A WAR ON???


Its heart wrenching to have to see the bloodied scenes on the JW Marriot and Ritz . Some people , of course having heard of the word Jihad so often , asked me , is this what you call Jihad??? Where is the Jihad if one runs amok in a retaurant and killing senselessly the father , who's daily preoccupation is struggling to put food on the table, mother who may be at work, but trust me, in her mind, she's driven only by urgency to manage the children's daily activities, the son who obviously are there only for some hours to ensure that he contribute to his school fees, being young and able body!
Who fought in Jihad here ? The father , the mother and the son who fought poverty with such tenacity ! These are the people ( the victims) who always takes resistance as a spur to action instead of avoidance. They discover the virtue of courage , having the courage to face life and redesign their lives ! Having the courage to confront life . Simply put, the opposites are cowards! Those who ever tried to claim Jihad will rationalise their irrational behaviour of course but I am sure that they do not blood on their conscience!
