its sad but true...i dunno if they realise they are not helping anybody's cause by their actions.
its come to a state where these terrorists commit an offence and ordinary law-abiding muslims are EXPECTED to condemn those incidents in streets and in media, else they are looked upon with suspicion.
the normal muslims just cannot afford the luxury of ignoring these fanatics. either condemn them loudly or be target for suspicion coz they are silent and minding their own business. I dont see it happen with any other communities.
Apart from not helping they are doing a dis-service.
What the Muslims need to observe is that such groups are weaking and demoralising the Muslims in particular.
How ??
Scenario 1.
The ban on head scarves in france.
The Muslim girls continued wearing them, the only option left for the french govt was to expel or get these students arrested.
A group in Iraq abducts french journalist and call for the lifting of ban? (Absurd, who the heck gave you the right) Anyway.
Now there is a sense of National Pride in France and a resentment to these groups. The french (public) have a sense of feeling betrayed, after all they were the strongest opponents of the war in iraq and now the Iraqis are caputring French ??
That resent ment spills on in france, the affects ... the girls who were resilient now have to remove the head scarve to prove that they are
1. French
2. Are part of the main stream .
3. To protect themselves from any sort of backlash.
The abduction ahs done nothing but broken their resolve. And god forbid the journos are harmed. Even if the govt allows wearing scarves women will not be able to wear it cause.
1. Feeling of guilt (which sould not be there)
2. Fear of being attacked etc.
So these extremists are not a chance or a fanatic group of muslims, but I presume they are a well thought about policy/ strategy whose ultimate motive is to harm Islam and Muslims.
Now I understand when the relegious leaders used to warn, that "Wahabissm is a Cancer to Islam" and is worse then the greatest threat.
Sorry Asli was treading a fine line, not to include the secratarian conflicts in Islam while posting his replies. But I think it is Important.
The Mullah that you have quoted and his likes are a dangerous creed CAD. The day you see his kind spread in Hyd, none of us is safe.
Some incidents that left me Aghast.
A paki chatting to me,
Paki- Are you muslim.
DQ - Yes
Paki - Hmm do you read Namaz
DQ - Yes
Paki - ha, really. Never heard that. I heard that all Mosques have been razed to ground in India. And the Muslims pray in Temples. Hence we consider all Muslims in India too are Kafirs.
Well the chat after that turned into an elougy of abuses, but yes this is probably how the guys are brain washed there.
- Then there is this famous 'Mullah Omar of Afghanistan"
He promised each person who killed a Shia a garden in Heaven
And the only way to legitimise a Woman (apart from his school of thought) was Ra**.
If such thought and such Mullahs start infiltarting Hyd then yes we are not safe. That is why I suggest.
- Do not show indifference.
- If you hear any such absurdities being propogated, stand up to it.
- You do not need the police to raid these out, its the communities responsibility to flush such extremists out.
naah...it just means that they cant take it for granted that they will be saved by their political masters. Judiciary and Opposition are enuf to ensure them sleepless nights. which brings to mind my original post: even a minority friendly congress is backing the cops in the latest arrests. that does say something, doesnt it? everything a politician does is calculated to milk maximum benefits. how wud these arrests benefit the congress, esp when its in danger of losing their support over this issue...??? this is why i believe the Cops' version.
