Upbeat : "I do believe that she has forgiven her husband's and sons' murderers. It's very comforting to know that in Hindu cultures they only murder the priests, pastors and other Christian leaders; whereas in the Moslem cultures their objective is to kill them all."

The Indian courts have sentenced the murderer to death. As a hindu , I am deeply offended by your statement : "It's very comforting to know that in Hindu cultures they only murder the priests, pastors and other Christian leaders".........that shows your prejudice and ignorance. India is a country of 1.1 billion people.

How many christian missionaries have been killed in India over the last 50 years ? 1 million ? 10 million ? Nope. 10 at best. Just ten. 10 christian priests killed over the last 50 years. How many such murders have you heard of ? One. And yet you think it reflects a tendency in hindu culture 'to murder priests , pastors and christian leader'.

Every day 5-10 rapes take place in US. Would you then say that christian culture condones rape of women ?

You miss a point of logic in your response to my post. I don't believe that the majority of Hindus in India are anything other than peace loving. What you miss and need to focus on is that there is an organized and established policy by a Hindu religious/party to eliminate non-Hindu religions in the country. While the violence comes from a minority of fanatics, it still creates a climate of fear and intimidation. While you were offended at my comments, I am offended at the murder of pastors and priests in order to create terror and stifle promotion of the Gospel. I was aware that the murderer has been sentenced to death. Thank you for reminding me of that.

Hmmm... I don't think I've ever heard of someone raping a woman because, he claims, his religion mandates it, or because he wants to defend his Christian faith. So I think your example is downright stupid and baseless.

Oh, please. I've made it very clear that I recognize that such violent Hindus are considered repulsive and vile to the majority of Hindus who I believe are among the most preaceful and likeable people, on whole, as any group I'v ever encountered.

But that's just absurd. I bet there have been 10 BISHOPS killed.

Quite correct -- you're talking a few instances (that are condemned by Hindus) and blowing it up into a case of state persecution. That's wrong and a sever case of generalisin. Compare India to what happens in Pakistan and you can delineate the difference between persecution and atrocities committed by fringe groups
