Why do you compare always? Did it ever occur to you that such
comparisons only bring us down ! Just let the muslims get what they
want. If NIKE comes up with a shoe written Vishnu on it , How many
would protest, and how many reconcile to the fact that it's just a
brand name. We never protest when we have school bags, water bottles,
spices, construction companies named Vishnu

Ahimsa,well good, nice concept! links to Muslims- Dont do it!
