I know some of you will not bother paying attention to what I say, simply because my Muslim name. But, it is true that my heart bleeds when I hear about such crimes against humanity. As a practising Muslim, who observes all Islamic duties and also Islamic appearence, I find these terrorists the worst creatures on the face of earth. I am telling you from an insider's perspective that I have heard teachers at Madrasahs cursing these terrorists. This crime, in no way, can be justified according to the right (and mmainstream) interpretation of Islamic texts and laws, then how can a knowledgable Muslim approve of it?
it is simply a war against humanity and in this context against Indians. Let us think how Muslims feel: 1) They cry at the pain of their fellow Indians irrespective of their religious affiliation. (no one can deny that Muslims and non Muslims both are killed in these attacks), 2) but they see hatred, anger or, at least, suspicion in the eyes of their fellow Indians for them, 3) hence, they suffer physically and emotionally and yet they have to live with an added burden of guilt which they never deserve in the first place.
I am not repeating it as a cliche but may be Muslims are not behind these attrocities and if the people who commit these crimes claim to be Muslims, they are not considered Muslims by the mainstream Muslim majority, then in what way Muslims are to be blamed? But one can easily notice that this reasoning will simply go down the drain as always.

You see, now you use the same rehtoric as these so called Muslim Jihadis. Religion is and can not be a problem itself as long as it is preferred by individuals or socieites as a way of life and as a way to interact with the divine. But the moment you FORCE other individuals or socities to accept your way of life, it becomes a source of violence. This happens not only with religions but with all ideologies. The world has witnessed this many times in the course of history, such as in French Revolution, Italian Revolution, Calvinist campaign, Communism and so on. Let us not IMPOSE on each other ideologies that are concerned with the Divine.

Md Murtaza `H ussain! Your sentiments are understood but can you tell me how these brainwashed 'criminal minded muslims' xan be steered? They take shelter in a muslim den with knowledge of some muslims!Carry out the mission and then flee! Till there is an invention to trace out faces from air /ether they are free and on suspicions many are harassed which causes the wrath of innocents! These creatures along with their shelter givers have no conscience at all! They are "H - ramis" and so can we brand them as "h-rami muslims"? The preventive sqad will be called 'h m d s s " meaning h-rami muslims detection and smashing sqad" agree?

- I can understand your plight. You are getting identified with things that you do not believe in just because of your religion.
If you want to make difference, then simply take a stance.
That : All muslims in India are Indians, first.
And you need to help your friends and neighbours believe this, if they think differently.
Do a simple action :
Encourage our muslim brothers to clap for India when India and Pakistan are playing cricket.
Your journey to reform will start from there.
Well, you surely can say " why me?".
Because, you want to make the difference.
I do not want VHP,RSS,BJP to ask for "Uniform Civil Law".
I want you and your friends to ask for it.
It's your country friend. Demand your your rights.

I truy appreciate your advice. Thanks for at least considering me an Indian (Not many people on this board consider Muslims Indians, which is a shame really as it may only help Muslims feeling distant from their own countrymen). I understand fully how a true Indian may detest the fact that their fellow citizens cheer the players of Pakistan. I admit, it does happen in Muslim settings and I totally oppose it. In fact, I have started this part of my reform campaign already. However, I don't quite understand how Uniform Civil Code matters in this context. Please correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding is that first of all Muslims don't have a say when it comes to criminal and civil matters and they abide by the same law as other Indians. In personal affairs they have the provision of Muslim law and even that is for those Muslims who want to opt for that while dealing with matters such as marriage, divorce, inheritance etc. I know many Muslims who never go for the latter even in personal affairs. But, if a community has a set of principles that is practised in a limited sphere, onl if opted for by individuals, what is the harm in it? It does, however, present India in a very good light.

There he goes he is proving again that all muslims are "potential" terrorists. and if we keep continue rational discussion with this fellow he will go out and blast to kill kafirs. Ok man can you do just one thing to prove that you are not a "potential terrorist"? can you tear off that page in kuran which says "kill the kafirs whenever and whereever you find them".....! No you can not. and so to me there is no difference between who are putting kuran in action (active terrorists) and those who are defending kuran by one or other stupid argument (passive terrorist). U R A PASSIVE (potential) TERRORIST. But you guys days are numbered man....pota is comming and so is GUJCOC. u r gonna get screwed up.

- Friend, all these happenings are temporary.
Like some bad hindi film music during 70's ( sorry Bappi Lahiri )
We will have young leaders who will not be carrying baggages from the partition days.
These young leaders would change the face of India.
Do you really think people who are abusing are very strong on convictions?
No. They just follow mob-psych. Shout from behind. This board also provides them that cover.
So, keep your heart and head in place. We all need to brave through this rotten phase.
You know in India we have so many communities. Castes and sub-castes. Each one has some unspoken rules and laws passed down from time immemorial. Imagine if each one of them follow their own set of religious / caste rules and laws, then how chaotic life would be !
What I mean to say in brief is that in modern society, the majority of our life should be governed by a common set of social laws of the land.
We must not hide behind our own set of rules and bring in a new interpretations.
Since you appeared friendly, let me ask you something.
How can a father-in-law rape the daughter-in-law, force the husband of the ill-fated lady to be called her son?
Instead of punishing the F-I-L, how can we separate the poor couple?
And worst part, no muslim intellectuals, IAS officers, Film writers, actors, scientist raise voice against this religious diktat !!!
