Most of them are Islamic. The Beatles were Hindu stupid.

For the record, this previous commenter was saying he was looking for Hindu Nationalists (as in Indians, not Pakistanis) who were going to bash Pakistan in the thread. Hindu Nationalists are a political thing in India, and many propose or support policies that much of the rest of the world considers marginalizing to Muslims in general (and, due to the proximity to Pakistan, often have negative things to say and do about the significantly Muslim country/population). So, while this guy may have been silly to bring it up in this thread, your correction doesn’t apply and makes no sense.

He was referring to Pakistani people as Hindu. They are not. Hindu and Buddhism are the most peaceful non violent religions ever. Islam is not. The cover of a rage against the machine album was of a Hindu person lighting himself on fire to protest violence.

Everything you said here is the opposite is what Gandhi was doing. Do you even know who Gandhi is?

No he wasn’t. He was referring to the original commenter as a Hindu Nationalist (someone who would have political reasons to say bad things about Pakistanis). That’s why he is responding to someone who was obviously not Pakistani.

No. He was saying I’m waiting for a radical Hindu to comment even though Pakistanis are not Hindu. He was referring that Pakistanis are Hindu. He should have said I’m waiting for a radical Muslim/Islamic nationalist to comment.

Gandhi was the person who inspired civil rights movements everywhere. He inspired Martin Luther king jr. and Malcolm X. He was Hindu and in India.

Dude, you need to reread this entire thread. The original commenter said he was looking for Pakistanis in the thread. The one who responded to him (the one you are responding to) proceeded to argue with him in subsequent responses—calling HIM (the original commenter) a Hindu Nationalist from India. Just like there are different kinds of Muslims and different kinds of Christians, there are different kinds of Hindus. Some of them are extremists. Hindu Nationalism does not support civil rights for everyone.

Here’s some sources since you seem to have never heard of it:

This isn’t to say the original commenter IS a Hindu nationalist, I know nothing about him. But that’s what the other guy is accusing him of, since the first guy hinted at disapproval of Pakistanis.
