#1 Giving credit where credit is due, in India, radical Hindus are pretty obnoxious. While I could imagine them being against Muslims, who are always in their face, they also have a major down on Christians, pretty much solely because they're not Hindus.

#3 Thanks for the translation. However, I found myself getting lost in the Naked Yoga icon beneath Hindu raging boy.

#4 India understood long before anyone about the "Muslim problem".
That's why they created/gave away the territories that makeup modern day Pakistan to the Muslims, in the hopes that the Muslim minority in India would all move there.
Many did.
It kept India from having problems for many years.
The Muslims in India have a history of building mosques on top of Hindu holy sites, rioting for elevated privileges, and generally pissing off the Hindu majority population.
Hindus, most being vegetarian (and pretty mellow people as well) don't get agitated easily, but when they do... look out.

#5 So the radical Hindus might get into a rumble with the radical Muslims?

You say that like it's a bad thing.

What about the radical Lutherans? Are they coming? And are they gonna bring their shivs?

#6 No, the realistic fear is that Islam will get into a rumble with Switzerland, that there will be terroristic attacks and murder. The issue is not Hindu radicalism or rejection and denigration of Christianity.

One political ideology that calls itself a religion is just more equal than others and must not be criticised under any circumstances. Polite scholarly criticism is just as verboten as crude and vulgar mockery.

#7 Heck, as long as they are burning holy books, they should throw in a few Torahs as well. Let's see which religion throws the hissy fit and which religions don't.

#8 As I recall, I wasn't allowed to say anything when some knucklehead put a crucifix in a jug of urine and called it 'art'.

Because it was 'to make me think', you know.

#9 They should throw a couple copies of Dianetics on there, too.

#10 I have sincerely missed IRB, the face of moderate Islam.
