terrible stutter... And a pent he long outgrew...

strange then how he mentions the daughters of allah - 3 minor goddesses of the quesh pantheon

taken from quora :

Pre-Islamic Mecca was a hotbed of paganism and polytheism. It is said 360 idols surrounded the Ka'aba and were worshiped as gods. Thus, when Muhammad first began preaching monotheism and denouncing the other 359 gods, he was met with much resistance and hostility.

In an attempt to appease the Meccans, buy some time and bring relief to his followers from hostility, Muhammad one night had a revelation found in Surah 53:19-22 which originally read and deduced as, "Have you thought of al-Lat and al-Uzza and Manat the third, the other; these are the exalted ones whose intercession (as muhammad prostrated along with other muslims,pagans and “jinns” after reciting the verse,{sahih 6,60,385}) is approved."

Al-Lat, al-Uzza and Manat were three female deities, known as daughters of Allah. By this revelation Muhammad acknowledged these deities as worthy of worship and whose intercession in heaven was to be sought. Acknowledging these deities had the desired effect. Later (as it screwsup the tribal israeli yahwist concept of monotheism ), the angel Gabriel chastised Muhammad for uttering these verses and informed him that Satan, not Allah, had put these words in Muhammad's mouth and they were” imaginary” beings idolized by earlier arabic gen(q 53:23). Thus, these verses are infamously known as the Satanic Verses ) (Quran22:51:53). (Sahih 006, 060, 385.)( al-Tabari Vol. 6 p107–109)
