I completely understand what you all must be going through and I know it is very difficult to be a Muslim today .
People try to club other struggles with Islamic terrorism . I wud like to clarify that naxals , LTTE and ULFA though terrorists are different from Islamic Terrorism
(Correct me if I am Wrong)
1) About Naxals : They do not have any religion because their source of inspiration is Ideology and it is primarily a class war ,war against the injustice and atrocities commited by a certain class.
2) ULFA : Do you know what is the main reason behind the emergence of ULFA ?? It is the illegal migrants from across the Border (Bangladesh) who have changed the deomgraphic structure of the region completely , ironically they are now waging a war on our country with the help from the same people across the border .
3)Sikh Terrorist :The real reason behind the Sikh terrorism of 80's was the support of the ISI to the Khalistani movement, again here the tone might suggest that it was a religious war but it was primarily a Political war , a fight for nationhood .
4) Tamils and LTTE :Everyone knows that it is a Political war for Nationhood because the Tamil community in SriLanka were treated as second class citizens ...
Though terrorism is terrorism and none can be justified
Now tell me which of the above is a Religious war against the infidels and a War to spread a particular religious Law or to spread the words of a particular Prop

Point-wise: 1) What did the government of Andhra Pradesh or any class in AP do to the Maoists that they are waging war against them and preventing development in Telangana districts thus making the development deprived public to demand for splitting a mother-like state?
2) Who disturbed the lives of north-east tribals and their way of life? Is it christian missionaries or the Hindu's miles away in rest of India? What have we Hindus got to do with it? Wont you call it a religious war? The tribals were priorly very much a part of our Hindu fabric, but now after embracing christianity they started fighting? How is this not a religious war?
3) Are Gulisthan terrorists not an example of religious extremism that they want a seperate country altogther for Sikhs? Did they not target and butcher Hindus on the streets of Punjab?
4) If a bomb blows up in Srinagar, will you call it a fight for Kashmiri nationhood or Islamic terrorism? How can you seperate both? Same anology applies to the Hindu-tamils who cannot live or resolve differences with Sinhali-buddhists non-violently. Its not political war...it is very much racial, linguistic and communalistic. How can we as Hindus sympathise the LTTE?
See if you start justifying and differentiating the use of violence from one terrorist act/outfit to another, then one would be compelled to question the credibility of such a perspective. My point is, regardless of the motive or leanings, violence and terror in all forms and shapes shoul
