Very true
by Anubhav Gupta on Aug 30, 2005 04:46 PM

I couldnt have agreed more with the author.
While it is really unfortunate that a good section (or atleast the more vociferous one) of Islamic followers ahev got misguided abt the true teachings of Islam (or for that matter any religion), the other "more responsible and civilized" world seems to be increasingly turning a blind eye toward the attrocities meeted out to a certain section of people (who non-coincidentally happen to be from Islam following belt of the world). In one way, the civilized world is itslef acting like a terrorist as seen from the eyes of those whom it calls terrorists per its own definition. Complete destruction of Iraq, Afganistan, Chechnya, Palestine - there is surely smth more than mere coincidence and the thread of Islam runs through all these & recent terrorist activities. Its time we begin to adress the root cause of terror - as the author rightly pointed out - anger combined with despair. Lets take care of their anger, the despair will get addressed automatically.
and I am no Muslim. but i believe that we dont worship a religion - we just worship different messengers of the universal message - love.
