One O P Chaturvedi <@opchaturvedi44 @mazhar_jafri @babayesudas> had tweeted this to me.
अपने हममजहब हत्यारे नही दीखते क्या जनाव?गरीब मुस्सलिम के असली दुशमन आप जैसे कट्टर ही है
In effect, he asks Why We don’t see the Killers in our own religious groups.
And a Valid question it is too. Below, my Responses:

My Dear OP, I am a Christian. But You should know that I Criticize my own Christian leadership QUITE A LOT too.
Please visit https://lovehappinessandpeace.wordpress.com/ and see my posts for this. Even now I am writing a post against the pope.
Bec others are guilty does NOT mean I am Not guilty. #modi shd accept his hand in the #godhra carnage.

Christian leadership, starting with the Vatican, should publicly, and repeatedly Apologize for The Inquisition, the pope’s Silence (Whimperings not accepted!) during the nazi atrocities, the Paedophile mess, Violence in Ireland and in other places, etc.
Similarly the Non-catholic Christian leadership. Again, their Greed for Ireland, faraway Falklands! To show that I am not writing these things for the first time, pl read: https://lovehappinessandpeace.wordpress.com/2014/08/08/extreme-love-for-money-on-part-of-catholic-church/ …
Now for the ISIS, Boko Haram, etc. I consider these the Most Barbaric. ISIS, etc, killing not only others, but also children of their own religion, as the 130+ at Peshawar.
You as a Hindu, how do You feel threatened by Christians? If You have problems, You have the police. But We Christians, running Hospitals and Schools for EVERYONE, face Fear and problems in India.
KANDHAMAL Christians, 10s of thousands, cannot return to their lands. One image is given below, taken from the Internet.
We face re-conversions, #bjp says it has no hand in re-conversions. But #bjp did not come to power without support of rss, etc.
We Christians, even after 2,000 years in India, are just 2.6%. Hindus are 80%+. What is the problem? So, Each of Us has to Clean his own house. Even if the Neighbour’s house is dirty, the smell will come to US!
So Help Clean Your house too, as I do in mine. Good day and Regards.

The problems everywhere seem to be escalating; how terrorists can perform these acts in the name of any religion is beyond me. Why can’t we all live peacefully together?

My Dear Chris,
The Humankind looks to its religious leaders to know what is right and what wrong. And these religious leaders make use of this to fulfil their ego, turn people even mad.
There are political leaders too, who, for the same megalomaniac reasons, turn people mad! Like hitler, pol pot, etc!
The second one seems to be in control now, as other nations can challenge and interfere. The ‘religious’ leaders are having a free hand!
God Save Us! 🙂
