One of the priamry reasons of India and now the world's failure to deal with Islamic terror is the inability and unwillingness to see the real issues. The problem is that nobody wants to look at the reality of what Islam preaches and how and what guides the behavior of its followers of Islam.(who otherwise have the same genetic stock as non Muslims in their immediate vicinity).
IT IS THE HATEFUL MESSAGE OF THE QURAN
Most Muslims in the Indian subcontinent are children of forcible converts (some trhough rape and murder and most through heavy taxes like Jazia).
It is so sad that we Hindus have failed to invite back our brothers in Islam back into the Hindu fold. Terrorism, riots and some dya Pakistan itself will vanish if Hindus would welcome back the Muslims back into Hinduism.
I will quote the Nobel Prize winning writer VS Naipaul about the beleivers of Islam to define their situation best.
"Islam is not simply a matter of conscience or private belief. It makes imperial demands. A convert's worldview alters. His holy places are Arab lands. His sacred language is Arabic. His idea of history alters. He rejects his own; he becomes, whether he likes it or not, a part of the Arab story. The convert has to turn away from everything that is his." While it is true that there is an extra-territorial dimension to being a Muslim, only a man as arrogant and self-deluded as Naipaul would fail to see that Muslims in India and Pakistan have retained much of their history and culture which they do not see as clashing with their Islamic faith. And if non-Arab Muslims are "converts".
