True Indian, I will question your rationale though I will not question you sincerity. 1. Yes I agree, but the moot question is who is an 'innocent' person? I believe that the Quran is not clear enough on that and this provides the loop holes that terrorist’s misuse 2. Again define "community leaders”. I saw a lot of community leaders vociferously protesting about Sorabuddin case! I don’t see those community leaders today. Do the Muslims have two sets of community leaders - one for protesting against atrocities on Muslims and another for condemning terror strikes? Ex: Javed Saab, Shabana Azmi, Teesta Setalvad 3. I will agree cent percent that the Quran is not a hate manual. But I will also state that verses have been taken out of context by Islamic extremist to justify their deeds that the Quran does not sanction. 4. Chick or Egg. If you speak of Naroda Patiya some one will talk of Marad? But every Muslim in this country should ask them if they have been treated better than the Hindus in Pakistan or Bangladesh. In sixty years we have have Muslim Presidents, CJIs, and CMs etc. The Mullahs in Pakistan objected to having a Hindu as the CJP for 30 days! Chick or egg Kuttukara? 5. Yes I am a Hindu but I think Muslims have contributed hugely to this country! But I will not accept that Muslim Terrorism should be condoned. If I did thousands who lost theist life in Terror would curse me!
