Dear all,
I had got back from my business trip from Europe on the Saturday that was marked by the blasts. I was so excited to be back in my home, my country, with my people, then on the fateful evening the blasts rocked the city and I believe it did more then that, it rocked our faith. Every time we make a casual outing, it is always an underlying thought in our minds, it is inescapable.
I dont think it is the phisical damage by the bombs is what the terrorists aim to achieve only, it is this feeling of ever present fear is what they aim at to create.
They say there is no religion of terror, but then why are only the Muslim community the reason behind it or why is it now even safe to assume that it has to be some Islamic extremists. No matter how much we try to escape the fact, I think these acts of terror are only deepening the prevailing scene of resentment against the Muslims. I think it is slowly dividing us even more.
We can have peace marches, gatherings, slogans against blasts and so on, but how do we escape from this slowly creeping virus/terror that is the real effect of "acts of terror"
I am quite concerned about this issue and hope to read some interesting inputs and thoughts.
Thank you
