Terrorism: A Need of Holistic ApproachBy: Sanjeer Alam | Wednesday , 1 Oct '08 10:56:01 AM Reply | Forward Arif Mohd. Khan in his article, 'Look Who Hihjacked Jamia' (I.E, October 1) aptly points out that police can fight terrorist but terrorism. However, terrorism in India, as he does, is narrowly conceived. Terrorism in public discourse overwhelmingly means Islamic terrorism and it is often isolated from other forms of disruptive activities which involve homicides/genocides such as communalism/casteism and naxalism. When a problem is narrowly defined, the strategy to combat it usually remains to be partial and is bound to be a failure. The need is, therefore, to have a holistic approach. Communalism is intrinsically linked to terrorism and vice versa. The need is to to monitor the activities of the non-state actors/communal organisations, the breeding ground of terrorism. And the the state must ensure that there is a fairplay in the course. Once the germination of seeds of inter group violence is neutralized, it would be easier to deal with terrorism.

who hijacked JamiaBy: GRRAO | Wednesday , 1 Oct '08 10:54:23 AM Reply | Forward This is a ppears to be a good analysis of what is happening on the gorund at Jamia. Through this channel I would like to implore Shri Arifji to translate his article in to both hindi and urdu and send the same to the urdu and hindi press in the country. This I am suggesting that this should be read by as many Indian muslims as possible. Then only there can be an element of resistance from the common muslim who is facing tremendous amount of problems in his/her day to day life.

Well saidBy: Rajesh | Wednesday , 1 Oct '08 10:32:36 AM Reply | Forward Well said Mr. Arif. Muslims needs persons like you as a guiding force for their prosperity. I fail to understand about these fundamentalist organization who never in their life speak about prosperity. They always ignore the positive and clear writing of Holy book , which talk of Humanity and interpret the other saying in a negative way. They are the worst enemies of Muslims. I appeal to Muslim masses to please secure your future and try to differentiate between a rabble rouses and real friends

Look who hijacked JamiaBy: ismail zafar khan | Wednesday , 1 Oct '08 10:10:26 AM Reply | Forward The above article written by Mr. Arif Mohd Khan is fantastic and seems to be the correct analysis regarding behaviour of the so called muslim rahnuma. i compleltely agree with him in critising the self appointed massiaha of the muslim community. no doubt their activities have jeopardised the whole community in beliveing that every muslim is terrorist in the eyes of gullible people and impressionable mind and govt should look into the suggestiion and for God'sake stop patronising such people and organisation.

Jamia hijackedBy: Anshul Gupta | Wednesday , 1 Oct '08 10:02:47 AM Reply | Forward A sensible voice and supports his arguments with facts. How many muslims like Mr Khan are there aginst those bleeding heart secularsits?

Look who hijacked JamiaBy: Madhu | Wednesday , 1 Oct '08 9:50:29 AM Reply | Forward The writer is very humble and straight forward Muslim personality. However, such people are shunned by political party of every hues. He was in the forefront during Janata Dal regime but so called progressive, forward

Look who hijacked JamiaBy: R. Vasudevan | Wednesday , 1 Oct '08 9:38:08 AM Reply | Forward A superb well analysed article. Whether it is Muslims, or Hindus, politics has been the main reason for the growth of terrorism in this country.

Look who hijacked JamiaBy: Balakrishna S.Pai | Wednesday , 1 Oct '08 9:35:43 AM Reply | Forward Though I do not agree with Mr. Arif Mohammad Khans views generally, this time he has hit the nail on the head. The reason why terrororism is gaining ground among the muslims in the country is because the organisations which encourage fundamentalism and anti India rhetoric and separatism among muslims is encouraged by the congress and the govt. The common muslim has come to think that he is not an Indian anymore but only a muslim and his identity is only as a muslim and this country owes nothing to him or that he owes nothing to the country. The govt. policies and the congress is responsible for it. Unless these fundamentalist organisations and their backers are shown their place it may be difficult to root out terrorism from the country.

Right words at Right TimeBy: MANINDER SINGH | Wednesday , 1 Oct '08 9:01:12 AM Reply | Forward Hats off to Arif Mohd Khan-Don't let water cross your head.Muslim intelegensia should distant itself from these fanatic forces and come forward with courage to spread true message amoung disgruntled muslim youth.If these Extremist forces will dominate so the noble,educated section of muslims will be the biggest sufferer of the retaliation by the worst ,irrational Sagh pariwar elements.WISH ALL SENSIBLE MUSLIMS TO RAISE THEIR CUDGELS.
