If Hindus were as radical and as easily provoked as muslims, there will be no SECULARISM in India. For example, in most cases muslims purchase lands in Hindu areas and build their houses. Hindus do not protest. In TamilNadu a lot of muslims are lease holders of Hindu Temple lands. In Mylapore, Chennai, a muslim runs a watch shop just opposite the famour Mylapore Kapaleeswarar Temple. On all sides he is surrounded by Hindus. But he is peacefully running a business for several years. It is in the interests of the muslims that Hindus are NOT radicalised. But the present trends are not good. The behaviour of "Ruling Hindus", "social activists" and the media, are all insensitive to Hindu feelings. The Media is full of twisted news. People like Lallu "sponsor" reports like the U.C. Banerjee white-wash on Godhra. Omar Abdullah says, "I speak as a muslim ... [then] and an Indian". These affect all Hindus. They think, "What has 60 years of forbearance and patience brought us?" A back-lash will come. But riots are no good for anyone. No winners and losers. It is not like a game of cricket. One side wins and one side loses.
Look at the Sri Lankan conflict. The Tamils were very soft and quiet for years when the Sinhala were extreme. The Tamils turned out to be very good militarily. Except that in India, the "soft" Hindu psyche belongs to the majority. Too frequently speeches and events tend to push Hindus towards making a change to their psyche. That is a pity.

What is stupid in what he said? Do you think that Hindus should be radicalised?

Albert Adi-badla, Ah, my old "badla" friend, who has more anger than the grey stuff!! With your "Albert" name, you do NOT match the impartial and cool judgment of my British and American friends with the same "Albert" name. One such Albert is a Krishna Devotee. He gives lectures on Vishnu Purana. He is also an M.Sc and worked for an MNC as a research scientist.
I wish their numbers will increase one day. Let it take another 100 years. But they will increase and the world will once again, after 7,000 years, start living "Sanatana Dharma". You are not going to stop that Adibadla. Save yourself from heart-burn. Relax. Our Avatars are based on the true experience of our (I include you in that "our") ancestors. Sanatana Dharma will be saved from all sorts of Asuras. You may not be around to see that, nor I. But it would happen. Read Nostradamus. Read ancient Hindu Scripture. Please listen to M.S. Subba Laxmi's "Meera Bhajans" to control your anger. You will benefit more through Hindu Philosophy, which alone, gives an excellent understanding of "human psyche" and of "human weaknesses". You are, if I may say so, beset with "Agnana". Earn "Gnana" to save yourself.

Hey Kristina, So it is okay for you to love the Westerners who have converted to your Narcissic religion! But when some Indian has a Western name it must be from a missionary! By the way there is a very thin line between Agnana and gnana just the way name says. You live somewhere comfortably in west. may be you need to take a hike to India and experience common man's life in India instead of blinding yourself with Hinduism. Then probably you will understand why people do what they do!

Are you saying that the common men in India do not consist of Hindus?

Typing in bold letter will not provide any logic to your argument. If you keep pushing people around they do retaliate. when that moment comes, some people take the advantage of the situation to achieve political and financial gains. Media and intelligent people (with clear head and good heart) have to understand this and act accordingly.
