Misuse of religion - note to the author
by jayanti nnc on Apr 11, 2006 04:03 PM

It is hard to say what shocks me more - the irresponsible attitude of your article - all it takes is a few ignorant and intolerant remarks to make you think of yourself as a Muslim and not as the educated, responsible mediaperson/citizen you are - or the unbelievable replies you got which terrify me about the future of this country. That there are people in this country - which was built on unity, secularism and non-violence - who can even think like this, let alone take the trouble to write it is a shame. That they are obviously intelligent and educated enough to write good English and handle a computer is what shocks me the most. A real slap in the face for education, which teachesus technology but neither the lessons of history nor the spirit of our nation.

And most of the blame for this horror goes to educated people like you. How can you whine about intolerance when you won't do anything about it, and it frightens you so easily, and you have no solution to suggest? Why don't learned people of all religions spread awareness to prevent the shocking misconceptions in the replies you got? you can reach millions of minds and enlighten them, and you waste it with a negative messag
