Diversity is an inherent characteristic and must be respected.

The history of religion is replete with serious discords that have led to bloody wars claiming several million lives ever since man has set foot on this earth. Nothing serious a division known to mankind exists among peoples than Religion that has created an iron wall between the people of same creed and colour.
History is a stark witness that the hatred, malice and prejudice prevalent among the people has been fuelled by religion rather than any other factor. The loss that the humanity suffered has suffered on account of religious strife has been colossal.
Whatever explainations the writers of history would put forth in determining the cause of one religion trying to influence upon other people, the number of people killed in the name of religion is far higher than due to any other reason.
Why is so much blood-bath associated with religion? Why's there a lot of parania exhibited by the followers of a religion to the extent that they tend to vent out their frustrations by ruthelessly killing people on streets, marketplaces, places of worship and literally everywhere. Why would a British soldier be hacked to death by a few fanatics in the most barbaric manner in broad day light on the streets of one of the most beautiful cities of the world, London? Pertinently London has been the most inclusive city that has defied its true cosmopolitan character even after the infamous bombings of July 2007. If such a tragedy would have taken place in India or Pakistan, the fallout of such a hacking would have had far reaching consequences where a killing of a jail inmate in one country was almost instantly repaid in the same coin in the other. Imagine an Englishman beheading a Muslim in Pakistan, they would've ensured that all the foreign tourists have been beheaded. If the Europeans and Americans hadn't been as inclusive as they are to absorb the people of other religions and races into their own cultures, they would have not been as cosmopolitan in their character. Therefore, the ones who have migrated to the various parts of Europe and America should assimiliate into their cultures without any bias and should be gratitious to have been given the previlige of living alongside their own people. There are many countries which inspite of following the same religion don't give such rights to foreigners even if they spend their entire lifetime living or working there.
If it is catagorically stated that there's no compulsion in the name of religion why does the discord exist among the peoples. If someone is happy in not accepting any religion why is he not let alone with his own ideology: it is his personal conception after all which he might change with time. Who are we to set him right when we have lost the distinction between what is right and what is wrong altogether? Take any religion for instance, it's divided into groups and sub-groups and sub-sub-groups thereby consolidating confusions and instilling dissatisfaction among its sane followers. It is like corporatization of religion where the groups and sub-groups have placed their companies (read their interpretation of religion which they call school of thought) on stock exchanges with their outlets (read their places of preaching) spread like cash counters. Day in and day out, they cry their lungs out emphasizing their 'superiority' on one another in the most abhorrent manner. To reach a wider audience, they have now made use of satellite channels broadcasting their ideologies 24x7. Luring them with flashy sets and other photographic tricks, they issue appeals asking their subscribers to deposit money in their bank accounts which they claim would be used to further their programmes.
Never have I seen the preachers issuing condemnations with regard to terrorist activities which the people of their own religion unleash upon other peoples. Instead, they keep on giving justifications and explainations that so and so country is doing the same on a much larger scale and hence the reprisal. A killing cannot be justified by another. The so-called superpowers have subjugated other nations and unleashed brutalities of all manner upon their subjects and history hasn't forgiven them. If we go by the phrase: Might is right and if the possession of the most mordern artillary and war equipment and economic status should define the superiority of one nation over the other then the sheer number of one kind of people called the Majority also establishes the superiority of another kind. If one kind of people wail over what happened in Gujarat and demand the perpetrators of crimes be brought to justice, the same People should wail over the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits who have, to a large extent, been the victims at the hands of the Majority. If demolition of Babri Masjid irks Muslims, the descretion of Hindu places of worship in Kashmir post the migration of Kashmiri Pandits which lie in ruins, should also be measured with the same yardstick. Nobody calls Hitler a hero but only the half-naked Indian figure, Mahatma Gandhi, is revered by all across all continents. Narender Modi's 'aura' is being torn to shreds by Hindus who don't regard him as hero. Similarly, Bitta Karate and his ilk must be condemned forcefully to spread the message across that the killing of an individual tentamounts to the killing of all the humanity. Let the history teach us that Jews have been the biggest victims ever and were exterminated in huge numbers in Hitler's concentration camps. Let's condemn the Russians and the Americans for how they treated a beautiful race, the Afghans and turned them into warriors of the kind that we know them today. Let's condemn Israel for its actions against the Palestinians. Let's have a heart big enough yo condemn what is happening in Iraq, Syria, Libya and let all the perpetrators be tried according to the law. Let's condemn what happened in Bosnia. Let's admit that a beautiful race, the Kashmiri Pandits, too, have suffered in their own little and big way and have been forced to live outside their motherland in the most abject, miserable and inhuman conditions. People often argue that their exodus was a blessing in disguise for them as they achieved some financial progress. Cut open the heart of any Kashmiri Pandit who may be living in England or the USA and you'll see the picture of Tullamulla or Habba Kadal there. Dislodging of Kashmiri Pandits from their motherland has cost them dearly -- they are fast losing their culture, ethos, language which no financial advancement can bring them back. Kashmiri skin is easily tanned by a slight rise in temperature, let us remember them while the cool clouds shield us from the scorching heat of the June that might be burning them in the camps at Muthi, Nagrota, Talab Tillo and other parts of India where it is raining fire from above.
Finally, lets condemn what happened to two young girls of Shopian a few years ago. Let's also cry over the Batmaloo teenager down whose throat the CRPF hounds showed a stick two years ago and killed him. Lets not forget that we are a subjugated nation and we have to meet our adversary with sanity, knowledge of our rights and wisdom.
Religion has been abused, misused and formed into a lethal tool that serves the wicked only. Let the religion take a secondary importance in our lives and let's attach the first and the foremost importance to humanity. Let's learn to accept and respect the differences that inherently exist amongst us. Let's be  like a bouquet that is formed not by grouping together only kind of flowers but by many. Let's respect the diversity that the Creator of this universe is Himself fond of.
