Muslim? God help you!

Read a very hard-hitting piece here and then.. was compelled to write a few things in continuation..
Wanted to say all thats on the ablove link on this blog that talks about the injustice done to Islam.. however, being a Muslim myself, it becomes difficult for me to be as convincing in broader terms. Unfortunately.. the media has played a big role in bringing things to the stand point at which they are.. and we're thus nomore in a position to really complain about what's going on. Sanjay's sentence was an outcome of trial by press.. there was way too much attention given to the case for Kode to be partial. As for the blasts... it is sad that people - and I mean everyone of us - have stopped thinking about the Babri Masjid demolition that lead to the fury that came out in the 93 blasts.. we have stopped thinking that while many Hindu's were celebrating the Ayodhya ji victory, many Muslims were crying of the pain they received when Babri Masjid was turned into a playground for selfish pursuits of individual goals by politicians, who were huddled into the security of their guarded homes while numerous lives were butchered because of their fanaticism... god help this country which refuses to wake up even after years of political exploitation. I am in no way trying to justify what happened in Mumbai on that black Friday. However, I do demand an explanation for the injustice meted out to people on the basis of their community.

It's disturbing for me as an individual that many Muslims are helplessly caught up in circumstances that they have nothing to do with. To say they are being implicated in petty crimes and killed and branded terrorists, would be an understatement.

I am enraged at the way verdicts have been genralised for Muslims over the world. People refuse to board flights (true incident) if they see someone with a beard sitting in the cabin; Muslim passengers are detained without evidence and put through mental trauma, being a Muslim, it becomes embarassing to answer questions like - So, does Islam really emphasise on all people to be accept the faith or be killed? What does jihad really mean? Oh God.. please... I have been tormented of those questions, those quizzing glances and grimaces - and I am sure a lot of other Muslims are too...

I now need an answer to these... are those pseudo-jehadis listening????? You come out in the open and you better have answers to these questions.. with something to corroborate what you believe in.. because the Islam that I have followed all my life DOES NOT show me the path you are on.. it DOES NOT give any human being the liberty to kill another one.. it DOES NOT believe in intolerance... and it DOES NOT teach terrorism...

Why?? then why have you - you fanatics - mutilated Islam to such an extent that innocent people are paying for your sick outlook towards faith... why are you making us suffer for your passion for killing... WHY WHY WHY????????
You ****** brainless people.. you have done this to us.. how can we ever blame anyone for the injustice meted out to Muslims all over the world when we know that the fabric of Islam has been left in shreds because of YOU.. you silly ignorant fools who have the audacity to call themselves Muslims... you put the real ones to shame.
