Defining Mushrik
It is the same. The one who admits that one believes in multiple gods or polytheism, one is a polytheist. The one who believes in pantheism, is not a confessed polytheist. And we cannot call him polytheist.
we can be close friends with modern mushriks (our Hindu brothers)as Quran is not mentioning about modern mushriks…Quran is only mentioning about mushriks present at prophet times who were confirmed kafir( deliberately denied the truth)…am I correct?
