Petty PoliticsBy: Yatin | Tuesday , 7 Oct '08 16:12:15 PM Reply | Forward Politics is breeding ground for all the terror outfits operating in INDIA. We as a nation are not fit for democracy. We need dictatorship or atleast operate as CHINA for us to succeed in the long run. Every minister of our has a different opinion on who is associated with terror and how to deal with it. Shame on us that we cannot be united against people who are killing our brothers and sisters. We are waiting for someone from our family to die before we can be part of war on terror........Why do terrorists never kill politicians........is it because they are their staff members?

Result of propangandaBy: Manish | Tuesday , 7 Oct '08 15:22:47 PM Reply | Forward After 2002 Gujarat riots, our so called secular media initiated a single point tirade against BJP and Narendra Modi. Every dirty trick was used to malign them. Muslim community was portrayed as the only victim of the riots. State of Gujarat was charged, without any shred of proof, that it was in complicity with the rioters. Rims and rims of paper was doled out with this narrative. All this probably instilled sense of victimhood in these young minds. And, the results are here. I am sure this is just the tip of the iceberg, if one were to scratch further one would find deep resentment/sense of victimhood among younger muslims. Now, who created these terrorists? Offcourse our so called liberal/secular media by its irresponsible and biased reporting, editorials, and opeds. What ISI could not do in the last fifty years, our great media accomplished in less then six years.

PropagandaBy: Yatin | Tuesday , 7 Oct '08 16:03:26 PM Reply | Forward Yes, i concur, news selling gimmicks and irresposible media has done much damage to our society and to india as a nation then so called Pakistani Jihadi's could ever do. Petty politics is doing harming us more than these terror outfits, coz politics is breeding ground for all extremism in INDIA.

Implode extremismExtermism has to be fought from within.By: Shivraj Gokhale | Tuesday , 7 Oct '08 14:40:51 PM Reply | Forward All of us who live in modern and secular India have to take resolve to fight extremism of all kinds ploitical ,regional or religious. Each one fights extremism in his own religion , in his own political outfit or in his own community ,state or region. Extremism has to be fought by each individual from inside . That is what all of us can do to implode extremism.

CHANGING PHASE - NOT HEALTHY SIGNBy: nufrendzs | Tuesday , 7 Oct '08 14:39:25 PM Reply | Forward it use to be foreign mercineries fighting in Kashmir , then kashmiris adopting gun culture , then uneducated muslim youth were projected as involved in terror acts and an altogether NEW PHASE -- even educated

Something worth thinking By: shoaib zaman | Tuesday , 7 Oct '08 14:06:26 PM Reply | Forward I have certain points like why these educated and young people got involved, what was the reason for the push to such extreme measure? Two the officers investigating the cases, how many are of the stature of Kiran Bedi, Bhatti? (very objective and clean background; one that wont change reports on pressures and bigness) If these people are truly responsible then they should be judged on Islamic laws in which there is death penalty for killing innocent but if its framed then it should be addressed seriously. Also what should be addressed is why suddenly so many educated, affluent people are getting disaffected.

Baised MediaBy: M. A. Nadwi | Tuesday , 7 Oct '08 13:10:03 PM Reply | Forward Stop spoiling Muslim comunity, stop this kind of hatred, the day Indian intelligence will be honest they shall find the real terrorist behind all theses acts, why have you not publishesh the news of Israeli Inteligence agency behind the blast of Amercan Embassy in Yemen, I think the media should be honest to save this country, otherwise the history shall recognize them as the treators, blaming innocent and saving real culprits, like Mosad working with RSS to disturb Muslims in India, if you don't beleive it, then wait one it will be clear for all. Just don't take police desprate arrest as judgement. don't play dirty game. you can't drive 20 Kror Muslims out of this country.

the real culpritsBy: Indian | Tuesday , 7 Oct '08 15:29:38 PM Reply | Forward To M.A.Nadwi,...everybody knows the vast majority of the Indian Muslims community is not responsible for the terror attacks,however the fact remains that there is a small section of the community who might be involved.India has at least 150 million Muslims of these even if .01 per cent of them are influence by radical views that still makes about 15,000 hard core cadres to take care of.Do you mean to say all of them are innocent,in that case how come your co-religionists have problems in every nation ranging from Burma,Thailand,Phillipines,to Europe and the Americas? It is your ideology of 'us' versus 'them'that may be to blame.Look into your hearts first.....impartially!

