More like ignorant, or worse, deliberately lying to appeal to the ignorance of others.
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.
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.
I know in India, Hindus have created messes - generally against Muslims. I wonder why? Here, my next door neighbor is a Hindu, and she’s really nice. Interestingly, my last neighbor was a Berber Muslim and he was extremely nice as well. So we have good and bad people living amongst us. But that doesn’t mean I like Muslims from Arab countries! In fact, I despise them. As did my Berber pal.
I collect Hindu gods because they are pretty and interesting. Shiva in a wheel of fire is quite intriguing, isn’t he? And I have Ganusha on my writing stand.
