There were widespread riots during the Partition of India in 1947, with attacks on Muslim minorities by Hindu and Sikh mobs. In 1992, the Babri Mosque was demolished by the Sangh Parivar family of organizations on the basis of their controversial assertion that a Hindu temple belonging to a Hindu god existed at the site before the erection of the Mosque. The demolition was followed by anti-Muslim riots in Mumbai allegedly perpetrated by the nativist Shiv Sena party. The Sangh Parivar family of organisations, has allegedly been involved in encouraging negative stereotyping of Muslims, and in the 2002 Gujarat violence they were allegedly responsible for encouraging attacks against Muslims.

In another incidence of Best Bakery, in city of Baroda, a complete family of 15 was massacred, raped and then burnt. Subsequent riots led to the death of 754 Muslims.

Recently Hindu mobs have attacked Muslim villages after claims were made that cows had been slaughtered for the festivities of eid. In 2005, this caused the destruction of 40 homes and 3 deaths. A police investigation revealed that no cow had been slaughtered in the village. Sangh Parivar Openly Preaches Hatred for Muslims.Gang of 20 going and hiting a Poor guy is not a Masculine activity. What do you mean by terrorism? Is it only planting bombs? No planting hatred is also a kind of terrorism. In fact that is the root of all terrorist activities. These Peoples are worse than a terrorist. This country is for everybody who is loving peace and think of devoplopment of this nation.

There is no right wing Muslim party that get any support from Muslims in contrast to my hindu brethen are proud to vote for right wing hindusim. As a civlised person you must know that right wing Hinduism is no different from right wing Islam or any right wing philosophy. Muslims are voting for secular parties whereas a significant section of Hindus are voting for communal parties, so whose wrong? In contrast You elected the BJP for religious reasons and for bringing down Babari. You elected BJP in Gujarat for murdering Mulsims, so who are more tolerant? You support terror based parties like Bajrang dal, Shiv Sena, RSS, the list is endless.

Muslims are the culprits and not Hindus. It can be seen in the world- Muslims fight with Hindus Muslims fight with Christians and where there are only Muslims they fight each other--Shia & Sunni

Again & again you are selectively pointing out the so called injustice / attacks on the muslims community in India. But if you look into the history of India, it is full of bloodshed of the native hindu people by the muslim invadors. Hindus were massacred in millions, those who did not resist were converted forcefully, the civilization was destroyed completely. And all this was done on the name of the GOD (you say Allah). Surprisingly, the next generations of the converted people started hating their original religion in order to prove their loyalty to their new community. Tolerance & patience are the two things which are totally missing in Islam. You have divided this beautiful earth as Muslim vs. Non.Muslims. You have totally forgotten that you can worship your religion better without hating other's religions. You have forgotten that GOD has created every living species on the earth & is expecting nothing from them. The GOD has not appointed your profet as police or judge to punish the people who are not worshipping by your way or to declare anyone as KAFIR. Islam has done the biggest insult of the GOD by killing the people from other religion on the name GOD. You will have to understand the fact that every human being has a right to exist on this earth irrespective of his faith of way of worship. You have no business to create disorder in this beautiful world & that too on the name of the creator.
