How many efforts have been taken by this community to reconcile with the larger community? <br /><br />With due regards to your analytical abilities, Guess you are underplaying the general threat due to this community. there is a muslim community close to the place I stay, and there is no chance in hell I will be caught in that place either on a friday or during nights. I dont think they believe in the concept of law and order as defined by the Indian constitution, anything acquired by force is fair game - encroachment, muggings, even kidnappings. Yes, I have been mugged more than twice in 1 year. You should take a look at crime statistics in the local police station there (surely you will now begin playing the tune of bias in institutions etc.,...seriously hope you will find something better). If you think it is minority oppression, well, I never faced problems in christian dominated places. <br /><br />Also - muslims in Kashmir or palestine are oppressed, so another in bangalore or mumbai or new york blows up things? It is very feeble to even justify these kind of arguments.Is kashmir or palestine an issue of religion - that the response comes out in name of religion? Arent they local issues?. <br /><br />Any radicalism needs to be dealt with an iron hand. You can believe in whatever ideology you want, but the moment it impinges on someone else's life, the question of liberty to practice religion etc., does not arise. If you think that there can exist competing notions of religion vs nationality (vs anything else), well, you would be called an anarchist in most western countries. <br /><br />I guess by debating on trivial issues like vande mataram etc., you are simply missing the real issue. There is a real threat to the integrity of the country and we must wake up to the reality.<br /><br />Before propogating this brand of idealism, I think you must spend time in a place like the one I mention - it is in India, in a "progressive" city and not in Pakistan / Bangladesh. The ground realities are way different - I grew up for the most part of my life as a liberal and during some stages even admiring islam for its egalitarian nature. This was only till I moved closer to the place where I am now, close to a muslim community. You try this, and you will change your tone a lot of times over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21825668.post-35819582775636476292007-07-12T17:43:00.000+05:302007-07-12T17:43:00.000+05:30Amit:First, I don’t enjoy debating for the sake of...Amit:<BR/>First, I don’t enjoy debating for the sake of debating. Yes, when I was young, I used to love debating just for the sake of debating. It served two purposes – One, it was my way of proving to myself that I am smart enough. Second, it was to prove that there is nothing called universal morality and that nothing is right or wrong by itself and that it all depends on the person presenting the argument. <BR/><BR/>Now, I have grown older and saner and mature. I don’t like to do an idle talk. I like to present my views on certain topics that seem to affect the Indian psyche, like our perceptions, our prejudices, our values, etc. <BR/><BR/>Second, I present my views and opinions. It’s up to you to accept them or not. I will try at the most to clarify (if indeed some points need to be clarified), but I will not try to convince you.<BR/><BR/>There are some readers who like to see a reason or rationale to validate their own feelings. My views sometimes help them corroborate or substantiate their own feelings. They feel- ‘Yes, I have always felt this way, but now I know why’. <BR/><BR/>However, I have learnt this through my discussions - when you educate a fool, what you get is an educated fool. And he is far more dangerous than an illiterate or ignorant. So, I do not attempt to educate or convince fools. ‘Let them be’- is my motto.<BR/><BR/>--<BR/><BR/>At times, I resort to providing a counter-example only to make the readers think. Whether they want to think or not is up to them. I can’t force them to think. Fools would not think anyway. The problem is with educated fools, who seem to use ‘smart remarks’ to discard it. That is OK with me as well.<BR/><BR/>For example, you said ‘I'd be surprised if Indira Gandhi hadn't tried other means, and military action was the last resort’<BR/><BR/>And to that I said, ‘Yes, Indira Gandhi MUST have tried all other means before imposing Emergency in India. Looks like she had no choice other than imposing Emergency.’<BR/><BR/>Why do you think I made this statement? You decided not to think. <BR/><BR/>If you go back and think a bit you would realize that you had given the benefit of doubt to a responsible position, that of Prime Minister or Indira Gandhi, and assumed such a person in such responsible position must have thought of other alternatives before resorting to storming the Golden Temple. I provided a counter-example which discredits such responsibility on her- where she imposed Emergency because her election was termed rubbished by a High Court in India. <BR/><BR/>My counter-example is to show that this same person has previously resorted to an extreme action even though a much easier and better alternative was available just because she had to cover up certain tracks which she did not want to expose. And could she not have done the same with Operation Blue Star?