Are all terrorists really Muslims?By Aakar Patel

[oFFbEAT]

I really enjoy how these wanna-be seculars/liberals try to be relevant, just say something ridiculous about any controversial/sensitive subject and there you go, everyone is talking about you..........and the funniest part is the way they try to justify their illogic with more illogic, deception and blatant lies which become the points of controversy.....and they enjoy the limelight.

Firstly, people throughout the world know that all terrorists cannot be Muslims, it cannot be logical, there are 7.125 billion(and counting) people in the world with each having their own problem(yes! even the babies, if they could, they would conduct terrorists attacks on their parents for not changing their diapers in time and forcing them to eat ).
BUT the fact is, MOST terrorists in the world are Muslims and they don't leave any doubt about what they are killing for......

Secondly, he tries to deceive people into thinking that he is going to talk in a global perspective by giving a title like, "Are all terrorists really Muslims", BUT jumps right into Indian context right from the beginning..

Thirdly, his analysis is flawed because he thinks Maoists are only Hindus and he adds them to the list of Hindu terrorist/fundamentalist groups, BUT there are Muslim Maoists too.....
West Bengal Assessment 2014
Excerpt from the (above)article...
"...Compounding the pressure on the Maoists, the state arrested 21 cadres in 2013, adding to the 76 arrested in 2012, according to UMHA data. The most prominent among these included Sabyasachi Goswami aka Kishore, and Zakir Hussain, who were arrested from the Jadavpur area in Kolkata..."

If you call Hindu Maoists as Hindu terrorists then you have to call Muslim Maoists as Muslim terrorists.....
Now, If you separate the Muslim and Hindu Maoists and add them to their respective terrorist/fundamentalist group's strength, then, I don't think that the 'Hindu Maoist terrorists'(whatever that means) along with other Hindu fundamentalist groups would be in majority..........

Fourthly, the Maoists are terrorists ofcourse, they kill based on their ideology just like the Muslim terrorists do, BUT their ideology is practically opposite to that of the 'Hindutva' or for that matter, any other religious ideology, so, you cannot associate Maoists with any religious group and hence, cannot call them or count them as 'Hindu terrorists'....they can be called 'Communist terrorists' technically!

@Joe Shearer unfortunatle reality is that the terrorists who are muslims commit terrorism in name of Islam. Other terrorists commit terrorism in name of a political ideology or goal. For example Bodo militants commit terrorism to gain Bodoland.

Both are equally condemable. However Bodo terrorists cant be called as christian terrorists because they dont do it in name of christianity. ISIS is rightly labeled as Islamic terrorist because they are doing in name of Islam

that is why the statement is given that terrorists are muslims

One classical example was Yasser Arafat. In fact the Palestinian struggle was a socialist and non sectarian one till the late seventies to mid eighties. Arafat was considered a terrorist, and often rightly so. But he was NOT an Islamic terrorist, his actions were not done in the name of Islam, but for furthering Arab/Palestinian nationalist goals.

The situation is simple once the apologists keep their quiet and the propagandists retire, from both camps.

There is terrorism. And there is Islamic terrorism. And comparing Maoism related terror to that in the name of God and then equating it as Hindu terror is a strawman argument.

sir, maoist are not religious fanatics.... they are communist... they have shunned religion.... whereas Al Qaeda isis are terrorist based on religion... just like klu klux klan or abhinav bharat......

the Moist terrorists did not find foreign masters while AQ and IS were nurtured by foreigners using their religion as a weapon to utilize these groups.

their religion itself has nothing to do with their activities

 

[Dillinger]

If Aakar is dealing in terms of quantum of attacks and terrorist organisations, well in that case he is quite right to state that India has to deal with a larger number of "non-Muslim" terrorists. What he fails to comprehend, or perhaps deliberately refuses to state, is that in terms of intensity, potential to destabilize the state (although on this point the Maoists are neck to neck) and the propensity to target soft civilian HVTs the Islamic terrorists take the lead.

well why twist your apology when it comes to bombing Afghnaistan then you are ok with that but when yemni rebels are bombed at request of its president then it becomes a religious issue for you.

Terrorists dont have a religion, they are secular. Their apologists wear Secularism on their sleeves and liberals try to justify their actions.

So , I am terrorist.

Where did Afghanistan and Yemen come here from?

 

[Spring Onion]

They didn't chant "har har mahadev" with a copy of geeta in hands ,while suicide trainings and bombings..
They were politically motivated and not religiously..
Is that really hard to understand ?

those who razed Babri Mosque and killed Muslims in Gujrat did chant har har mahadeve so arent they Hindu terrorists?

Where did Afghanistan and Yemen come here from?

because your countryman brought Yamen into his debate and tried to link it with Islam and terrorism.

where as Yamen issue is political not religious

If you think the shoe fits.

They were not terrorists. They were undoing the work of Muslim terrorists. So they were like the coalition forces which attacks a place ruined by Islamic terrorism to restore it back to its old glory.

So , I am terrorist.

Was there ever any doubt?

Of course. We need men and women who will not be cowed down by terror. To the terrorists, counter terror is also terror. The majority of coward Hindu saints can't fight the devils, can they?

See - you can have your thing, do this, do that - it's upto you. But in India, our culture, our way of life, our self respect is non negotiable.

A structure built on top of our holiest of places - Not negotiable.
Burning a trainload of Hindu pilgrims in broad daylight - Not negotiable.

Actually, I am not bothered about what Christian terrorists do in Lebanon, or Shias do in Yemen or Sunnis do in ... well the rest of the world. Hell, I don't care much about Hindus in Bangladesh for example. I would be happy to settle in India, but otherwise I they are NOT my responsibility if they stay as Bangladeshis.

But try throwing acid on a Hanuman Jayanti procession in Jawad (Madhya Pradesh). - Yes this happened yesterday. Repercussions will be there.

Sir, please tell me why is it so easy to mould youth of a particular religion into terrorist activities by "foreigners"??? And the moulding or nurturing does occur at harvard/stanford..rather your own religious school by your own priests....

 

[utraash]

Its not worth debating however ppl can come up with their acumen of defending religious terrorism associated with only a particular religion.....
