I understand that you take issue with the Abrahamic religions, but I'm sure you realise that just because you dislike them, they're not always the main perpetrators of the problem. Hinduism itself (since you brought it up as an 'opposite' to Islam) isn't exactly the beacon of religious tolerance.
PS: When did muslims in India tear down statues of Buddha?

Yes? So have the hindus.

Don't get me wrong, dude, I understand that there are problems in the world concerning Muslim extremists. I think just about everyone does. It pretty much goes without saying.

All the religeous and historical sources agree that the place in question was actually what it is believed to be.

I don't think it's fair on your part to try and paint hindus and muslims with the same brush.

I'm currently living in Australia, and recently we've had a large influx of British immigrants. When I ask them why they decided to move to Australia most of them say it's to "get away from all the Muslims". Apparently the suburbs they grew up in are slowly been over run by Muslims, and a lot of buildings being demolished and replaced by mosques.
Could you imagine the inverse happening? 10's of millions of Christians moving to Saudi Arabia erecting 1000's of Christian churches. With a birthrate of 10 per family, slowly out populating Arabs. Also, building 1000's of Christian schools. Setting up Christian law, competing with Sharia law.
Somehow I think the words "Allahu Akbar" would be screamed out a few times. Of course this wouldn't be considered racism, just a bunch of people trying to defend their homeland. It's only racism if white people do it.

That's not the inverse of anything that is happening in real life, dude.

The OP and many others around the world probably started to fear Muslims in general, because like you said, "about everyone does". The same can not really be said about any other religion....... ok, maybe zionists, jews, but they are doing that more underground and much less noticeable than these Muslims extremists, and maybe they are the real masters of those fundamentalist Muslim organization ....oh, and maybe those Christians who were sending all those "missionaries" all over the globe, but they are at least not doing that openly anymore nowadays, at least not so openly anymore......
It is just human for the average people to consider the Islam a threat regardless how many hundreds of millions of those Muslims are peace loving and will never in their lifetime hurt someone else. Simply because of all those openly terror organization in the name of Muslim, and how masses of Muslims seemingly can be so easily provoked and instigated to commit mass unrest and riots. The term Jihad is so oftenly abused in the thousands of years of history, that people in general hearing this Islamic Jihad immediately associate it with terror, war, killings of non-Muslims.....
It is a mistake to think that all Hindus (and Sikhs) are peaceloving.

It is this little place (which you brought up yourself) called Kashmir. Another example would be a little ol' place called Gujrat. This is just from a casual google.

Do you remember news reports from the 1980's when the Shah of Iran was deposed and replaced with Khomeni?
The burning of the Stars and Stripes and Union Jack along with effigies of our political leaders?
You think fear of radical muslim extremism is not justified?
You think radical islam does view the west as satanic and therefore the mortal enemy of their god?
You think the west has nothing to fear from radical islam?
