Hindu activists are particularly angered by missionaries from some Christian sects who portray revered Hindu gods as false idols. Some even preach that the Hindu religion is the work of the devil.

Of course Christian missionaries should not be beaten or otherwise mistreated. Christianity does have a tendency to condemn all other religions as evil or satanic. This understandably makes non-Christians angry. And this is a trait which is unique to Christianity. Buddhists, Hindus, Moslems and Jews do not condemn all other religions as evil. Not even the fundamentalists in these religions do this. Not even in a holy war against people of another religion. They will say that the people are evil, or that the country they come from is evil, but not that their religion is evil. Only Christians do this.

You are wrong. The Hindus are seeking to make India a fundamentalist Hindu state, and viciously attack all other religions. Did you know that, in India, if you convert to another religion other than Hindu, you have to "register" your conversion with the government? Quit the apologias for the torture and death of Christian martyrs -- it won't do anything for your reputation here on FR.

So I guess all the violent rhetoric about "slaying the infidels" was just someones bad dream after too much pizza?

Right.

Yeah, right. That's why they call us the Great Satan, because we're so evil and they're so lovingkind.
