My Dear Indian friends, I have a strong conviction that Muslims in India are by large the source of trouble in the country. Check our police records and you will know what I mean.
HOWEVER, when it comes to a foreign country, let us understand that we have to forget our internal differences and support a fellow INDIAN in this hour of need. (I say this inspite of the fact that I know an Indian Muslim identifies himself as a Muslim first and as an Indian later).
I have traveled around the world. I have seen other societies from very close quarters. For Americans or Australians or the British etc, it does not matter if we are Hindu or Muslims. For them, we all are from third world and we all are trouble creators (terrorists) from their perspective. For them we all are the same. They do not want to know what differences and issues we have among us or even with Pakistan. (Some Americans even think Pakistan is a part of India.) We Muslims or Hindus or Indians or Pakistanis are one and the same for them. I wonder why and how, our Indian government goes running to these western countries to convey why and how Pakistan is epicenter of terrorism. For them, there is no Pakistan, there is no India. The consider us all the same....we are terrorists in their eyes.
So under these circumstances, for we all Indians, it is in our interest and it is also a matter of our self esteem and pride that we support our fellow Indian who has been intentionally and deliberately put into this situation