BJP's creationBy: edvis | Tuesday , 7 Oct '08 12:17:41 PM Reply | Forward If U call these people Terrorist then BJP led groups such as Bajrag dal, VHP are terrorist too. I'm against violence but these are a creation of person like Modi. I know BJP gov. use to say Pakistan is creater of Taliban, I too agree on some extent. But Indian terrorist created by those HIndus who do violence such as Bajrag dal and BJp. In India more terrorist are Hindus then muslim, the situation makes them . Take example of Aaj Tak chanel or Star News, Pakka Hindutva chanel .

Terrorists are Terrorists onlyBy: KVSKumar | Tuesday , 7 Oct '08 14:01:46 PM Reply | Forward Dear Friend, the SCs, STs and OBCs are suppressed, subjugated and exploited from all angles (both economic and social) by the Hindu orthodoxy for generations.....still continuing. The BJP, BD or RSS has done nothing to eradicat the social backwardness of their own brpthren in the Hindu fold. It is also worth mentioning that these SCs, STs and OBCs never exploded a bomb in public or killed innocent people to avenge the exploitation they faced for generations. Now ask to yourself why these youngsters are resorting to terrorism under the garb of their community being at the lower end of progress? Is it the problem of their tenets or that of their being irrational? Even the naxals and maoists do not kill innocent people in this manner.

Punish themBy: chanakya | Tuesday , 7 Oct '08 10:39:50 AM Reply | Forward This shows terror instinct has nothing to do with the social position of the people. Fanatics can exist in starta of society and unfortunately instead of hadovering them to leagl authorities we try to support them. Even now parents are not ready to accept the guilt of their children and idiotic political leaders continue to take hawkish positions to malign sincere police officers. Unless people involvedare punished severlt there will be no end to this madness. Specially those who want to defend them must understand the price others will have to pay for that. Some body's religion affection or some body's familiarity should not become judging factors for these cruel mentalities. These suspects if proved must be punished in public so that others will refrain from doing these acts. Every body forgets the grief suffered by blast victims and hang on to bandwagon social jusitice with an eye on elections, name and prosperity. Rediculous.

true liesBy: prakash joshi | Tuesday , 7 Oct '08 10:30:47 AM Reply | Forward I think we should wait for few more days so that the police can create another master mind

My Country - where are you goingBy: Ajaz | Tuesday , 7 Oct '08 10:15:08 AM Reply | Forward I have rarely seen that the so many arrested people has been ever proven guilty in the court.On the other hand, it displays a wrong image of a community. Still, i wonder, how the american citizen the first terror suspect of terror email got a clean chit. May be president bush recommended for his release.

Wake up !!By: SD | Tuesday , 7 Oct '08 13:33:30 PM Reply | Forward All you who doubts the encounter and 'why only muslims are being suspected for terror attacks ?' should ask this Q to Osama Laden. Hindus/Christians didn't do it swearing the name of 'Allah'. It is Muslims youths who did so. ANd educated professional Muslims at that.The reaction of the many muslims to the terror attackes in India replicates the response of the Muslim world to 9/11 attacks - It is the conspiracy of AMerica and Isreal !! Nothing could be more laughable than this. And the world thinks so !!Instead of blaming the media muslims should find out the zealots in the madrassas and hang those fanatics who swear 'jihad' in the name of allah ! Nothing less than that is going to redeem them !
