There is a cause and effect.
Israel came into being by the stroke of a pen. However, the Jews believed they were returning to the holy land and felt justified in recovering it from the Arabs. They were initially helped by the Western greed for oil possessed by the Arabs. Today, the US helps the Israelis, though they disapprove of the colonisation of Palestine, because of the powerful jewish lobby.
The Palestinians are brethren with Arabs and all are muslims. It may not be too difficult to convince self-righteous muslims that they need to fight for their brothers. In politics deaths are part of the passage. It is true of British India, independent India and recently Iraq.
Sad cause and effect but true. At the bottom of it all is Israel's drive to assert itself. They do not accept the thousands of years of history that followed the exodus of jews from Egypt.

A Muslim is one who believes in Islam and does ONLY good deeds. By that definition a terrorist is not a Muslim but only carries a Muslim name. Living in India and fed by a biased news media you are probably unaware of the goings on elsewhere in the world. By a set of circumstances it is only the Muslims who are largely targeted by the rest of the world. This is a vicious cycle. Bush and his cronies, duly elected by their people use the tax payers money to fund the country's army, train and equip them to "fight" an enemy. How is such an army that kills and terrorize whole countries or communities different from the Al Qaida. There are different levels of reactions to an event by a set of people. Some are indoctrinated and develop into "terrorists". When we classify and suspect all Muslims as "terrorists" Or "terrorist supporters", what moral right do we have to condemn some one Muslim who identifies himself with other Muslim victims and tries to express his feelings in a way you and I detest. I don't support terrorism of any kind, whether it is led by a "legal" army of Bush, Blair etc Or the one led by an "illegal" army of Osama Bin Laden". It is very easy to sit in the comfort of a protected room and preach. If terrorism has to stop it is important that the moderate Muslims must come out and speak against it publicly. It is equally important that we should speak against the likes of Bush Or Blair. Let us all together give the world a healing touch.

why are we targetting muslims? We are talking of being targetted when in Europe. But we are doing it right here in India.
Come on guys, this is a very dangerous trend. All Muslims are not bad. Evil does not have a religion. Evil is evil and should be rooted out. And this can happen if all of us are united in doing it.
We need to pray to God to get the strength to carry on.
