In my opinion these acts of extremism or religious fanaticism should not be attributed to one religion or a group of individuals.It is absolutely true that countries like the US & UK created the Osamas and in a way are responsible for the 9/11s and 7/7s.But one simply cannot blame Islam or Muslims for this.Germaine Lawson, who was one of the London bombers was not a Muslim.What do we have to say about the demolition of the Babri masjid by the 'Kar Sevaks'? Wasn't that an act of exremism?One doesn't even know about the seeds being sown in the minds of youth by the RSS.A friend of mine trains students in combat(in crude terms, breaking the head with one blow of the 'latth').So essentially these horrendous acts were carried out by individuals who in turn were misguided or brainwashed by religious fanatics.Mind you, these people are still out there and continue to do so in places like Madrasas.Now something like this could happen in India too and we certainly cannot remain complacent.Lets just pray for those who suffered and hope that an incident like this does not happen in our country. Needless to say ,the results of which could be catastrophic,considering the religious backlash.
