One more blast. We do not know yet from which community he is. Let us hope he is not a muslim brother. It bleeds my heart to learn every now and then about such blasts and terrorist acts. Our muslim youth need to come out of religious fanaticism. The educated muslims should take a lead to guide our community on a right path instead of allowing some uneducated religious preachers to take hold of these youth.
We, as a community, are lagging far behind in education. Our standard of living is worst than any other community on this earth. More than 80% of our people live in slums. More than 80% are uneducated or dropouts.
Time has come for every muslim person to come out of their comfort zone of religion. Religion alone can not provide you a good life. Practising religion can be only a small part of life. However, what muslims are doing is fanatically getting attached to religion. Let us all give our utmost to improve on education and life standard. Let us produce many more APJ Kalam's. That would be the greatest test. Practising religion faithfully is not wrong. But being fanatic about it is certainly damaging the whole societ and unnecessarily giving powers to uneducated and very narrow minded religious preachers.
