The list goes on and on. It seems to me Muslims are peaceful until you disagree with them. Why Is There No Hinduphobia? The usual comeback to this is you cannot judge all Muslims by this “one action”, but the problem is this is not a one-off incident, is it? When can we start judging the faith by the actions of those who follow it? Literally everyday you can read about something blowing up in the name of Islam. When do a few cases add up to a lot of cases that give cause for concern? I want to know what more Islam needs to do before it is recognised as a violent religion. There are about 2.5 million Muslims and roughly 1.5 million Hindus in the UK with Hindus being the second largest minority group in the country, yet there is no such thing as Hinduphobia. Why do you think that is? Are racists that picky? Not to be too crass here but the usual skin tone of the stereotypical follower of the two religions is quite similar, is it not? If Islamophobia is the child of mindless racist Westerners, surely Hinduphobia should exist as well? Yet it does not, and wherever you sit on this fence, why do you not think about why it does not? Better yet, go on Youtube.com and look up any videos regarding Islam, then llook at the top two voted comments and you will see how many people see Islam in a positive light. I think the only ignorant people are the ones refusing to acknowledge the danger Islam represents, and the rightful growing fear of non-Muslims.
