Much has been said and done post 9/11 and world has so far seen different versions of terrorism. Even after years of action and “invasion”, the so-called fight against terrorism has reached nowhere. Invasion of Afghan and Iraq has not solved anything – rather complicated things further. There has been not even a single day without bomb blast and loss of life in this place. Just wonder, if Saddam was charged of butchery, what should be Bush and Blair charged against!
Gone are those days when terrorist were illiterate who could have been easily misguided in the name of religion. The latest attack on Glasgow airport shows how much it has spread to even the top layer of the society. The attackers were engineers and doctors and we can expect more surprises in future too. I just cannot stop wondering what would have made these educated men who obviously had a family had to commit such a gruesome act of insanity. Such is the impact of religious fanatics in Muslim world these days that one can just wonder if there is an end to this.
The word Jihad has lost its meaning and I do not see any effort from any top Muslim clerics to stand up and teach what it truly is. From what I understand, Islam is peaceful and Jihad is merely the inner struggle for an individual between good and evil. The path of discipline in ones life to overcome sin and temptation and become a better person is how it is explained. However, these days, the meaning of Jihad seems to be different depending on what it is used for. How can you best explain the incident at Lal – masjid in Pakistan – A place meant to be used for worshiping God used as a training camp of terrorists?. It is too late for Muslim community to sit back and think where it has all gone wrong. Terrorism has placed its cancer seeds in millions of peoples mind and I can see it getting only worse.
As the world tries frantically to secure the community or country they belong to, mistakes happen more frequently and even innocents are victimized. Australia could never place their pride in jeopardy by confessing their mistake of arresting an innocent doctor just because he was a relative of a terror suspect. The whole episode was goofed up and the highly sophisticated, well-mannered and trained Australian police who, even tried to set up evidence to cover their defamed face. For me its not a surprise that the Australian prime minister has dismissed the theory of apologizing to the Indian Doctor J If western ego wasn’t so high Bush would’ve confessed about his greed to invade Iraq and would’ve apologized to the whole world long time back.
It brings one more point to my frame of thoughts that India – my country, being branded as a country of poor and billionaires, despite being attacked many a time by both the neighbors and insiders still manage to hold on and thrives to emerge as a super power. It has been decades since the insurgency and the attack on Kashmir have begun and so far, I could say our beloved Jawan’s has played their part to the perfection. Jai Jawan!!!
