Will Power - Thats what we need
by nitin tripathi on May 15, 2008 01:18 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Has anyone thought why there has not been a single instance of terror in the United States of America post-9/11 unlike India where such attacks occur almost every day ?
The difference lies in the desire to study the problem scientifically and take remedial measures .... We do not have the political will to fight terrorism .... When new challenges come, new solutions also have to be found. Terrorism is a gift of the last century. Terrorist acts require an altogether new type of investigation. It requires new laws and new methodologies. A study should be conducted to identify the causes and suggest remedies. But there is no serious study in our country.

No dear, your analysis is faulty. Here is the difference:

When 9/11 happened in US supposedly done by Muslim groups, govt did not engineer RIOTS on Muslims. Whatever reaction took place against a common Muslim, US govt strongly put it down.

But here in India, when Godhra happened, Govt in power engineered RIOTS against innocent Muslims living several hundred kilometers away from site of accident.

Law and Order proved Tame, Judiciary proved no different. Leaders whose responsibility was to stop violence against innocents rather blew dog whistles telling majority that this is 'their style' of dealing with situation and sought to get political mileage out of it.

This difference you must keep in mind before glossing over why in US Muslims act differentrly than in India

you mean the only reason why there was no attack on US after 9/11 coz US didnt react against Muslims in US ..they did reach against them afghanistan. also thats not the only reason why there was no attack. US made its security strong and prevented it. I am sure Al qaida still wants to go and bomb it but they dont have the guts to do it in US now. also in US muslims are very less in numbers and ofcourse they were not responsible for 9/11 attacks. Before Godhra , there were so many attacks in India and government DID NOT REACT against Muslims then why there were more attacks after that. According to your theory , it should have stopped then only right ? please dont put false information on net. look at the problem from all angles and then comment

Similarly, when Babri Masjid was demolished why did 1000s of Hindus were killed by Muslims all over India on the same day even though those Hindus who were killed did not even know that Babri Masjid was demolished.

Apart from that it is only the Godhra incident which erupted into riot. But, there has been numerous incidents of bomb blast where innocent Hindus were killed?

What abt the thousands of Kashmiri Pundits butchered by Islamic Terrorists?

Another thing about US is that 9/11 was the only Terrorist attack at US. Whereas in India, it has been decades of Terrorist act.

IMPT POINT IS THERE ARE NO PSEUDO SECULARIST IN US
