I have been reading about propaganda tools, and recruitment procedure by LeT and other organizations.
They do use these tactics. Aren't they ?
Also, internet has become an internet tool for these organizations to spread wrong information and such incidents with misinformation added turning into propaganda material make thing worse.
I really don't want to take that line of discussion further, because I can see the possible ramifications. The same Internet has created a whole contingent of unintelligent, non-comprehending mechanical followers of bigotry of the kind opposed to the LeT. Do you wish to suggest that both be allowed to grow, or that both should be severely discouraged?
There was a large pack of people - 23 of them - who simply could not discriminate between the outright shooting of unarmed citizens and foreigners held in custody and deaths occurring in gun battles between armed criminals of terrorists and police opposing them.
On another front, these same people are unable to understand that even terrorists have the right of protection under the Indian constitution, and the protection of the indian legal system. They did not wish to accept that, and were stuck on the brutal proposition either that the company of terrorists was sufficient grounds for murder along with the terrorists, or that hearsay evidence of terrorism was sufficient evidence of guilt. There was, of course, no room for considering that in the group of four, not all had equal complicity, nor was there room for accepting that all four were still subject to the provisions of the law. Our law, under which we pride ourselves in our democratic dispensation.
There are two ways to read your point and interpret it.
If the LeT find use of this incident in proclaiming that innocent Muslims are killed illegally in India, and if that is against our interest, what should ensue? Should we enter into a nation-wide conspiracy to ensure that all such deaths are justified, if necessary by concocting evidence, to stop the LeT propaganda before it even starts? Or should we ensure that these criminal acts do not occur, and when they occur, to ensure that the criminals involved are hunted down and punished?
It is your moral dilemma. I have made my choice and have a clear conscience.
I am sorry, @KRAIT, but we are starkly opposed on this, and your subsequent posts, especially #746, show very clearly that you have taken sides. It is sad to see you in the camp of the bigots, but if that is your choice, so be it.
