Some things happening to Muslims in the world today (in addition to India) off the top of my head: -Genocide of Rohingya in Myanmar -Ethnic cleansing of Uyghurs in China Then there's just garden variety xenophobic polices like travel bans from predominately Muslim countries in the US to the electoral gains of various far right parties in Europe because of the refugee crisis. Pretty wide spread there, but clearly fascism is on the rise.

I didn't want to imply fascism wasn't on the rise, just some differences I saw. That said, as I covered in a cousin comment, I believe I was misinterpreting what you were trying to express to some degree.

Communists gonna communist and slaughter just like in the past? How many people died to that ideology in the past century compared to Fascism? Multiples, yet it isn't viewed by the West with similar distain (see Che shirts). Historically the biggest threat to Muslims are other Muslims, they're not a giant uniform block, the sects have been warring with one another for close to 1500 years and aren't slowing down.

Rohingga are split Muslims and Hinduism. So it’s not about a specific religion, but rather an ethnic group. Similarly Jewish is an ethnic group with many Christians and atheists being killed in the holocaust.

> xenophobic polices like travel bans from predominately Muslim countries Countries included in the travel ban: * Iran * Libya * North Korea * Somalia * Syria * Venezuela * Yemen What do these countries have in common? Hint: it's not Muslims.

This is sloppy generalization. The US travel ban has never applied to India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, or Indonesia which host the largest Muslim populations.
