I personally met a missionary woman of the gentlest nature whose entire family was slaughtered by Hindu extremists. Aggressive assaults on the incumbent faith was hardly their style. My own experience with Hindi are that most are very hard to dislike, so I know that these extremists are not at all representative. (Even, here, in America, althought the media downplayed it, at least a few of the schoolground massacres were aimed at Christians.)

But as for your assertions that "no, it could never happen here," I know that personally is nonsense. Plus, I find the viciousness of your attacks slander yourself.

Further, I have friends who are immigrants to the United States from India. I have a much higher regard for them than the Mexican illegals, firstly, because they did not break U.S. laws to enter, but secondly, because they appreciate America, rather than many of the Mexican immigrants I come across who often seem to have outright contempt. I know they expect to do well in America, and few would characterize themselves as felling persecution; only a few, in fact, are Christian. But from the way they have characterized the business atmosphere, there is certainly far more classism, cronyism and nepotism where they come from (and I'm one of the few on this site who acknowledge that classism is problemmatic in the US). It's easy to see how someone who is an "outsider" simply by belonging to a minority religion would have problems with the system.

If you're referring to the Staines' murder, it did disgust most Hindus.

The person responsible for the incident is in jail, for life.

The Staines' Murder Case

"The incident had sparked contrywide outrage leading to the setting up of a judicial commision headed by then sitting judge of Supreme Court D P Wadhwa.
The case was also handed over to the CBI for investigation. "

Finally, extremism is not the monopoly of India.

For example, just two days ago, there was news of a Hindu temple vandalised the in US.

And I recall several Indians/ Americans of Indian descent, who were brutally murdered in the US.
