For 2 years, I have said that no religious group is as fragile as Muslims. Few days ago, Armin Navabi made a joke about a Hindu goddess and he has ever since received much more disgusting abuse, harassment, and threats than I receive from Muslims for much harsher stuff.
I undoubtedly agree that Islam is fundamentally hateful while Hinduism is not, and that Islam is much more deserving of criticism and mockery than Hinduism, and I wouldn& #39;t even make the joke that Armin made, but it doesn& #39;t matter. The reactions to Armin are uniquely horrifying.
If Hindus are peaceful people who hold the key to fulfillment and meaning, then they shouldn& #39;t make rape and death threats and attack Armin& #39;s dead mother in the most vile ways, all because he called the goddess Kali "sexy," which cannot remotely be compared to the reactions.
Yes, Hindus may consider Kali a mother, but others don& #39;t, just as non-Muslims don& #39;t have to respect Muhammad and non-Christians don& #39;t have to respect Jesus. This behavior by many Hindus does not make them look wise and enlightened, which is supposed to be essential to Hinduism.
