Having seen some of the comments below on Muslim terrorism I have to write this message.Terrorism is not only Muslim but of all variety. However the problem with most terrorists is that they are fighting on a totally negative platform--namely hate,destruction and revenge. They are not revolutionaries who want to change the world but merely reactionaries. SIMI is also such an organization. NOne of these organization have a vision and a plan for the future based on inclusion rather than exclusion,love rather than hate, peace rather than war. Hence the Supreme court has done well by giving this judgement. Let us discuss this issue not as a Muslim issue but as an issue about an organization which is medieval in nature and wants the nation to regress and break up and is also anti people. All such organizations need to be banned and exposed through an enlightened debate.

when do you so called "seculars" realize the ground reality?? see.. no body wants to kill one another..but if 99% of the community is responsible for 99% of the problems then obviously every one would blame that community...having said that..that does not mean that we are not seculars..we are actually nationalists who are trying hard to make our "secular" brothers understand that..."one cannot go to a war with a stick no matter how brave he is, to fight his oppenent who is armed with an AK47"..

You have read me wrong. I am against all terrorism. The question is how do we we tackle it. Do we tackle it with the objective of taking revenge or to defeat their designs comprehensively and forever so that no India will support terrorism.

Thanks Vipin. You have brought in a very important point. What is the great "organizational vision" these so called Muslim organizations have in Kashmir? It is this :- keep the people uneducated, oppress women, keep everyone poor and involved in religion(Shariat) so that they do not confront real issues like poverty, corruption etc. Their vision is nothing more than a throwback to middle ages. Do you think this can really last. The people have seen through this. They are only silent because they are being held at the point of the gun by these terrorists. The day they rise they will do away with all these regressive organizations. Also please don't underestimate the Indian army.

but boss, everyone IS adopting that mindset. And you talked about history. What great thing is there in history about muslims? Don't you think they tried to convert us? but we also had kings to protect us. Still they succeeded in becoming 5 lakhs before the British took over.

You have either no sense of history or you are getting emotional or you are deliberately ignoring facts. Muslims ruled this country for centuries and had huge armies at their disposal. When they could not convert all Hindus to Islam do you really think that can happen in the future? You have completely missed the point. The issue is how to secularise and modernise everyone including Muslims. Religion should only be a personal matter not a matter of politics and coercion. If some people in the country have a medieval mindset it does not necessarily mean everyone should adopt that mindset. Random explosions will not work. One needs to confront religious zealotry intelligently and not emotionally.
