Great article Sitara ji. I agree with u that it is not fair to put the ordianry muslims and the terrorists muslims along the same line. But I believe that we need to look for the reason why most of the terrorist acts are carried out by the muslims. Of course, situation in Israel and Palestine is one of the reasons... but then why we dont see terrorist acts by the Christians in the same scale ? the reason is the way muslims are brought up and the wway people form other religions are brought up are very different. Other religions never teach to kill the infidels... but in Kuran, muslims are taught to kill, rather behead, the infidels... and some time back , i was watching one documentary in bbc... there was one 7 year old boy.. he was asked what he wants to become ... and u know what he said? he wants to kill the Christians in a suicide bomb attack like his hero, his unlce, did. he said allah would be happy with him if he could do that... now what does that mean? is it normal/natural for a 7 year old to talk like that? where is the fault? dont say that fanatics teach like that... where do fanatics learn such things? they read kuran which tells them to kill all those who do not believe in Islam. I am not sayign that ordinary muslims are bad people , but just saying that will not stop terrorism by these fanatics.. I beileve that a major change has to happen in Islamic thoughts and in Kuran . Once again, good article ... Sitara ji....
