A man arrested in India for being part of a mob that attacked a group of four Muslim teenagers on a train has said on TV that he was goaded into it by others because Muslims ate beef.
The man, identified only as Ramesh, said he was drunk at the time of the attack in Haryana state on Friday.
One of the boys, 16-year-old Junaid Khan, was killed in the assault carried out by a mob of about 20 men.

Much can be said about this I suppose.

The buffets at Hindu/Muslim weddings must be quite boring. Do I want fish or fish?

There is intolerance pretty much every where.

A common human failing is to consider what you believe to be important to other people who may not share your opinion.

Rule of thumb: consider the land/place/country you are in, and its predominant population. Just reasonable.

So non-Christian people in predominantly Christian countries can't express their beliefs, because if they do they'll offend everyone else, and rightfully get killed for doing so?

That should be etched in stone somewhere. Still, I bet someone would argue it.
