The terminology "Hindoo terrorist" does not exist. Terrorism is fortunately or unfortunately associated with just one religion.

You mean we should wait until some one uses the term Hindu terrorist before Hindu terrorist can be called Hindu terrorist!

Why
didn't you say so, here you go bubba!

Saffron terror is term used to describe acts of violence motivated by Hindu Terrorist.

The first known use of the
term "Saffron Terror" is from a 2002 article in Frontline However, it was in the aftermath of the 29 September 2008 bomb blast in the predominantly Muslim town of Malegoan in Maharashtra that it came to be used widely

India must face up to Hindu terrorism

India's anti-minorities bias is so strong that it has failed to acknowledge the threat posed by Hindu radicalism

For far too long, the enduring response of the Indian establishment to Hindu nationalists has rarely surpassed mild scorn. Their organised violent eruptions across the country – slaughtering Muslims and Christians, destroying their places of worship, cutting open pregnant wombs – never seemed sufficient enough to the state to cast them as a meaningful threat to India's national security.

But the recently leaked confession of a repentant Hindu priest, Swami Aseemanand, confirms what India's security establishment should have uncovered: a series of blasts between 2006 and 2008 were carried out by Hindu outfits. The attacks targeted a predominantly Muslim town and places of Muslim worship elsewhere. Their victims were primarily Muslim. Yet the reflexive reaction of the police was to round up young Muslim men, torture them, extract confessions and declare the cases solved.

Pundits now conduct cautious enquiries on television. Does this revelation mean India is now under attack by "Hindu terrorism"? But to treat this as a new phenomenon is to overlook the bulky corpus of terrorist violence in India that has its roots in explicitly Hindu-political grievances. Why is the attack on a Jewish centre in Mumbai by Pakistani gunmen an example of "Islamic terrorism", but the slaughter of a thousand Muslims by sword-wielding Hindus in Gujarat in 2002 not proof of "Hindu terrorism",
