Hinduism is non-expanisionist. The same cannot be said of Islam.

"Less expansionist" is a better adjective. Islam seeks to conquer the world. Hindu Nationalists want to dominate a "greater Hindustan," which goes beyond the present borders of India. So yes, I agree Islam is the greater threat, but Hindu Nationalism is not to be dismissed.

You have a point; there is a desire for "Akhand Bharat," which seems to encompass all of British India, and then some. Strange, since from historical sources I've seen, there has never been such a nation, encompassing all those areas.

Still, radical Islam is a much more immediate threat to peace worldwide.
