Religious intolerance

As an Indian, it IS a relief that the world has woken up, albeit late, to how we have been bleeding for decades at the hands of Islamists, and to a lesser extent, Christianist forces with their respective versions of jihad. And now, Hinduist ones seem also to have joined the bandwagon with their "retaliation" as in the Gujrat state.

Peace upon earth can descend only when all casting of avaricious eyes at the religious market share, in the form of religious conversions, be they euphemistically called proselytization, evangelism or whatever, end for good.

"All paths lead to the same goal". There are no "greater" or "lesser" religions. There are greater and lesser human beings who make the difference; the lesser ones cause all the harm and they must be isolated.
