Muslims and Hindus

Radical Muslims don't just hate Christians and Jews, but apparently, Hindus too. "A mob of nearly 7000 Muslims attacked a group of Hindu pilgrims in West Bengal, a state in Eastern India..." The Muslims were throwing "gas cylinders and Molotov cocktails at the pilgrims, burning down the camp building and trapping 180 men, women and children, along with fifteen police officers, within the confines of the compound" (Jihad Watch).

So why do we never hear of protests and demonstrations by peaceful Muslims who are sick and tired of the radicals who supposedly pervert Islam? Don't they care? Is the media ignoring them? Are they afraid to speak up? Or are their numbers too small?

Fundamentalist violence

The violence perpetrated by fundamentalists that started during the Christmas season has only escalated since then (MNN). Three guesses as to which fundamentalists.

Wrong.

Hindu fundamentalists in India are targeting Christians because Christians have been leading Dalits (Untouchables) to Christ by the thousands. These Hindu fundamentalists apparently want nothing to do with the Untouchables but they also don’t want the Untouchables to forsake the very Hindu system that oppresses them.
