They do stand up http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/18/opinion/18friedman.html?_r=1 There are those in the Muslim world ready and willing to stand up to terrorism. There are 9 terrorist bodies sitting in a morgue as proof of this. Who is standing up? The leadership of India's Muslim community. "People who committed this heinous crime cannot be called Muslim, Hanif Nalkhande, a spokesman for the trust, told The Times of London. Eventually, one assumes, they will have to be buried, but the Mumbai Muslims remain defiant. Indian Muslims are proud of being both Indian and Muslim, and the Mumbai terrorism was a war against both India and Islam, explained M.J. Akbar, the Indian-Muslim editor of Covert, an Indian investigative journal. Terrorism has no place in Islamic doctrine. The Koranic term for the killing of innocents is 'fasad.' Terrorists are fasadis, not jihadis. In a beautiful verse, the Koran says that the killing of an innocent is akin to slaying the whole community. Since the ... terrorists were neither Indian nor true Muslims, they had no right to an Islamic burial in an Indian Muslim cemetery." --- A few more challenges to the cults of martyrdom and jihad may well reduce the number of people being recruited for terrorist attacks. The feeling of support from the Muslim community has always been an important element in recruitment. Dalai Lama - Non-violence cannot tackle terrorism http://www.ndtv.com/convergence/ndtv/story.aspx?id=NEWEN20090080421 Even the Dalai Lama thinks that terrorism is a problem and has gone so far as to say that "terrorism cannot be tackled by applying the principle of ahimsa because the minds of terrorists are closed" --- "It is difficult to deal with terrorism through non-violence, the Tibetan spiritual leader said delivering the Madhavrao Scindia Memorial Lecture in Delhi. He termed terrorism as the worst kind of violence which is not carried by a few mad people but by those who are very brilliant and educated. They (terrorists) are very brilliant and educated...but a strong ill feeling is bred in them. Their minds are closed, the Dalai Lama said. He said the only way to tackle terrorism is through prevention..." --- Prevent people from becoming terrorists through education and the thread of excommunication from the greater Muslim community will reduce those with closed minds. Unfortunately, as the next article shows, there are those in the greater Muslim community, religious leaders, who feel that terrorism is the way. Global Anti-Aggression Campaign for Jihad http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7895485.stm "At a weekend meeting in Istanbul, 200 religious scholars and clerics met senior Hamas officials to plot a new jihad centered on Gaza...The conference, dubbed the Global Anti-Aggression Campaign..." Let me see if I get this straight. We have the leaders of Islam not looking for life or the growth of their people but instead are asking for their future to die. That's basically what they are saying. --- "Mohammed Nazzal, a senior Hamas leader based in Damascus, challenged Arab governments to open their borders and allow the fighters to come. Delegates from all over the Middle East, and from Somalia, Sudan, Pakistan and Indonesia applauded as he stabbed the air with a raised finger and declared: There will be no agreement with Israel... only weapons will bring respect." Mr Nazzal told his audience: Don't worry about casualties." --- This is the same thing that keeps the middle east at war. The famous three no's. No peace with Israel, No recognition of Israel, No negotiations with Israel Three No's in response would be: No future for their children other than hate and war, No advancement as they send the cream of their youth to death, No recognition as a religion of peace as long as they use the religion as an excuse for death. The Indian Muslim community recognizes this, why can't these so called scholars and clerics? Closed minds. The truth is out - No UN school shelled http://www.honestreporting.com/articles/45884734/critiques/new/Did_Israel_Shell_a_UN_School_The_Truth_Exposed.asp One of the biggest lies of Israel's recent conflict with Hamas was that Israel deliberately shelled a UN school, killing 43 civilians. Unfortunately for those who vocally supported the event, it was a lie. The shells did not hit the UN school or kill anyone inside. I wonder if/when the UN will apologize for their quick assumption of guilt. Investigations are still going on with one blog post I read saying that the actual death toll was 9, 3 of whom were civilians. Until I see an official post of this I'll have to stay with the 43 civilians, 43 people who should still be alive if not for Hamas using them as human shields. Yes, I blame Hamas. Israel pulled the trigger but Hamas aimed the gun.
