There is a saying in
Konkani which says, KELEM TUKAM PUN ZALEM MHAKAM”. This was what has happened to Pakistan
resulting in the killing at Peshawar over one hundred fifty school children by
the Muslim terrorist group Taliban.
Let me first condemn
the brutal killing of innocent school children by the heartless Muslim
terrorists under the umbrella of Taliban.
Though they are Muslims yet their act is unislamic because such
BARBARIC unislamic acts are forbidden in Islam. These terrorists acted like Zionits, in
fact Zionists are far better but not these Talibans. It creates a very bad image of the Islam that
these terrorists are projecting thus giving a bad opinion of Islam which
otherwise is a good religion.
Islam is a great
religion but its greatness is damaged by the Muslim terrorists and their
organizations. It is the same Pakistan
that supported, promoted and pampered all the segments of terrorists to fight
against India since a long time now without realizing that the same terrorists one
day will act against the Pakistani government and Pakistani society.
In mid sixties it was
the Muslim Arabs initiated support and base to the Palestinian Arab terrorists to
carry out with terrorism thru Aircraft hijacking and bombing of Israeli and
Western interests. Finally the same
Muslim Arab terrorists turned their guns towards their own benefactors. For example, when Iraq invaded Kuwait in
1990, PLO and overwhelming majority of Palestinians residing in Kuwait turned against
Kuwait and embraced the invading Iraqis even by collaborating with Iraqis
inspite of receiving so much of help for their movement and survival from
Kuwait.
Coming back to Pakistan
and terrorism there, Pakistan must open and broaden the doors of education to
all the segments of Pakistani society very forcefully. Terrorist organizations like Muslim Taliban
is against the female education but they forget the fact that Islam gives
highest priority to education when it says “To acquire education one must go
even to China”. The Peshawar killing of innocent school children is just
against the doctrine of Islam. The
sensible Muslims and Islamic scholars must raise their voices in unison against
all the Muslim terrorist organizations that promote unislamic ideology in the
name of Islam. Islam is a good, compassionate and peaceful religion but its
image is soiled in the eyes of non-Muslims by the Muslim terrorists only. The enemy of Islam is within its own fold.
