Not just Moslems (though the majority of those killed are the victims of Moslems), Hindus have done killing as well.
It was a couple of years ago that a gang of Hindus killed a Catholic priest and only 55 of sexually assaulted a nun...
Even with the great works of Mother Teresa in India, Christians still have trouble with Hindus.
