So are you saying all Muslims want Hindus dead if they don’t convert?
I’m a Hindu who grew up in the Middle East (Bahrain), and the answer is yes. You can try and paint as nice a public picture as you like, but would you, say, criticize another Muslim? Would you criticize Osama Bin Laden? Here? In writing?
That’s bullshit. It comes down to extermism again. There’s a lot of tension between India and Pakistan. Muslims in India are attacked as well. See the link below:
Even from the above story, I wouldn’t come to the conclusion that all Hindus want Muslims dead. It’s extremism. Of course, you rarely hear the attacks on Muslims.
I’m a Muslim and I’m not part of the Taliban like some idiots on this site would think. I, as well as all my friends who are Muslim, and my family have nothing against any other religion (except extremists).
Some of my best friends are Hindus and Christians. My cousin married a Catholic (and he didn’t have to convert). Another cousin of mine is married to a Hindu.
And I have no problem with criticizing other “Muslims” like Bin Ladin, the Taliban, or Al Quaeda. They use a distorted view of the Quran to kill thousands of innocent people (most of them being Muslims themselves). I hope they’re all captured and brought to justice.[/quote]
For the record, I nearly married a Muslim woman, the relationship ended for reasons that were not religious. She was okay with me keeping my faith, her Imam was not. However, that isn’t my question. You point out Bin Laden as being a “Muslim” not a Muslim. Would you accept the same from, say, someone who called a priest who rapes a boy a “Christian” as opposed to a Christian?
I am not sure how much, or even what news you’ve been watching, but when the conflicts between Muslims and another group (in this discussion, say Hindus) involves the loss of Muslim life, it does get far more media attention than the other way around. Sometimes, it doesn’t even need to involve the loss of life. The destruction of the Babri Masjid (Mosque) got far more airtime than the torching of Hindu pilgrims by Muslim (note the lack of quotes) fanatics.
