You (Hindus and Buddhists) are much too willing to tolerate evil in the name of (flawed) "peace". It's not all peachy-keen there. We know about the female infanticide. We know about the forced underage marriages. We know about the abject poverty and persistent class barriers. I have family from India and have seen numerous reports of tortures and murders of Catholic priests by Hindus. Religious tolerance -- YEAH, RIGHT!

Catholic Priest Murdered in Goa State
Eusebio Ferrao recently had spoken out against religious rioting.
March 20 (World Watch Monitor) — March 20 (Compass) – The murder of priest Eusebio Ferrao in Goa state early Saturday morning (March 18) has sent shockwaves through the Catholic communities of India.
Fr. Ferrao, 61, was parish priest of St. Francis Xavier Church in Macazana, a village in the western coastal state. Police said assailants evidently stabbed and hit the elderly priest repeatedly before strangling and smothering him.
Fr. Ferrao’s body was discovered at around 6:30 a.m. when parishioners arrived for morning mass.
Police said the suspects in the murder are two young men from Uttar Pradesh state, identified only as Amit and Manish, aged between 25 and 30 years, who had shared a meal with Fr. Ferrao the night before he was killed.
The police have ruled out theft as a motive, since nothing was missing from the church premises.
While police are baffled, local Christians believe Fr. Ferrao was targeted because of his recently published comments on religious riots in the south of Goa.

Are you being facetious? You cite one example of a murder by some fanatics as something the 1.1 Billion Hindu’s believe or act on?

I could cite thousands of examples by fanatics of any religion, including Christians, murdering people of some other religion, but I won’t extrapolate that to all the good people of that religion. That would be sheer idiocy on my part.

I have known personally upwards of 20,000 Hindu’s in my lifetime (I am quite old) and I have not known a single person who murdered anyone, of any religion.

Hindu’s never fought crusades of any kind, domestic or foreign. So yes, I will remain tolerant of others so long as they do not bother me. But I am not a pacifist. If someone aggravates me, I will react disproportionately more.
