It is indeed easy to realize the bad as it does not need any effort but to realize GOD, one has to go to extremes.

Ramanujan was someone who hardly had any education beyond high school and who went to work as a clerk and not join any elite University as faculty or do mathematical research. Yet he was able to get rare insights into complex mathematical problems. He did believe in his deity and probably was able to latch on to Supreme Knowledge. If alive, may be he would say, if someone doesn't believe in jet flights, but would prefer to walk all the way to America, it is his problem.

To talk about Adolf Hitler in the same breath would not be correct. Whatever Hitler did was for political power. Had all the Jews fought alongside him to make him another Alexander, he might have spared them.

Fanaticism should not be based on religion and even otherwise.

'Some goals are so worthy, it's glorious even to fail.' (Param Vir Chakra awardee Lt. Manoj Pandey)

For Bannister or any ordinary farmer trying to raise a crop, there are two aspects. One is the hard work he has to do to prepare the field and the second is to wait for the right climate. The first part is totally in their hands and the latter, we can call God, Mother Nature, or any other name. Or we can misappropriate to say it is 100% our own efforts.

Hitler was basically military man and nothing to show he had any religious faith. To blame it on his religion may not be correct.

Again, to compare the genocide carried out by him with a comparatively very small riotous mob's unlawful act would be losing our sense of proportion. Or probably intentional wrong propaganda by the West to state a lie again and again, that anything other than their way of life is barbaric, the backlash they themselves experience. And again the destruction of the prayer hall defunct for many decades and even across centuries was the result of vote bank politics, failure on the part of those who call themselves leaders, of judiciary to hand out a just verdict, of a majority of people who thought justice was not being done, of a minority which believes in death and destruction as a religious way of life. And most importantly, the prayer hall was supposedly named after NOT the invader Babur, who himself would not call himself Indian, but of a seven year old boy Babri, for reasons best known to the General who destroyed the Ram temple that originally remained at that place.

History is not at all important countries of/near the Middle East as their religion supposedly does not distinguish a Palmyra or a Bamiyan Buddha from any other ordinary structure. They would destroy centuries old religious places to build highways. But for some, History does become important if it can destroy the religious sentiment of a majority of people. As shall we sow, so shall we reap.

Sorry for the digression.
