Yes the extremists are the same. But the impact is quite different.
You dont see Hindutva’s taking arms and killing people in the name of god relatively like Islamists.
Even leave that topic. The proportion of Hindus turning to extremism is far lesser than that of Muslims turning towards extremism.
I wonder why Islam, the so called religion of peace, have produced so many extremists to spread Islam.
While you have claimed that blasphemy laws don't have a place in Quran, the events happening around the world (even Pakistan has blasphemy laws) make it difficult to believe.
1. Trust me, I have some of the most pleasant people I have met from Muslim community. It also gets me perplexed as to what drove people from certain regions to be so aggressive towards other religious communities??
2. With Pakistan, I understand the hatred towards Indians as so much of blood is already shed in both countries. But if you can notice one key difference which is India is fighting for Kashmir (as we believe its our territory and our people, but not for religion) while Pakistan always brings up the religion. You can see the hatred from few poster like
@sweep_shot a Bangladeshi with no bad blood with India, yet has deep hatred for India.
The same case with Israel vs Palestine issue and others. I am not sure people here understand but, in India support for Palestinian suffering is quite huge even among non-muslims. Reason, people are humans first. Some may see Israel’s actions initially as a retaliation effort but most people doesn't supports the on-going war.
But what becomes difficult to understand is that, every thing has to be looked with religious lens for muslims. And people get sick of it eventually. Why this has to be the case with Muslims?
3. I understand spreading Islam is part of your beliefs. But if the religion itself asks for people to do this, wont the followers be brainwashed to follow it aggressively? Why do muslims have to showcase their religion in every aspect?
Just think of it as what over marketing exposure does to products. People praying on roads, demanding special rights for prayers, etc. How justifiable is this?
4. I have read quite a few times here people claiming that, Islam teaches their religion is only true religion. Doesn't that mean, other religions are not true? I mean look at the above post from
@Technics 1210 . He already decided that, muslims and Hindus cannot co-exist on one land.
Hinduism didn't teach that, other religion is wrong. But if Islam teaches it, I wonder with whom the issue lies with?
