Many good meaning Hindus and Sikhs come here and seem to profess the humanist qualities in their attempt to search for reason for the unreasonable (case in point, the Jihadi).
Most acts of terrorism that continue beyond a generation or two (unlike Haiti, Ncaragua or other class struggle based violence) are guided by very strong ethnic or religious motivation.
The problem is when Pseudo-secularist people start with a premise that all acts of terror are indicative of a larger social deficiency, they totally overlook the strong influence of bigoted and ABSOLUTIST (thats the operative word) belief systems like Islam.
The result is that inspite of their good intentions (Like MK Gandhi's) to promote a humanist approach, good meaning Hindus/Sikhs you are the first victims of self delusion.
Fortunately, most ineffective pseudo secularists will not be of much damage, but people at leadership level like Gandhi and his type can lead a helpless population to absolute disasters (like the Hindus of Noakhali in sept 1946)
So get real and be a realist. (read the entire Quran). See for yourself what we all (including the poor Muslim) are dealing with.
AND IF YOU ARE A TRUE HUMANIST, HELP THE MUSLIMS COME OUT OF ISLAM.
