You need to be a member of ISKCON Desire Tree | IDT to add comments!
we belong to sanatana dharma not hinduism or any other dharma, and its a prime goal of a soul who is in light of this transcendental knowledge and a practicing devotee to preach this message of godhead to every one.
As Lord krishna says in bhagvat gita
vidya-vinaya-sampanne brahmane gavi hastini suni caiva sva-pake ca panditah sama-darsinah
The humble sage, by virtue of true knowledge, sees with equal vision a learned and gentle brāhmaṇa, a cow, an elephant, a dog and a dog-eater [outcaste] .
so its a duty of a devotee to preach to every one especially to the ones who need it the most and apparently those people need it the most.
as bengal and mayapur also is also having good amount of muslim population, so by this they can also have the mercy of lord via krishna prasadam, and can slowly elevate themselves to a higher level of thinking which can benifit them spiritually.
A preacher should never ever differentiate whether someone belongs to any particular caste sect or creed its an aparadha, and thats not a quality of a sadhu as krishna states it, i hope it clears some of your doubts.

Prabhupada said, God is ONE. Many Names.
Allah, Jahova or Jhaveh, Krishna, Rama, Govinda and a millions of others.
The difference in our following the scriptures and respecting other Vaishnavas (lovers of God)
For example, one of the saints of Islam/Judaism/Christianity, named Isaiah, in verse 66:3 said that killing a bull is same as killing a man.
Even though their own saints proclaim this, they do not pay attention to their teachings. They go on eating.
Same thing with the Hindus. Thats why so much go hatya is going on.
Vaishnavas, tend to take scriptures more seriously than any other. This is my observation.
