Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Why did you delete youre previous comment that I answered and re-create the same here? Is sealioning also a core belief for you or is it a path to moksha?

Anyways, here's my answer. it's the same asit was before. This isn't for you, its for the benefit of anyone who comes across your q and wants an answer.

They call themselves Hindu and they follow Hindutva, the Hindu supremacist ideology. They say their cause is to create a Hindu rashtra (a Hindu nation). Their entire personality is built around the symbols & rituals & gods of Hinduism. If Hindus don't want their religion to be tarnished by association with these extremists and terrorists, then they should so something concrete to stop Hindu supremacists from calling themselves Hindu.

When they stop calling themselves Hindu, I'll also stop calling them Hindu supremacists.

So in your view a person, identifying as Hindu, who feels that their religious duty is to spread love and understanding instead of hate and division has no chance, right? They are accountable for this pogroms and there’s no way out of that because you have already made your mind up that Hinduism is a brutally inhuman ideology.

Are you aware that that’s true for every religion?

How would you refer to a Hindu (or a Christian) who sees it as their religious duty to help their Christian (or Jewish) neighbor against Hindus (or Christians) committing a pogrom?

All Hindu supremacists are Hindu, but all Hindus are not Hindu supremacists. They don't stop being Hindu because they are Hindu supremacists, only Hindus can tell & make them drop the "Hindu" identity from their supremacist ideology. Until that is done, they are Hindu supremacists.

Its quite similiar to all Islamic terrorists are Muslim, but all Muslims are not Islamic terrorists.

replace with religion or ethnicity as needed.
