What next? Hindus should have a vision to glorify vedic culture. This can only be achieved when they understand the depth and beauty of Vedas. Once systematically studied vedic literature under the guidance of bonafide spiritual master, they should live strictly as per scriptures. Then for preserving religious principles, for the benefit of humanity they can even kill. Aren%u2019t weeds uprooted to protect the fields of grains, isn%u2019t a snake killed when spotted to protect innocent becoming poisonous? Even the great Arjuna killed his own relatives and teachers for protecting religious principles but he was not implicated because he fought under the guidance of Supreme Personality of Godhead Sri Krsna. This combination of Arjuna and Krsna is the only missing factor in this world.

Vedas teach universal brotherhood and one world home. They do not teach arson and looting which Islam does. No need to preach violence by any body except in self defence. NKS

First of all, Vedas give us a way of life. It is NOT a religion as understood by the Semitic religions like Jews, Christians and Mohameddans. And who will ensure to live "strictly" by the scriptures? The pundits? Do we want to give the freedom that the Gita teaches to find your own path to God to some dalal as the Islamists seem to have done? Pulling out weeds, my dear fellow is not the same as pulling out a child from its mother's womb in a riot. A snake is killed more in fear and lack of knowledge than to prevent what you stated is the reason to kill one. Arjuna refused to kill at first. TGhat is why the Gita was enunciated. And the CENTRAL theme was "who are you (Arjuna) to kill anyone. I (Krishna) decide who is to die and how. You (Arjuna) are only a means for fulfilling my (krishna) decision." Arjuna then discarded his ATTACHMENT to the fruits of his actions and went ahead and did what was his duty to do as a warrior.
At least get some fundas of the vedas before venturing forth and spewing what others have been telling you. However, I do agree with you that the would would be a much better place to put the Vedas and Vedanta in the center of ALL education. As long as we Hindus cling to them as "ours", it cannot become mankinds'. Let go of these universal scriptures and we will have a peaceful and fulfilling lives in place of these disastrous religion based massacres and genocides.
