All religions are irrational, divisive and are associated with bigotry, violence and backwardness and are primarily for losers. Therefore its not surprising that many nations that are home to strict adherent of certain faith are also regions of the most violence, intolerance and backwardness. This remains the fact despite many of the nations having abundance income generated by having natural resources.

Organized M0n0theistic religions have preached holy wars against non-believers (Crusades or Jehads) and have promoting expansion through proselytizing & conversion and religious & cultural imperialism. And its history of the political and economic oppression of people of different ethnicity or other religious beliefs is well documented by history. It is no surprise that those who profess their faith most loudly and intimidate others are the biggest threat to society.The tendency of such religious fanatics to turn human judgments into divine commands, makes religion one of the most dangerous forces in the world.
Any Religion interested only in its prestige and success, in its institutions and rituals and conformity, is worse than slavery! Organized religions are obsessed with Time and Armageddon and gleefuly predict eternal afterlife in Heaven or eternal dammnation in He11 await believers & non believers respectively. This allows the followers of these religions to inflict pain & cruelty on those professing beliefs different from their own and that too with full religious conviction.
"With or without religion, you'd have good people doing good things and evil people doing bad things, but for good people to do bad things, it takes religion.” Steven Weinberg
And it is particularly apt to describe the danatical & puritanical Wahabi-Salafi-Deobandi-Tablighi ideologies being propagated today!
Saffronism & Wahabism are similar. Saffronism is extreme right wing Hindu thoughts. Wahabism is extreme right wing Muslim thoughts. Why IB concentrating on Wahabism alone? Don't they have report on Saffronism?

There is absolutely no comparison. Your kind of posts actually is used by Jihadis to recruit. You are a terror collaborator.
Saffron is the color of Hinduism, not "extreme right-wing." RSS schools are not teaching people that Hinduism is the only way and the rest should be exterminated.
