Not really... they do this stuff to each other. The most recent attack by the Hindus was in retaliation for a recent attack where Muslims set a train on fire and burned Hindus alive. The Hindus retaliate, then the Muslims, and so on..... but these sorts of squirmishes tend to be relatively brief. The Muslims and Hindus do get along very well on a day to day basis. Most of the Muslims there prefer to live in India than in any of the Islamic Nations.... India is a democracy and a religiously tolerant one at that. The problem is that large uneducated masses are easilly gathered and persuaded.
