Czar, Great ! This is what I was looking for in Sajha. Time to speak up. This is a critical hour like the one we wasted before we heard the worst news. The words we speak at this hour might save lives and resources back home and wherever Nepalis are that are otherwise potentially in danger, let alone we will be showing sanity of Nepali minds. *********************** DWI, Your backhanded support for the vandalism back home which every witness seems to be suggesting that it was penetrated by suspicious elements (look at the list of the businesses targeted and some slogans chanted) is morbid if not murky. Even if you are talking about genuinely Iraq related vandalism which you have said repeatedly that you understand them perfectly, my question will be- if you have that much understanding, could you also understand Czar and others worry and frustration over the violence against innocent people and itýs backhanded support by some well-educated people in this forum ? The tone in your posting in reply to Czarýs posting does not convince me that you do. Seems like you are not angry with the butchers of Ansar-Al-Sunna but with everybody else. ******************** Good to see San also taking the matter in his hand. His posting in the thread ýTIME TO STOPý rightfully belongs here. So I am taking liberty to copy and paste his disperately awaited words: From San: Sajha is a home away from home for most of us Nepalis living outside of Nepal. We are angered and frustrated with the killings of our countrymen in Iraq and the general situation that prevails in the country. In Nepal, some people come out in the streets to vent out their anger. They destroy public properties and act in the spur of the moment. In the long run, these actions leave a bad aftertaste, because after all we are destroying our own city - our own property. For some of us who are living away from home, sajha is the closest we can come to being part of the whole national mourning, the sadness and the anger. Instead of being able to march in a Julush in Ratnapark and express our anger, we choose to spew postings showing our anger and hatred towards the killers. In doing so, sometimes we go overboard and chant slogans of religious hatred. This is not what sajha stands for, yet we accept such things in moderation depending on the circumstance. In this present context, yes, some of the postings have been VERY hateful and not worthy of educated people's reasonable feelings. But, in keeping up with a tradition of openness, tolerance and understanding, I feel it is relatively better to post a few venoms than be out in the street destroying public property. Us people who live away from Nepal needs a way to vent as well, and verbal venting is more acceptable than physical destruction of properties and lives. I do believe that all of this is going to stop soon as the spur of the moment anger wanes off. We don't want sajha to turn into a hate site and we will all have to accept that because at a time like this we need to come together and that's what sajha is for. Sajha does not encourage religious discrimination or inciting of hatred. Sajha is here to bring us together more closer at a time like this. Ideally, we would like to see a perfect world within sajha. But we can't stop it from being real; at the same time we can't step outside the boundary of common etiquette, decency and tolerance of ideas and people who are different from our own. Let us be guided by HUMANITY.
