Christianity does not tell any one to throw someone who is black. Christianity does not support slavery. Christianity does not tell any one to torture people. Christianity does not tell any one to torture asians. Religion cannot take responsibility for the mistakes made by some cruel humans. A true christian never do such kind of cruelties. It is only those who have a label 'christian' but do not follow it sincerely are doing these sort of ugly things.
Christianity belives non-violence. Jesus Christ never went for war nor did he torture any one. But the problem in hinduism is that disrimination based on caste is written in the religious texts and so is given some authentication. But in christianity all are equal. Any one can enter the church for worshipping. No one can stop a non-christian to enter the church for worshipping.

Did you read those Hindu religious texts? For your kind information, Hindu religious texts also do not support the caste system of today? The Hindu religious texts had a "varna" system, which is purely an indicator of spiritual progress. It is neither inherited by birth from parents nor does it have anything to do with one's profession. It is purely spiritual. According to that EVERYONE is a sudra at birth (lowest level of spiritual progress). A son of a brahmin is not a brahmin, but a sudra.
So, please do not mix up things. The "varna" system mentioned in religious texts has nothing to do with the caste system practised in the society.

What do you mean by sudra? Why every new born is to be considered as sudra?

There are four levels of spiritual progress. The lowest level is called "sudra". At birth, everyone is at the lowest level of spiritual progrtess - the sudra level. "Janmanaa jaayathe sudra". As we mature spiritually, our varna increases to the highest level, which is "Brahmana". Do not look at the terms "sudra" and "brahmana" with today's poisonous meanings. In those days, they were simple words, which conveyed a person's spiritual progress, nothing more.
A "brahmana" is considered to be a "dwija" - twice-born. When you reach the highest level of progress, you look at the world in a totally different way. Everything is God to you. It is as though you have taken a second birth in this world.
It is just like starting from LKG, completing schooling, graduation, post-graduation and so on - the different levels of education.
Similarly, the different levels of spiritual progress.

Hindus believe in NonViolence. That is why India being in a third world is a democratic country. Here people with different language, food habit, culture, tradition live amicably.
It is possible because Hindus are in majority here in India.
You may show some examples telling about terrorism in some states, but the truth is they are anti-socials, get helps from our enemies and they can never disintegrate India.
