There's no cause that can justify terrorism. Well well, when our homegrown terrorists were fighting the British, wasn't it ok? Not all subscribed to Gandhian non-violence.
I was born post-independence, and have heard my parents and relatives eulogise Binoy-Badal-Dinesh, Bhagat Singh, et al.
So, what does the National Security Advisor has to say?

There is no "terrorism" against Muslims...its against the evil that is destroying humanity.
It was the US intelligence services who set up war camps in afghanistan and pakistan by backing the ISI,evidence of which is available with our own intelligence agencies like the R&AW.The jehadi "cause" was given to them by the US who used them in fighting the soviets.Even laden was supposedly trained in one of these camps. Yet,ignoring all this and going on to Iraq,a country which actually had cordial relations with the Raegan government till the early to middle 80's,and then trying to justify a war called illegal by someone of the stature of Kofi Annan is supposed to be fair and justified? All these points are known to almost all the educated Indians,yet the govt. still likes to go ahead and agree with anything the US says,like the Iran issue, a country whose historic relations with India go back years politically and thousands of years non politically because the US "suspects" that Iran is building a "bomb",when Iran has continuosly stressed that it is going to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes? Might I add the fact that the US has the biggest nuclear arsenal and the only country in the world to have used something close to a nuclear weapon.
You are trying too hard to say that Gujarat only is cause of terrorism in India. Kashmiri Pandits are also too angry. Have they gone for terrorism in India or all over world ?
..of the brahmins in the country, I can bet this guy also supports the bjp/rss. Whereas a majority of muslims in the country consider the sangh parivar to be equivalent to neo-nazi groups or kkk, a fact that they would establish easily through just about any anti-muslim riot in the past 50 years.
So when a terrorism expert lectures on the subject of terrorism, he should bear the above in mind as the subject can't be explored in a vaccum.
