The riots in the streets do not come as much of a shock to me -- afterall, that is what I would expect from uneducated, deeply-frustrated, looking-for-excuses [to vent their frustrations, not necessarily from the pertinent issue at hand], and knowing-nothing-better youths. Rather, what is tragically surprising for me is the fact that after having experienced the infamous Hritik Roshan kanda of 2000, the government seems to have still failed to even anticipate such riots, let alone take necessary precautionary measures against such unwanted events. It is very easy, perhaps even natural, to be swayed by negative emotions after extremely horrifying events such as gruesome murders of 12 Nepalis in Iraq yesterday. However, as those who know better, some of us should/must rise above such emotionalities and realize [and do our utmost to spread the word] that those dastardly criminals who call themselves Islamic Militants are nothing more than INDIVIDUAL monsters -- they are far from being true Muslims, neither do they in any way represent the larger Arab nationals. It is not only abjectly foolish to generalize and attempt to punish the entire Muslim population for the crimes of Ansar al-Sunnah, but to call for revenge against the innocents is in itself a crime of unfathomable magnitud that equals, if not surpass, the crimes committed by the extremists.
