My take about violence doesn't depend on any marker one may give a person or a set of persons.
It's always about people who use violence instead of more peaceful means...and it's about those people who instigate violence for their personal gains and political agendas.
If an organisation known to strive for violence, I name it (like I named ISIS) but - for me - it's not the religious label that imports but the fact that it is a very, very large set of people with a very, very bad mindset that gets support from people with - most probably - very selfish agendas.
The excuse often given for hating Muslims is that the adepts of Islam want to make Islam THE world religion...(hello, Christianity, you listen?)
However using violence is not part of peaceful Islam but part of humans (mostly men!!!) who exploit the Quran for their own interests... and teach that around the world.
As for Hitler...well, I definitely mean the German autocratic leader Adolf Hitler who blinded people - before resulting to terror - by bettering the German infrastructure after the damages of the lost WW1 by - among others - building highways and streets (and expanding the railway-net)...all this for a good use in the long planned annexation of lost regions/countries.
The current Indian government is an autocratic one and - of course - they want to remain in power...so, they have to give people something they may perceive as positive...built with taxes that aren't used to better living conditions and reduce unemployment.
It's showing off... and the knowledge that you can't only result to fear and violence and crooked jurisdiction...some nice things should be given, too...right?
I won't accuse you of being a supporter of this government...that is your freedom of choice. So, please, let me my freedom to feeling sad for a country that could blossom in a gorgeous way but is denied that.
