Pragmatically speaking religion provides us with a basic pillar of support that we need...i mean the average human feels more secure if he/she can assign divine causes to events or actions beyond comprehension...<BR/>Perhaps the need of the hour is to redefine spirituality and religion, to make it a path of the individual rather than that of the masses....maybe then this constant reference to these monstrous jehadis as Islamic Extremists will end...<BR/>Drop in a line if i can contribute Sir...Gaurav MukherjeeUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15080367352671526087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30753038.post-74558221997775576842008-12-27T14:05:00.000+05:302008-12-27T14:05:00.000+05:30It's strange how so many people cant see the simpl...It's strange how so many people cant see the simplest answer to solve the root of the problem - STOP MEDDLING - stop fucking with muslims business and they won't repay the favor.<BR/><BR/>Wasted effort - the idea you propose on educating muslims - they aren't dumb. But if you go and blow shit up and take away someone's freedom there is bound to be slashback. Religion is just a tool used for revenge.<BR/><BR/>Take Gandhi's / Jesus' approach - PEACE.

Why would someone go to the lengths of killing hundreds of people? Why would they be a part of a suicidal clan? Why INDIA? What's the real motive, it can't be just killing people even if it is then why is it so? <BR/><BR/>There are a huuge number of questions, so either we need to find out the answers and methodically resolve them or there's always a brute force way of doing it. No Amount of protests, no communities, no security measures are gonna do any good. Its either pure force or a methodical analysis and resolution of the problem.Infinityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05867232016411309305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30753038.post-58610878034586312002008-12-11T14:50:00.000+05:302008-12-11T14:50:00.000+05:30InInZareenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10407026541971488106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30753038.post-13643234913398596062008-12-11T11:54:00.000+05:302008-12-11T11:54:00.000+05:30Yaaay, Pratik.
