Christina 123, I think it will stop when people will make rulers of their respective states realize that killing innocent people and depriving some sections of any society of their rights breeds militancy and terrorism.

Sanjay Jha, who has said that Indian mujahideen is organisation of Muslims. Use of word 'Muslims' looks me intriguing. Can you explain?
at 19:34 on September 13th, 2008
Hi Hussain, Indian Mujahideen has claimed responsibility of couple of more blasts earlier and Indian government have evidence to link them with banned The Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). The Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), as per the government of India, is an Islamist fundamentalist organization, which advocates the ‘liberation of India’ by converting it to an Islamic land. The SIMI, an organisation of young extremist students has declared Jihad against India, the aim of which is to establish Dar-ul-Islam (land of Islam) by either forcefully converting everyone to Islam or by violence.

This is the work of BJP and RSS. It is easy to create an awful act such as this and blame it on others and add fuel to the fire for their own gains. We should not forget the Gujurat incident. BJP and RSS played on religious feelings and got so many killed. It is too late now that investigations have shown the fire in the train was started via a stove used in the train for cooking. So how did the whole incident spiraled out of hand? Its due to allegations. How many times such same tricks have been used?
No group ever came on TV or publicly claimed such horrific acts, only claims by the police. How did they get that information? An anonymous call? Anyone can make that and claim to be someone you hate. Its very easy for the police. Its evidence by the big bellies most Indian police are know for. For GOD's sake women get raped in Indian police stations. Ofcos we can't blame all the Police but all the good ones have no power as they are demoted and transfered to remote country sides. Only thoes who play by the polition's game get to power. This is evident of so much corruption all over india.
No one will do horrofic acts and claim to do it due to their faith, the very thing which "they" claim to represend and protect. It just does not make sense. Its as silly has one saying I killied my family so to protect them from being killed by others. Hope people in India do not fall over and over again for such silly alligations and get hot headed from propagandas and loose their heads and go out in a killing rampage again to no body's gain.Think people think. Use your brains for once. BJP is active again to get into power looking at the recent events. Now they are planing to get into power once again via the only way they know and the only way people are ever gonna take them to power. Who will in their right mind put fanatics in power when there is no bombings and other eveil acts happening and blinding their right mind of state? Just take Bush for example and where he has brought America and the world to now? How the world and americans them self hate him and want him out of power. We have seen and realised how he and his officials lied again and again and gained world openions and got so many killed. How many times have we seen their version of the story change in the light of world media?
How is it that BJP officials were proven to have taken part and planed the evil acts which happened in Gujurat and they are still out happily? The police are in their pockets. So act responsibly and question your self without beliving everything you see on the media. Use your intelligence.
