    Your right nobody deserves hate for their faith. Except fascists and authoritarians who hide behind their so called beliefs to inflict their invalid wills unto others, then is really genocide? Also the Mormons, Seventh Day Adventists, and Scientologist cause fuckem.

      I don’t give a shit about the faith, they can believe what they want as long as it doesn’t hurt other people. It’s the practice of the faith that is often the problem. And being religious does not justify discrimination of women, LGBT or people of another faith.

      In that regard Sikhism is just about the least harmful religion AFAIK. Way better than Christianity, Islam or Judaism.
