Lalitha Akki,
Vanakkam! There is nothing in religion that says to kill those who follow different beliefs or to make fun of other religions. In every religion, some clerics in these same religions will take quotations from their religious books and turn it around to fit their selfish needs. They will distort these passages and theach the uneducated masses that God has commanded them to "kill disbelievers or infidels wherever they see them" and it is these same that go into the media and on the airwaves and criticize other religions saying that they are "Satanic" and that their followers will "burn in Hell". But if wee were to read a Bible, a Quran, a Bhagavad Gita or a Tipitaka, there is no one passage in these books stating the things those fanatics say. Every religious scripture calls on its followers to uphold dharma, sharia, religion etc, or that we should protect the righteous regardless of race, caste or creed. But none of the 9 major religions say to kill non believers. Every religion is god. But it is some people in these religions that make all the followers look bad.
