It is very sad to see how Jaffor Ullah tries to justifies mumbai
massacre. He did not cry like a humanist for the fallen indians; like
all other islamists he cried for palestine, like all other pakistanis
he cried for kashmir. One of the terrorists who performed the mumbai
mummassacre could write exactly the same article written by Jaffor
Ullah.
Let us be more focused and professional under these circuimstances.
No matter what (attention Jaffor Ullah!) we should denounce
islamist's acts. If they get an upperhand, there will not be an end
to our distress. They are already threatening to burn alive people of
various cultural organizations in bangladesh!
If Jaffor Ullah thinks that the world has been divided into usa-
israel-india on one side and the islamists on the other, then we
should all join the former, where all humans are equal. We should not
give any special status to islamists; they must keep their religeon
in the closet like all others.
and if Mr. Jaffor Ullah thinks he some baggage, then he does. It is
his own job to remove it.
