It isn't beyond the realm of possibility that Sai Baba is
indeed a fraud, although this fact does not say that I personally
think he is. There are, however, many who believe that Sai Baba
is but an Indian version of Pat Robertson, Robert Tilton, or
other televangelists that are regarded by many as crooks. I
haven't read the posting you are responding to, but it seems
to me that you are postulating that such criticism of Sai Baba is
necessarily based on bigotry. Forgive me if I'm wrong.
