Muslim = Terrorist
by arnab prakash deka on Jul 05, 2007 08:27 PM

There are hardliners in every religion.I am a hindu and I lived in a hostel and always had friends from Different religions.My muslim friends were always excited to celebrate Hindu festivals as we were for Eid.

Contrary to the post 9/11 view of "Every terrorist is a muslim" I cannot forget the help I got from my muslim freinds when I was penniless and down on my luck in a foreign land Away from India.

Now I know many of you would deem me as a terrorist supporter and blah blah but hey if god really exists in any religion in any form for that matter, either they would be good mates in the promised land, if not they are dirty politicians who have their vested interests. I believe the former is true. If thats the case we have no right deeming a particular religion and its followers as terrorist just because of misdoings of few individuals who unfortunately belong to that religion.

Hindus burned Graham steins and his kids in Orissa alive... for this inhuman act,Are all Hindus to be blamed? Few sikhs blew up an Air India Plane and killed innocent people, are all sikhs terrorists?

In retrospect we may be born into a religion but we cannot control nor define another individuals action though he may follow the same faith as me. Am I responsible for his actions?...Definitely no...Then why do we have to Deem an entire religion and its followers terrorist and hardliners? People who do it, I pity their ignorance..
