Islam's emotions

I posted the below things in a CP forum which was mainly dominated by pro americans and anti Islamic sentimentalists and oh my god in the next day i surprised to see more than 200 comments to this badly structured post of mine.

Post goes like this...............

Even If you beat your mother there would be two opinions.Can we formulate certain rules and ask others to follow this.Definitely there would be protests.

In western world the term Islam has become like a synonym of terrorism.We can experience this in the western newsgroups,media and everywhere ,where people madly abusing Islam by calling them as killers .Though I am not one of them ,I should say muslims are the most stressed community nowadays.Their rituals,customs,way of life and everything have been a source for criticism by others.Mainly because, most of their practices might appear too much conservative to others. But the discipline of the Muslim lifestyle is unimaginable (I often wondered when my Muslim friends offer their unchallengeable daily prayers and fasts without even having drop of water during Ramsan period).

The silent agitation against Muslims got stronger after 9/11. And we can see many instances after that where the whole community being crucified on daily basis .We could have definitely seen that the campaigning against Islam terrorism getting converted against the whole Islam.Whether it is the murder of an innocent brazilian by London police or the mass visa denial by U.S for those who have muslim names. It's understandable how much this would have hurt the majority of Muslims.We can imagine the mental stress of a normal muslim who is being viewed as a strange creature by the so called do-gooders.Even sikhs have been harassed simply because they keep beard and turban.

We can not see the Mohammad cartoons as a separate issue, rather it could be seen as the continuation of that campaigning against Islam. This and only this provoked Islamists all over the world. And as like supplying petrol to fire many newspapers republished the cartoons aggressively saying the issue of freedom of speech.But the community would have been respected if the protests had been peaceful. Some people would quote the comparatively mild protests towards Davinci code by Christians. But we should not forget that there is no coordinated campaigning towards Christianity and this was an odd one. But be it Pardha, liberation of women, shariah ;Everything in Islam has become a subject to criticism. And when they criticize they are forgetting that all religions in the world have black histories and all of them had built up on mere faith rather than concrete proofs.

Being religious is not a bad thing but religion by denouncing other religions is certainly unjustifiable.Most of the religious people have become so due to the spoon feeding which they have got about the religion during their childhood days.Those symbols cannot be easily erased from the mind of a human being.Almost all the religions are just providing a path for self realization.The ignorant people trust their religious tutors like gods and get indulged in madness.This is not only applicable to the terrorist but also to all of us who keeps hatred towards other's religion.

What we need is a mind to accept others, even if they are opposing our attitudes.And we should not forget that even the poorest of poor has an individuality and right to hold their opinion.

Will he make it ?

Atlast that announcement came officaially.Shashi tharoor would be contested for the U.N secretary General's post as an official candidate of India.Though,criticism started flowing form many corners , it was like a dream that comes true for many people.To be frank,I was one among them.


The possibility of Mr.Sahshi Tharoor's being appointed as the next U.N secreatary general was foreseen by Malayala manorama nearly two years before in an article .Even before that, I had become an ardent fan of Mr.Tharoor .Mainly because of reading some news pieces about the brilliant personality .I used to follow his famous sunday column "The Shashi Tharoor Column" in "The Hindu",keeping the dictionary in one side.He was a non relinquished Indian (as opposed to the Non Resident Indian) according to him.It really made me wonder when he wrote about M.T Vasudevan Nair and Women in Kerala both convincingly and authentically with tremendous ease .Normally it is being said that Keralites will forget their roots so quickly.But shashi tharoor would be an exception,though he had not lived in Kerala for a long time.I have seen about this in one of his column where he refers about this due to the influence of his father, late Mr.Chandran Tharoor ,whose flat in mumbai was literally like a shed for his relatives who are all coming to Mumbai seeking their future.

Everybody knows that being such a great intellectual and such an experienced person in international affairs ,he is an apppropriate candidate for the post whom any nation can blindly support.Lets hope that he will make it .

Quote of the day

hatred as an element of struggle; unbending hatred for the enemy, which pushes a human being beyond his natural limitations, making him into an effective, violent, selective, and cold-blooded killing machine

" Message to the Tricontinental" -Che Guevara



Che Guevara was an Argentine-born physician, Marxist revolutionary, politician, and leader of Cuban and internationalist guerrillas. As a young man studying medicine, Guevara traveled "rough" throughout Latin America, bringing him into direct contact with the poverty in which many people lived. Through these experiences he became convinced that only revolution could remedy the region's economic inequality, leading him to study Marxism and become involved in Guatemala's social revolution under President Jacobo Arbenz Guzmán. Sometime later, Guevara became a member of Fidel Castro's paramilitary 26th of July Movement that seized power in Cuba in 1959. After serving in various important posts in the new government and writing a number of articles and books on the theory and practice of guerrilla warfare, Guevara left Cuba in 1965 with the intention of fomenting revolutions first in the Congo-Kinshasa and then in Bolivia, where he was captured in a CIA-organized military operation. Guevara died at the hands of the Bolivian Army in La Higuera near Vallegrande on October 9, 1967
