I agree with the viewpoint of a few readers who expressed the views similar to mine. I am from Hyderabad. When another Muslim from a foreign country comes to Hyderabad to create trouble, it is easy for him to find hospitality in the Muslim neighborhoods. He will invest his funds in some business to employ the local boys and the youth, and readily he will find a wife as well. This makes him a member of the community and start planning his sabotage using the innocent (and sometimes not so innocent) friends he made in the neighborhood. Islam, as a religion, is intolerant of other religions. Over the years, other religions changed, but Islam has not changed. Remember the persecution of non-Christians a few centuries ago in Europe and Latin America. The religious hatred of Islam has gone to such lengths that they are killing their own brethern in Iraq and Karachi. The moderate and influential Muslims (I am sure that they constitute a large percentage of the educated Muslims) do not voice their opposition to the preaching of the mullahs poisoning the young minds with their ideology. The MP from Hyderabad is only worried about his popularity and he will stage the dharnas just for the show. With all the violence going on around the world, it is only natural that the people of other religions have their reservations in communicating with the Muslims. And in turn, this is alienating the Muslims further from the other communities and driving them into the folds of the militants. It is a sad situation but the lead has to come from the Muslim religious leaders in not only condemning the terrorist acts, but act to punish the terrorists.
