गुरुं वा बालवृद्धौ वा ब्राह्मणं वा बहुश्रुतम्।
आततायिनमायान्तं हन्यादेवाविचारयन्॥(मनुस्मृति ८।३५०)

यदि गुरु, बालक, ब्राहम्ण, वृद्ध एवं बहुश्रुत भी आततायी के रुप में प्राप्त हों, तो उनका भी बिना सोचे विचारे हनन करना चाहिये.
आततायिनमायान्तमपि वेदान्तपारगम्।
जिघांसन्तं जिघांसीयान्न तेन ब्रह्महाभवेत्॥ (वशिष्ठस्मृति3।१६)

यदि वेदान्त का पारगामी विद्वान भी मारने के योग्य आततायी हो तो उनका भी हनन करे, उनके हनन से वह ब्रह्म हत्यारा नही होता.

Sri Sitaram Goel on the spiritual failure of Hindu Society Against Islam.

"Many students of the spiritual literature of this period have hailed the medieval siddhas and the saints as harbingers of a casteless society.
1/14
They do not see the perspective in which varNa and jãti become irrelevant for the spiritual seekers of this period. The perspective is one of social indifference, not one of social concern.
2/14
The siddhas and the saints are indifferent not only to varNa and jãti, but also to the rãjã and the rãshtra. None of them tells the princes that the supreme test of their prowess and honour is the protection of their prajã.
3/14
Some of them do bemoan the terror, destruction, desecration, and spoliation perpetrated by the Islamic invaders. But the complaint is addressed to God Almighty who allows such horrible things to happen.
4/14
The voice which a Valmiki or a Vyasa would have raised for resistance to and destruction of the dasyu, marauder, and the ãtatãyî, gangster, is missing. Samartha Ramdas is the only exception.
5/14
It is small wonder, therefore, that Hindu saints of this period failed to see Islam with the eyes of a wholesome spirituality practised in earlier ages. They took at face value the professions of Islam that it was a religion like one of their own.
6/ 14
Some of them were impressed by Islamic monotheism, and started denouncing the multiplicity of their own Gods and Goddesses.
7/ 14
None of them could see that the Kalimah - there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his last prophet - could emanate only from a beastly rather than a religions consciousness.
8/14
Not a single Hindu saint made the effort to see or succeeded in seeing through the professions of Islam or the piety of its sufis, and exposing the sin and the sham masquerading as religion and sainthood.
9/14
The NirguNa saints did question the exclusive claims of Islam. But none of them questioned its claim as an alternate path of salvation. And all of them assailed Brahmanism and polytheism.
10/14
The thinkers and philosophers of this period proved worse than the saints in this respect. They argued back and forth on all possible positions in metaphysics, ethics, aesthetics, logic, linguistics, social ceremonies, and religious rituals.
11/14
But none of them made a systematic or serious study of Islam, or traced to its scriptural source its terrorism and cruelty. The saints at least soothed and strengthened their people by their songs and sermons. The thinkers and philosophers cannot claim even that much credit.
12/
They only divided their people by their highly sectarian scholasticism. A majority of the Muslims were Hindu converts who had been forced or lured into the fold of Islam which sat lightly on them for a long time.
13/14
Hindu society closed its doors on them, and condemned them to permanent and progressive alienation. The results would have been radically different if Hindu thinkers and philosophers had rejected Islam, and won back the converts to Islam into their mother society."
