“Before Christianity and Islam happened there was no violence in the name of religion on the planet.”

I almost wet myself laughing at that one.

Talk about ignorant.

As for the peaceful, tolerant, Hindu India fantasy…

“Major post-independence communal conflicts include the 1984 Anti-Sikh riots, which followed Operation Blue Star by the Indian Army; heavy artillery, tanks, and helicopters were employed against the Sikh partisans inside the Harmandir Sahib, causing heavy damage to Sikhism’s holiest Gurdwara. According to the Indian government estimations, the assault caused the deaths of up to 100 soldiers, 250 militants, and hundreds of civilians.[94]”

“This triggered Indira Gandhi’s assassination by her outraged Sikh bodyguards on 31 October 1984, which set off a four-day period during which Sikhs were massacred; The Government of India reported 2,700 Sikh deaths however human rights organizations and newspapers report the death toll to be 10,000-17,000. In the aftermath of the riot, the Government of India reported 20,000 had fled the city, however the PUCL reported “at least” 50,000 displaced persons.”–wiki

Just one of many examples I could give.

Compare and contrast with a place like the United States.

I’m afraid old Siva doesn’t have the slightest idea what he’s talking about, even when it comes to his own country.
