India - Muslims told to stop eating beef

[JesusHChrist]

[Aoi Magi]

This is what happens when illiterate bigots study religion.

Beef != Cow

Beef mainly comes from buffaloes, and India is one of the largest exporters of beef in the world and thus gains a major portion of it's revenue from it. But whatever, fuck revenue and prosperity and let religion guide you to a 4th world status.

Well, Muhammadans would ban pork if they were in power. Isn't this just a 'taste of their own medicine'? You get these Saudi funded Fascists who will talk about tolerance and then laugh at the Hindus. The Egyptian government took away the pigs from the Zabaleen under the guise of swine flu and then discovered pigs aren't so bad after all.

Absolutely, and the argument for why religion needs to be kept out of any public policy decision-making.

The surprise at this sort of thing results from the disconnect between

1) what India is advertised to be in American media:  the world's largest democracy, on the verge of embracing capitalist free enterprise and become an honorary western nation, and almost ready to play the part assigned to it by America in America's effort to retain absolute preeminence in the pacific and Central Asia,  and

2) what it actually is: a chaotic, sectarian strife riven nation, not all that far from being a failed state, whose majority hindu population just put a Hindu fanatic into the prime minister's office, who until recently was on United States state department's list of terrorists and gross human right abusers forbidden to enter the United States for conducting pogroms against the Muslim minority while he was a regional governor in India.

Over here in the land of Chevy, Apple Pie and Donald Trump we tend to think of Hinduism as not being as bad as those other nasty religions in provoking its adherents to acts of violence or intolerance. They seem to keep to themselves and not mess with others too much. Many engage in yoga after all!

Then your lot need to read more. Hindus are no less savage than anyone else.
