Gopirkishna:
I most certainly agree with you and thank you for brigning it up.

That is the point I tried to send across for those people who affiliate terrorism with only muslims. It’s not a problem with one religion or society. Terrorism has no faith, religion or boundaries. We must face the realities and the truth that there are very bad people out there in all the societies of this world but they are a very small minority and can not be considered represetatives of the majority which are good and caring. If we keep blaming one specific group and try to hide or ignore the others the problem will nvever go away.

For those who think that terrorism is only related to Muslims, just check the following incidents carried out by Hindu Fanatics:

May 17, 2007: Explosion in a Mosque during Friday prayers killing 32 in the city of Hyderabad.

Feb 19, 2007: Two bombs explode in a train heading to Pakistan. 68 passengers killed mostly Pakistanis. Recently a Hindu Indian Army Col. has been arrested who was the mastermind of these blasts.

Sept 8, 2006: Explosions near a mosque in Malegaon town.

In addition the Hindu Murderes like Narinder Moody, Thakrays, the recent killings of christians in Orisa by Hindu Fanatics.

The list just goes on and on. The bottom line is that as long as we don’t face the reality the problems won’t go away.

Our response to terror in our neighbourhood should be on many fronts. One of them must be – Reject politics of polarization. Communalization brews mistrust and continues to seed the growth of new pockets of terror in many localities the world over. Terror needs to be fought at its birthplace – which can be anywhere. We need a single all-community condemnation of terror. That happens and continues to happen of course. The problem with such condemnation is that it is not honest enough. This allows terror elements to continue pushing their agenda. Look at the terror timelines on DNA Saturday’s page 14 (Nov 29). A long list of terror events – notice something? The Babri Masjid demolition is not on it, and neither is the Godhra carnage nor the riots that followed it. The omission is not minor – it points to a larger problem of bias. Bias that is centred around communalization. Bias that must be overcome before communities can begin to trust and respect each other. Our politicians would rather do the opposite. So it is up to us and only us, to reject such polarization of communities. Let’s start now by educating our children, reaching out to our neighbours and rejecting the politicians who thrive on divisive talk.

to access”Terrorism: An Indian Perspective” of July 2005

India and the International Community of the Free World needed to have joined to strengthen the Anti-Terrorism strategies against the Jihadi and Islamic terrorism in India, which incidentally has not been properly covered by the Western media until now. There is a tendency to revictimise the victims of such terrorism when the victims react forcefully. That is not where the action needs to be. Action is long overdue to prevent continued and persistent victimization of innocent people in India, and now the specifically targeted Westerners, and to thwart future terrorist attacks.
