How can one tolerate an intolerant cult?
How can one justify hating Nazism?
The same way it can be justified to hate imperialistic ideologies masquerading as "religions".
Tolerance is obviously not uniquely Hindu (plenty of pagan cultures had this, something quite alien to Christianity, Islam, Nazism or Communism) but it is a characteristic of Hindu society, ask the Jews or the Parsis (never mind the Syrian xtians who although found shelter among Hindus stabbed us in the back and went over to the Portuguese at the first chance).

If one considers "Nazism" to be an valid object of hatred, is the RSS then to be considered a valid object of hatred?
