> The only reason i bother to write this long comment is because it is posted by RMS. I guess thats the motive of the op, may be op can talk about it. RMS speaking against the evils of hinduism will give more weight to clarify the misconception about the hindusim being peaceful religion.

I don't understand this. How is RMS's view on something he is uneducated about 'giving more wieght' ? Would you say that the opinion of a world renowned Sadhu or Yogi on Free Software principles would automatically become worthy of being considered seriously ? I don't get this hero worship. Yes, RMS's view on software have birthed the FOSS movement but lets not fool ourselves into thinking that every opinion of his is worthy of attention.
