Okay, why exactly is this article doing its best to make Muslims seem like complete victims in all this? I seem to remember Islamists starting a big hubub by setting a traincar (and a few busses packed with women and children) on fire killing dozens and dozens of people. The alleged 'hundreds of muslims killed while police looked on' seems to be something of an exageration to make Islam look like the lesser of two evils...just my opinion...I could be wrong.

Moslems in India are not a peaceful bunch, and the incident you mention was not unprovoked, but they have been bona fide victims of unprovoked Hindu Nationalist violence in some cases. The destruction of the 700 year-old (I don't remember the exact age) Babri mosque a few years ago, and the accompanying riots and killing is one example. Hindu Nationalists have also harrassed and assulted Christians in many incidents.

As a threat, I agree with you that Islam is the worst of them, but Hindu naitonalism is also an evil not to be ignored.
