Islam and violence
by DIN on Aug 31, 2005 08:45 PM

A good article. But again the writer talks of ISSUES and ROOT CAUSE.
There is another confused rhetoric.Is chechenia,Palestine and Iraq are subjected to killings becoz their inhabitants are muslims.Russia would have done the same if the people of Chechnia were Buddhists.Israel would have reacted the same way if Palestinians had been Hindus.USA didnt go to war in Iraq becoz Iraqis were muslims.It is all geopolitical compulsions.Of course that doesnt excuse the inhumanity of war in these places.
Muslims start JIHAD becoz the people of these areas happen to be muslims.It is for the world community to condemn and prevent such happenings.But will USA,Russia,Israel listen to it?
