And never have. If you want to read about bloodshed sometime read about the partition of Pakistan and India.

Sometimes it takes a strong government to hold it together, such as Tito in Yugoslavia, the British in India, the communists in the former USSR. I'm not saying those were great governments, I'm just pointing out that they did manage to keep diverse sections of the populace from slaughtering each other.

Hindus and Muslims
"AHMADABAD, India, March 1 — As brutal Hindu-Muslim violence entered its third day, with more than 240 people dead, India deployed troops to the riot-torn western state of Gujarat on Friday to try to restore order. In the latest incident, a Hindu mob burned to death 52 Muslims sleeping in ragged shacks, police said."

I don't think you can say it's a Muslim thing OR a Hindu thing any more than the race riots in the US have been a Black thing or a white thing.

It's always an "us versus them" thing. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
