The purpose of the bomb blasts was to create fear and deepen the religious divide and mistrust between the Hindus and Muslims.
Sad to say, but I think the terrorists have succeeded to some extent .And the only people who are going to benefit are the politicians. It is a great tragedy.
My request to Muslims is ... When a Muslim organization or a terrorist is arrested or even suspected .... don't immediately start denying or justifying the act.
Don't become silent if a Muslim group is indicted or found guilty. Condemn that group even though they are Muslim. Condemn the persons in the loudest possible voice.
Let me explain. When there were communal riots in Gujarat. A large majority of Hindus outside Gujarat protested against Modi.
But the same is not the attitude of the average Muslim. I don't see public condemnation of Al Queda or ISI or any major terrorist groups by Indian Muslims. I can see widespread Muslim anger if there is an offensive cartoon published. But I don't see Muslim showing their anger on Islamic terrorists. The usual response from Muslims is that there is no proof and it is a conspiracy against Muslims...
Dear Muslims, please show your anger on Islamic terrorists. This will help to weaken them and strengthen our country. Without the support of the mainstream Muslim community, terrorism cannot be eliminated.
MY country must come first before my faith and religion whether I am Hindu or Muslim.
