Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam

Seems the Norwegian Killer wanted Hindus in India to assist in his global war against Muslims. Well Mr. Breivik you are asking for help at the wrong place. The religion which calls for "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" which means that whole world is a single family, can't help in your flawed Europe for Europeans ideology. Did Mr. Breivik forget that a similar ideology was used by some Mr. Hitler, calling it Europe for Aryans and I am sure that Hitler's ideology didn't do any good for Europe or the so called Aryan race.
Moreover today you are asking help from Hindus to fight Muslims, when Hindus start growing in Europe, you will ask help from Muslims to fight Hindus. There is no end to hatred, it needs a cause to breed and a keen person can find plenty of causes for fanning his/her hatred. Yesterday it was Jews, today it is Muslims, tomorrow it could be Hindus or even Christians. Since homo-sapiens (name of our species) were born in a small part in Africa, aren't each one of us except a few Africans living in Africa, some sort of immigrant?
There is also a misconception that people who let other beliefs to thrive are weak. In-fact these are strong men and women, because they are confident about their own beliefs. Won't Earth be a better place if everyone respected other's beliefs and didn't try to force their beliefs down others throat? Yet I agree that some practices which are based on out of date beliefs must be stopped unless we don't want to change or grow. Evolution happens not just at level of species but also at intellectual level. It is time we humans evolve from the baser instincts that tie us to cave men trying to safeguard their hunt from other tribes or may be I am hoping a bit too much!!!