<BR/><BR/>And indeed, it is the case, as anyone who knows Indian history a bit would tell you that. Indira Gandhi created Brindanwale so as to usurp power away from Akal Takht, but that plan backfired when Brindanwale became a wild tiger who would not like to get tamed. She just went ahead to crush him without having to resort to a better and easier method though available (just as in case of Emergency).<BR/><BR/>And you thought my counter-example was ‘Non sequitur and a spurious relationship.’ <BR/><BR/>Inadequate education can give you vocabulary but not impart you with wisdom on where and how to use that vocabulary.<BR/><BR/>--<BR/><BR/>I could sit down and explain why solar power is not a viable first option to a country where even its basic needs are not met. Its easy to talk about it, but not viable when you sit down to implement it. <BR/><BR/>I could easily say that India receives so much rainfall every year. Imagine why we can’t tap that water and end all water shortages. There is a similar joke in entrepreneurial and investor circles where a young entrepreneur comes to say there are 1 billion people in China. He wants to target only 0.1% of them (which is such a small share) and hence he has a market size of 1 million for himself. Which sounds OK only to those who don’t know how business works. Just because the market or resources is available doesn’t mean you can tap it. An alien could look at the planet Earth and comment, ‘I can’t believe these guys do not have adequate power. There is so much water on this planet, they could easily have fusion reactors to illuminate the whole of solar system, but yet, they do not seem to do it.’<BR/><BR/>All these people are missing one point. Just because certain resource and certain technology is available does not make it viable. <BR/><BR/>This is only to make you think why we don’t go for tidal power projects though we have such a long coastline. Not all technologies become viable alternatives at a point of time. Some end up being the secondary source of power. Some wait for certain advances to be made. Some wait for certain critical volume to be achieved after which adoption becomes viable because of economies of scale. <BR/><BR/>BTW, dams are still needed to tap the water resources to provide water to many Indians.Sujaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16539694685428659940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21825668.post-6463392574720202007-07-12T05:34:00.000+05:302007-07-12T05:34:00.000+05:30Yes, Indira Gandhi MUST have tried all other means...<I>Yes, Indira Gandhi MUST have tried all other means before imposing Emergency in India.

I have found your articles ( 3 parts ) very though provoking. I see them as a very matured and detailed analysis . Most of the comments refuting your views here are a fit or a anger stuff. If You stand back and take a holistic view of the world, Yes we have all committed crimes against people not our kind , though not using train bombs or rocket launchers , but with what ever best methods and means we had then. To expect the Islamic world to take the same old swards and bows and arrows , is crazy. Yes people will fight, using the latest technology available to them, may be using mind control like in matrix tomorrow if even that is possible. Dont see how they fight, see it as a fight , the means and methods are just based on teh availability at that era. I am sure if Asoka had airplanes he wud have flown them into his so called enemy's or hit them with nukes . We have all done that. Just coz in the last 17 years ( after the fall of the soviet union) , we suddenly woke up one day and thought we got to be civilized doesn't mean , every one will! How I hate this Hippocratic world! - By the way when I say , we i mean every human being in the world. Not any country region or what ever. After all 500 years now , if the Human race still exists ( given the exponential curve of technology and ability to eliminate fellow beings) , my Nth generation successor will read it as another chapter in his/her history text.

If you wish to assume that because it makes your life easy, be my guest.<br /><br />Looking for solutions to solve terrorism requires understanding the reasons and root causes for such terrorism. It does not mean one condones or legitimizes it.<br /><br />Bombing camps of terrorists can be a knee-jerk reaction to curb terrorism. Such camps sprout elsewhere with more vigor and more recruits. It only incites more such actions. Bombing Afghanistan has resulted in more terrorists and bombing Iraq has led to more deaths due to terrorist activities (within Iraq and outside). I am not sure what such bombing has achieved other than killing innocents and increasing the ranks of terrorist groups. Osama has succeeded- not because of 9/11, but because of 'War on Terror'which got all radicals under one banner<br /><br />Indira Gandhi, in an effort to contain Brindanwale, bombed Golden Temple- and you know the results!<br /><br />Attempting to understand the causes of such terrorists activities is only the first step towards solving it. It should not be confused with being a party to it.<br /><br />The day you arrive at such maturity, you are most welcome to visit my site again.

