I’m wondering if someone got confused about religion.

So far, Hindus aren’t the problem. I live in an area of the country that has the largest population of them. They’re entirely peace-loving people. Cheap, maybe, but peace-loving.

More like ignorant, or worse, deliberately lying to appeal to the ignorance of others.

That is my understanding as well. I am not aware of large numbers of them shouting "Shiva Ackbar!" before blowing themselves and others, up.

I am not aware of anything in their religion or religious books that specifically urges them to commit violence against believers of other religions.

Unlike the Muslims.

Yes, I get that most of the Muslims in the world are peaceful. It's just that ever so often, the literalist comes along and the moderates stand around watching him instead of stopping him.

So long as those violent admonitions are part of their religious doctrine, it is always going to be a case of waiting for the shoe to drop.
