This is what written in today indian express in Kulkarnis article. No act of terror is perpetrated without a purpose. And when such acts do not remain isolated incidents but become part of a recurrent and almost endless series of attacks over an ever-expanding geographical footprint in India, it should be apparent even to the meanest intelligence that the purpose is strategic. The brains behind this low-intensity and long-drawn-out war have themselves stated that their strategic objective, by %u201Cbleeding India with a thousand cuts%u201D, is to so weaken and destabilise our country over a period of time that, ultimately, it succumbs to defeat, division and disintegration. Thereafter, the victors hope to hoist their own flag atop the Red Fort. All this and more is recorded in the widely publicised documents of SIMI, Lashkar-e-Toiba, Hizbul-Mujahideen and other organisations that subscribe to the ideology of pan-Islamism. The Holy Koran forbids shedding of innocent blood, exhorting that the killing of even a single innocent person is like killing the entire humanity. But these merchants of death have no qualms in shedding the blood of thousands of innocent Indians in the name of jihad.

Whatever you have said is 100% true. Lets see the issue little bit broader than succumbing to emotional senses like "holy kuran" or "innocent muslims". Everyone knows what LeT, JeM, HuJI or SIMI or any other islamic fundamental outfit are upto. The question is - "Who is backing up these organizations?" Answer - "Home grown Islamic Fundamentalists" No country in the world including America has given special rights or reservation to its minorities. But India has given that. Not only in Jobs, education, Huj pilgrimage. Everywhere, they were considered as "minorities" and have equal rights as others. What is the result? How many muslims are ready to dare their own jihadi fundamentalists? Not even ONE. But everyone is pointing their fingers towards Babri Masjid and Guj riots. No one thinks or takes a chance to look what they have done to our society in the name of Islam and Jihad. Terrorism is not a sole property of poor or it arises because of unemployment. Unemployed youths are not going in Jihadi path except Muslims. Think twice. You will know the answer.
The difference between Islam and other religions is ... Islam FORBIDS SHEDDING OF INNOCENT BLOOD ... while other religions FORBID SHEDDING OF BLOOD ... period. I cannot think of any religion which exhorts anything like JIHAD. Why is Islam different, if they are speaking of God who is all merciful? Even if the religion is for peace, if the practitioners are not for it, then the religion can do precious little.
