I don't know about that. I have very conservative Hindu friends, the kind who are ultranationalists and don't like Christian missionaries but remain tolerant of Christianity just as long as it isn't thrown in their face, or have their belief systems trashed, which is what a lot of these nuts do in the course of their so-called "witnessing".

India, through all its faults has done a much better job at promoting "tolerance" than anyone else. It comes with their religion, which has suffered greatly from Muslim invasions over the centuries.

...seriously now, can you really take these people "seriously"?
