A nice reminder that Hinduism is an awful backwards religion. Western hipsters give them a pass and it's time for it to stop.

EVERY SINGLE religion / belief system / philosophy has its fanatics. Atheists do too.

But some religions have a greater segment of radicals per capita and those radicals have more influence. You can't compare Christianity in Europe to Islam in North Africa or Hinduism in India.

You're making a false equivalency.

You should never hold an entire religion responsible for the actions of individuals.

The simple truth is that many religions enable and condone extreme activity such as this.

These people wouldn't have rioted because someone cut hair on a Tuesday if it weren't for their religion. Fact.

These people wouldn't have rioted, in these scenarios if they weren't religious, I agree with that, however lots of atheists groups, (normally communists) have killed religious leaders as they want to institute state atheism and they will kill any counter revolutionary. There have also been lots of religious leaders/religious people dead because of hatred for religion by atheists and anti-theists.

Yes, and communism is widely panned because of their atrocities. You're pulling a classic "You Too!" fallacy. You're acting as if the atheistic persecution by communists somehow makes religions above criticism because "Atheists did it too!!"

My post still stands.
