Yet again the rabid animals have killed innocent civilians.
Yesterday 5 bomb blasts in a Delhi market place have left 20 dead and 90 injured.

20 DEAD IN DELHI SERIAL BLASTS

CNN-IBN
New Delhi: Five bomb blasts rocked popular shopping destinations in the national capital within a span of 22 minutes on Saturday evening killing at least 20 people and leaving over 100 injured.

The first blast took place at Ghaffar Market in the Karol Bagh area at about 1815 hrs IST in which 16 people were killed and over 20 injured.
Soon after the blast in Ghaffar market, two explosions took place in Connaught Place killing four people.
The two blasts in Connaught place took place at the Central Park near Palika Bazaar and at Barakhamba Road.
There were two blasts in Greater Kailash-I, too, with the first one taking place near Levi’s store and the other blast took place near the Prince Pan Corner damaging 10 shops.
The blasts were of low intensity and ball bearings were used to maximise the impact.

The Indian Mujahideen emailed IBN-CNN minutes before the blasts claiming responsibilities.

Indian Mujahideen claims responsibility

NDTV Correspondence

An e-mail purportedly from a group calling itself the “Indian Mujahideen” claimed it carried out the attacks, adding: “Do whatever you can. Stop us if you can.”

Killed by muslims.
Killed by mujahideen
Killing in the name of Allah.
Killing in the name of Islam.

Yet, there are muslims who will shrug of responsibility under their traditional excuse.
Such as,

All India United Muslim Mocha (AIUMM), in a communique, termed the blasts as an attack on sovereignty, integrity and secularism. “Terrorism has nothing to do with Islam. Persons involved in such heinous acts cannot claim to be a Muslim,” Kamal Ashraf, spokesperson of the AIUMM, said.

On a discussion forum,
when asked to condemn these killing in the name of Islam, a muslim member wrote

those who are killing for repligion are not the followers of the real religion. those who work for peace like myself are the followers of the real religion.

I can only read in disbelief.
With one evasive word and an evasive excuse – the responsibility is wiped off.

Any act that has been committed in the name of a religion the entire religion has to stand up and take responsibility. When there are a series of such acts with the same message it is all the more reason that the religion takes the responsibility to stop it.

Those who killed they were all muslims.
There are no ‘non-real’ muslims, just like there is no ‘non-real’ Islam.

There is only one Quran.
There is only one text from their God – one teaching.
Those who kill also finds justification in the same text.
There is no two ISLAMs.

The question in my mind is,
if and when the perpetrators are arrested, tried and found guilty of mass murder,
should they be hung?
or should they be shot?
or should they be pardoned because their act was in the name of religion?

Should we not ask the victims and their families?

  1. I like your ‘rabid animals’ description better.
    How can one prove a negative ? It would be as crazy as me saying ‘Christians’ are pacifists when we both know the lives taken by those claiming that as their loyalty are in the millions.
    “Claiming to be” : if the Divine is known in our hearts the Truth is known. If it is not honoured – neither is Truth.
    You are not the only one crying out this way.

    Also Christians are told they must stand against these lies. Some days it feels more like being smothered by them.
    Go with God – by whatever name you so designate.

  2. It is a sad, sad world in which we live

    Everyday requires a new requiem

    Sept. 11, 2001 equals Sept. 13 2008

    RIP

    The scientifically impossible I do right away
    The spiritually miraculous takes a bit longer

  3. @ Clapso,
    thanks for stopping by, its always good to read your comments.

    It is a sad world.
    And gets more sad by the day – are we really getting civilised?
    I don’t think so.

    I may be starting to blog again.
    I have to rebuild some articles from an old database.

    It really is good to see you.

  4. Thanks Opit,

    This is the 21st century.
    We chose the path of ‘civilisation’ thousands of years ago.

    We are worse than animals.
    We are the worst of all life-forms on this planet.

    If, and as I believe we were,
    the creator got it all wrong (or may be right, who knows?).

  5. Hey Amit, This is one of greatest dilemma. People are killing in the name of religion/caste/creed etc. It is a pathetic condition. Just imagine, there have been killings in the month of Ramzan. Those people who follow their religion are denying their own principles.

    Anyways, a great post.

    I have something for you on my blog too.

  6. Thanks for your comment Bendtherulz,
    I am holding onto it – I intend to answer it as a new post.

  7. […] justify inactions – “Islam is a religion of peace” – that is a myth – “those who kill in the name of islam are not true muslims“ – that is a blatant […]
