mumbai seige 2008 ..bg

Aryan Baker recently gave an article in TIME and it also came on cnn.com expressing the "pathetic state" of Indian Muslims. He kind of tried to express that these terrorists activities by Muslims can be justified....
I would like to critique what Mr Baker claimed. It is for everybody especially for those who are still learning about Indian society.
1. First of all, I guess India is the only big democracy where a particular community has different social laws. Yes, I am talking about Muslims. In India, Muslims follow a different code of conduct than people from other religions. What it means is that they can do Polygamy and multiple marriages and it is still legal. This was done to appease muslims because they refused to accept laws that everybody else followed. Where else does that happen?? In USA can you expect different laws for Hispanics or blacks or Jews or Muslims or Catholics???
2. The flash point between Hindus and Muslims as they say is Kashmir. Kashmir is the only province in India where any Indian from any other province CAN NOT buy any property. Mind you, Kashmiris can buy land at any place in India. This was done to appease muslims. But muslims were still not happy, so they kicked out 400,000 hindus out of kashmir in 1989-1990. Thousands of hindus were killed and innocent women were raped. But they were still not satisfied, so started their killing spree in other parts of the country, after hindus were nearly ethnically cleansed in Kashmir. This can be equated to ethnic cleaning of Red Indians or ethic cleansing of Aborigines in Australia.
3. Aryan Baker has argued that Muslims lack in education and jobs. But he totally forgot that most of the muslims in India are concentrated in UP, Bihar, Assam and West Bengal. And mind you these states are the poorest in India. So it is not just muslims, even the hindus in these provinces are very very poor. He forgot that Muslims in provinces like Rajsthan, Maharashtra, Tamilnadu and all are very prosperous.
4. And most importantly, he forgot that Islamic terrorism is not just in India, it is in Pakistan, Indonesia, China, Russia, Briton and USA.
So, are muslims ill treated every where in the globe????????
Why these experts do not admit that there are some muslim people who are trying to exploit the whole muslim religion for their own benefits??

here is a little excerpt from a larry king show: Deepak Chopra being interviewed by him..

this is all with the back drop of the mumbai massacre 27/11/08

its horrendous , outrageous, and the audacity is not tolerable.

t's an oxymoron, Larry, a war on war, a war on terrorism.

You know, terrorists call mechanized death from 35,000 feet above sea level with a press of a button also terror. We don't call it that, because our soldiers are wearing uniforms. They don't see what is happening, and innocent people are being killed. So, you know, terror is a term that you apply to the other.

King: Thanks, Deepak Chopra, as always, extraordinarily enlightening.

pacy feelings

blood pressures up, anxious, hands are sweating, yet feeling cold.

almost like im waiting to hear a result.

but only thing is im not.

i wonder why at times, my heart keeps beating so fast like its anticipating something, some form of excitement, some form of adventure, some sort of discovery.

yet its nothing but boredom there.

im thinking what it can be, i cant seem to understand...my dreams are becoming more adventurous, more daring, more colorful

yet when i open my eyes, everything is the same. The same pale yellow walls, the same mundane mondays, the same songs playing in the surrounding, the same office

what can it be?
