Radical Islamism & Jihad
Ideological Battle is the Key: Support Mainstream Islam
The international fight against terrorism will be a long, hard slog. After
all, the problem and solution are linked: Terrorism not only threatens the
free, secular world, but also springs from the rejection of democratic and
secular values. Worse, terrorism is pursued as a sanctified tool of religion
and a path to redemption. Thus, the struggle against transnational terror
can be won only by inculcating a liberal, secular ethos in societies steeped
in religious and political bigotry….Washington's proposal to triple
non-military aid to Islamabad while keeping existing military aid flow
intact, other than to tie it to concrete Pakistani cooperation on the Afghan
front, will free Pakistan to continue its asymmetric war of terror against
India. -- Brahma Chellaney
Kashmir not the issue, Pak-Afghan border is
The Kashmir conflict is a very small part of this larger dynamic and with
two consecutive successful elections, the last one witnessing around 60 per
cent participation by Jammu and Kashmir's electorate, it is hardly the
reason why Mumbai was attacked or why the West is losing the war in
Afghanistan. To rationalise the terrorist attacks in Mumbai by linking them
to the Kashmir issue not only defies logic and is devoid of any serious
analysis but it is also profoundly irresponsible and dangerous. It ignores
Indian attempts over the past decade to acknowledge the aspirations of
Kashmiris with the liberal, democratic and secular framework of its
Constitution as well as bilateral attempts by India and Pakistan to reach
some sort of understanding on this vexed issue. -- Harsh V. Pant

Radical Islamism & Jihad
UK challenging Radical Islamism by promoting Mainstream Islam
UK's four- pronged approach to de-radicalise its Muslim minority holds
important lessons for the Indian effort to counter extremism at home.
Recently, I had the opportunity to study aspects of the first strand of the
Four P's strategy — preventing the emergence of violent radicalism on the
part of the Muslim youth in the UK. The plan addresses disadvantage,
mis-perception, and alienation by putting money into a number of projects
addressing inequality and discrimination. Targeted schemes have sought to
improve the educational and physical infrastructure of the ghettoes, and
even more boldly, to directly challenge radical theology by promoting
moderate Islam as well as inter-faith dialogue. The approach has been to
knit together various ministries, local governments, civil society,
community institutions like mosques, gurudwaras and temples to attack the
problem. -- Manoj Joshi

Islam and the West
Radical vs. Mainstream Islam: some reflections
'Anti-terrorism policy review, dialogue key to West-Muslims ties'
ISLAMABAD: Most of the foreign envoys based in Islamabad on Tuesday urged a
review of the war on terror policies, dialogue with extremists and better
relations between the Muslim and the West.
Speaking at a conference - Islam and the West: Future Agenda of Change (Role
of the Muslim World) - organised by the Council of Islamic Ideology (CII),
the envoys also called on the world to change its perception towards Islam
and replace 'might is right' principle with 'right is might'. The conference
was convened to consider recommendations for US President Barack Obama to
improve the West-Muslim relations.
