Sparsha, you're right - attacking an entire religion based on the horrible acts of a few will not get anyone anywhere. It never has and it only continues to build hatred in ourselves. Every religion has extremism - this is merely just one case of how extremism is a horrible ideology. If the Nepalis in this forum decide that all Muslims should be condemned, aren't we also extremists? This issue goes beyond the bechara Nepali men that were killed to set an example. If we are going to peg an entire group based on the atrocities of a few then we must also surmise that all Nepalis are terrorists because there is a horrible Maoist situation that continues to kill, pillage and extort thousands of individuals. We must look deeper than what happened today. Two months ago it was the South Koreans - and, they protested en masse against the Bush Admin, last month it was an Italian - and, they discontinued their support for the Bush Admin and, then there was the Filipino - their President did not remain silent and actually saved his life by removing troops. The Spanish people proved it could be done by replacing a government after their attack in March. The Nepali govt. must speak up, but will they? We as a people living here must speak up by voting out the Bush Admin that does not support anyone's interest in the world except theirs. Their friends are companies "rebuilding" a country THEY destroyed. The people of Iraq are pissed off because they've been invaded. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer - this is happening everywhere...we must do something...start by changing the politics here and in Nepal. Lets stop being so reactive and think a little more proactively...we would get much further...
