 Islam and the West: Hostage to History?
In no other world religion (to use a Weberian category), the unity of temporal and spiritual realms is as central a tenet as it is in Islam.
The five world religions, which as Weber defined them include Confucianism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam, plus the two modern secular ideologies of progress (liberalism and Marxism) may be considered not only as modes of explication of the world and codes of conduct but also as competing strategies for world integration.
The history of relations between Judaism, Christianity, and Islam (unlike those between Hinduism or Buddhism and Christianity) are thus replete with prejudices bordering on a will to misunderstand.

 Only a Game: Religion
In that peculiarly human way, the word religion is applied as a family resemblance category, and therefore anything not related to these archtypal religions is not a religion.
But of course, there are polytheistic religions (lower path Hinduism, neo-Paganism), non-theistic religions (Buddhism, upper-path Hinduism), agnostic religions (Discordianism, formal agnosticism, Zen Buddhism) and atheistic religions (Buddhism in some interpretations, Humanism).
Mystic branches of the major religions favour this approach - such as Sufi Islam (a religion which recognises multiplicity - even in religions), Zen Buddhism(which strives to push beyond the illusions of language) and the Higher Path in Hinduism (a religion which celebrates and accepts diversity of beliefs).

 Swaveda - Articles - Hinduism, Environmentalism and the Nazi ...
In India, the earlier generations of Marxists were indeed atheists, though they followed the Stalinist strategy of a "common front" in forming an alliance with Christians and Muslims against the principal enemy, Hinduism.
It is very common in secularist polemic to start from a general assumption about what they label the “Hindutva” movement, and then apply this assumption to each author whom they choose to include in that category, without bothering to check his own writings.
Recently, the international political weakening of Marxism has been accompanied by an intellectual softening, so that junior Marxists are forgetting how Islam and Christianity are "opiums of the people" as much as Hinduism, and have even started lapping up some now-fashionable claims propagated by Muslim or Christian apologists.

By one definition, Hindus are the "None of the above" category in India, comprising between 60% and 80% of the population.

 A Tribute to Hinduism - Glimpses X
Once labels and classifications get institutionalized (which the West has the power and experience to do), the category-grid becomes a tool over others.
Indian Classics are often ignored or used to denigrate Indian culture as being primitive, exotic, irrational and lacking in ethics and morality.

 Islamofascism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In contrast to the heirs of some other non-Western traditions, including Hinduism, Shintoism and Buddhism, Islamic societies seem to have found it particularly hard to institutionalise divergences politically: authoritarian government, not to say Islamo-fascism, is the rule rather than the exception from Morocco to Pakistan.
Islamism is a very broad political category used to describe mainstream political movements such as Turkey's Justice and Development Party
Most Muslims find the term highly offensive, and claim that the comparison is inaccurate and merely a political epithet, because usually the term is not used for real fascist governments, but rather for Muslim militants.
