All he said is that it's a two-sided quarrel. I seem to recall that the Hindus demolished an ancient mosque a couple of years ago to build a Hindu temple in its place.

And what seems to get left out of this article is that the Hindus AND the Muslims in India delight in killing Christians.

I tend to agree with you that we have more to worry about from the Muslims--not because of what both sides do to each other in the Indian subcontinent, but because Islam is an expansionist religion, while Hinduism is not, and also because Muslims are everywhere, while most Hindus are in India where they don't bother us.

Your comments are well-taken. But please allow me to respond:

"All he said is that it's a two-sided quarrel. I seem to recall that the Hindus demolished an ancient mosque a couple of years ago to build a Hindu temple in its place."

The "ancient mosque" that you talk about was actually an incredibly important Hindu temple, famous because it was in the Ramayana, the "Odyssey" or "Iliad" of India, that was destroyed by Muslims who razed it and then obscenely built a Muslim mosque directly on that site. But, of course, in keeping with delightful and lovely Muslim philosophy, this was after they raped nearly every woman in the city, and bloodily slaughtered all Hindu men and boys, young and old alike. It was in Ayodhya. Go check it out.

"And what seems to get left out of this article is that the Hindus AND the Muslims in India delight in killing Christians."

Again, you are either misinformed, or are believing the propaganda. Hindus do not kill Christians, Muslims do. This is because in a Hindu's eyes, because there are so many "paths" or "ways" to G-d, even a Christian is viewed as a fellow Hindu, more or less. But it would never degrade to the outright slaughtering of Christians, because it is totally at odds with Hindu and Indian philosophy, which preaches tolerance and embracing divergent viewpoints. How else would one Hindu who believes in "Shiva" accept another Hindu who praises "Vishnu?" Hindus are also basically vegetarians, and woould not even kill an animal to survive. Think about that, and get back to me.

"I tend to agree with you that we have more to worry about from the Muslims--not because of what both sides do to each other in the Indian subcontinent, but because Islam is an expansionist religion, while Hinduism is not, and also because Muslims are everywhere, while most Hindus are in India where they don't bother us."

On several fronts you are right, when you say that Hinduism is not an expansionist religion, and so it does not care who converts and who does not, whereas Islam is an expansionist religion, which cuts and spears anyone in their path that does not convert. But Hindus are everywhere, and they get along with and contribute to nearly every nation that gives them residence. Look at the computer and internet based technology revolution here in the states, for example. The reason you are enjoying such dynamic graphics, fast internet speed, and the ability to craft nice HTML codes is due, in great part, to Indian Hindus from Silicon Valley, California and Bangalore, India. Vinod Khosla, for example, invented the Pentium Processor for Intel.
