Do you ever wonder why Hindus don't go nuclear on us for mass consuming beef?
If you really believe that all your enlightened ancestors are reincarnated as cows, and you too will be reincarnated as a cow if you live enough virtuous lives as a mere homo sapiens, then would you not be prepared to wipe out people who capture the reincarnated souls of virtuous Hindus to be kept in industrial cattle farms, slaughtered, and eaten?
I dunno. Muslims kill people for just drawing a cartoon. Hindus must be extremely tolerant people, comparatively, when you really consider it.
Same reason no other polytheistic faiths historically went on pagan "crusades". You could even compare to the ancient Jews. Their rules about not eating pork was not meant to be universal. It's like: "If you are one of us, if you want to belong, you obey these rules".
Muslims who kill people for drawing cartoons, do so because they believe the whole world must, needs, and ought to be Muslim. Like Christianity, it is a universalistic faith. Hinduism doesn't demand, request or proscribe that Hinduism should be spread to the whole world.
Fame is not flattery. Respect is not agreement.
