Dear Seeker, Agreed there are a few lunatic fanatics in Hindus. However, fanaticism in Hindus is an exception, whereas in Islam it seems to be the rule. Moreover, fanaticism in Hindus is comparatively new and is of a reactive nature, not like the pro-active Islamist jihad. Also whenever a Hindu commits an act of fanaticism there are 'n' numbers of Hindus who speak out and act against them. The same does not hold true for Muslims. Agreed that all Muslims are not fanatics but why don't they voice their concern and opposition to the fanatics. By remaining mute spectators they are in a way supporting the cause of the fanatics. So no cause to complain that Islam is being branded in general as anti-peace. History shows that Islam and its followers have always resorted to violent means for enforcing their thoughts and ideas. Of course, as I said earlier sane and peace-loving followers of Islam have been rare and continue to be an endangered species if not extinct.
