LOOK AT THE LARGER PERSPECTIVE.

The concept of Jihad is taken from Christianity. Just go to the Book of Joshua in the Bible and read about the Fall of Jericho. Please refer original King James's version as the present avatar of the Bible has been badly bowdlerized beyond recognition. Despite mouthing homilies like God is one and all roads lead to the same destination, the conversion business is thriving. After all Gods are equal but some Gods are more equal than others!

The Christian God is a jealous God(Exodus 20:5; Deuteronomy 4:24)whilst the Prophet(PBUH) of Arabia asserted that there is no God but Allah. We hear it over loudspeakers five times a day.

Being new religions as compared to Hinduism or Judaism, both these faiths HAD TO convert others to their faith or they could not increase in numbers and unless you have sizable numbers you don't have political power and survive as a community. That’s why we are all stymied by vote-bank politics in India. Look at the Parsees and Zoroastrianism-almost at vanishing point. The Greek religion, pre-Islamic Egypt, all gone. Similarly, if Hindus vanish so will Hinduism.

The only Hindu Rashtra Nepal has ceased to exist having fallen prey to another predatory ism-Marxism. And if the traditionally meek Hindus refuse to vanish they are called hostile against their aggressors even though conversion is anathema to pluralism as the status quo is disturbed even as Hindus dwindle in numbers while others grow at their cost. This way one day we will end up like Muslim majority Kashmir or Pakistan earlier where secularism and pluralism, by which the minorities are now swearing by, are the first casualties. Minority aggression surfaces due to State support against protesting Hindus who unfortunately vote as a disparate group and the myopic "secular" politician fully exploits it.
