In an otherwise good article the author says Islam does not sanction "indiscriminate" violence, and that Killing of "innocents" cannot be justified. Why use these qualifiers? Is plain violence and killing of people not considered innocent okay in Islam? Who decides? An innocent for one is a collaborator and traitor for another. This sounds like the "root cause" excuse to me.

Assalamualaikum everybody, The word Islam has been derived from the word "Salaam" which means peace and the greeting which I used on the top means "May peace be upon you".regarding your concerns about the kashmiri pandits we condemn it, the exploitation of the kashmiri pandits has been the handiwork of these so called "Isalamic terrorists" who are as Unislamic as one can be, even the author mentioned about how the muslim communitty should rise, and which it has in condemning such ghastly acts. The unfortunate thing hs been that the media has shown a lesser tendency to publish the voice of the muslim ulema( religious leaders) and the majority of the muslim populace. We urge the media and the our non-muslim brethren to please try and listen to the other voice before forming a wrong image of Islam after seeing the ghastardly acts of the "UnIslamic Terrorists"
