Preach harmony of religions in the name of Ramakrishna to these brutes who have no respect for human values. Pointless preaching to Hindus harmony of religions. They already practise it and have been doing so for ages. It is time to stop hypocrisy and visit the dangerous places with the message of peace and harmony. Pointless preaching peace to peaceful people which we, Hindus, are. Address the intolerance problem scripturally where you very well know they exist and do not pretend that all is well with these intolerant and persecuting faiths by cherry-picking passages from their scriptures or from the sayings of Ramakrishna and Vivekananda while conveniently forgetting to mention the criticisms which Swamiji made about them. Come on, be sincere in the name of truth and stop pretending harmony where there isn't any nor is likely to be. Think of these poor girls, the veritable emblems of the Divine Mother who have been reduced to objects of sensual gratification of the worst kind simply because specific scriptural texts allow such exploitation of the infidel. And these are not isolated cases. Over a millennium of world history bears testimony to such dastardly acts in the name of religion. We, Hindus, in the subcontinent have ourselves suffered such tyranny for over 1300 years such that we yet are 'a wounded civilisation', to quote Naipaul.
