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
