In India, a country with one of the largest populations of Muslims in the world, the treatment meted out to the entire community has been called by many, discriminatory. While to some extent, their grievances might be justified, but to claim that Indian Muslims may be economically or socially amongst the lower strata of society, due to discrimination, would be far from the truth. After all they are not the only minority community in India. What about Sikhs? Aren’t they one of the most prosperous?

I recall from my school days: we had some wonderful Muslim teachers. While they themselves were highly learned and well read they did not permit their daughters to go to school. Many Muslims to this day prefer to send their children to Madarsas as opposed to normal schools. In this age of neck break competition, where would one expect to end up with that kind of education and attitude? I am not for a moment suggesting that we should all distance ourselves from our ethnicity, religion, culture, values and the rest. But one has to face reality and adapt to the need of the hour.

I do not understand who you refer to as “not exactly lying” worldwide.
With news reports hitting screens/monitors every minute and from every corner every camp, it is not that the whole truth does not reach us. It is there for those who wishes to look for it.

It is “not exactly lying” – but “not accepting” or indeed “complete denial” that is rampant. Many are gullible enough to believe the denials.

There are two points I will make though,

1. brainwashing.
muslims/madrassa –
have been brainwashing hatred against anything non-islam for centuries.

When Taliban thumbed their nose at the world community and blasted to dust the Bamiyan Buddhas, they spectacularly confirmed their religious intolerance.
When al Qaeda hit WTC – they made it clear there is no limit to how far they will go to get what they want.

Such acts of iconoclasm, of every islamic terrorism, builds automatic contempt and hatred against them. If there is now a reciprocal brainwashing, they have no one to blame.

2. India unsafe.
India has been unsafe since 1947.
India is unsafe because the western powers were deluded Pakistan was a responsible nation and their friend. Decided to turn a blind eye to whatever nefarious activity Pakistan would indulge in as long as she kept them happy.

I am fighting the “denials” and the “propaganda of denials”.
I do not stop anyone to continue to be deluded. Till someone enters their country and shoots innocent civilians in the name of religion.

Will India get hit by Pakistani nukes? Extremey likely.
But make no mistake – it is as likely nukes stamped made in Pakistan will hit America too.

I would hate to think you are implying I too am in the “not exactly lying” group or indulge in blatant falsehood.

How very true!

They dont like the term muslim terrorism, but are quick to come up with ‘hindu terrorism’. Hypocrites!

Pakistan is still rotting at heart with 60 years of frustrated anger, that they could not get the whole of Kashmir. The very first act of the Pakistani Army – sending Pashtuns into Kashmir to kill, plunder and rape, by todays definitions was an act of terrorism. Since then there has been 3 major and many smaller conventional warfare, but the non-stop insurgency into Indian territory – never hits the international headlines. This time the targeting of foreigners and jews has given it such prominenece.

Pakistan military and their Intelligence – the evil ISI – has persistently used the “islamists” terror roups to wreak destructions in India. It is not just islamic terrorism, it is Pakistani terrorism. Pakistan is the terror state – created and nurtured by successive US governments. I am convinced Musharraf was desperate to start another War following the hiding he received at Kargil. The ONLY reason forced himself to oust an elected PM.

9/11 saved India – not many realises it. Mushy’s dream was shattered when the world focussed on Pakistan and he had to join US – but have they fought $10 billion worth? Those who believe Pakistan is an ally in the war against terror are in delusion. Pakistan IS the TERROR.

Whatever I write on Kashmir / Pakistan – has been based on hours of reading and cross-referencing news. The truth is so chilling that many would rather not know about it. The ostrich syndrome. The world today, like our hypocritical minister, is digging its own grave. The one 9/11, the London 7/7 – has not been a hard enough kick up the rear end. The next one will be a big one. it has to be – Pakistan is running out of time, money and options.

Mumbai was an alarm call, the world has hit the snooze button and gone back to sleep.

These are not taunts, those are the words that are in the minds of every muslim. Every muslim – that includes the so called “moderates” wants the Islamic ummah. It is their religion. Look at the photographs of muslims all over the world out in the streets – joining together voices in anger against the Israelies. Where were these for three days Mumbai was burning? They were all exulting in silence and in the privacy of their minds – for to each muslim it was one more victory of islam – one step forwards in their jihad for their ultimate aim of an Ummah.

Know what, when the time comes, which ever country gets the islamic nukes – deserves it. Even if it is India. The lessons have always been there to recognise and learn; but we had overwhelming selfish desires, the muslim votes (to create a “secular democratic” government !!!- thats a laugh – muslims do not believe in democracy / human rights) – fight the commies, or keep the House of Sauds happy so that Dollar reigns supreme.

I honestly hope I am gone before the muslims takes over, I’d rather die than live as a second class citizen to a stone-age religion found upon one persons unsubstantiated claims that God spoke to him. and him alone in the entire lifespan of humankind.

Huh.
