Today I wanted to express my thankfulnes to the Almighty for what He has provided us with but instead I must comment on what is tearing my heart.
For more than three decades now we have been searched and humiliated when boarding a plane. It all started with "hijacking" of the first plane to demand this or that. There have been terrorists attacks on tall buildings, hotels, railway stations, buses, mosques (while praying) and other variety of institutions all over the world since then. Some were just acts of 'revengeful retaliation' and some were associated with demands. The history of demands has not been favorable (Success in getting the demands fulfilled) , yet we continue seeing these acts of terrorism with a variety of demands.
As of this time we are not sure what the demands of the Mumbai terrorists are.
It seems unlikely these young men who have been brainwashed to eliminate the fear of death from them are likely to be successful in anything except perhaps worsening the India-Pakistan relations or worse still, instigate retaliatory attacks on innocent Muslims in Gujrat state or other areas of India where Hindu extremists will be inflamed (May God forbid that)
Neither the proponents of "War on terror" have had much success in frightening the extremists, not the extremists have had any success in getting anything except worldwide condemnation and yet the folly is perpetuated for political and other gains all over the world.
I am in tune with remarks of Deepak (Interview with Larry King Live last night) Chopra.
We indeed need to get globally united for stopping these inhuman acts, no matter who supports them. It is clear by now to all that Osama Bin Laden died some years ago, yet the Afghanistan suffered and Iraq suffered. So what we killed Zarqawi, did that strike a blow to 'terrorists' or made them more proud and firm in their resolve?
I am just an ordinary American Muslim and unable to do anything more than just let my frustration out in these words. Frustration against Muslims as much as against the leaders of my country (USA).
God help us.

Events and conspiracy is not as simple as put forward by media reflexly. It seems like a much bigger game.
I dont know when and how we can get the correct picture. I cannot trust media or other sources at all. Even BBC (which was considered the most truthful medium)has been infected with "coloring" the pictures. It appears that once blatant white lies were perpetrated by big chiefs like Bush, it became fashionable to tell lies all over the world. the tendency has not changed yet.
