Since the new government started in 2014, the number of cow-related hate attacks against Muslims by Hindus has gone up dramatically.

These pointless, unwarranted acts wouldn't have even occurred if some people just pulled their heads out of some aspects of the nonsensical, outdated age of religion and started thinking for themselves about what they are doing for such a trivial thing... I mean, killing someone over a cow?!? Really?!? :angry:

Why would anyone get so agitated about a cow it's ridiculous, and they think killing a human is somehow better than killing a cow, such idiots

People kill people over cartoons, a cow is slightly less ridiculous.

I don't understand why you are making jokes about this, it's a serious issue.

It certainly is. It is just as important as the scourge of killing people over a cartoon.

More people kill people over cows than cartoons, it's recorded more, and as all Hindus hold the cow as a sacred animal, so it is more widespread. I've personally never heard of a person kill over cartoons before :confused:

A cartoon is a drawing. You are referring to animated cartoons.

I generally refer to animated cartoons as just cartoons and cartoons as comics... :dontknow:

And it's going to keep increasing unfortunately. The issue here is confliction.

Cows are portrayed as holy to the Hindus whereas to the Muslims we are told to slaughter it when it comes to festivals.

I remember back in 2016 where there was a huge colassal between Muslims and Hindus in regards to Hindus banning Muslims from slaughtering any cows on their festival.

Sad.

Personally I think both are just as ridiculous and unjustified, and it's awful to try and make one seem less horrible.
Although I would mention that one involved actively instigated a group of people by targeting a core part of their beliefs while the other, as far as I'm aware, primarily involves killing because of what is being consumed/sold.

While the rest of the world uses 'comic' to describe a collection of cartoons.

Yet if it was dogs they were fighting for you would be fully behind them. Maybe people get so agitated about a cow because they understand all animals have feeling and can suffer.

Yet if it was dogs they were standing up for I bet you'd be right behind them you hypocritical moron. Maybe people get so agitated about cows because they understand that all animals feel pain and suffering.

As I stated it's a religious belief. If this devine order was not commanded then it would not be carried out.

That's where you're misinformed. It is not a made up belief. Do you think Muslims could think of nothing better but to slaughter cows if it wasn't a command?
