Terrorism is not Jihad
by citizen on Jul 09, 2005 11:31 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Dear Mr. Raman,
Your analysis is good. However, I strongly object to the indiscriminate use of the phrase 'jihadi terrorism'. Jihad is a pious concept in Islam. If some misguided people are (mis)using it, that doesn't mean that we should also follow them. After all, we never called LTTE as Tamil Terrorism or IRA as Christian terrorism or Gujrat genocide as Hindu terrorism. Terrorism doesn't have any nationality or religion. The terms like 'Islamic terrorism' or 'Jihadi terrorism' are created by western media and unfortunately Indian media has picked that up without any thought.

Thanks
