Failure to follow the tenets of religion--any religion. Failure to see the big picture. In these acts of terror they feel that they taste success. <BR/><BR/>Failure to define failure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16244874.post-1154582330395844602006-08-02T22:18:00.000-07:002006-08-02T22:18:00.000-07:00MG,Exactly muy point of View.

But why can't they launch an offensive against these conspiracies taking place in their own background? Unusual visits by foriegners, unusual activities in the neighbourhood, a vigilant man could sense danger just by keeping tabs of his more reclusive neighbours.<BR/>Why don't they just make sure that teaching in the Madrasa is strictly about Koran and not incitation? Why don't they just make sure their son/brother/cousine don't go astray and get into the trap of Jihadis?<BR/>I am planning the second installment of this. Keep watching this space..<BR/>Thx for commenting1<BR/>Amit,<BR/>You are true about the failed individual turning to terrorism. But the recent pattern where an Engineer, drawing a salary of 40K per month turning to terrorism breaks all the mould. And a doctor, well off guys , executives all are trapped by the jihadis. There is no typical face for this terror. Those perpetrators could be anyone.Shinu Mathewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16221292281555891671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16244874.post-1154578025002679122006-08-02T21:07:00.000-07:002006-08-02T21:07:00.000-07:00If I were asked to summarize, I would just like to...If I were asked to summarize, I would just like to say that Terrorists and all those so called "freedom fighters" are blasting trains, planes, buildings causing death to innocent civilians. These civilians belong to all religions, race, region. <BR/><BR/> What I mean to say is that if innocent civilians are getting the brunt, who do these bastards stand for? And if they stand for no one, No one should stand for them. As simple as it is. <BR/><BR/> And I liked this editorial. Good point made.<BR/>http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,19999522-7583,00.html<BR/><BR/>and also check this link <BR/>http://www.dawn.com/2006/08/03/letted.htm<BR/><BR/>to see how people blindly support hezbollah. There is not a single word on returning the kidnapped soldiers or to denounce hezbollah.Mumbai Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02690434871739403687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16244874.post-1154538319987671182006-08-02T10:05:00.000-07:002006-08-02T10:05:00.000-07:00Mujahideen (مجاهدين) is a plural form of mujahid (...Mujahideen (مجاهدين) is a plural form of mujahid (مجاهد), which literally translates from Arabic as "struggler", someone who engages in jihad, or "struggle", but is often translated as "holy warrior."<BR/><BR/>A terrorist is indeed a struggler. He is a man who has failed in his duty as a son, brother, father, or husband. He struggles with the harsh realities of life. When the fruitless struggle seems endless, he goes berserk. He looks for an outlet for his failure. He ceases to be Moslem, once he dons the mantle of Jihad. A euphemism for terrorist.<BR/><BR/>Islam prohibits everything that these jihadis indulge in. These souls believe in a religion of their own making. They seem to inhabit a parallel universe. They cease to be human. A euphemism for satan.<BR/><BR/>They fiercely believe that they are foot soldiers in a holy war. A holy war to fulfil the unholy machinations of a few deranged minds. A holy war that will make them martyrs. That will make them immortal. A euphemism for a slow, painful death.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16244874.post-1154517948025751802006-08-02T04:25:00.000-07:002006-08-02T04:25:00.000-07:00Big topic with simple answer. Muslims and everyone...Big topic with simple answer. Muslims and everyone else should renounce violence, whatever may be the cause. True there are moderate muslims but I fail to understand why they do not speak up.<BR/><BR/>This whole mid-east conflict was started by kidnapping of two soldiers. Look where everyone stands now. It was well known Israel would react so why did they kidnap in first place especially since they saw Israelis leveling Gaza during same time for same crime Palestinian militants comitted. <BR/><BR/>Some say that Israel is not justified in using this big a force for two civilians. My point is today they kidnap two, tomorrow maybe more. Because hezbollah is an organization which manifests itself for such violent cause. <BR/><BR/>Look at Pak, they keep telling lies about how they do not support terrorism. Do you think they will stop those camps if we give them kashmir? <BR/><BR/>Everywhere I see, terrorists blowing up planes, buildings, trains. Who gets killed? Innocent people. Worse is there are people then saying maybe the terrorist had a cause? They kind of justifies the terrorist action like they are doing now. By killing innocent people?<BR/><BR/>Latest incident was Pakistani man killing 1 and injuring few seriously in US saying he was upset with Israel. What if someone else who was affected by 911 or 711 says they hate all muslims because Osama was a muslim? <BR/><BR/>Violence should never be encouraged, never justified and never supported. Be it any religion or country or cause. Because only innocent suffer.Mumbai Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02690434871739403687noreply@blogger.com
