In the holy month of Ramadhan, when Muslims consciously occupy themselves tothank Allah for all He has given, some Muslims, in the name of the very sameAllah, claim to have killed and maimed innocents. In utter disregard to Islamicconvention which prohibits even hurting others during this month, the so-calledIndian Mujahideen showed no remorse in spilling blood on the streets of Delhi.This murderous bunch, through its mindless acts of terrorism, wants to give abad name to Islam and makes Muslims hang their heads in shame.
Unknown to Muslims, it claims to act on their behalf to avenge the pogrom in inGujarat directed against Muslims and the many discriminations which it allegesMuslims face in this country. That Gujarat and incidents like it are blot on thepractice of Indian secularism is undeniable. But what is also undeniable is thatit caused a lot of pain to Indians of all denominations, not just Muslims.Limited in its understanding of the secular legacy of Indian people, theself-appointed Indian Mujahideen wants to convert Gujarat into specifically aMuslim issue. What happened in 20002 in Godhra and the rest of Gujaratthereafter was a shame and still remains a cause of serious concern for theentire nation, not for Muslims alone. In fact Muslim groups and its so calledleadership are not the ones who are at the forefront to demand justice forvictims of Gujarat riots. They are too busy with their third class agendas suchas protecting the outmoded Muslim Personal Law and unethically demandingreservation for all Muslims.
