I will be highly honoured if you publish this article. I apprecite your time to read this article. Thanks Have a nice time With Best Regards Ripan Kumar Biswas New York, U.S.A ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone should unite to uproot terrorism Ripan Kumar Biswas Ripan.Biswas@yahoo.com "Whoever kills an innocent soul, it is as if he killed the whole of mankind, and whoever saves one, it is as if he saved the whole of mankind [The Quran, 5:32]." Such is the value of a single human life, that the Qur'an equates the taking of even one human life unjustly, with killing all of humanity. Either they are wrong who released pigeons symbolizing peace and light candles in memory of those who were killed, or the ten gunmen who have the deviant beliefs and misleading ideologies. People were taking autographs and congratulating them as the commandos ended a three-day rampage in Mumbai on Saturday, November 29, 2008, but not the militants who killed nearly 200 people in a strike on In a sensational disclosure made by Ajmal Amir Kasab, the jihadi nabbed alive by Mumbai cops, his fellow colleagues had been motivated enough to kill innocents indiscriminately. "Please don't keep me alive. Kill me. I have come to die," he begged. They targeted ten different places which are always crowded for different public services.
Is it one of many ways to beat them—the infidels, the gentiles, the heathens, or the pagans! In their blogs, websites, and by different ways, some Islamic extremists praised the Mumbai attacks, including the targeting of Jews, the Americans, the Britons, and other foreigners saying that it's all right for Muslims to set them castles on fire, drown them with water and take some of them as prisoners, whether young or old, women or men, child or adult, strong or disable. But a handful of the beguilers bring the entire faith into disrepute and besmirching the religion. "Anyone who slaughters people and screams `Allahu Akbar' (God is Great) is sick and ignorant," said Kazim al-Muqdadi, a political science lecturer at
So far they denied any responsibility of killing more than two hundred, mostly civilians including a Mumbai Police Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) chief Hemant Karkare, but the Indian Government has accused the Pakistan-based group Lashkar-e-Taiba, according to the many sources the authority said including the clue given by Ajmal, only alive jihadi. Giving reason, government pointed out that
Earlier at the beginning of attack on Thursday, November 27, 2008, a previously unknown group calling itself the Deccan Mujahideen, which e-mailed news organizations, claimed that it had carried out the attacks. The group, however, may be connected with (or even an alias of) the Indian Mujahedin, which claimed responsibility for several terrorist strikes earlier this year. According to the Indian terrorism experts, both are likely to have connections to, or simply be renamed versions of Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba or the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI).
Mumbai has frequently been targeted in terror attacks, including a series of blasts in July 2006 that killed 187 people. The city has been hit repeatedly by attacks since March 1993, when Muslim underworld figures tied to Pakistani militants allegedly carried out a series of bombings on Mumbai's stock exchange, trains, hotels, and gas stations. Authorities say those attacks, which killed 257 people and wounded more than 1,100, were carried out to revenge the deaths of hundreds of Muslims in religious riots which had swept
The human beings in this world who want to live in peace and prosperity are a majority. The terrorists are a puny and sickly minority. When people are shooting at civilians, throwing grenades, attacking hotels and hospitals, it doesn't really matter what their grievances are. They have forfeited their right for peaceful change and when they attack innocent people, they are terrorists, pure and simple. Religion is Love. Treat a human with respect and love. Never forget what we do to others will return to us. Terrorism has not helped anyone and it doesn't have any religion.
There is no justification of killing innocent people. In simple words the act is terrorism, without any debate. The point in light is this that why these common people become terrorists? What force them to leave their families and loved ones? What transforms them to be such a brutal? What are the causes? Unless and until we don't address such issues that we will be facing such incidents and blame game will continue for ever.
On the other hand, the terrorist organizations use religion frequently every time that it feels that religion justifies their stand and action. Whatever they are doing is permitted to them by religion. This very concept of these organizations rattles everyone and arise questions to these terror outfits. Does God allow killing of innocent people? What arguments do the militants have to justify their acts of terrorism and violence? Or the misinterpretation by Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, the leader of the Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorist organization "Democracy is part of the system we are fighting against and it is not possible to work within a democracy and establish an Islamic system" is right?
Every religion considers all life forms as sacred. However, the sanctity of human life is accorded a special place. The first and the foremost basic right of a human being is the right to live. The fact is that these terrorists have no religion and they are trying to create fear and tension in the world for some unclear reasons. There are good and not so good people in all religions. Negative has no meaning. Islam is no better or worse than Christianity or Hinduism. Each proclaims it is the best. Obviously, this is not so. In the face of such an enemy, we believe it is vital that democratic political forces in all countries unite. We need a global movement of solidarity linking together communities threatened by terror.
Blaming each other or resigning from the posts as what the interior minister of India Shivraj Patil did taking the "moral responsibility" due to the attack, is not the ultimate solution. The latest Mumbai attack should spur everyone on to redouble the efforts to unite communities against terror, from
