could or should have been a comment

i have tried to leave a msg with loneranger, but his 'leave comment' option seems to be disabled. by the way its great to see people outside my friends circle here. thanks to all of you!!!

getting to the point of loneranger: it is not and definitely not our religion, rather it is misinterpretation and ignorance about the religion. these create a misconception that helps the opinionleaders to utilise the religion in a manner which wud make them more powerful.

if something of this sort would have occured in the west, then it would have recieved so much exposure, that people, in the future, wud refrain themselves from such acts.

because the social atmosphere here is such, that these things usually dont leak out or get a chance to come into the limelight, they keep reoccuring, and people get the guts to do so, knowing that they can get away with it.

but i dont exactly blame it on the social atmosphere either. behind social atmosphere there lies economy, education, psychology, culture, values, norms, power politics....and a hell lot of things.

going back to religion: religion, i personally think promotes peace, brotherhood, respect, perseverance and things that we expect from a rational person. there is no place for such brutal behavior, either in Islam, or in any other religion.
Mr. Loneranger.....being a broadcast journalist, its your duty to spread truth and knowledge. i wonder how a person with such misconception is able to do such a responsible job!!!

maybe this shud have been in the comment section of the previous writing, but it was getting so huge, so i thought i wud create a new blog instead

some people so love to talk about things they are not even aware of ... and this does not surprise me when the person declares "Stern lectures for those who lack common sense. I don't have opinions, I have convictions." ... God! he is such an insensible schmuck ...

Bush and the Republicans were not protecting us on 9-11, and we aren't a lot safer now. We may be more afraid due to george bush, but are we safer? Being fearful does not necessarily make one safer. Fear can cause people to hide and cower. What do you think? Is killing thousands of innocent civilians okay when you are doing a little government makeover?
What happened to us, people? When did we become such lemmings?
We have lost friends and influenced no one. No wonder most of the world thinks we suck. Thanks to what george bush has done to our country during the past three years, we do!
