text: religious persection in the usa ?!!?! in wikipedia... please comment !? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/religious_p...  religious persecution in the usa... do you agree ?  read who is religiouslys persecuting who (al quaida vs usa)  ----- "some people believe that both the united states and al qaida are involved in religious persecution. the september 11, 2001 attacks on the united states have been suspected by religious figures of happening because of america's relative secularity; though, it should be noted that al qaida never once in their public statements used that as a justification for 9/11 or any other attack. the reasons al qaida give for their attacks are the presence of american troops in saudi arabia, the cradle of islam, which they consider sacrilege and occupation of muslim territory, and the support by the united states of israel. christian churches have been bombed in pakistan and there have been attempted attacks on churches elsewhere..."    finish reading this in wikipedia before commenting... i agree. it confirms what i have gathered here and there in news or articles about relegious percecutions.  it is really sums up the situation here.      as far as stand of muslim terrorist organization about us presence in muslim countries is concerned it may be right upto some extent. but it does not condone their world wide activities. their own government is also responsible for the us presence. they need to look there and start cleaning up their system.     the terrorist organization have become a buissness. most of the recruits are jobless youth who not only get money(collected in the name of islam by thier rich brothers) for this world and promise of heaven if dead. then they go out , kill innocents , work as mersinaries of muslim countries in countries like india. we have even hindu(ulfa) and communist terrorist organization funded by anti indian countries.  the big talk about justice for islam is a sham in such incidents. how can ethnic cleansing of hindus from kashmeer can or otherwise innocent deaths are going to improve conditions in saudi arab. why if muslims are in majority in a small area they start asking for free islamic country but when in minority they want others to be secular?  i am not happy with the situation and really have not much idea as how to change it while keeping  a ballace; so that it does not turn into percecution nor the guilty could slip by.  as i scrolled to other pages such as hinduism i know it to be accurate first hand.-----  " the persecution of hindus has existed throughout history. ..in bangladesh ..from the partition of india in 1947 until today. hindus who initially ... 30% of the population there have now dwindled to around 10%. almost all of those driven out are now refugees in the north eastern states in india. this ethnic cleansing has gone largely unnoticed by the rest of the world.  ...report documents the long history of anti-hindu atrocities in bangladesh..... including targeted attacks against temples, open theft of hindu property, and rape of young hindu women and enticements to convert to islam, have increased sharply in recent years ...  but that is only the latest chapter ....estimated loss of 20 million bangladeshi hindus is because of an ongoing genocide and forced exodus....   hindus in  pakistan have declined from 23 % of the total population in 1947 to less than 2% today.........state-sponsored religious discrimination against hindus through bigoted "anti-blasphemy" laws.. millions of hindus being held as "bonded laborers" ...in rural pakistan, something repeatedly ignored by the pakistani government. pakistan aggressively portrays its struggle against india as a hindu-muslim conflict, making it clear that its own hindu minority is fair game for persecution.  even within india, the pattern is the same. the combination of pakistani-sponsored violence and local anti-hindu sentiment has led to a similar "religious cleansing" of the kashmir valley, where almost all the hindus have fled.  much like the bangladeshi hindu refugees in india, the kashmiri hindus are an unpalatable subject for many indians, an ideological embarrassment for some people who feel uneasy about discussing the persecution of hindus by muslims. ... ignoring the campaign launched by various muslim groups to use public threats and violence, including murder, to terrify the local hindus into leaving.  some indians ... do not want to be reminded about the problems of hindus outside their milieu. and for some in the indian intelligentsia, it is a badge of honour to distance themselves from these pogroms as a mark of their supposed enlightenment, oddly trashing their own ethos in the process. many more indians are reluctant to speak out against atrocities committed against hindus for fear of being labeled "communal". merely speaking about human rights for hindus is for them a form of communalism.  ........ human rights activists in b
