It's not just faithfreedom, that was just an instance i gave, because it happened to be your sig. There are plenty of sites, books and articles, where our 'allies' including sikhs, buddhists, jains bash us over and over. If these people are allies despite their hindu-bashing, one might as well consider christofascists as allies.

Since you don't know, you shouldn't assume that buddhists are peace-loving, or that they're different from christofascists. One should at least admit the possibility that they're just as bad, considering their track record.

Which is exactly what most of us are doing, either unknowingly or in an effort to make alliances which, sadly, never materialize. Most Hindus, who never miss an opportunity to point out differences between Vaidika Dharma and Christianity/Islam, are surprisingly quiet when it comes to understanding the irreconcilable differences that exist amongst "Indian" religions. In what way are these 'patriots' different from secularists who also chant the same mantra?

I am afraid it is. If Buddhists, Sikhs and Jains don't have the decency to defend Hindus (or in the least, try NOT to offend hindus), why do Hindu bend over backwards to accommodate them? I find this puzzling. Have you ever come across any debate on defending hindus on a sikh/jain/buddhist forum? Impossible, because either they bash hindus or ignore them, but NEVER consider hindus as friends. But in hindu forums, including India-Forum, we are 'fighting' each other to defend those who spit on us. Amazing! Need I say more on why Hindus are getting thrashed all over the world? This is what pathetic people deserve.
Bottom line, Hindus need to focus more on how to consolidate people who call themselves hindus, rather than speculate on whether or not buddhists, sikhs or whoever are worthy of our compassion. They are determined to do without hindus, so let them handle christoislam on their own. So the question is not whether christoislam is dangerous, we all know it is. But to break one's head over what buddhists are gonna do about it is utterly pathetic. Instead, let's worry about what we're gonna do about it.
