My point was more towards the renown atheists - people like Hitchens and Dawkins. Have they made it a practice to conduct formal debates with prominent Muslims? How about Buddhists or Hindis? Have any of them written books criticizing polytheistic religions like they have the monotheistic Christian faith? I don't believe I have ever heard or seen them do so, so it does bring up the question of why, don't you think?
You really should read more. Here are some videos to help, for starters:

(Geert Wilder has received death threats for this movie about Islam.)
And then we have Salman Rushdie, Taslima Nasrin, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, all ex-Muslims, critical of Islam, with each of them receiving death threats.
You really should quit making bogus, empty, unjustified judgments about these people.
Bearing false witness is wrong. Have you forgotten that?
I'm sure it's an inadvertent slip, however, the meta-religion Sanatana Dharma is HindU while the Indo-European language is HindI
Both are derived from the Persian translation of Sindhu (for the Indus river) -- as the "S" sound in Sanskrit becomes "H" in Farsi
Incidently, Hindi is Prakrit mixed liberally with Persian, hence terms like darwaza which is Farsi
Read up on Swami Dayananda Saraswati, Vinoba Bhave or Baba Amte -- I've not read amte, but the others are pretty critical of various aspects of hinduism
Besides, Hinduism, strictly speaking is not strictly polytheistic
hinduism being a meta-religion includes polytheism, monotheism (with the belief in Ishwara and many Shaivites believing that Shiva is the purest form of Ishwara, ditto for Vaishnavites), pantheism and athiesm -- it is a meta-religion like SGML
Really? Even when a poster says things like Jesus Christ was persecuted and died - that is the only focus for a Christian
only a Moslem or another who denies Christ was God would forget that for a Christian, the fact that Jesus Christ died, ROSE FROM THE DEAD and ascended into Heaven is the focus. Not just a dead Christ
That's not orthodox on Christian doctrines at all...