On one hand,...Your hypothesis contradicts itself. <br /><br />On one hand, you scream that Muslims are not violent. On the other, you say that how can Muslims NOT be terrorists if they are "oppressed" and "cheated."<br /><br />On one hand, it is perfectly alright if Muslims take up arms, be terrorists and blow people up because there is a justification for it (which you provided) BUT if Muslims are accused of being violent, it is not justified! And you go about accusing people of being hypocrites! Heh!<br /><br />If oppression, exploitation and deception is a justification for people to blow up buildings, trains and kill innocent people, then being a lower caste Hindu, I should go about killing upper caste Hindus, who are responsible for subjugating me and my kind for 3000 years. <br /><br />But somehow, I dont see a <i>single</i> lower caste Hindu mate out of 850 million in India fly planes into buildings, take hostages and blow up trains.<br /><br />While lower caste Hindus like Dr. B. R. Ambedkar have adopted a civilized and democratic process of fighting for justice and relief from 3000 year long oppression, Muslims have adopted the most barbaric and uncivilized means, with no respect whatsoever for life, freedom and good sense.<br /><br />You yourself say democracy has been denied in Muslim countries by oppressive dictators, supported by the West. If that is so, then why dont the Muslims target <i>their</i> own oppressors at <i>home</i> instead of the dogs from the West? Why dont they direct their vengeance on <i>those who are actually responsible for democracy and freedom being denied to them</i> - the dictators and the Ayatollahs? <br /><br />Why the hell dont they try to blow up the buildings and trains of the dictator governments, WHO ARE MUCH CLOSER AT HOME than take all the pain to go all the way to the infidel lands in the West, use the freedom that their governments protect, eat their food, drink their water, and pay them back by blowing up their people? <br /><br />Why this discrimination between "oppressors who are Muslims" and "oppressors who are infidels"?<br /><br />The source of their problems lie in their own lands. The source of their problem are the dictators at HOME, who themselves are Muslims. If the Muslims are so intent on getting democracy and relieving themselves of oppression, then they should use all their illgotten RDX and Ammonium Nitrate to fight THESE people first instead of DENYING things, saying there is absolutely no problem in their own lands and that the responsibility for all their problems lies <i>entirely</i> with the socalled "Rest of the World."<br /><br />The first step Muslims need to take towards a more peaceful world future is to ACCEPT that there is a problem with themselves first and go about changing themselves and bring themselves into the 21st century. The Rest of the World, like India, has more business to do, like providing food and safe water to the masses, providing education to the masses, reversing environmental damage than bother with a bunch of coldblooded maniacs who find solace and "freedom from oppression" in slaughtering innocent people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21825668.post-85601939236155179142006-10-02T10:31:00.000+05:302006-10-02T10:31:00.000+05:30(Oh, so we are supposed to give whatever the Musli...(Oh, so we are supposed to give whatever the Muslims want to buy peace with the Islamic world... so, here I go, more suggestions:)<br /><br />7.

So you see Allah, what a hypocrite I am!<br /><br />May Allah <i>smile</i> upon you Sujai, not out of appreciation but out of pity :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21825668.post-50663221247614599692006-10-02T08:08:00.000+05:302006-10-02T08:08:00.000+05:30Sujai
Now you did it. You better hide for cover n...Sujai<br /><br />Now you did it. You better hide for cover now. Angry Indians are going to soon scream for your head. lol<br /><br />You should have mentioned that the treatment that the muslim world has received which has led them to adopt violence, does not justify their violence and killing of innocence. Perhaps you may also want to mention that the idea of this post is for people to see that the supposed "muslim problem" throughour the world is not really a muslim problem alone. Muslims are as humans as anybody else. part of the resolution of the problem also lies with the muslims in controlling and condemning violence. But yes, enough of that part has been said. It's time the west and many other non-muslim nations step down the pedestal and scrutinize themselves. <br /><br />Regards<br /><br />Take Care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21825668.post-30170477503773969142006-10-02T02:52:00.000+05:302006-10-02T02:52:00.000+05:30islam<a href="http://www.praisetoallah.org">islam</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
