Called AHIMSA (non-violence) this goes beyond peace and anti-war and extends to what we might call Animal rights (Holy Cow!) and vegetarianism is a logical fission product of this doctrine. Vegetarianism as a form of respect for animal life, is NOT CHRISTIAN//

Hindus do a number of things with the Qur'an including reading it, ignoring it, or opposing the violence that plagues Indian societies because of the divisions between monotheists and polytheists in the Qur'an.
