Hindu fascism lives on

I don't see how anyone can seriously believe "hindu websites" whatever they are. Most of today's Hindu propaganda is conducted by the same people who assassinated Mahatma Gandhi for being too "soft" on Muslims because he advocated living peacefully with everyone. These Hindu thugs have perverted history and are essentially modern day Nazis who would like to rid India of Indians who have lived there for centuries, ie anyone who doesn't subcribe to their view of Hinduism. And lest you think they are anti-Muslim, I should tell you they are against Christians too.

They ignore the fact that under many Muslim rulers, e.g. Akbar or Tipu Sultan, Hindus flourished. Compare this with Europe throughout most of its history including the Spanish inquisition, or the Europeans in South America. Modern day European values have nothing to do with Christianity - they are a product of the enlightenment, which is really a weakening of the Church not a reflection of its teachings. Jews in Spain were given the choice of converting, being killed or leaving. Most chose to leave - to Muslim countries, not to the rest of Christian Europe.

The current Muslim rage is more likely a feeling of impotence and loss of dignity, imposed on them by the West.
