In Koran, it is stated that there had been many messengers of God before Mohammed and that Mohammed was the last prophet. Many muslims take the word, last, to mean the ultimate and claim that there could be no more prophets and the word of Mohammed can override all the previous ones. There are moderates among Muslims, who take the word to mean the latest -that is -he was the latest in his times and if a new prophet appears, the new one will become the latest. This provides for changes in the outlook. These moderates also believe that Rama and Krishna were also prophets in their own rights. The Hindus should encourage these moderates whose voiices are drowned by the vociferous fundamentalist ones.
