Islam,Terrorism and Jihad *Islamic Fundamentalism: The virulent Wahhabi virus <http://www.newageislam.com/NewAgeIslamArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=1319>*
Muhammad’s merciful and beneficent Allah was clearly not the god of Wahhab. Wahhabism does not have majority support in Pakistan. But because Wahhabis give all Muslims a bad name, Muslims need to make the fanatics understand that Wahhabis are not heroes but heretics against the words of Muhammad. Indian Muslims were too intimidated by Wahhabism to speak out fearlessly against this creed. It is time they did. -- *Murad Ali Baig* More...<http://www.newageislam.com/NewAgeIslamArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=1319> Islam and Politics *India: Should Muslims elect Muslims? <http://www.newageislam.com/NewAgeIslamArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=1310>* *Is Exclusivist, Separatist politics the answer?* With their focussed, bloc voting, and significant presence in over a hundred parliamentary constituencies, Muslims have emerged as probably the most influential vote-bank for so-called secular parties. Every secular party would appear to be vying for their vote. But some Muslims would rather fritter away the opportunity it gives them, as they feel they are not able to convert this influence to advantage in terms of better representation in legislatures or government jobs, etc. Hence the demand as *N Jamal Ansari *makes in the following article that Muslims elect Muslims. This alone, he says, will ensure Muslim political empowerment. The question is: Would it really do so, or would it prove a recipe for further Muslim disempowerment? Muslims must debate. Is exclusivist, separatist politics the answer? Are we Muslims in as dreadful a situation as some of us keep complaining? Is the politics of grievance-mongering all the politics we can play? Is promoting victimhood among Muslims all that our intellectuals can do? Should we occasionally express gratitude too for all the advantages we have, before demanding or in fact working towards betterment for ourselves and our country? – *Editor* 6 Comments More..<http://www.newageislam.com/NewAgeIslamArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=1310> Islam,Terrorism and Jihad *Sunday, Apr 12 2009* Now a shocking video of Taliban butchering a Pakistani soldier surfaces <http://www.newageislam.com/NewAgeIslamArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=1318> *Pakistani women protest religious extremism, American imperialism* ** 4 Comments More..<http://www.newageislam.com/NewAgeIslamArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=1318> -- Syed M.
