Perhaps you should check your "facts" ...

I find it a pattern to reverse accusations amongst both Muslims and Hindus. The Hindu leader you mentioned who was killed was killed by communists who came out and said so. It was a convenient excuse for Hindus to get riled up and never stopped.

A few teenagers attacked a few old folks - what's new with that? Hardly any excuse at all to commit murder and mayhem to the level the Hindus have. A crowd of 5000 Hindu men rampages through the countryside slaughtering, burning, and raping - you call that a rection from a peaceful people?

The crowd of 5000 was not in any way isolated. "Forced conversions" is a typical lie borrowed from Islam. It is conveniently used wherever someone is told the truth of Jesus Christ and decides to convert. Islam has used that old fable for centuries.

Any old excuse is goo enough to fight truth because once you get a crowd ramped up, truth flies out the window which the organizers & liars are fully aware of. Take a repressed and impoverished people who have been in that state for decades and a lot of rage and hatred builds up. All you need at that point is someone up tight because a lot of people see the fallacy of their religion and convert to Christianity. Just a spark added to the fuel.
