The west's offensive war strategies were not for Jihads........so they are not terrorists.
Where as the Islamic offsive were for conversion, Jihads.....and presently avenging Jews....by attacking and killing innocent Hindus and non western innnocents ....these are terrorists.
Terrorism does not come as title claims! It is invited with folded hands! When one loses a wholistic vision of a problem and loses sight of his conscience, terrorism steps in. Perhaps, it is invited with smile when one sells his conscience deliberately! How terrorism entered Londonistan? What was the necessity for U.K. Prime minister Tony Blair to poke his nose into battle between Iraq and U.S.? Absolutely it was uncalled for! There was a real problem between Iraq and U.S., as any one, un biased, unprejudiced, conscious driven minded and God fearing will agree to terrible arrogance of Bush, U.S. President to poke his nose in all domestic affairs of other countries without being invited! Bush had been exposed when nothing harmful as claimed was detected any where in entire Iraq for which he destroyed Iraq! How and why did Tony Blair send his army into Iraq and massacred thousands? Is it not a crime? He deserves stringent punishment. None can escape from justice of God! Law of Nature takes over, though slightly delayed to restore justice! "Every action produces equal and opposite reaction" said Newton! Terrorism in London is God's act!
We donot have an acceptable definition of terrorism yet, so analysis tend to diverge. Terrorism which assumes the form of a nuclear threat becomes an unacceptable risk and can not operate within the confines of normal logical constructs.
The Sino-Pak linkages on nukes if true, may have already evolved to Sino-Islamic terror linkages, if one goes by the interpretations of the former decision-makers there.
One way to counter terror would be to extend the coping measures to all elements of any such linkages. Once this policy clarity is visible to all players of the linkages, the rational ones are likely to be dissuaded.
An excellent article as usual. Rajiv is usually straight forward and always supports the statement with factual evidence. How beautifully the British could divide the Hindus using caste card!! As Brahmins were leading the Independence movement, they could orchestrate antibrhaminism to pave the path for self annihilation. As Muslims did not care much for independence, using their love for religion to divide India are but a few other points that Rajiv did not bring about. All said and done, the British are more civilized any one on the planet and therefore we could fight them with their own language and culture. West has come a long way for a minor acts of terror on their soil. They have to come a little more to agree what is happening and happened in Kashmir and Bangladesh and Pak against non Muslims are and were acts of terror. Vijaya Kumar
If my guess is right, that you are a Briton(or Western), I'm happy to see u here & for taking the article in right sense.I am also thankful to u for bringing the good Christians to notice. Regarding your concern stating that Britons deserve attack, well, I say a partly 'YES' & mostly 'NO'.Mostly 'NO' bcauz we Indians knew what is terrorism.And, that we as civilized nation know that such incidents, though beneficial to us, only worsen the situiations latter.Partly 'YES' bcauz, hadn't there been 9-11, Americans wouldn't hav realized terrorism.Hadn't there been 7/7 Britons wouldn't have realized terroism & the implications of your Govt.'s ambiguity in this issue.Do u disagree with it? It's a necessary for guyz in West to realize that this country is still 'Gandhian'.We still r not bombing nations though we are being victimzed & facing injustice as normalcy anywhere, even in UK.As stated by Rajeev, it's only bcauz of some stupid Indians(Marxist CPI, ISI funded greedy/fanatic Muslims(some) & some fanatic Hindus(though in self-defence), e.g) that India has acquired a negative image.& for decades most West media found pleasure in publising this negative image more than the good facts.
