What happened, indeed, is very-very sad. 'This should not have happened.'I too believe that to hate someone because he happens to be of a different creed is wrong, but again the incidents like these make me reconsider my stance. Having had some knowledge of different religions--and the recent chain of events around the world -- increasingly make me believe that, perhaps, Isalm is the most 'violent' of all religions. This is specially true of the Islamic fanatics. Having said that, we have seen how far hindu fundamentalists can go when provoked, in places like Gujrat. But again, it may be argued that muslims were the instigators of the violence. How angry the Nepali populace is at this point of time also puts into perspective the rise of anti-islamism after 9-11. Everybody was blaming Americans of not being tolerant of other ideologies-- including me, I have to admit-- but it's human nature, I guess! My mind tells me to still regard muslims as fellow humans, but I can't help it friends. Yo man ta mero Nepali ho.I will forever be suspicious of muslims from now on, no matter what happens in the coming days.
